"Proactnes II" Network Services Management Solution For VoIP by Fujitsu


Tokyo, October 15, 2007 — Fujitsu Limited today announced the development of Proactnes II, a network services management solution to manage advanced network operations and service quality. This solution will make it possible to visualize and analyze the quality of services over networks as well as smoothly administer large networks, thereby helping network services providers to deliver high-quality services. Proactnes II is scheduled to go on sale in the first quarter of 2008.

Proactnes II will package two complementary solutions: Proactnes II QM, to manage the experiential quality of audio and video made available over the network, and Proactnes II NM, which offers monitoring and management features for administering large networks comprised of hundreds of thousands of nodes.

Proactnes II: Key Features

Proactnes II comprises the two following solutions:

1. "Proactnes II QM": Network quality-management solution Using a server to accurately measure packets over the network, this tool can directly collect and analyze traffic for a given service and detect changes in quality. This makes it possible to visualize and control the experiential quality of sound and video being delivered as network services, and to improve the clarity of sound and video in ways that customers can directly manage. With continuous monitoring, this tool makes it possible to detect quality changes in real time, analyze or detect symptoms of network faults, enabling countermeasures to be taken before customers perceive any deterioration in quality.

2. "Proactnes II NM": Network operation management solution An update to the architecture that debuted in August 2000 under the name Proactnes/SN, this management tool can handle large-scale networks with hundreds of thousands of nodes and provides fault-monitoring, MPLS-VPN(1) control, VLAN(2) control and other management services for everything from core networks to access networks. It is integrated with Proactnes II QM, making it possible to determine the quality status of each service in each region and precisely determine the operational status and impact of a deterioration in quality.

Release Date

Due out in Japan during the first quarter of 2008.

Notes

1 MPLS-VPN (Multi Protocol Label Switching-Virtual Private Network):
