MasterClaw vProbe - Network Function Virtualization

SHARE

Anritsu’s market-leading Service Assurance solution, MasterClaw, now de-risks your migration to virtualization. The Anritsu vProbe is a cloud-ready solution enabling network operators to optimize and troubleshoot their virtualized networks. It is an integral part of the MasterClaw Customer Experience Assurance solution and can be seamlessly integrated with existing MasterClaw installations, giving a single, simplified and effective way to troubleshoot NFV deployments.

The vProbe can be deployed as a VNF on top of different cloud OSs including VMware vCloud NFV as well as OpenStack. It supports multiple deployment models including hybrid (PNF-VNF) solutions and can be customized to operator use cases.
 
Virtual networks such as virtual-VoLTE, virtual-VoWIFI, vEPC and vIMS can be easily monitored for both Control Plane and User Plane.
 
The solution is optimized for IP traffic capturing in virtualized environments, leveraging packet processing optimization technologies for x86 architectures, reducing the overhead introduced by the hypervisor layer and eliminating the need for purpose-built hardware accelerated packet processing.

vProbe Benefits
  • Helps de-risk adoption of virtualized telecommunications networks by giving access to the right data, in the right tools and in real-time to all stakeholders in the operator’s planning, operations, and engineering teams.
  • Saves virtual infrastructure resources* (vCPU, RAM – CAPEX, power, cooling - OPEX) by utilizing industry-standard technologies such as DPDK.
  • Offers a complete correlated view (RAN to Core, PNF to VNF) of hybrid network deployments with the help of MasterClaw applications.
  • Helps save time and human resources (OPEX) in the OSS administration team by offering an orchestrated, resilient, horizontally scalable, and highly-available architecture (cloud-ready).
