QoSmetrix Launches

PARIS -- QoSmetrix has launched its European development after raising € 5.5 million through a group of investors including CDC-IXIS INNOVATION (formerly CDC INNOVATION PARTNERS), INNOVACOM and TechFund Capital Europe. The team of Jean Azan and Yves Cognet founded QoSmetrix in September 1999 and has been joined by Joe Ovanesian, Eric Moreau and Stephane Bieri. The company specializes in the conception, development and sale of real-time IP network QoS measurement systems. Using their new and innovative solutions, QoSmetrix qualifies and optimizes IP network engineering and implementation. Their systems are also capable of measuring and controlling new QoS services with guaranteed levels of quality and their associated Service Level Agreements. “The goal of this first fund raising is to finance the commercialization of our NetWarrior™ probes and their central management system, NetAdvisor™, and then to begin deployment throughout Europe. This € 5.5 million capital funding allows us to put our European sales and support structure in place. The European market is continuing to grow and will represent the principal market for our products over the next two years…,” says QoSmetrix CEO Jean Azan. QoSmetrix
