Time-based software licenses

FTB OnDemand orchestrates the instantiation of licenses enabling customers to activate a wide range of testing functionalities—such as 100G testing—for a specific period time to match their exact testing requirements. This flexibility is perfect for situations where a test function is only needed for a specific project or for a new service that is still in the early ramp-up stage. FTB OnDemand is part of EXFO TFv, the industry’s first suite of defined offerings that focuses on test function virtualization.

Unique, flexible software architecture

Thanks to EXFO’s leadership in cloud-based test solutions, our solution features a unique and flexible software architecture that is easily compatible with a number of EXFO’s best-in-class test modules including:

• FTB-88100NGE 
• FTBx-88200NGE 
• FTB-5240S-P/BP  
• NetBlazer V2 Series

CAPEX- and OPEX-conscious solution

FTB OnDemand delivers the flexibility to perform a specific test, on a specific module for a specific period of time. This solution allows for barrier-free entry, reduced costs, increased business productivity and greater flexibility, not to mention maximum scalability and efficiency when it comes to network testing and service turn-up.

Pushing the limits of cost efficient testing

No more: technician A needs 100G capability, but that unit is with technician B (300 miles away).

Now: 100% functionality for all your technicians, in any testing situation.

• Flexibility and agility to address any testing situation—always the right solution
• Increased productivity—more done in less time
• No idle time

Maximum flexibility within budget

No more: deciding which units and which technicians get the upgrade.

Now: without “upgrading” the budget, all your units and technicians can use the licenses.

• More testing capabilities without spending more
• 100% functionality for all your technicians, at all time
• Minimum investment leveraged throughout your organization

Eliminating logistical nightmares

No more: shipping units for upgrades (with the accompanying costs and delays).

Now: instantaneous access to needed features, no shipping, no delays.

• No need to ship units—no waybill, no tracking, no customs clearing, no lost or damaged units
• No need to manage the equipment pool
• Much simpler operational processes
