Ipanema Technologies Launches Operations in China To Support Growing Demand for Network Optimization Solutions

Posted on: Tuesday, 31 July 2007, 09:07 CDT

Ipanema Technologies, the leader in application traffic management systems for wide-area networks (WANs), today announced the launch of its China operations to support growing demand for network optimization solutions.

Ipanema develops and sells business network optimization solutions that automatically manage and maximize network application performance according to business critical needs. Its solutions are ideal for organizations deploying VoIP, ERP applications and other network-sensitive applications, as well as initiating ITIL (IT infrastructure library) projects. Network integrators market the Ipanema System to enterprises, while telecom service providers and network managed service providers offer it as a service. Ipanema manages more than 30,000 sites in 75 countries.

Houda Chabir, vice president North America, said, "The paradox we are facing is that application infrastructure is becoming more and more centralized to cope with regulation and cost efficiency. On the other hand, application end users are becoming more global and mobile-- far away from the data centers and headquarters. Our goal is to enable our customers and partners to deliver consistent application performance across the world, and allow them to go global by guaranteeing the performance of their critical applications no matter where their end users are. Our presence in Asia Pacific is the continuity of our commitment to guarantee a high-quality end-user experience for better productivity."

According to Xavier Charbonneau, vice president of Business Development for Asia Pacific operations (APAC), "In line with our indirect sales strategy, I am pleased to be working in China with Ipanema's global partners: Vanco, BT/Infonet, Orange Business Services, and T-Systems. At the same time, we are developing strong partnerships with key players in the local market. We also see a strong growth opportunity with Asia Pacific telecoms as they become more aware of the decreasing bandwidth prices that necessitate being close to customer applications to sustain profitability. It is essential to answer the demands of multinational companies with regard to controlling their application flows across networks."

Ipanema's solution provides benefits in three areas:

Visibility of application flows: making application flows visible over networks enables precise and comprehensive application performance monitoring and reporting;

Guarantee of performance for critical applications: multiple integrated technologies, such as dynamic bandwidth allocation, smart packet forwarding, compression and TCP acceleration optimize network resources to meet application performance objectives;

Acceleration: with dynamic bandwidth allocation tightly coupled with acceleration mechanisms (TCP, cache-based accelerations), Ipanema guarantees the response times of critical applications and a good quality end-user experience.

Ipanema's customer community includes many large international accounts, such as L'Oreal, TNT, Cap Gemini, Henkel, Leroy Merlin, Sodiaal, Altadis, Sephora, Bongrain, Michael Page, NH Hoteles, SGS, Nespresso and Clariant.

Major telecoms (BT, Infonet, OBS, Vanco) as well main integrators (T-Systems, Telindus, NextiraOne, Spiecom, Overlap, E-Qual, Sunrise, SITA, Bull) have developed application-based managed services on Ipanema's solutions and are now selling them across the world.

Ipanema's Chinese headquarters are located at: Room 102, NO. 16 Lane 221, Yanmin Road, Pu Dong District, Pu Dong, Shanghai, China, 200125. Ipanema may be reached in China at +86 21 5039 3962 or at info@ipanematech.com.
