RADCOM's Network Service Beefed Up with HP's AI

By Vivek Naik
RADCOM recently announced that it is partnering with HP and will utilize its Adaptive Infrastructure (AI) with Omni-Q, its own network solution.
The technology coupling delivers an extensible package deal with an anticipated reduction in costs, a faster environment with continuous discrete quality checks, and an assured improved Return on Investment (ROI) for the customer.
RADCOM’s several products are in two principal streams – Network Analyzing and Network Monitoring. Omni-Q falls in the latter category. It provides continuous and comprehensive details of usage and interactions across all layers and in the different operating networks. It achieves this independent of changes to applications such as upgrades, patch (corrective) reconciliation, and even the installation of new applications. It monitors and analyzes each transaction and packet transmission. By unendingly checking the pulse of traffic it provides early warning signals for slowing down, clogging and faults. Each problem is then tackled and cleared independently. 
Omni-Q works on a wide range of networks such as carrier Ethernets in Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN); multiple access technologies for mobile networks which exchange voice, data and signals in the Code Division Multiple Access 2000 (CDMA2000) series; Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) for 3G, Wideband – CDMA (W-CDMA). It is now being developed for 4G; any Internet Protocol (IP) related networks such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) for cell-type data transfer, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) for ranges up to 124 miles (200 kms) and Wi-Fi or Wireless LAN (WLAN); and passive optical network (PON) where fibres are split to exchange data from one source to many destinations.
Omni-Q also caters for and transmits high-end streaming as required for Internet games, video conferencing, IPTV (News - Alert), and VoIP. Its performance probe platform, R70, is specifically designed for digital exchange over complex IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS) and runs primarily on an indigenously developed Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) known as GearSet.
HP’s AI delivers lean, fast technology by working around excessive customization, numerous applications and untapped capacity. It provides high security systems, meets mandatory regulations, accurately pin-points business critical data, is expandable, has a pay-as-per-usage approach, works 24x7, consumes less power, and handles a lot of data. In addition, it is automated, provides critical management strategic information and, being mostly virtualized, provides attractive fringe benefits such as resource multiplexing, shielding server settings, and working from experimental goof-ups, and overall standardization.
Don’t forget to check out TMCnet’s White Paper Library, which provides a selection of in-depth information on relevant topics affecting the IP Communications industry. The library offers white papers, case studies and other documents which are free to registered users. Today’s featured white paper is Fixed Service Strategies for Mobile Network Operators, brought to you by Comverse (News - Alert).
