RtBrick has announced a new Management API for its disaggregated routing software that simplifies the integration with existing OSS and BSS systems.

Analysis Mason has recognized OSS and BSS integration as one of the major industry barriers to adopting network disaggregation, for example.

Unlike previous approaches, RtBrick's API is 'consumer-driven' - which means that integration with carriers' systems isn't restricted by the details of vendors' internal implementations.

"The Management API will abstract everything a carrier needs to run their disaggregated IP network: software container lifecycles, network and service configuration, operational state, metrics, events and logs," said Hannes Gredler, founder and chief technology officer at RtBrick.

"But it will be simple to integrate into any carrier's existing OSS and BSS systems because we won't be dictating the language they need to adopt on their side."

The new Management API builds on existing open APIs that already allow direct interaction with any attribute inside the RtBrick system, accessing a single database that includes everything from forwarding table information to the temperature of the chips in the underlying hardware.
