Ipanema Technologies, now part of InfoVista, released its new virtual engines portfolio, the vip|e.
The solution embeds the whole set of features of Ipanema’s leading application performance physical devices offering (also known as ip|engines) – including application visibility and control (AVC), WAN optimization, dynamic WAN selection and network rightsizing – on a single, centrally-controllable virtual machine.
By taking steps to virtualize application performance management both in their data centers and at branch offices, enterprises can future-proof their networks to facilitate software-defined networking (SDN). The vip|e solution is ideal for enterprises with wide and complex networks spanning across multiple branch offices, which aim to reduce the number of “boxes” deployed on remote sites. It dramatically cuts transfer time and negates the need for cumbersome hardware installations.
Ipanema’s virtual engine can be easily deployed in countries with custom-clearance issues, and in sites with limited space or constrained environments. vip|e also supports communications service providers’ (CSPs) Point of Presence-based deployments and provides them with a strong step towards network function virtualization (NFV) and SDN. Lastly, vip|e can be deployed in Cloud-Exchange Hub and Internet peering point to improve access to cloud-based applications.
Virtualization is a key priority for both enterprises and CSPs as they seek to reduce hardware operational costs and launch new services more quickly,” said Matthieu Silbermann, Product Management Director, Ipanema solutions, at InfoVista. “Our virtual engine solution allows total control of application performance in a virtual setting and empowers enterprise IT to further prioritize business applications in front of less critical traffic. Since there are no upfront hardware costs, it also offers significant cost-efficiencies.”
