DALLAS, June 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- BT today
announced the launch of "BT Connect Intelligence
InfoVista-as-a-Service", a new application performance management
solution delivered from the cloud.
The new solution adds a scalable "as-a-service" flexible pricing
model to BT's applications performance management portfolio, BT
Connect Intelligence. It delivers InfoVista's Ipanema
technology via BT's cloud infrastructure, integrating all the
capabilities organisations need to orchestrate the performance of
business applications running across their network.
BT Connect Intelligence InfoVista-as-a-Service gives enterprises
greater flexibility and cost control as they manage the experience
of users accessing business-critical applications across the
corporate network, regardless of how they connect and how much
bandwidth they use. It also gives enterprises a more
predictable view of costs as its user-based pricing is not affected
by the growth of network bandwidth.
BT Connect Intelligence InfoVista-as-a-Service is designed to
help organisations on their digital transformation journey as they
increasingly rely on dynamic network services. It is a simple
and proven way for them to deliver the flexibility and cost
benefits of a software-defined network (SDN) using their existing
network infrastructure.
The new solution is available globally to both BT's existing
network customers and organisations using other network
providers.
The software underpinning the solution is delivered from BT's
cloud infrastructure and its management is now possible over the
internet. This allows customers to benefit from fast
implementation, self-service and availability over any wide area
network (WAN) infrastructure. Customers also benefit from Ipanema's
application visibility and control, WAN optimization and dynamic
path selection functions.
Keith Langridge, vice president
network services, Global Services, BT, said: "BT is the first
in the industry to launch this innovative variant of the proven
InfoVista-based application performance management technology.
We are providing our customers with even more choice and
flexibility as they embark on their digital transformation
journeys."
Louise Maitland, vice president,
global channel for BT, InfoVista, said: "Enterprises are rapidly
adopting hybrid networks to cope with ever increasing bandwidth
demands as they transform into digital businesses. BT's
innovative, user-based pricing allows customers to purchase
InfoVista's Ipanema solution in a true SaaS subscription model
independent of bandwidth, giving enterprises the flexibility they
need to launch new applications and services when they need
it."
