By providing richer application performance analytics
and easier configuration of dynamic path selection, Ip-
anema 9.1 simplifies enterprise SD-WAN implementations,
said the company.
In the fourth quarter of 2016, InfoVista shipped the larg-
est 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 enter-
prise sites around the world.
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 ap-
plication profiles, allowing enterprises
to better define application policies
with fewer clicks. Furthermore, with
enhanced virtualization support, Ip-
anema 9.1 now supports virtual appli-
ances for KVM in addition to VMware.
“Application aware SD-WAN solu-
tions that maximize the user experi-
ence while providing easy-to-use man-
agement tools will allow enterprises
to realize the full business value of
hybrid WAN architectures,” said Zeus
Kerravala, founder and principal ana-
lyst with ZK Research.
Nitel to Debut
SD-WAN, SD-Security
Nitel is now offering SD-WAN
and SD-Security services to channel
partners and corporations nationwide
through an alliance with Versa Net-
works. Built for mid-market to large
enterprises, Nitel’s SD offerings will pro-
vide customers with application centric
management, greater network reliability
and optimized performance over Nitel’s
global, managed, public and private
WAN services, said the company.
Through its accompanying web
portal, Nitel will deliver on-demand
access to built-in analytics, applica-
tion-driven routing and network man-
agement. Additional benefits and key
differentiators within Nitel’s new SD-
Security services include integrated
next-generation firewall (NGFW) and
unified threat management (UTM).
“The increasing use of cloud and SaaS has made the
WAN, not the LAN, the defining measure of a network’s per-
formance and the customer experience,” said Rick Stern,
CEO, Nitel. “By simplifying last mile access and connectivity,
SD-WAN has created a disruptive market opportunity and
competitive advantage for Nitel and our channel partners that
ultimately benefits businesses and consumers everywhere.”
Nitel’s new SD-WAN services include advanced design
and installation support. Nitel is conducting a beta trial and
expects a wide-scale launch in April 2017. To encourage
channel partners to learn more about SD-WAN, Nitel is of-
fering access to no-cost, on-demand and live training. Field
sales and engineering support are also available.
