Product Line
Ipanema’s Autonomic Networking System ANS™ consists of several components that work together in complete harmony as one fully integrated solution:
- Specialized physical appliances called ip|engines® that are installed at main enterprise sites (data centers, headquarters, etc.) and sometimes in branch offices;
- Virtualized versions of ip|engines called virtual|engines for use in virtualized environments, including private clouds and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS);
- Specialized physical appliances called nano|engines® that are installed in branch offices;
- Emulated appliances called tele|engines® to deliver Ipanema’s benefits in unequipped branch offices;
- Ipanema Mobile Agents (IMA®), Windows software clients that provide WAN Optimization features to individual roaming users or users within a branch office;
- Central management software – Scalable Application-Level Service Architecture (SALSA®) - that provides centralized configuration and reporting for the entire system.
Service Providers and Managed Service Providers that deliver services to enterprise customers can deploy a dedicated multi-tenant version of SALSA.

ANS features all the required characteristics for a safe deployment on the most critical networks:
Resilient
- ip|engines include a hardware failsafe with fail-open or fail-close options
- Self-healing capabilities ensure service continuity in case of a device failure
Easy to manage
- Devices do not require local configuration
- Self-configured, ANS’ management workload is nearly zero
- Management tasks are performed centrally and apply to the entire system
- Central web GUI provides an intuitive way of managing the system
- Central command-line interface (CLI) to extend management at will
Transparent
- Agnostic to transport technologies (MPLS, Frame Relay, Ethernet, Leased Line, IP-Sec, etc.)
- Fully transparent to the network and the IT infrastructure
- Compatible with MPLS CoS (Classes of Service)
Easy to deploy
- Supports asymmetric routing
- Supports redundant architectures
Secure
- Communications among central software and devices are encrypted
- Data cached on ip|engines are encrypted
Easy to extend
- Centralized and modular approach easily adapts to evolving needs
- Ability to deliver benefits on unequipped sites allows a fast and global reach
