Neos Networks Deploys Blue Planet to Automate Service Delivery

Neos Networks, one of the UK's largest connectivity providers, is deploying software from Blue Planet, a Ciena subsidiary, to increase end-to-end visibility across its network and flexibility to meet its customers' ever-changing needs. Blue Planet enables Neos Networks to simplify service provisioning through the multi-vendor, multi-layer transport network, which covers 24,000+ km, 477 PoPs, and 90 data centers to provide on-demand access to on-net businesses, government agencies, and other public bodies.

“It is critical that the operational environment effectively facilitates a better-integrated future to underpin the UK's digital ambitions,” said Dave Eddy, COO of Neos Networks. “Blue Planet supports our commitment to achieve pace and scale as our customers' dynamic requirements begin to evolve.”

As part of its goal to deliver premier connectivity solutions to UK companies, Neos Networks is using Blue Planet Multi-Domain Service Orchestration (MDSO) to simplify on-net end-to-end provisioning through its multi-vendor Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks. Neos Networks will focus on serving its clients and challenging service delivery norms by simplifying and automating service delivery. Through this innovation, the provider will be able to concentrate on providing reliable and critical connectivity to all of its clients that support critical national infrastructure.

“With Blue Planet, Neos Networks gives its users the ability to control their resources and have on-demand capabilities to their customers,” said Kailem Anderson, Blue Planet's Vice President of Portfolio and Engineering. “By transforming the network, Neos Networks enjoys a competitive edge in the transition while providing its users with cloud-like experiences.”
