Accordion Shortens Product Development Cycle and Time-to-Market
By Choosing AdventNet Internet Management Infrastructure Solution
AdventNet, Inc., the Internet Management Infrastructure Company
announced today that Accordion
Networks, Inc. has chosen its flagship product AdventNet
Web NMS as the management infrastructure to provide manageability
for its product suite. Accordion builds highly innovative
and scalable next generation access solutions for Integrated
Communications Providers (ICPs) worldwide.
"AdventNet was the only vendor that provided Accordion
with a quick-to-deploy management software for our solution
that is a competitive differentiator in the telecom environment"
said Rajan Aiyer, Vice President, Marketing. "As
a start-up company, we were looking for a cost-effective management
infrastructure that could be adopted in our products quickly
and easily. At the same time, we also wanted our ICP
customers to be able to deploy the management features in
our products easily and quickly in their environment",
added Rajan.
The AdventNet Web NMS management infrastructure has positioned
AdventNet as an undisputed leader to provide Web-based
network management software. AdventNet Web NMS has become
the de facto management infrastructure of choice by developers
in small, start-up, enterprise, and telecom organizations
where network management expertise is not a core competency.
AdventNet WebNMS is a modular Java based infrastructure for
quickly building custom element management (EMS) and network
management (NMS) systems for devices that support SNMP, Web
or CORBA interfaces. Modules available include auto-discovery,
network maps, event logging, MIB browser, SNMP/CORBA data
collection and thresholds, HTML reports, RDBMS integration
and event correlation. Both the client and server are fully
configurable and run on several platforms. It lets Device
Vendors, Systems Integrators, VARs and in-house NMS developers
build scalable, full-fledged network management software in
a fraction of the time it would take to develop without these
tools.
"Accordion was precise in setting their product design
requirements", said Neil Butani, Vice President of Business
Development at AdventNet. He also added, "We are
very pleased that the open, scalable, standards-based features
offered by AdventNet Web NMS satisfied both the Accordion
developer and customer requirements. I am also equally
pleased that both parties were able to adopt the AdvnetNet
technology in almost real time and very easily".
