SMARTS (System Management ARTS Incorporated) introduced a software system for managing MPLS-based VPNs. The solution is designed to automatically discover the components of the MPLS environment and the logical and physical relationships in the MPLS and VPN domains. It can be used to pinpoint the root cause of service-affecting problems, and calculate their impact on services and customers. The company said that two of the world’s largest service providers have already licensed the InCharge MPLS-VPN Manager to intelligently manage and ensure the reliability of their core MPLS-based service offerings.

You just read about MPLS. Here is what it replaced:
Frame Relay served 1990–2010. What ultimately replaced it?
Frame Relay switched variable-length frames over pre-provisioned permanent virtual circuits, dropping X.25's per-hop error correction (links were now clean) and pushing recovery to the endpoints for far higher throughput. Its job passed to MPLS — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
