25.7 On-Premise Controlled Availability Release Notes

Provider Connectivity Assurance released the first On-Premise Controlled Availability version of the platform in 2025 and features and functionalities have been added to the Controlled Availability release on a continuous basis since then. The General Availability release of the software is scheduled for early 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.
