Visual Networks To Offer Frame Relay Monitoring
Visual Networks Inc. this week will begin offering asoftware and hardware package that lets network managers
monitor high-speed frame relay pipes to determine if their
carriers are meeting service-level agreements.
Visual UpTime 5.2 will let businesses manage multiple T1
lines, up to 45 Mbps, from a central console. It provides a
real-time view of pipe performance parameters covered by
service-level agreements, including number of packets
received and line availability.
Frame relay carriers typically reimburse customers for unmet
service-level agreements. With version 5.2's Service Advisor
application, Visual UpTime will monitor performance as it
occurs, replacing monthly reports. A device that sits
between routers and frame relay pipes makes management of
multiple T1 lines possible.
Visual UpTime 5.2, set to ship Jan. 31, starts at $12,000
for new customers, plus $19,995 for the hardware device.
Existing Visual Network customers with maintenance contracts
will get the software for free.
