ROCKVILLE, Md., and FAIRFIELD, N.J., Oct. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Visual Networks, Inc.(R) , a leading provider of networked application integrity solutions, today announced an alliance with Telsource Corporation, one of the nation's leading network integrators and managed network care providers. Under the agreement, Telsource will provide the PremGuard(TM) suite of hosted services, based on Visual's UpTime Select(TM), to Visual's value-added resellers and enterprise customers. Visual UpTime Select is a modular network management solution that delivers in-depth, real- time and historical visibility into the performance and availability of critical applications.
Telsource has developed the PremGuard(TM) Vision 20/20 suite based on the range of functionality in Visual UpTime Select, including the solution's newest modules, Select AppSummary(TM) and Select AppFlows(TM). These modules provide enterprise customers with the tools needed to manage application performance across their entire network infrastructure.
The PremGuard Vision 20/20 hosted services are a carrier-independent option for enterprise customers that want the functionality of Visual UpTime Select functionality but prefer to outsource management and ongoing maintenance. For customers with multi-carrier networks, the PremGuard services provide a seamless view across the entire network infrastructure, independent of the carrier delivering the circuit.
"Utilizing our performance management solutions in conjunction with Telsource's expertise in network management is a win-win for enterprise customers looking for a cost-effective option for application performance management," said Larry Barker, President and CEO of Visual Networks. "This alliance lets our VAR partners deliver the full power of Visual UpTime Select by utilizing Telsource's expertise to offer our technology via a hosted service. Introducing the PremGuard Vision 20/20 suite into our VAR channel allows enterprise customers to take full advantage of their hardware purchase and the built-in flexibility of Visual UpTime Select."
"Visual UpTime Select has brought a unique perspective to our enterprise network care strategy and PremGuard managed services portfolio," said Telsource Corporation Vice President of Sales and Marketing Greg Sweeney. "Within a single point in the network, we can see performance information from the application layer down to the physical layer, all within the same tool. Having this type of information at our fingertips allows us to not only be better informed about source of application problems, but also propose timely resolutions to help minimize the negative impacts downtime and degraded performance have on enterprise customers and business productivity."
