Rutgers University Selects Voyence to Enhance Its Network Management Capabilities

Voyence arms the University with a scalable network configuration solution to automate critical network planning, design, deployment and change management processes.

Richardson, TX, January 14, 2004 — Voyence™ Inc., the leading provider of enterprise network configuration management solutions, today announced that Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, has selected VoyenceControl™ to streamline and automate critical network management processes and improve the overall availability and security of the University’s network. VoyenceControl arms Rutgers with a scalable network configuration management solution, which eliminates network configuration errors that cause network downtime and create network security vulnerabilities.

VoyenceControl increases network availability and improves security by validating network device configuration changes and preventing errors from being introduced during the change process. Only VoyenceControl can scale to manage tens of thousands of heterogeneous devices across hundreds of customer networks. With auto-discovery, VoyenceControl arms IT professionals with real-time, topological views of the network, while graphical or tabular views of device configuration information keep them informed at all times.

“We expect VoyenceControl to significantly benefit the University’s IT infrastructure.” said Dr. Michael Mundrane, director, telecommunications at Rutgers. “Voyence will help us improve configuration consistency, automate common network configuration tasks, and reduce outages due to configuration errors, all of which is crucial for large educational institutions such as ours."

To eliminate errors that can occur when deploying configuration changes, VoyenceControl centralizes network configuration information into a structured design workspace. The VoyenceControl workspace, combined with intelligent wizards and templates, allows IT professionals to validate configuration changes before they are deployed and instantly verify a device is operating properly once it goes live.

“Customers like Rutgers, are quickly realizing that network configuration management is key to ensuring network availability and security,” said Susan Nash, CEO, Voyence. “We are delighted that Rutgers has selected Voyence for this crucial role and look forward to our relationship growing over time.”

By centralizing, automating and validating change management processes, VoyenceControl significantly reduces the time, resources and costs associated with managing complex networks.
