Voyence Unveils Strategy for Network Service Management
RICHARDSON, Texas, June 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Voyence(TM) Inc., the leading provider of configuration management solutions for networks of any size, unveiled its strategy for helping customers realize the vision of a truly adaptive and on-demand IT infrastructure to deliver advanced network services, such as VOIP and VPN. Voyence also announced that VoyenceControl! Version 3.0 is now generally available. VoyenceControl! 3.0 is a proven, functionally- rich, scalable network configuration management solution providing the essential configuration abstraction capabilities for the company's forthcoming Network Service Management Platform.
Automating the Network: Understanding How Devices Work Together
The market is driving the industry leaders to provide solutions to manage applications and services through business rules. Voyence is delivering the enabling piece of the puzzle that will allow those systems to automate the reconfiguration of the underlying network infrastructure. Today, VoyenceControl! is the only solution in the network configuration management (NCM) space that provides a connected model of the network. Without this, it is not possible to offer an abstraction layer that reliably understands how devices work together to offer a network service such as a VPN tunnel or VoIP path.
VoyenceControl! 3.0: The Right Network Information to the Right People
VoyenceControl! 3.0 provides multiple levels of access to get the right network information to the right people while facilitating communication between engineers, auditors, operators and customers. Personnel can now leverage real-time knowledge to quickly find network information such as vulnerabilities and services with powerful search capabilities.
The release provides for the definition and enforcement of security standards and best-practice configurations with automated compliance testing and one-click remediation. It also provides critical OS management capabilities that allow engineers to securely and reliably manage the staging and deployment of OS images.
"Users are increasingly demanding Best Practice integration capabilities from solution vendors who automate network configuration tasks. Another user requirement includes security and government compliance testing capabilities that streamline and support regulatory tracking requirements," stated Stephen Elliot, Senior Analyst, IDC. "When combined, users should experience a substantial improvement in configuration processes and auditing workflows."
Network Service Management Platform: Combating Network Complexities to Deliver New Services
Today, VoyenceControl! helps customers provision VPNs, ATM, Frame Relay and other technologies through the use of Wizards. Voyence has led the way for service automation with this approach in the Managed Service Provider, enterprise and education markets.
With today's announcement Voyence is redefining the network configuration management market through the delivery of a new network service management platform in September 2004. This platform will strengthen the importance of VoyenceControl! as the underlying technology that can manage the complex configurations of multi-vendor infrastructures for both the enterprise and managed service providers.
The new platform will enable efficient and reliable provisioning of IT services that rely on LAN or WAN resources such as VoIP, VPN, VLAN, and QoS. By enhancing and extending this business-critical functionality from embedded wizards to a higher-order, user-customizable application, Voyence will be delivering the most extensible network service management solution in the market.
"Voyence's network configuration management software provides business and IT leaders with the visibility they need to make effective and timely decisions regarding their network infrastructure," said Susan Nash, CEO of Voyence. "In today's environment, speed and agility are required to combat network complexities and adapt to changing requirements. Extending our leading technology to manage network services, our customers will have a competitive advantage in the race to deliver new services to consumers."
