ACE*COMM Corporation, a global provider of advanced operations support systems (OSS) solutions for communications networks will provide components of its Convergent Mediation suite to automate data transport and management for Saudi Aramco’s network switching elements installed in Saudi Arabia.

“Large private networks are built using the same technologies as carrier networks and often face the same mediation challenges. Our data management solutions support usage-sensitive billing with flexible and configurable collection for these large networks,” said George T. Jimenez, CEO of ACE*COMM. “We are pleased to announce this new relationship with Saudi Aramco. We believe it marks the first step in an ongoing partnership that will allow us to address their evolving requirements for enhanced network performance, reduced costs and increased efficiency.”

Saudi Aramco will derive benefit from ACE*COMM’s data collection mediation solutions, that can capture, manage and verify network activity, and derive information, from virtually any type of network element. Convergent Mediation provides standards-based solutions with a wide support library of formats and protocols. Data is recorded and processed in near real-time and the solution provides centralized monitoring and troubleshooting that can reduce maintenance costs and ensure minimum down-time.
