Spirent Communications (News - Alert) plc, a global provider of performance analysis and service management solutions, reportedly has partnered with SL Corporation to use its RTView.

 

Under the partnership, Spirent will seek to improve the reporting functionality within the Spirent Perform operations support system.

 

Offering automated quality of service monitoring and assurance, Spirent Perform is an advanced OSS which helps companies such as Qwest (News - Alert), Embarq, and Sprint/Nextel manage Service Level Agreements. All existing reports have been migrated to RTView and the latest release of Perform, version 2.0, fully incorporates the RTView platform.

 

RTView’s reputation and capabilities exceed standard reporting. They include: support for queries from various sources into one table; customization available for commands, functions, and external interfaces; data collection/storage; DBMS support for retrieving data from sources such as XML streams, Web Services, HTM/Scrape, JMS; alerts available such as SNMP traps and customized alerts/actions; real-time GUI views; and animation capabilities.

 

Clients can now deliver the most effective dashboards, alerts and reports for businesses with the help of RTView’s feature set. Spirent can offer customers a fully supported and extensible visualization solution that meets current and future management needs. Spirent upgraded the standard reporting functionality within Perform to a more comprehensive and customizable visualization offering.

 

“Perform enables Spirent’s customers to more tightly monitor their networks and offer increasingly stricter SLAs, thereby increasing revenues and margins,” said Ted Wilson, vice president of business development for SL. “The comprehensive real-time visibility provided by RTView will further help these customers to identify performance issues more quickly – prior to impacting services – which can lead to significant operational cost savings.”
