NetOp Policy Manager

NetOp™ Policy Manager provides a dynamic policy management system for implementing and managing subscriber services for the SmartEdge® MSER family. It facilitates initial subscriber configuration, simplifies network provisioning and enables assignment of services. After establishing the subscriber, NetOp Policy Manager greatly simplifies change management by allowing subscribers to self-provision service levels on-demand, such as requesting increased bandwidth or adding new services, through an interactive web portal. A single NetOp Policy Manager system can support hundreds of physical SmartEdge MSER devices enabling the implementation of unified policy management with a single point of control for highly-distributed Triple Play service delivery with seamless mobility and roaming capabilities. As a result, NetOp Policy Manager identifies known subscribers and applies subscribed service levels regardless of which SmartEdge MSER platform a user logs on from.
