GLIMMERGLASS INTRODUCES NEW RELEASE OF ITS OPTICAL SWITCH SOFTWARE Adds Enhanced Monitoring Capabilities for Complex Fiber Network
Hayward, CA – May 7, 2008 – Glimmerglass, leading provider of Intelligent Optical Switches, today announced Release 5 of its system software with enhancements to its connection monitoring and event reporting capability for complex fiber networks. With the software, network operators can define and set optical thresholds unique to the management of their networks. Now network managers can monitor performance “at-a-glance,” as well as monitoring and logging individual connections. This increased visibility enables network managers to identify and isolate problems in their networks ensuring a more rapid response and reducing operational costs. A network administrator in London, for example, responding to a network failure in Mumbai, can immediately rule out the switch as the cause and determine if the problem is upstream or downstream. The release also incorporates new capabilities for port and connection configuration. The ability to assign connection names and port-specific comments complements enhanced monitoring to tailor reporting to individual environments. In addition, Release 5 makes all of this information visible to users of the Glimmerglass Console multi-switch management software. “Once again, feedback from our broad customer base has resulted in significant improvements in the operational effectiveness of this exciting optical switching technology,” said Robert Lundy, CEO of Glimmerglass. “This release is already showing its value in both telecom and government networks.” ###
