Montreal, Canada - May 19, 2011 - The Alcatel-Lucent IP division’s Network Design Engineering team has successfully completed an integration validation between Watch4net’s APG solution and the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM.

The focus of the validation was on the interoperability between the two products, such as the statistics gathering (performance, OAM, accounting), the object inventory and the redundancy of the solution.

These tests were to ensure that when APG is installed, the OSS application is stable and does not jeopardize the integrity of the network or the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM, and that all the relevant functionalities are working as designed.

“The fact that Watch4net APG is validated with Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM ensures customers have an advanced and innovative performance-based solution, immediately providing a fast return on investment” says Michel Foix, President of Watch4net Solutions.

Watch4net APG offers a pre-defined and pre-integrated solution for the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM, offering telecom service providers and enterprises solid business cases, including:

• Automatic inventory and statistic data retrieval from an Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM,
• Built-in instrumentation and adaptive analysis to detect in real-time performance issues and SLA violations,
• Hundreds of service-oriented dashboards and reports on the MPLS infrastructure, services, router performance, OAM and traffic details,
• Multi-tenant web portal, providing targeted views for operations, engineering, management and customers.
