Case Study:
FG Remote Network Management, Fiberutilities Group Keeps Tabs on Statewide
Networks with MRV (pdf)
FG Remote Network Management: In 2007, the nation found itself
in the grip of late-season storms that resulted in unseasonably severe
cold weather. Concentrated in the Midwest, the cold snap caused ice
storms in numerous areas throughout the region. Among the areas hardest
hit was the state of Iowa, in which 20 communities lost power. The impact
of these storms on statewide networks was extreme, presenting a huge
network management challenge for Fiberutilities Group (FG). The Cedar
Rapids, IA, based company builds private networks that are owned by
its telecommunications and enterprise customers. Many of them also turn
to FG to manage these networks. With the extreme weather causing major
power outages, FG technicians were busy keeping an eye on back up power
and networking equipment. Without an out-of-band network management
system, the company would have been in the dark as to how to prioritize
its resources to maximize uptime. That's where its MRV-based out-of-band
network helped the company to shine with its customers.
