Streamcore, the leading global provider of automated application visibility and control for business-critical networks, today introduced StreamSense 5.1, a multi-tenant platform for service providers to offer next generation managed services for application performance and monitoring.
With this new platform, service providers will benefit from additional revenue streams created by offering application and network monitoring and performance services now possible without deploying probes at the customer edge.
The StreamSense service enabling platform centrally provisions and manages services such as real-time network and application monitoring, fine-grained and business-level reporting, and application delivery and performance control through advanced QoS controls and automated application control features with alarms and thresholds.
The platform also lets service providers provision customized web portals with personalized dashboards and self-configured PDF reporting, providing both real-time performance statistics and troubleshooting tools. Via the portal, customers may also optimize application performance with application optimization features.
Making StreamSense unique is its flexibility of deployment and ability to sit anywhere inside or outside the MPLS or IP VPN network, ideal for service providers, allowing the appliance to sit in any environment or network configuration. One deployment for StreamSense is to sit centrally at the service provider or customer data center and report on all the downstream branches without the use of probes. In another deployment, StreamSense can be deployed at the customer's edge for service providers already providing managed router services at the customer edge. Additionally, StreamSense can be deployed at the provider's edge or POP (without imposing on service providers to deploy probes at the customer premise). StreamSense controls any of the above configurations from one centralized management console with carrier grade scalability.
New customers integrated to the StreamSense platform will be able to enjoy a full range of WAN application delivery features, which include both visibility and more granular control of classes of service, with centralized provisioning timeframes of 10 minutes or less.
"With Streamcore's holistic approach to application performance management, service providers gain a competitive advantage allowing them to offer more differentiated MPLS or IP VPN services," said Mel Melara, Regional Vice President of Sales for Streamcore. "Enterprises today demand application based SLAs and network monitoring. The StreamSense service enabling platform represents new revenues of next generation services that will drive more revenue per customer."
