The challenge

System Integrators (SIs) and equipment suppliers need to provide enterprises and telecom operators with solutions to ensure high availability of networked business applications and to help optimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of networks.

Qosmos solution

Qosmos extracts Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) from networks to enable the development of richer Quality of Service (QoS) measurement and acceleration solutions for both the enterprise and carrier markets. Extracted information includes: throughput, jitter & packet loss, traffic rate & volume, network.

Benefits

For SIs and equipment suppliers

• Focus on core competence by outsourcing advanced protocol and application expertise
• Speed up and optimize a broad range of applications accessed by distributed business users

For enterprises

• Increased productivity thanks to high availability of networked business applications
• Lower cost of ownership thanks to more efficient use of network resources

For end users

• More efficient work processes thanks to high availability of networked business applications
