Telstra Announces Application Assured Networking Service

Telstra introduced an "Application Assured Networking" service that provides enterprises with more control over the increasing number of financial, relationship management, IP telephony, video conferencing and other business applications on their network. The new service will initially allow an organisation to produce reports on how networks are being used by applications which can be viewed via an easy-to-use secure online portal on the Telstra Business and Enterprise website.

Telstra said its goal is to optimise the network to ensure the performance of enterprise applications that really count. Enterprises can define application policies for the network which applies Quality of Service and bandwidth controls in real-time or as scheduled.

The new service is available on the Telstra Next IP network. Peer Industries is the first Telstra customer to use the Application Assured Networking service. http://www.telstra.com
