Ipsum Advances IP Management

PHILADELPHIA –– Ipsum Networks today introduced the latest release of its award-winning Route Dynamics software, version 2.2, with support for IP Application Management, delivering visibility into application and service availability and performance over IP networks.

Route Dynamics version 2.2 empowers businesses with a capability they have never had before – to view and analyze the real-time flow of applications and services through their IP network. This means enterprises and service providers will be able to achieve higher service availability levels and reduce costs by decreasing the mean-time-to-identify (MTTI) and mean-time-to-repair (MTTR) for IP layer faults, misconfigurations and routing errors that commonly affect business-critical IP networks and services. With the version 2.2 release, Route Dynamics enables businesses to monitor, alarm and report on the availability and baseline activity level of their IP-based services. It represents an important step towards managing not just the IP infrastructure but the applications that rely on it.

“As applications and services such as voice over IP (VoIP) and IP-VPNs are deployed, delivering visibility into how those services are utilizing the network in real-time becomes more critical than ever,” said Dana Brown, Ipsum Networks’ chief executive officer. “IT and line-of-business professionals responsible for managing application and service availability require richer solutions to aid in understanding and managing how the complex and distributed nature of IP routing affects service delivery. With this release of Route Dynamics, we are able to move them closer to attaining true end-to-end IP application and infrastructure management.”

Route Dynamics software, delivered on network appliances, non-intrusively monitors enterprise-wide IP routing protocol communications to provide a real-time picture of IP flow paths from source to destination – including distributed or redundant flow paths. Combined with patent-pending IP topology, fault and root-cause analysis functionality, Route Dynamics can rapidly pinpoint infrastructure or configuration problems affecting network, application or service availability and performance.

"The visibility that Route Dynamics brings to IP network and traffic flow accelerates management efficiencies by streamlining the broader troubleshooting process," said Dennis Drogseth, vice president, Enterprise Management Associates. "The ability to both identify how application data traverses your network and localize the cause of poor performance represents a significant contribution to network, application and service monitoring."
