Voyence Announces Availability Of VoyenceControl VPN Service Manager

Global MSP to use VoyenceControl to provision Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and manage more than 250,000 devices for its clients.

Richardson, TX, October 5, 2004 — Voyence™ Inc., the leading provider of network configuration management solutions, today announced that it has delivered the VoyenceControl VPN Service Manager to a Global MSP based in the U.S. The Managed Network Service Provider will use VoyenceControl to activate and provision Internet Protocol (IP) Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and to manage more than 250,000 devices across a wide range of client networks. Voyence customer experiences at large enterprises and MSPs indicate that Managed Service Providers using VoyenceControl have reduced the time it takes to provision VPN Services by up to 80%.

“IT professionals are looking for network configuration management vendors to help them collectively manage network device and service configurations through an integrated solution," stated Stephen Elliott, senior analyst, IDC. “In order to manage both devices and services, the vendor’s solution must understand how devices work together to deliver network services such as VPNs, VoIP, QoS, etc. across the enterprise.”

VoyenceControl is the only network configuration management solution that provides IT professionals with an abstraction layer of the network that is capable of understanding how devices work together to offer network services such as VPNs, VoIP, etc. The VoyenceControl VPN Service Manager leverages business rules to automate end-to-end service activation and provisioning along with change management and configuration management of network devices.

“The fact that Voyence customers are implementing our new VPN Service Management capabilities further validates that network configuration management solutions must move beyond devices and provide IT professionals with the ability to manage the entire network ecosystem,” stated Susan Nash, CEO of Voyence. “The addition of service management to our platform further demonstrates our thought leadership in this space and our commitment to customers that we will deliver the functionality they need to gain greater visibility and control over the network.”

In June of 2004, Voyence unveiled its strategy for helping customers realize the vision of a truly adaptive and on-demand IT infrastructure to deliver advanced network services. The VPN Service Manager is the first of many network services that VoyenceControl will be able to deliver in the months to come. In 2005, Voyence will continue extending VoyenceControl to enable the efficient and reliable provisioning of IT services that rely on LAN or WAN resources including VoIP, VLAN, QoS, etc.
