Riverstone Products

Can Also Slash Costs

Riverstone routers help service providers

minimize both capital costs and network

operating expenses. They do so by enabling

the efficient use of legacy infrastructure,

reducing the number of network elements,

streamlining network management, and

reducing the need for manual provisioning.

Efficient Use of Legacy Infrastructure

Broadest range of legacy and optical

interfaces: Riverstone’s unmatched

interface options (see above) enable service

providers to seamlessly migrate from existing

legacy infrastructure to next generation

optical networks. That means they can

begin delivering value-added services today,

without incurring the costs of speculative

build-outs on next generation equipment.

Reduced Number of Network Elements

High port-density in a chassis-based

platform: Riverstone’s RS router family

features some of the highest port densities

available anywhere, including the RS 16000,

which boasts over 70% greater gigabit

density than its closest rival. And since

the RS family is a modular, chassis-based

platform, service providers can scale their

networks without adding new boxes.

Integrated functionality: All Riverstone

routers are built around the same core tech-

nology, including a common set of ASICs

and the same RapidOS system software.

That means that all Riverstone routers

feature the full spectrum of service-enabling

technologies, from the smallest access box

to the largest aggregation router. As a result,

Riverstone can often accomplish with one

box what competitors do in two or three

box solutions.

Streamlined Management

Common core technology: Because all

Riverstone routers are built around the same

core technology, there is no need to master

a multitude of systems and feature sets.

Partner and customer learning are stream-

lined because all products use the same

RapidOS firmware platform and all features

are common across the entire RS family.

Open APIs: Service providers need routers

that can support any applications they

choose to deploy. Whether the carrier uses

proprietary software or best-of-breed third-

party solutions, it must be confident that

its infrastructure vendor can integrate with

those applications quickly and painlessly.

Riverstone supports open APIs for flexible

and reliable integration with any service

provider application, including accounting,

provisioning, and network management

software.

The figure above illustrates and highlights

some of the key competitive differentiators

discussed above.

• Unparalleled service creation

• Service delivery over any media

• Billing and accounting for services

• Efficient use of legacy infrastructure

• Reduced number of network elements

• Streamlined management
