Nakina Systems joins effort to form multi-service

Nakina Systems has announced that it is participating in an initiative to form a multi-service business gateway (MSBG) alliance along with LSI Corporation and several other companies. Companies involved with this effort are focused on delivering an industry-wide open system with a complete solution for current and next-generation business services. Nakina's market-leading management software supports the MSBG market with a multi-vendor, multi-domain, carrier-grade, scalable and secure network and element management solution that enables service providers and network equipment vendors to rapidly deploy new services.

"Nakina brings expertise as a network management solution provider and integrator," said Charlie Kawwas, vice president of segment marketing, LSI. "Nakina's carrier-class management solutions are important in creating highly flexible and scalable solutions customers demand."

The MSBG is designed to provide an elegant solution to small and medium business locations by providing a one-box solution with a multitude of functionality including routing, unified communication, multi-service WAN, security (VPN, intrusion detection, anti-spam) and mobility services. Rather than purchasing and managing each of these services separately, the enterprise can now save time and maintenance costs by including all of them in one MSBG. MSBGs provide service providers and value-added resellers with a platform for delivering new applications and services to these market segments.

"Customers are asking the industry for pre-integrated solutions that provide rapid time to market and a high level of reliability," said Mary O'Neill, vice president of market development, Nakina Systems. "Our ongoing relationship with LSI has allowed us to deliver this for the MSBG and the business services market. This represents another proof point of our business strategy to work with key network equipment vendors to develop and deliver Nakina Network OS-ready management solutions that enable the rapid deployment of new services."
