Ipanema Technologies has partnered with Polycom, Inc.
This partnership will enable companies to have full visibility and control of their business critical applications over their networks.
Ipanema Technologies has also demonstrated solution interoperability with Polycom, a leader in open standards-based unified communications and collaboration (UC&C).
Ipanema Technologies delivers automated application visibility, QoS and control, WAN optimization, and dynamic WAN selection. It does all of this over a company’s global network, whatever its size. All of these integrated features collectively contribute to the success of delivering Polycom’s video and voice solutions over the corporate network.
With Ipanema, Polycom’s network utilization can be:
- Visible to the IT department. This means the impact of UC&C data streams can be fully understood by the IT service desk and communicated to business leaders with simple metrics, comprehensive KPIs and easy-to-understand quality scores. This is important for CIOs, Application Directors and IT Directors, helping them to understand how UC&C is performing across the corporate network.
- Controlled effectively so that real-time data inside UC&C (like voice) are prioritized above less-critical applications (like file transfers). Additionally, Ipanema prevents dynamic video codecs from expanding beyond reasonable levels, ensuring that other critical applications (such as SAP or transactional systems) still function to the required SLA at any time.
- Intelligently routed across the appropriate network when deployed with a hybrid Internet + MPLS network. Ipanema ensures an excellent user experience and provides access to the large bandwidth that UC&C requires, all at a reasonable cost.
Ipanema Technologies has satisfied Polycom’s extensive interoperability requirements and has been certified as Polycom-Ready. Polycom-Ready solutions, including end-user devices, network devices, and software applications are tested for interoperability with Polycom products and applications. When customers see solutions bearing the Polycom-Ready badge, they know they’ve been proven to work with the world’s leading open standards-based UC&C platform.
“We are pleased to work with Polycom to provide Application Performance Guarantee solutions. As the importance of unified communications and collaboration continues to grow, companies need assurance that they’ll receive consistently high-quality video and voice. We’re excited that this partnership will fully ensure that UC&C will be delivered smoothly and appropriately over the customer’s network, helping to enhance business success and ensure a consistent user experience,” said Béatrice Piquer-Durand, Vice-President Marketing for Ipanema Technologies.
“Innovators like Ipanema Technologies enhance Polycom’s UC&C solutions by delivering real value and reliable interoperability – and because of that, Ipanema Technologies has earned Polycom-Ready certification,” said Steve Pattison, Vice President of Business Development at Polycom. “Ipanema’s Application Performance Guarantee solution provides real-time data streams that are critical to increasing network efficiency as customers scale their collaboration solutions.”
Along with Ipanema Technologies, Polycom Partner Network members enhance and extend Polycom's open, standards-based video collaboration solutions, and together deliver the most complete UC&C solutions available to Polycom’s diverse and growing customer base. Through the Polycom Partner Network, technology providers, ISVs, solution advisors, integrators, service providers, and other valued partners can easily address the multi-faceted needs of today’s organizations that are using face-to-face video collaboration to improve productivity, engagement, time-to-market, business continuity, as well as for unique applications across various vertical industries.

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
