CNT CHOOSES VOYENCE FOR NETWORK CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT

CNT Selects VoyenceControl to Automate Network Configuration Management and Enrich Security of Storage Networking Services.

Richardson, TX – June 23, 2004 – Voyence™ Inc., the leading provider of configuration management solutions for networks, today announced that CNT, the global expert in storage networking solutions, has licensed VoyenceControl to support its rapidly growing global Network Management Service (NMS). CNT's Network Management Service provides a secure architecture for proactive remote network monitoring and management of storage networks, including ongoing, expert analysis of storage network quality and availability, vital statistical reports, and proactive network assistance. With this agreement, VoyenceControl will now support CNT’s requirement for a highly scalable and secure network configuration management solution.

"CNT’s Network Management Service is more than a monitoring tool. Where traditional network monitoring services tell you if data is moving through the network, NMS tells you if data is moving through the network, if it is being acknowledged as received, and how long it takes in between. VoyenceControl will support our requirement to consistently manage the configurations and security of our customer solutions with efficiency and reliability,” said Dana Richard, Manager, Global NMS, CNT. "We were impressed with the VoyenceControl design, change and compliance management features as well as its scalability and high availability capabilities.“

"Working with CNT further validates our leadership in the fast-moving Network Configuration Management space and shows that enterprises and Managed Service Providers need more control over what is happening in their networks. This requires a solution that is scalable and flexible enough to support complex, heterogeneous environments," said Susan Nash, president and CEO at Voyence, Inc. "VoyenceControl, with its three-tiered architecture, is scalable enough to support the configuration management needs of CNT’s customers in over 30 countries across the world.”
