What it does? Device configurations are the DNA of an IP network. Even the smallest configuration errors buried deep in a multilayer IP infrastructure can expose the network to security compliance and availability risks. IP Assure is vendor- and device-neutral software that employs patent-pending algorithms and a large built-in rules knowledge-base to perform automatic non-intrusive analyses of IP routers switches and firewalls. IP Assure enables large organizations and service providers to react quickly to user impacting issues with real-time and near-real-time service management monitoring and corrective actions to help them proactively improve the user experience via identifying potential service management issues as they develop.
What makes it Innovative? IP Assure is customizable software that protects IP networks by non-intrusively analyzing configurations of the entire network and alerting administrators to problems that compromise security regulatory compliance and availability. The comprehensive assessment and multi-level visualizations are supported by patent-pending techniques (9) that process detailed configuration parameters (750) from each device.
IP Assure is a comprehensive multi-vendor multi-device and multi-protocol support through detailed adaptors that parse configuration files into low level configuration objects that represent interface protocol and service configurations. It enables automated assessment of entire configurations against large built-in rule-sets capturing industry best practices regulations and customer policies to proactively eliminate configuration errors. Given that IP network equipment policies and conditions change every day and that configuration errors contribute to more than 60 percent of cyber attacks and downtime large organizations and service providers need fool-proof assurances that their networks are secure compliant and available. IP Assure transforms the costly labor-intensive job of network error detection and remediation into a simple automated process while improving the security regulatory compliance and high availability of enterprise IP networks by:
Proactively assessing networks and protocols in their entirety not just on a per-device basis;
Automatically delivering real-time multi-level multi-protocol (VLAN VPN routing IP subnet) IP network views;
Checking for configuration errors before a device is installed or updated; and
Scaling easily to accommodate the largest most complex most dynamic IP infrastructures.
IP Assure represents an innovative network management breakthrough as it is vendor and device-neutral. By extracting up to 750 parameter values from each IP device and leveraging 9 patent-pending Telcordia algorithms it can perform non-intrusive analysis of all IP routers switches and firewalls. It also mines data from network inventory discovery and monitoring elements to provide a complete understanding of network conditions
Targeted Users: Targeted users for Telcordia's IP Assure include enterprises telecom service providers and government agencies all organizations that critically depend on their IP networks for their on-going operations.
Satisfied Customers: Yes including the US Securities and Exchange Commission
