Smart companies are seeing the importance of collaboration, and believe they can achieve more when they collaborate, particularly on a global scale. HFR, a network equipment company in Korea, and WebNMS, a division of Zoho (News - Alert) Corp., and a provider of network orchestration solutions, are also into collaboration. Recently HFR signed a partnership agreement with Zoho's WebNMS.

As per the arrangement, the HFR HA-800 series of networking systems is now integrated with the WebNMS Carrier Ethernet Management Solution to provide a series of solution that can help in building complete mobile backhaul networks that are cost effective, simple to manage and can handle highly demanded 4G services.

“We chose WebNMS for its comprehensive suite of management capabilities and its flexibility in adapting to our unique features and customer requirements,” Peter K. Cho, vice president of HFR, Inc., said in a statement.

“HFR quickly delivered our end-to-end mobile backhaul solution with the WebNMS network and service management solution that integrates service activation, assurance, performance and fault management with powerful and intuitive visualization tools,” Cho added.

The integration of WebNMS solution with HA-800 series of HFR facilitates a complete transformation of service provider networks to a unified and scalable orchestrated service delivery platform.

This transformation is believed to simplify service delivery and lower provider operational costs.
