Empowering converged Managed Services
MSActivator is the corner stone of UBIqube’ Service Provider Solutions Suite. As a next generation Service Delivery platform, it is key to Service Providers, System Integrators, and MSSPs launching integrated managed network and security services.
The MSActivator converged solution features full service lifecycle management from staging, provisioning, ITIL based configuration, and asset management. It is designed to be integrated into a Service Provider’s existing BSS/OSS/CRM environment
The MSActivator services portfolio is enabled over routers, Firewalls, UTMs, etc. Services activated range from VPN, VoIP, to a complete suite of security specific services (Firewall, IDS/IPS, Content filtering, monitoring, etc.).
The MSActivator allows the Service Provider Managed Services portfolio to expand beyond the traditional range, unifying network, security, VoIP services.
Predefined configuration profiles and advanced automation result in faster and more cost efficient service delivery while reducing human error. The multi-tenant, web-based GUI (VSOC), simplifies service management in a multi-vendor and multi-technology environment; A unified web interface provides greater business model flexibility enabling creative service fulfilment scenarios involving different parties.
The MSActivator software is installed in a carrier class NOC/SOC for service delivery and management. Managed services operators can access the platform regardless of their physical location, and therefore can deal with customer issues immediately.
Combining the MSActivator with UBIqube’s management appliance, the SmartSOC-SATM(Service Agent), create for the Service Provider another unique value proposition in the Managed Services industry. The SmartSOC-SATMappliance is installed on customer premises acting as a remote service agent and a local archiving device. In the context of greater regulatory compliancy concerns, this hosted approach to managed services provides the appropriate response for large enterprises and administrations.
The UBIqube MSActivator is a unique, converged Network, Security and VoIP lifecycle management solution.
The MSActivator bridges the gap between network and security management. This appliance will provide IT managers with a single solution for device provisioning, change management, security policy implementation, asset management, log archiving, security reporting, and monitoring. Through automation it streamlines the IT managers’ tasks and reduces complexity for greater efficiency, security and compliancy.
The MSActivatorTM eliminates the need for vendor specific device management software and provides holistic security monitoring and reporting capabilities.
A MSActivator operator will benefit from a single web based GUI(VSOC) to control all stages of network and security lifecycle management.
The VSOC was designed for greater user experience and efficiency. Profiles are used for security rules configuration. Intuitive navigation ensures fast information access, facilitates root causes analysis and remediation initiatives. Tiered administration rights make it possible to delegate MSActivator operation to a local IT department or even a Service Fulfilment Partner.
Bridging Network, Security and VoIP by centralized management through a unified platform, will result in reduced operational costs, optimized use of resources, increase network availability and a more secure IT Infrastructure.
