A Comprehensive, Converged Service Assurance Solution
The advantage EXFO Service Assurance (formerly Brix Networks) provides to its customers is the ability to assure any IP service, over any network, to any endpoint — all from the same open and extensible platform.
The Brix System is a seamlessly integrated hardware and software solution that delivers end-to-end quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) visibility and real-time IP service monitoring and verification for the world's most demanding networks. Built on a distributed architecture, the Brix System ensures the successful launch and ongoing, profitable operation of all types of IP-based voice, video, and data applications and services across wireline and wireless networks.
Whether a worldwide, multi-service MPLS network, backbone transport for long-distance wireless or wireline VoIP traffic, an IPTV distribution network, residential VoIP services, or a managed IP telephony offering for enterprise customers, the Brix System is unique in its ability to collect and measure the key performance indicators (KPIs) that truly reflect the end-to-end performance and quality of an IP-based service.
By combining a systematic program of scheduled active (on-demand) tests with continuous passive (live) service monitoring, the Brix System is appropriate for deployment at all phases of the IP service lifecycle, including: pre-deployment network assessment, rollout verification, troubleshooting, ongoing operational monitoring, and service level assurance. With both real-time and historical reports and analytics, the Brix System is the ideal service assurance solution to support the complete service lifecycle, and delivers a complete view of service quality and performance — the only way to ensure the success of a next-generation service.
The Brix System also easily integrates with pre-existing operational support systems (OSS) and back-office applications, such as fault management, provisioning, and trouble-ticketing systems, as well as third-party data gathering tools.

- BrixWorx — Service assurance correlation and analysis software engine
