Anue Extends Network Visibility Systems to Telecommunication and Cable Service Providers

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Anue Systems, a leading provider of network visibility systems, introduced its newest Net Tool Optimizer (NTO) product – the 5273 high availability platform designed for telecommunication and cable service providers – at Interop Las Vegas.

“Our NTO systems are easy to use and provide value for our customers within a matter of minutes, through increased network visibility and tool utilization”

Telecommunication and cable service providers can leverage the carrier class 5273 NTO, a full NEBS Level 3 compliant device, to meet network performance goals and keep up with increased bandwidth demand created by rapidly growing mobile and video content traffic. Its drag-and-drop graphical user interface (GUI) gives network engineers the ability to easily connect monitoring tools to the corresponding SPAN ports and taps, optimizing tool utilization and network performance.

“The proliferation of monitoring tools creates difficulties for network engineers who are trying to manage increasingly complex infrastructures,” said Elisabeth Rainge, research vice president, NGN Operations for IDC. “The net tool optimizer products from Anue Systems are the kind of solutions that can address the issue by directing data traffic to the right tools at the right time. With this latest product release, Anue is taking an important step by increasing visibility points and capacity for high-availability environments such as carriers and very large corporations.”

The Anue NTO aggregates data from multiple visibility points and ensures the delivery of mission critical network traffic to essential monitoring tools, giving data center teams complete network visibility. The product’s automation capabilities allow customers to dynamically configure the NTO in response to real-time network events. For example, when a firewall detects a problem it runs a script to the NTO and makes the connection between the data recorder and the port to automatically record the incident.

In addition, the Anue NTO plugs into existing network management systems to give visibility into Simple Network Management Systems (SNMP) statistics that relate to the network monitoring configurations. It supports standard management information bases (MIB) and offers extensive MIB access for the vast array of statistical information that the NTO generates.

“Our NTO systems are easy to use and provide value for our customers within a matter of minutes, through increased network visibility and tool utilization,” said Keith Cheney, Anue Systems senior vice president. “As a direct result of the increased visibility, our customers experience a reduction in network outages, an improvement in network performance and an increase in the data center teams’ overall productivity. With the 5273 NTO, we are now bringing this critical functionality to service providers whose network availability standards are among the highest in the industry.”
