Optanix and IP Trade, a Cisco Developer Network partner offering collaboration applications for mission-critical communications, announced the availability of a secure, intelligent service management solution that proactively addresses system monitoring and performance while reducing response times and minimizing downtime.
The solution was created with critical sectors in mind, including energy, financial services, manufacturing, public safety, and transportation.
The Optanix solution automates root cause analysis, identifying and resolving problems before they impact end-users. The partnership between Optanix and IP Trade provides global organizations with innovative service management solutions to help them optimize availability and performance of vital communications systems while creating strong competitive differentiation.
“When Optanix began discussing the partnership opportunity with IP Trade, there were key attributes we knew we had to consider. First, it was a priority to partner with a company that had the same goal of delivering a superior solution to their customers,” said Robert Freeborn, VP of Managed Solutions at Optanix. “Second, we were interested in working with companies that deliver mission critical solutions to the market. Now, with our partnership, financial trading firms and operations control centers that depend on IP Trade for communications have an advanced monitoring and service management solution to optimize availability and performance.”
“The cost of downtime for our customers has the potential to be catastrophic so we are always looking for ways to decrease risk,” said Chris Corridon, Managing Director of IP Trade. “By pairing Optanix’s intelligent service management capabilities with our platform, customers not only reduce risk of downtime, but also streamline the support process and increase system performance.”
The solution will be offered directly through Optanix and IP Trade, as well as their business partners. Unique benefits of the service management solution include:
- Automated, Proactive Management: An automated approach to service availability management delivering proactive insights that enables companies to quickly resolve potential service issues before they have a significant impact on business.
- Highly Secure: Designed to conform to customer data security policies, all data is analyzed and processed within the customer's network where it remains protected and the risk of data breach is minimized.
- Intelligent Support: Incidents are automatically routed to the most qualified technical support engineers to optimize mean time to respond and resolve

Traditional monitoring often stops at uptime and server health without any integrated insights. Cross-platform observability covers not just infrastructure telemetry but also client-side behavior, distributed service interactions, and the contextual data that connects them. Emerging technologies like OpenTelemetry, eBPF, and AI-driven anomaly detection have made this vision more achievable, but only if organizations ground their observability strategy in well-defined pillars. Here are the five foundational pillars of cross-platform observability that modern engineering teams should focus on for seamless platform performance ...

Kubernetes has become the backbone of cloud infrastructure, but it's also one of its biggest cost drivers. Recent research shows that 98% of senior IT leaders say Kubernetes now drives cloud spend, yet 91% still can't optimize it effectively. After years of adoption, most organizations have moved past discovery. They know container sprawl, idle resources and reactive scaling inflate costs. What they don't know is how to fix it ...
Artificial intelligence is no longer a future investment. It's already embedded in how we work — whether through copilots in productivity apps, real-time transcription tools in meetings, or machine learning models fueling analytics and personalization. But while enterprise adoption accelerates, there's one critical area many leaders have yet to examine: Can your network actually support AI at the speed your users expect? ...
The more technology businesses invest in, the more potential attack surfaces they have that can be exploited. Without the right continuity plans in place, the disruptions caused by these attacks can bring operations to a standstill and cause irreparable damage to an organization.
