Voyence Leads Market With Over 300,000 Devices And 1,000 Networks Under Management Worldwide

VoyenceControl Scales to Automate Change and Configuration Management Within World’s Largest and Most Complex Networks

Richardson, Texas, February 28, 2006 - Voyence™, a pioneer in automated change and configuration management solutions, today announced that the company's flagship platform, VoyenceControl now manages over 300,000 network devices and 1,000 networks around the globe. The company's rapidly growing number of managed devices is attributed to VoyenceControl's unique Hybrid Management Architecture(TM), which provides transparent, heterogeneous device configuration and change management. Voyence uniquely addresses critical market drivers, including:

• Best Practices/ITIL – Voyence is the only network configuration solution to address the entire management lifecycle and support best practices such as ITIL.
• Automation – Voyence’s extensive automation capabilities allow customers to avoid manually configuring and managing devices.
• Network Management vs. Manageability – Customers have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in fault management systems, yet still are unable to fix failures -- over 60% of which are caused by misconfigured devices (source – Enterprise Management Associates). Voyence’s tight integrations with BMC, CA, Cisco, EMC|Smarts and HP and other OSS systems “close the loop,” allowing customers to maximize existing investments in other management solutions.
• Compliance – According to a recent study by Securitycompliance.com, 73 percent of companies are realigning organizational structures to better respond to regulatory compliance pressures. Voyence’s compliance templates and reporting features (SOX, HIPAA, etc.) provide IT organizations with the critical tools necessary to ensure and demonstrate the network passes compliance tests.

“Voyence has reached this management milestone by developing technology that is extremely scalable and extensible, and is a perfect fit for today’s enterprise and service provider organizations, including customers such as Sprint, VerizonBusiness, Vanco and Rutgers,” said Darren Orzechowski, Voyence’s VP of Marketing. “We are confident the recent introduction of our next-generation suite, VoyenceControl NG, will continue to address growing customer requirements.”

At 300,000 managed devices and counting, VoyenceControl continues to prove its value in reducing operational expenses and increasing availability and reliability of the network infrastructure.
