InfoVista Acquires Ipanema Technologies to Maximize Business Application Experience
InfoVista,
the global leader of IP and RF planning, service assurance and network
optimization software solutions, today announced it has acquired Ipanema (News - Alert)
Technologies. Ipanema delivers the most innovative, automated solutions
to guarantee application performance across enterprises' large and
complex networks.
For the fifth consecutive year, Ipanema has been positioned as a
Visionary in Gartner's (News - Alert) "Magic
Quadrant for WAN Optimization". The company's solutions are used by
more than 700 global enterprises and have been adopted by Tier-1
communications service providers (CSPs) to enable the digital
transformation of their corporate customers.
Every business is becoming a digital business, and change is coming
fast. The consequential application proliferation across hybrid
networks, together with the intensive migration of applications to the
cloud, are durably increasing IT complexity. CIOs must regain control of
application usage, protect and align business-critical application
performance with business productivity objectives, and meet users'
quality of experience (QoE) expectations, as the drive toward
digitalization accelerates.
This acquisition is part of InfoVista's strategy to orchestrate network
and application performance. It positions InfoVista to offer the most
integrated and comprehensive solution set and expertise, to maximize
business application experience over hybrid WANs and protect business
continuity.
The combined companies will provide fast synergies to our enterprise
customers, with a unique combination of actionable visibility and
in-depth understanding of application behavior across the entire service
delivery chain. This will enable CIOs to:
-
Make data-driven network investment decisions, maximizing MPLS and
Internet connectivity ROI,
-
Accelerate integrated and proactive problem identification,
troubleshooting and control activities, and
-
Automatically manage, control and guarantee application performance
over the hybrid WAN.
Simultaneously, our CSP (News - Alert) customers will remain in the best seat to
deliver high-performing and differentiated application-aware network
services to their business customers transitioning to the hybrid WAN by:
-
Cost-effectively extending InfoVista's service assurance solution to
the Internet network,
-
Accelerating time-to-market and maximizing monetization of their
hybrid network services, and
-
Leveraging application performance guarantee solutions to further
comply with application SLAs.

"With this acquisition, InfoVista extends its capabilities with
Software-Defined WAN to maximize business application experience over
the hybrid network," said Philippe Ozanian, CEO, InfoVista. "Both
Ipanema and InfoVista strongly share the conviction that CSPs must
play the leading role in helping enterprises make the most of the new
hybrid network and hybrid cloud paradigm. The two companies have also
established a proven and successful technology partnership for several
years. This makes us feel very confident in the benefits it will bring
to our enterprise and CSP customers."

"Ipanema is a disruptive player in the industry. Its vision of
business-centric application performance management through
all-in-one, objective-based and fully automated solutions is becoming
a must-have," said Jim Darragh, CEO, Ipanema Technologies. "This
acquisition will accelerate our vision and current business momentum,
as most CIOs are engaged in the digital transformation of their
enterprises. It is also a natural fit, as both companies share the
same values and passion for customer satisfaction and innovation."
