Recognition of Visual
Networks' New VoIP Lifecycle Management Solution Marks Fifth Consecutive
Year Company's Technology is Recognized by Leading Publication
Rockville, MD (January 4, 2006) Press Release —
Visual Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:
VNWK), a leading provider of network and application performance management
solutions today announced that
Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC®)’s
INTERNET TELEPHONY® magazine (www.itmag.com)
has chosen its new Select VoIP™ software solution as a
recipient of a 2005 Product of the Year Award.
Select VoIP utilizes actual real-time customer
application traffic to assess VoIP readiness and, once VoIP
is deployed, monitors site-to-site traffic to discover the
root cause of VoIP performance problems. Select VoIP, a
complete VoIP lifecycle management solution, is a module of
Visual Networks' flagship Visual UpTime®
Select™ product suite, which provides in-depth,
real-time and historical information that enables
organizations to intelligently manage application and
network performance and availability across the entire
enterprise.
“We are honored that we have received INTERNET
TELEPHONY’s Product of the Year Award for the fifth year in a row,” said
Larry Barker, president and CEO of Visual Networks. “In addition to Select
VoIP, we introduced our VoIP Planner, a synthetic call generation solution
that helps enterprises determine VoIP readiness and manage ongoing VoIP
deployments. The combination of synthetic call data with
Visual UpTime Select’s actual granular network and application
performance visibility helps organizations assess readiness for VoIP and
optimize VoIP deployments.”
“Each year INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine bestows its Product of the Year
awards on companies that have demonstrated excellence in technological
advancement and application refinements. Visual Networks has again
demonstrated to the editors of INTERNET TELEPHONY that its services are
committed to quality and innovation while addressing the real needs in the
marketplace," said Rich Tehrani, Group Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of
INTERNET TELEPHONY.
The Product of the Year Award winners for 2005 will be highlighted in the
January and February 2006 issues of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.
