Edgewater Networks and Atreus Systems Partner to
Automate Deployment of Hosted VoIP Services
Santa Clara, Calif. – October 17, 2005 – Atreus
Systems™, the premier supplier of VoIP and advanced IP service
provisioning software, and Edgewater Networks, Inc., the leader in Application-Aware
Networking™, today announced a partnership that will enable service
providers to shorten installation cycles, reduce operating costs and
increase the scalability of hosted VoIP services.
The joint solution combines the powerful capabilities of Edgewater Networks’
award-winning EdgeView network management system, EdgeMarc converged
network appliances, and EdgeConnect managed PoE switch with Atreus’
Multi-Service Provisioning Solution. This compelling combination gives
providers best-in-class, interoperable components for critical portions
of hosted VoIP service offerings including customer premises equipment,
element management, provisioning, activation and customer self-management
software.
“Atreus is excited to work with Edgewater Networks. Edgewater
has a proven track record delivering products that simplify deployment
and ongoing maintenance to reduce costs for hosted VoIP service providers.
Our automated software complements the EdgeView, EdgeMarc and EdgeConnect
products, offering an unparalleled solution,” said Len Castelli,
Vice President of Product Management for Atreus Systems.
The strategic partnership enables providers to automate the provisioning
of the customer premises by creating global, site and device specific
IP phone configuration files along with the appropriate EdgeMarc converged
network appliance and EdgeConnect switch configuration files. These
files are then routed and installed on the appropriate devices. Notification
of the installation will be provided for workflow management purposes
creating a closed loop process for automated flow through activation.
“We are thrilled to be working with the recognized leader in multi-service
provisioning solutions. It’s a classic example of the whole being
greater than the sum of its parts. Both companies are bringing domain
expertise that combined offer service providers a solution that will
shorten time-to-market, reduce operating costs and create a competitive
advantage,” said Dave Martin, Vice President of Marketing for
