InfoVista announced its support of Cisco Application Visibility & Control (AVC)—part of the Cisco Integrated Services Routers with Application Experience (Cisco ISR-AX)—with the upcoming release of 5View Service Data Manager and 5View NetFlow.
Communications service providers (CSPs) have used IP VPN services with any-to-any connectivity, multiple classes of service and quality of service (QoS) to deliver compelling services to enterprises. These services drive revenues as legacy lines of business decline. Now, enterprises demand more from their CSPs, as they struggle to manage massive application deployments, cloud services, BYOD and ballooning IT costs.
CSPs are well-positioned to provide not just the visibility and management capabilities of their networks, but also of applications. With the combined Cisco and InfoVista solution, they can offer comprehensive, intuitive visibility on the usage and performance of enterprises’ applications. These applications include those that traverse the operator-provided WAN (e.g. IP VPN) as well as public, cloud-based applications and other Internet traffic. CSPs can not only drive incremental revenues from this combined offering but also ensure the growth of their core IP VPN services, Internet services and cloud services whilst combating the constant threats of price erosion.
Key Facts:
- InfoVista allows any CSP across the globe to build onto their IP VPN services with a scalable, high-capacity, multi-tenant solution for collection, analysis and portal-based presentation of application visibility and performance.
- 5View Service Data Manager offers the robust, carrier-class application performance management platform and feature set needed to provide CSPs and large enterprises with real-time visibility and analysis for a variety of service usage data types. The detailed application traffic service quality and performance statistics it offers furnish network and IT operations teams with information crucial for troubleshooting, service/application usage analysis, traffic engineering, capacity planning, and ensuring QoS and quality of experience.
- 5View NetFlow equips CSPs with the multi-vendor flow data collection capabilities they need to efficiently and cost-effectively launch application usage visibility and performance management services in multi-customer environments. It provides invaluable insight into traffic patterns and how bandwidth is being consumed to support real-time troubleshooting, definition of operational baselines and trends, capacity planning, validating QoS policies and resource loading.
"In a market where many enterprises are adopting cloud-based network and IT services, CSPs are looking for incremental revenues that drive the growth of their differentiated services. Cisco’s AVC initiative addresses this need and does so by leveraging the wide installed base of ISRs," said Vikas Trehan, Sr VP, service assurance product line and alliances.
