Uplogix and Parallel Announce Technology Partnership to Make Satellite Networks Stronger
Uplogix secure remote management and Parallels SatManage network operations center software bring new levels of visibility, control and automation to VSAT deployments for greater uptime and decreased costs
Austin, Texas (April 22, 2009) -; Uplogix, the leading provider of secure remote management (SRM) solutions, today announced the participation of Parallel in its Satellite Technology Partner Program.
The combination of SRM technology from Uplogix deployed at remote sites with SatManage in the network operations center (NOC), gives satellite operators unprecedented visibility into their remote networks. Uplogix appliances deploy remotely to monitor and automate routine administration of both satellite and IP network devices common in today’s hybrid networks. In the event of a network outage, Uplogix connects to the NOC over an out-of-band link, ensuring transfer of device information to SatManage and providing a channel for remote troubleshooting. The co-location of the Uplogix appliances makes it possible to gather richer information more frequently about the deployed devices without increasing the burden on network traffic or the devices themselves.
“Access to the most comprehensive data makes it possible to make earlier predictions, better decisions, and more effective automation,” said James Dell, CEO/Managing Director of Parallel. “Pairing SatManage in the NOC with Uplogix at the network’s edge increases uptime, improves SLAs, and reduces support costs to hybrid networks.”
SatManage integrates with several vendor technologies, and where networks have Uplogix SRM solutions, SatManage takes Uplogix data feeds and uses visual correlation to keep ahead of network problems—highlighting events on the network and allowing at-a-glance analysis of network performance. This can show problems developing over time and even highlight wasted bandwidth and resources. Problems can be spotted in advance, allowing pre-emptive action to be taken onsite by Uplogix to eliminate negative impact on the business.
“The combination of Uplogix secure remote management with SatManage brings additional value to satellite customers, who are often in the most extreme locations with the most challenging architectures,” said Tom Goldman, Uplogix CEO.
