Provider Connectivity Assurance released the first On-Prem Controlled Availability version of the platform in July 2025.
Features and functionality have been added to the Controlled Availability release on a continuous basis since the initial July release.
The General Availability release of the software is scheduled for early calendar year 2026.
IMPORTANT: Legacy Orchestrator is not required for the On-Prem solution. This functionality is provided as a built-in feature of the Provider Connectivity Assurance platform, known as Sensor Management, removing the need to install a separate component.
