Ipanema’s unique features for Application-Centric VPNs

Ipanema unique ability to deliver Application-Centric VPN services is based on:

  • All-in-One solution for delivering Application-Centric VPN services
  • Automated network operations based on Autonomic Networking
  • Multi-tenant Central Management Software (CMS)
  • WAN Governance delivery capabilities

 

All-in-One: Ipanema brings intelligence to the network through its four tightly coupled feature-sets, leveraging its Autonomic Networking architecture in a fully coordinated and automated way:

Beyond MPLS
  • Application Visibility, to understand the application traffic and the performance over the global network - from the smallest details up to Application SLAs management and capacity planning;
  • QoS and Control, to enforce the Application SLAs across the global enterprise network, guaranteeing critical application performance in the most complex and changing traffic situations;
  • WAN Optimization, to accelerate applications response times and shorten data transfers;
  • Dynamic WAN Selection to automatically select the best network in multi-networked branch offices.
     

Automated Network Operations: Ipanema's Autonomic Networking System (ANS) dramatically simplifies network and change management. Many changes that would require extensive manual labor or even been impossible with traditional networks are handled automatically. Provisioning and operation workload are reduced by a huge factor compared to legacy policy-based solutions.
