Brix Offers Service Assurance for Large Enterprise Networks

Brix Networks, a start-up based in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, introduced performance management and service assurance software designed for large enterprise networks. The new "BrixMon" software provides proactive, end-to-end verification of IP-based applications, including VoIP, video, VPN access, and Web services. It provides remote visibility into service performance across the enterprise LAN and WAN, including branch offices, through software-based Brix Verifier Agents or optional hardware Brix Verifiers deployed throughout the network. The solution includes automatic test threshold auditing, compliance analysis, real-time and historical reporting capabilities, storage for performance data, and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for integration with various third-party management tools. An optional VoIP test suite provides performance and quality tests for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.323, or Cisco Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) networks. Detailed test results pinpoint key VoIP quality factors, including call setup, media transmission performance, and voice quality.
