WALTHAM, Mass. -- Ipanema Technologies, a leader in application traffic management systems for wide area networks (WANs), today announced that Swisscom’s Corporate Business is driving its new managed WAN service, Application Performance Management (APM), using Ipanema’s WAN optimization technology.
This new managed service for LAN-Interconnect (LAN-I) provides enterprises with greater control of their network and application performance.
IT and networking departments are increasingly called on to align with business goals and guarantee the delivery and performance of key business applications. As a result, network managers are increasingly looking for service providers that can offer application-centric Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
Swisscom Corporate Business is utilizing technology from Ipanema Technologies to deliver APM. Ipanema Technologies’ Business Network Optimization solution offers Swisscom Corporate Business a scalable carrier class system with a dedicated service delivery framework called SALSA. The system transcends Swisscom’s actual IP VPN service, allows it to shift from a network SLA model to an Application SLA model and opens the door for a new generation of high-value services centered on what matters most to the enterprise: the performance of business-critical applications.
By managing the performance of applications across the WAN, APM helps customers meet business goals, such as improving the management of a converged Virtual Private Networks or maximizing the investment in other IT resources. Specific performance targets can be set for applications based on the business objectives of the company and controlled across any IP infrastructure. The service allows optimization decisions to be taken globally across the network, reducing risk, downtime and data loss.
