Unified Network and Application Performance Management Platform Helps Cyprus Operator with Service-Level Reporting, Proactive Troubleshooting and Capacity Planning
PARIS, France and HERNDON, Virginia—September 10, 2013—Infovista, the global leader of IP and RF planning, service assurance and optimization software solutions, today announced that it has helped Cyta, the leading communications service provider (CSP) in Cyprus, improve its IP and Carrier Ethernet performance management capabilities. Infovista’s unified platform for network and application performance management helps the operator ensure the delivery of premium, high-value Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN services in compliance with service level agreements (SLAs).
Through multiple product expansions to accommodate new technologies and services, as well as extensive customer growth, VistaInsight for Networks has remained an important tool for Cyta. Infovista’s proactive network performance management solution enables the operator to deliver sophisticated service-level reporting tailored to customers’ exact needs, monitor both present and future resource usage, and enable early warnings on potential performance degradation.
Subsequently, Cyta is able to improve the overall customer experience, thereby preventing churn, increasing revenue with high-value customers and growing its business. Plus, by enabling capacity monitoring and planning capabilities, VistaInsight for Networks equips Cyta with the actionable intelligence needed to make just-in-time network investments and control CAPEX, while ensuring that quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) are never impacted.
More recently, Cyta has expanded its troubleshooting capabilities with 5View NetFlow and 5View Service Data Manager (SDM). With these Infovista solutions, the CSP’s network engineering and operations teams have unparalleled visibility into application performance; they can efficiently monitor detailed flow metrics and analyze service usage data to better understand how applications are transported over the network, proactively address performance issues and reduce the potential for costly outages.
