GL conveys the availability of its OC-3 STM-1 and OC-12 STM-4 ATM Protocol Analyzer


Gaithersburg, Maryland (PRWEB) April 10, 2012

GL Communications Inc. a leader in providing PC-based test, analysis and simulation products and consulting services to the worldwide telecommunications industry, conveyed today the availability of its product OC-3 STM-1 and OC-12 STM-4 ATM Protocol Analyzer software.

Speaking to media persons, Mr. Vijay Kulkarni CEO of the company said, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a flexible network, which carries voice, video, and data in the same way, i.e. fixed length cells.

He added, ATM network basically has two kinds of interfaces i.e. UNI (Interface between ATM User and Public ATM switch) and NNI (Interface between two Public ATM switches). Similar to the OSI Protocol model, ATM protocol architecture has an ATM Layer as Layer 2, ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL) as Layer 3, and other higher layers depending on C-Plane, U-Plane or Layer Management Plane. User information is transferred across U-Plane and Signaling messages are transferred across C-Plane. ATM-UNI signaling is used to create and release SVCs along with a particular QoS attached to it depending bandwidth on demand.

Mr.Kulkarni further added, GL’s OC-3 STM-1 OC-12 STM-4 ATM Protocol Analyzer is used to analyze and decode different ATM protocols like ATM, AAL2 Protocols (CPS-SDU, SSSAR-SDU, and SSCS), AAL5 (CPCS), UNI and others across U plane and C plane of UNI and NNI interface.

VKernel Takes VMware vCenter Beyond Simple Monitoring with New Performance Analyzer

Andover, Massachusetts (Vocus/PRWEB) March 15, 2011

VKernel, the award winning provider of enterprise class capacity and performance management products for virtualized data centers and the cloud, announced today general availability of the new VKernel Performance Analyzer. Tapping into experience with over 600 global customers, VKernel Performance Analyzer is designed to monitor, diagnose, and resolve performance issues in virtual environments. Performance Analyzer complements the existing monitoring capabilities in VMware vCenter with real time analysis of system metrics and alerts to determine both abnormal trends and root cause, impact, and resolution of VMware performance issues. Performance Analyzer 1.0 ships as a new product in the award winning VKernel Capacity Management Suite, which is being renamed to reflect these new broader capabilities as the VKernel vOperations Suite or vOPS 3.0.

New Performance Analyzer

As more and more business critical applications migrate to virtual infrastructures, the need to maintain confidence in the performance of these applications only intensifies. Failure to sustain VMware performance results in VM deployment stall, downtime and availability issues. Unfortunately, monitoring, diagnosing, and resolving VMware performance issues is extremely complex due to the shared nature of resources. The complexity in resolving issues is amplified by the overabundance of metrics, alarms and alerts that overwhelm a virtualization administrator with information.

Solving this problem requires three steps: monitoring, diagnosis and resolution. Most monitoring systems only repackage performance data, recreating capabilities available in VMware vCenter. They also lack the analytic capabilities to offer issue diagnosis or resolution steps. Other monitoring systems that use general mathematical modeling to discern issue root causes lack virtualization domain knowledge and while sometimes identifies where a problem lies, cannot offer specific remediation steps.

VKernel Performance Analyzer is designed to complement the existing monitoring capabilities in VMware vCenter to provide both the diagnosis and resolution of VMware performance problems. Performance Analyzer uses real time analysis of system alerts and metrics to determine both abnormal trends and root cause, impact and resolution of current VMware performance issues. Performance Analyzer combines trend, sequencing and relationship/connectivity analyses with decision algorithms that build in deep domain-specific knowledge to produce actual problem resolutions for virtualization administrators. Performance Analyzer accomplishes this, however, with a simple to download, easy to use application that provides value to system administrators within an hour of installation.

VKernel Performance Analyzer is designed to meet the demands of the following use cases:
