Telcordia is taking on cloud computing with a new product called IP Assure – scalable, non-intrusive software that detects and helps to rectify configuration errors in IP network devices.
“Enterprises and government agencies are increasingly depending on IP networks to carry sensitive and mission-critical data, which makes security, availability, and regulatory compliance of even greater concern for network administrators,” said Adam Drobot, CTO & President, Advanced Technology Solutions, Telcordia. “Large enterprises, which typically have multiple IP networks managed by geographically dispersed groups, can install IP Assure in a centralized data center, and dispersed users can access it without needing any Telcordia client software or associated hardware.”
Telcordia ssays IP Assure fully supports the cloud computing paradigm because it is completely Web-based and easily supports multiple tenants and users. It can continually analyze IP networks in their entirety, not just on a per-device or per-protocol basis, and delivers real-time, multilevel, multiprotocol views and topologies. IP Assure significantly reduces costs associated with configuration errors that can add up to millions of dollars per year for a G2000 organization, according to the company.
IP Assure is already assisting organizations across the world to help improve the security and operations of their IP networks, including a high-profile branch of the U.S. government, where severe security breaches and compliance issues that got the attention of the U.S. Congress were detected and eliminated.
