Visual Networks Introduces Application Performance Visibility

Visual Networks introduced a new "Visual UpTime Select" capability for verification of application delivery across both high-speed (OC-3) and international (E1) IP networks. Visual Networks' performance management system now provides real-time and historical network and application visibility across high- bandwidth networks employing mixed or homogeneous MPLS, private IP, Frame Relay and ATM circuits.



Visual Networks said its Analysis Service Elements (ASEs) enable highly scalable data collection with local storage to eliminate the need for frequent polling, thereby significantly reducing management traffic overhead. In addition to collecting network performance data used for event monitoring, troubleshooting, traffic capture, and planning and reporting purposes, the new OC-3 and E1 ASEs support IP service level agreements (SLAs) so that Visual UpTime Select customers can monitor availability, throughput and round-trip delay metrics. In addition, the new ASEs can track multi- protocol activity and gather SLA data for IP Class of Service (CoS) traffic. http://www.visualnetworks.com
