SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Ando Corporation announced today the interoperability between its new IP Core Network Probe with two leading-edge solutions from Computer Associates International, Inc.(CA) -- Unicenter TNG for complete eBusiness management and the standalone NetworkIT for network management. This interoperability will allow IP carriers and providers, for the first time, to monitor, collect and report on data flowing at the core of Packet-over-SONET (POS) networks at wire speed up to OC-48c (2.5 Gbit/s).

"Working with an industry leader such as CA is a natural progression for Ando," says Hiro Sato, general manager of Ando Corporation's IP Products Division. "Although Ando's probe can collect detailed traffic information that is otherwise not available at the IP core, it is just one piece of the network management solution. When used to enhance solutions such as NetworkIT and Unicenter TNG, the probe enables IP carriers and providers to overcome the obstacles that have prevented them from effectively managing their networks, such as high speeds and large volumes of data."
