InfoVista Intros New Software Solutions to Help Service Providers Launch VPN Business Services

InfoVista, a provider of proactive service assurance solutions, has released two new software solutions designed to help service providers launch value-added virtual private network (VPN) business services.

 

The newest solutions are InfoVista 5View Service Data Manager and InfoVista 5View Application Optimization Manager. According to company officials, both these solutions have been designed to work synergistically as a complement to the company’s VistaInsight for Networks performance management solution to extend monitoring and reporting capabilities to the business-critical application level.

 

InfoVista’s Service Data Manager is equipped with 5View Application Usage Manager. Officials said that this option enables business service providers to collect application traffic and usage data relating to their managed VPN customers and the wide-area network (WAN).

 

The 5View Application Optimization Manager can be used as a stand-alone solution as well as be used in combination with Service Data Manager to monitor and report how effectively applications are consuming bandwidth over the WAN.

 

With the help of 5View Service Data Manager and 5View Application Optimization Manager, service providers can enhance their services portfolio by offering advanced business services that address the critical market needs for business application visibility and WAN optimization.

 

Additionally, officials said that they can also improve operational efficiency, cross-functional troubleshooting, and problem resolution through an integrated network and application performance platform. This allows them to monitor and report on business applications and the network infrastructure used to deliver those applications.

 

Also, service providers can use application traffic information to prioritize business-critical applications and intelligently advise customers on bandwidth optimization opportunities.

 

“Our new software solutions collectively represent the next logical step in InfoVista’s efforts to meet the evolving needs of service providers and their enterprise customers,” said Vikas Trehan, vice president of product management at InfoVista.

 

He added that by further extending the service assurance capabilities with Service Data Manager and Application Optimization Manager, “We’re helping service providers and their valued enterprise customers ensure performance and SLA compliance at the critical application level.”

Back in February, the company announced that it is also working with Brocade (News - Alert) to deliver enhanced performance management and flexible customer reporting through the Brocade Network Monitoring Service (NMS).
