CHANTILLY, Virginia, February 23 /PRNewswire/ --
- High speed solutions to be integral part of Spirent's Ethernet Service Assurance portfolio
Endace Limited (LSE/AIM: EDA), a recognized developer of high speed packet capture networking technology, today announced a technology partnership with Spirent Communications (LSE: SPT) to develop the next generation of high speed service assurance probes, used by service providers to ensure quality of service on their networks. Spirent has a strong reputation in the fast-growing field of Ethernet Service Assurance, enabling service providers to verify revenue-generating IP-based services and their underlying network infrastructure.
We enable service providers to better track customers' service level agreements and provide immediate and actionable status information about their networks, remarked Sean Yarborough, Director of Marketing - Strategy and Business Development at Spirent. Our Quality of Service Probes are the de facto standard used by service providers to confirm their IP networks can meet exacting service level agreements. This partnership with Endace helps us to develop higher-speed probes that will meet the growth in network bandwidth and utilization.
While the need for Ethernet services has grown quickly, the management of these multi-vendor IP networks has become more complex. With no standardized approach to IP service management, operators have lacked end-to-end visibility of Ethernet services and been challenged to provide faster troubleshooting and resolution. These problems are compounded as network loading increases and backhaul speeds scale accordingly.
Spirent is the natural choice for any operator that has been challenged with the monitoring and measurement of next generation IP networks, said Stephen Gleave, VP Marketing at Endace. When Spirent approached us to develop technology for their next generation of Ethernet Assurance probes, it was immediately obvious that this would be a logical fit for Endace's high speed, lossless packet capture solutions.
