Streamcore, the leading global provider of automated application visibility and control for business-critical networks, today introduced StreamSense SP, a multi-tenant service provider platform for provisioning next generation managed services for application performance and monitoring.
As many customers implement bandwidth-reliant IP applications like VoIP and IP video conferencing, they will expect improved network and application performance services from their service provider to immediately resolve network and application performance issues. With this new platform, service providers will benefit from additional revenue streams created by offering application and network monitoring and performance services, now possible without deploying probes at the customer edge.
Via new managed services for controlling applications over the WAN, service providers will ensure their customers of strong application quality of experience (QoE) and enhanced employee productivity.
StreamSense SP centrally provisions and manages value-add services such as:
- Real-time network and application monitoring – Offers real-time visibility features to track network or application performance and quickly troubleshoot any slowdown or user complaint.
- Sophisticated application performance control – Provides advanced QoS controls and automated application control features with alarms and thresholds to guarantee customer application performance.
- Fine-grained and business-level reporting - Tracks essential performance indicators such as response times, number of sessions, and traffic volume analysis per site, per application and per category.
- Customizable web portals – Personalized customer dashboards offering self-configured PDF reporting on real-time performance statistics and troubleshooting tools to track and optimize application performance.
StreamSense SP’s flexibility of deployment allows it to sit anywhere inside or outside the MPLS or IP VPN network, but performs particularly well when deploy centrally at the service provider or customer data center to report on all the downstream branches - without the use of probes. StreamSense SP can also be deployed at the customer’s edge for service providers already providing managed router services. Additionally, the platform thrives at the provider’s edge or POP (without imposing on service providers to deploy probes at the customer premise). The platform controls any of the above configurations from one centralized management console with carrier grade scalability.
New customers integrated onto the StreamSense NG platform can be provisioned on the appliance in 15 minutes or less.
“With Streamcore’s comprehensive approach to application performance management, service providers have a competitive advantage allowing them to offer more differentiated MPLS or IP VPN services,” said Mel Melara, regional vice president of sales for Streamcore. “Enterprises today demand application based SLAs and network monitoring - and with that, Streamcore wants to partner with providers to ensure they take advantage of the revenue opportunities the application and network management market presents via next generation value-add services.”
