Premonitia is developing the first of a new generation of service-level management solutions for large-scale public IP networks. The solution employs advanced analysis and intelligent self-learning techniques to predict and automatically self-heal network faults that would otherwise lead to degraded performance and downtime. It draws on unique technology developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute during a multi-million dollar DARPA-sponsored research program.
Premonitia's solution will be easy to implement, since it is fully compatible with equipment already installed in IP networks worldwide. Network service providers, including carriers, ISPs, backbone providers, cable operators and CLECs, will use the solution to increase service uptime, while substantially reducing operating costs from fault management and network administration. |
