Leading Proactive Service Assurance Vendor Continues to Build Momentum in Supporting Carrier Ethernet Network Equipment and Service Providers

Paris, France and Herndon, VA – September 22, 2008 – InfoVista (Euronext IFV - FR0004031649), the leader in delivering proven solutions for proactive service assurance, will demonstrate how its VistaInsight® for Networks solution can support a variety of service providers in their efforts to deliver reliable, high-quality Ethernet-based services at the Carrier Ethernet World Congress (CEWC) in Berlin, September 23-25. Sponsored by the Metro Ethernet Forum, of which InfoVista is an active member, CEWC represents the world’s leading event for Ethernet technology, discussion, debate and education.<.p>

 

InfoVista’s participation as a CEWC sponsor furthers its dedication to the Carrier Ethernet community. Already, InfoVista has partnered with leading vendors such as Alcatel-Lucent, Juniper, Cisco, Nortel, Huawei and ADVA Optical Networking to address service provider challenges associated with assuring deployments of the most up-to-date Carrier Ethernet technologies. One such challenge is helping service providers to ensure compliance with stringent service level agreement (SLA) quality parameters. By addressing this and other challenges, InfoVista assists its service provider customers in developing competitive and innovative portfolios for their enterprise or managed service clients.

 

“InfoVista’s support of leading hardware vendors with unparalleled performance and proactive service assurance capabilities positions InfoVista as a market standout and an evolving de facto standard in network performance management,” says Steve Hateley, InfoVista’s Market Director for Service Providers. “We will continue to partner with network equipment providers to extend our performance management coverage and ensure that service providers can deliver quality, reliable communication services to their customers, regardless of the composition of their network IT infrastructures.”

 

InfoVista will offer attendees three ways to learn more about how it helps service providers get the most from Carrier Ethernet:

 

 

InfoVista will be the only performance management vendor to participate in the Interoperability Showcase, a lab setting where InfoVista will demonstrate to prospective customers and partners, and the media, how its solution supports network devices from Alcatel-Lucent, Juniper, Cisco, Nortel, Huawei and ADVA Optical Networking.

 

“This is the first time InfoVista has taken the opportunity to participate in this lab,” adds Hateley. “It’s a great opportunity for us to showcase our ability to perform multivendor Ethernet service reporting and show how we are leading the way in performance management of Carrier Ethernet services.”

 

InfoVista’s flagship solution, VistaInsight® for Networks, which InfoVista will demonstrate in the multivendor Carrier Ethernet network environment, is specifically designed to meet the challenges of global service providers, such as helping them to address stringent service-level parameters, bandwidth issues, and flexibility and scalability requirements. The solution provides proactive service assurance that enables service providers to meet and exceed performance expectations for today’s next generation communication technologies and services.
