SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 2000--SS8 Networks
endorses AdventNet management technology by adopting the AdventNet
Web NMS Management Infrastructure and AdventNet Agent Toolkit
for their signaling and service products. SS8 Networks offers
advanced signaling solutions for the Internet. Its carrier
class products provide reliable, scalable, secure and high-performance
infrastructure for real-time data, IP telephony and video
IP AIN services. AdventNet, The Internet Management Infrastructure
Company (TM), is the leading provider of next generation management
infrastructure software technology on Web and Java platforms.
"AdventNet has the most comprehensive suite of management
products and development support. We were able to enhance
our product offerings to our customers by providing manageability
through the AdventNet Web NMS Management Infrastructure",
said Sharon Chen, the President, Chief Technology Officer,
and Co-founder of SS8 Networks. "Because AdventNet Web
NMS(TM) Management Infrastructure is an open, standards-based,
multi-tier, and massively scalable infrastructure, it suited
our carrier- class product design goals very well. We were
able to deliver our products quickly and easily using the
AdventNet Agent Toolkit,' added Ms. Chen. AdventNet Web NMS
management infrastructure software features most commonly
used management functions, such as network topology modeling,
auto-discovery, event, alarm, and fault management and correlation,
performance management, and tools for configuration management.
AdventNet Web NMS also provides multi-protocols such as SNMP,
CORBA, RMI, and TL-1 that are supported from the network element
and upper managers. Additionally, AdventNet Web NMS supports
recent advances and technologies such as policy management
with LDAP support, distributed management, XML, and SNMP Version
3. Device Vendors, System Integrators, VARs, and in-house
NMS developers can build scalable, full-fledged management
software solutions in a fraction of the time it would take
to develop without AdventNet tools.
AdventNet Agent Toolkit is a Java based visual tool for prototyping
and developing cross platform SNMP agents using the Java Beans
component model. It enables standards based management of
Java applications and servers.
"SS8 Networks and AdventNet share a similar passion
and philosophy to offer standards-based next generation technology
to our customers" said Kumar Padmini, Vice President
of AdventNet Worldwide Marketing. "With a complete suite
of management products, AdventNet created a "one-stop
shop" for SS8 Networks to meet their management infrastructure
needs. It was important for SS8 Networks to deal with a single
management vendor vs. multiple vendors in this competitive
market place and AdventNet was able to fulfill that need effectively",
added Kumar.
