ELKRIDGE, Md. -- Optinel Systems, a privately held provider of converged network solutions, unveiled today its improved network management system, PLEXiS CRYSTALTM, providing network operators with an unparalleled tool that radically simplifies the management of advanced transport networks.

Offering a myriad of capabilities, the feature-rich CRYSTAL package allows users to oversee and control the PLEXiS MFX transport system parameters from remote or on-site locations, greatly simplifying network monitoring functions. System performance and utilization can be evaluated at the network, chassis, and line card levels allowing operators the utmost in system visibility. The software offers dynamic, cost-saving solutions for service-driven managers through advanced link management and b andwidth/capacity provisioning.

“Optinel Systems has provided operators with the PLEXiS MFX, a popular transport hardware solution that’s been an instrumental building block of numerous converged services network infrastructures,” said Jim Faust, CEO of Optinel Systems. “The CRYSTAL product now gives operators an innovative and easy-to-use tool to harness the network through a flexible and robust GUI that can be accessed from any location at the system level.
