Ixia, a provider of converged IP and wireless network test solutions, has
completed the acquisition of Anue Systems, a developer of network visibility
solutions.
“This strategic move extends Ixia’s leadership in
validating next-generation networks and applications running over wireless
access infrastructure, cloud environments, and converged data centers,”
said Vic Alston, Ixia’s president and chief executive officer.
“Anue’s solutions provide visibility into network
traffic in real-time, enabling network operators and enterprises to quickly and
effectively allocate resources for new services, new users, and new traffic
patterns. This insight into network performance, scale, and resiliency allows
network operators to ensure a higher quality of experience across their
production networks,” Alston added.
Ixia claims that Anue’s Net Tool Optimizer solution connects
data center and cloud environments to network analysis tools, allowing network
engineers to aggregate traffic from multiple network elements and optimally
filter the traffic monitored by each analysis tool.
Leveraging Anue Net Tool Optimizer solution, IT resources
can be maximized, network troubleshooting is streamlined, and network
monitoring capacity is expanded. Anue’s technology platform, coupled with
Ixia’s strong market position, will create significant opportunity for Ixia to
lead in the rapidly growing network visibility market.
As applications increasingly run in large data centers and
across mobile networks, service providers and large enterprises need better
visibility into application performance.
Network visibility is becoming an essential component of any
network architecture design. It allows network managers to maximize the use of
monitoring and analysis tools, and gives them otherwise unavailable visibility
into how applications are performing.
