PARIS, Dec. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Ekinops (Euronext Paris: FR0011466069)
(Euronext: EKI), a leading supplier of optical transport equipment
and enterprise connectivity solutions, and LiveAction, a provider
of expert network performance analysis and management, today
announce the integration of their technologies to provide service
providers with advanced, real-time network performance analytics
and value-added services via a combined routing solution.
The solution pairs Ekinops' field-proven branch routing
solutions with LiveAction's LiveSP program to offer a 360-degree
overview of network and application performance. The integrated
solution allows service providers to create dynamic dashboards and
reports based on application recognition and by measuring network
performance metrics, such as application traffic, COS (Class Of
Service) information, delay and jitter, allows them to support
their enterprise customers' operational teams in managing
performance.
Proximus, a leading Belgian service provider, has successfully
deployed the combined technologies on its MPLS service 'Explore',
helping thousands of enterprises to meet the network infrastructure
needs of their business lines with measurable performance
delivery.
"The combination of these innovative technologies enabled us
to both strengthen and grow our customer relationships. Not only
are we offering a new service, but we've also been able to showcase
the reliability of our connectivity services, all delivered via a
simple end-user interface. Access to these new metrics has been
invaluable," commented Tania
Defraine, Head of Business Management at Proximus.
Tailored to the needs of service providers, LiveAction's LiveSP
collects advanced reporting metrics from network devices and
translates valuable information to end-users, enabling network and
application performance monitoring. Combined with Ekinops' customer
premises equipment (CPE) portfolio and embedded OneOS6 middleware,
routers can easily activate sophisticated built-in services such as
Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) intelligence, firewalls, SD-WAN and
SBC, while also providing related performance metrics.
"With this compelling technology integration, service
provider partners can easily create additional value-added services
for their customers while leveraging existing Ekinops access
infrastructure," comments Damien Defer, SP Sales Director at
LiveAction. "Our collaboration enables us to offer them a
unique opportunity to differentiate, safeguard revenues and elevate
offerings to a more flexible, application-based portfolio."
"Going up market by delivering higher value-added solutions
is at the heart of Ekinops' mission. And increasingly, insights
into network and application performance are critical to this
market," commented Sylvain
Quartier, VP Marketing and Access Product Strategy at
Ekinops. "By pooling our expertise, we've been able to
define a solution that empowers service providers to remain
competitive and tap into new revenues, without huge additional
infrastructure costs."
