InfoVista has updated its application-aware SD-WAN solution, with the release of Ipanema 9.1.
By providing richer application performance analytics and easier configuration of dynamic path selection, Ipanema 9.1 simplifies enterprise SD-WAN implementations.
In the fourth quarter of 2016, InfoVista shipped the largest number of Ipanema appliances in its history for a single quarter, and in the second half of the year, 50 percent of new customers used the solution to deploy SD-WANs. The Ipanema solution now supports an estimated 300,000 enterprise sites around the world.
In 2017, InfoVista expects to continue Ipanema’s growth through new deployments, partner agreements and product enhancements which will build on the release of Ipanema 9.1. With improved visualization, the software release provides granular application-aware SD-WAN analytics with visibility into application performance and trended user experience. The feature is supported by statistics, filtering options and real-time plotting.
The update also introduces a single screen for configuring global dynamic path selection rules for application profiles, boosting ease-of-use and allowing enterprises to better define application policies with fewer clicks. Furthermore, with enhanced virtualization support, Ipanema 9.1 now supports virtual appliances for KVM in addition to VMware, providing added flexibility for InfoVista partners and customers.
“Hybrid WAN is becoming the new norm for businesses in the Applications Era,” said Zeus Kerravala, founder and principal analyst with ZK Research. “Enterprises undergoing digital transformations require unparalleled visibility and control of their applications to fully leverage these hybrid networks. Application aware SD-WAN solutions that maximize the user experience while providing easy-to-use management tools will allow enterprises to realize the full business value of hybrid WAN architectures.”
