Ipanema Technologies launched a new Cloud Application Management (CAM) solution.

The CAM solution helps companies manage applications flowing across networks to and from the cloud. With CAM, enterprises can easily understand and control their business application usage and performance from public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud, protecting vital network resources from being consumed by recreational apps such as YouTube and Facebook.

Ipanema’s CAM solution delivers two levels of powerful reporting to ensure companies can understand what’s happening across their corporate network and guarantee application performance:

- Time evolution reports offer a technical picture of the usage of cloud applications at a certain site over a period of time

- Overview reports deliver higher-level information such as insight on the sites at which application performance is worst and the average number of users accessing each application

Ipanema’s CAM solution is complimented by its Dynamic Hybrid Network solution, which allows enterprises to combine both traditional MPLS networks with Internet networks. The Dynamic Hybrid Network solution simultaneously and automatically monitors, controls, accelerates and selects the most appropriate path for an application traffic flow, across two or more networks.

Traditionally companies have struggled to guarantee the performance of applications hosted outside the organization itself. Ipanema’s CAM solution enables companies to have transparency into these previously obscured applications, allowing businesses to take charge of various components and prioritize what matters. For the first time, companies can review reports that give insight not just into their own environment, but also into applications that operate via the cloud.

David White, President of North America for Ipanema Technologies comments: “Accessing applications from the cloud simplifies a company’s IT but drastically increases the complexity of the demands placed upon its network. Applications compete for often scarce network resource and traditional methods for ensuring efficient performance are rendered ineffective as hardware cannot always be placed in cloud data centers and much is beyond the company’s control.”

“Ultimately,” concludes White, “the CAM solution enables companies to provide Quality of Service to their users, even though applications are operating outside the core network. It’s empowering organizations to deliver business critical applications whether managed in-house or elsewhere.”
