With the growing complexity of enterprise networks, ever more powerful and intuitive solutions are required to keep business critical operations running smoothly.  Geographically-distributed organizations are becoming more and more mobile and are increasingly relying on external cloud services and IP communications technology to supplement internal infrastructures, making network orchestration extraordinarily difficult.  IT administrators are thus on the lookout for application-aware  network performance management and QoS control solutions that can help them mitigate this complexity and reestablish control over their enterprise networks.

Stepping in to meet this need is ActionPacked Networks.  Offering innovative visual solutions for application and network monitoring and performance management, the company looks to provide IT administrators with the insight and control they need to quickly and successfully carry out CCIE-level operations in highly mobile and dynamic environments with ease.

ActionPacked’s application-aware and network performance management solutions provides detailed visualizations of critical network performance metrics, like QoS, NetFlow, VLAN, LAN, WAN, and routing configurations as they exist across a network topology.  Its solutions aim to provide real-time visual insights into traffic composition, how apps are traversing the network, and how well the network is doing its job of delivering applications within desired performance objectives.

The company’s trendsetting visual approach to network management is so unique, in fact, that it recently caught the eye of Enterprise Management Associates (EMA (News - Alert)), which named it an “EMA Vendor to Watch” in September.  This award is reserved for innovative companies that solve previously unaddressed problems in ways that provide substantial value to the customer. The EMA expressed particular interest in the application-aware network performance management (ANPM) capabilities of its LiveAction solution, noting that it does something most ANPM solutions do not.

“Most ANPM solutions are designed to recognize and present performance insights into mixed networks and applications, even including information on QoS classes,” the EMA said. “LiveAction goes further by also providing options for acting upon the actionable intelligence, via features for directly adjusting network policies and configurations within the same platform.”

This honor is just the latest in a string of awards the company has received over the past few years.  ActionPacked Newtworks has been the recipient of a number of Golden Bridge awards for Network Management & Intelligence and Network Visibility, as well as two INTERNET TELEPHONY Product of the Year awards.  Even these are just a portion of the laurels the company has received for its efforts to deliver best-in-class network management tools.

So, be sure to keep a keen eye on ActionPacked as it keeps a diligent eye on your network.
