Ethernet Devices Provide Fish & Richardson P.C. Enterprise-Wide Application
Visibility
Rockville, Md. (July 6, 2005) —
Visual Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: VNWK), a leading provider of network and
application performance management solutions, today announced that law firm Fish
& Richardson P.C. has deployed Visual Networks’ Visual UpTime® Select™
Ethernet appliances for a modular
solution providing in-depth, real-time and historical information.
Visual UpTime Select Ethernet appliances
enable enterprises to intelligently manage network availability across the
entire enterprise. Fish & Richardson is a national law firm and is one of the
largest firms practicing intellectual property, litigation, and corporate law.
With the Visual UpTime Select Ethernet suite, Enterprises can
benefit from
the same set of rich network and application performance management capabilities
for Local Area Network (LAN)-based applications that the company has
traditionally delivered for applications that traverse the Wide Area Network
(WAN).
“We implemented Visual Networks’ Ethernet appliances to obtain granular,
real-time and historical visibility into application performance at all of our
offices,” said Chuck DeMille, manager of telecommunications and network security
at Fish & Richardson. “The Visual Networks solution enables us to determine the
root cause of network issues by providing both a detailed view of bandwidth
utilization and application performance at all our sites.”
“We have been very pleased with the strong early market adoption of our new
Ethernet appliances, which we introduced in late April,” said Larry Barker,
President and CEO of Visual Networks. “Enterprises that want visibility into application performance on both the WAN and the LAN but do not want to deploy an
array of technologies from multiple vendors can rely on Visual UpTime Select
for their all-in-one application performance management needs.”
