Last month, Nakina launched the new version of its Nakina Network OS solution that enables faster deployments of Carrier Ethernet services over heterogeneous infrastructures. The Nakina Network OS platform provides a single, flexible network and element management solution that supports full Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance and Security (FCAPS) functionality across legacy and next-generation networks.
Under this agreement, Nakina Network OS software will be used by ANDA as a platform to power its EtherView 2.0 carrier-grade element management system (EMS) product line.

“Our service provider customers are aggressively rolling out next-generation Ethernet 2.0 access services,” said Greg Gum, VP Marketing and Business Development, ANDA Networks.
Gum mentioned that Nakina’s software already manages ANDA’s products and thus they were a natural choice for the company when it developed its new carrier grade EtherView 2.0 multi-vendor EMS management solution.
Mary O’Neill, vice president of Market Development and Professional Services at Nakina Systems (

infrastructure and services.
Gum added that the Nakina Network OS will allow the company to simplify development and integration efforts and roll out services faster with a single point of integration into back-office OSS systems across multiple equipment vendors and technologies.
