Product Line 

Ipanema’s Autonomic Networking System ANS™ consists of several components that work together in complete harmony as one fully integrated solution:

  • Specialized physical appliances called ip|engines® that are installed at main enterprise sites (data centers, headquarters, etc.) and sometimes in branch offices;
  • Virtualized versions of ip|engines called virtual|engines for use in virtualized environments, including private clouds and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS);
  • Specialized physical appliances called nano|engines® that are installed in branch offices;
  • Emulated appliances called tele|engines® to deliver Ipanema’s benefits in unequipped branch offices;
  • Ipanema Mobile Agents (IMA®), Windows software clients that provide WAN Optimization features to individual roaming users or users within a branch office;
  • Central management software – Scalable Application-Level Service Architecture (SALSA®) - that provides centralized configuration and reporting for the entire system.


Service Providers and Managed Service Providers that deliver services to enterprise customers can deploy a dedicated multi-tenant version of SALSA.
