Visual Network Systems, a provider of Enterprise Service Intelligence for IT organisations, has introduced a suite of seven new ASEs (Analysis Service Elements), which provide in-depth, real-time and historical visibility into the performance of network and applications including VoIP.
The company said that the new ASEs models support multi-port, single and dual-inline Gigabit Ethernet and combined OC-3/OC-12 WAN analysis for voice, video and data traffic.
The ASEs indicate when service levels are met, warn when degradation occurs and send alerts when service levels exceed acceptable limits. Additionally, they are compatible with the suite of Visual Performance Manager applications for managing the performance of networked applications, MPLS networks and VoIP deployments.
Further, the new ASEs are designed for high performance data capture, analysis and can handle over 4,000 site-to-site service level measurements, including packet delivery ratio, availability, and round-trip delay per class of service to indicate the service provider’s WAN MPLS network. While in call centre applications, each ASE can support up to 1.2 million daily call tracking.
Lyn Cantor, general manager at Visual Network Systems, said: "Visual Network Systems offers a broad portfolio of data collection elements to ensure we provide the broadest enterprise visibility as a part of our Enterprise Service Intelligence strategy. The newly released ASEs demonstrate our continued commitment to hardware probe-based data collectors for network performance monitoring.
"Specifically, the ASEs complement our flow-based collectors to provide a diverse set of data collectors so that our customers can have complete visibility of their enterprise WAN, LAN and data centres, allowing them to be in control of the end-user experience when delivering critical business services."
