Assuring Service Performance in Your Software-Defined World
April 4, 2013 at 11:00AM ET
Enterprises, service providers, and government agencies are all moving to virtual data centers, or cloud architectures, or the new Software Defined Data Center (SDDC), to obtain the well-documented benefits of agility, efficiency, and cost control. But the move to these dynamic, software-defined architectures is creating new challenges for the management teams who are responsible for ensuring service availability and performance to the business. During this webcast, you will hear Rick Walsworth, EMC’s SDDC Product Director, and Tom Hayes, EMC Service Assurance Product Director, discuss the challenges and approaches to managing these new IT environments.
Fraud Management for Next Generation Networks
Telecommunications fraud is a significant concern for communications service providers. It robs carriers of revenues, consumes valuable network resources without remuneration, and leads to customer disputes and churn. A 2011 Communications Fraud Control Association (CFCA) survey estimates global telecommunications fraud loss at $40.1 Billion (USD) or nearly 2% of worldwide telecom revenues.
With the advent of VoIP-based next generation networks, communications service providers and large enterprises are vulnerable to a wide array of increasingly sophisticated attacks. While dealing with the risk of fraud can be daunting, new tools for protecting from and preventing fraud are emerging that offer large operators the ability to protect themselves, protect their customers, and offer differentiate themselves from their competition.
