MIL 3 Enhances IT DecisionGuru With QOS Analysis For Vice And Multimedia Over ATM, Frame Relay And IP
Breakthrough Expected to Accelerate Deployment of Internet Telephony, Videoconferencing and Other Interactive, Real-time ApplicationsWASHINGTON, DC -- May 17, 1999 -- MIL 3, Inc., a leading developer of decision-support software for networked communications systems, is now shipping an enhanced model library with IT DecisionGuru 6.0, making it the first commercial software to verify network quality-of-service (QoS) capabilities for IT professionals deploying voice and multimedia applications on ATM, Frame Relay and IP infrastructures.
Telephony, videoconferencing and many interactive, real-time applications require sophisticated networking platforms. IT DecisionGuru projects the real-world performance of proposed network designs to quickly assess their ability to support QoS specifications, such as ATM ABR (available bit rate), IP ToS (type of service) and WFQ (weighted fair queuing), required to carry time-sensitive packet transmissions.
"It is very time consuming and costly to deploy networked applications through trial and error, and it exposes organizations to potentially crippling network outages," said Marc Cohen, chief executive officer of MIL 3. "IT DecisionGuru validates proposed network designs automatically using software-based simulations that don't impact the production IT environment. This enables companies to greatly accelerate application deployment as well as retrofit existing networks for converged data and voice communications."
New Modeling Techniques Improve Scalability, Ease of Use
With network complexity and scale increasing exponentially, MIL 3 has also improved IT DecisionGuru's capacity to simulate extremely large environments quickly. New aggregation capabilities enable IT managers to combine a collection of networking devices into a single object for faster, easier model creation as well as greatly streamline the modeling of WAN services, such as ATM and Frame Relay, provided by outside carriers.
