Technology

Ipanema’s Autonomic Networking System™ (ANS) is a self-learning, self-configuring and self-optimizing architecture with coupled features that together bring a unique level of intelligence to the enterprise network:

  • Application Visibility, providing full understanding of application usage and performance over the global network - from the smallest detail up to high-level KPIs allowing SLA based application performance management and capacity planning;
     
  • QoS & Control, dynamically adjusting network behavior and resources to the exact application traffic demand and network conditions - guaranteeing critical application performance in the most complex and changing traffic situations;
     
  • WAN Optimization, accelerating application response times and offering additional virtual bandwidth to the network;
     
  • Dynamic WAN Selection for multi-networked branch offices, selecting automatically the best network according to actual performance and application traffic characteristics.
     

 

Autonomic Networking technology

ANS consists of the following 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 (datacenters, 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).
  • Emulated appliances called tele|engines or tele-appliances that are automatically delivered remotely by physical ip|engines to provide most of Ipanema’s features in unequipped branches;
  • The Ipanema Mobile Agent (IMA™), a software client for Windows laptops and desktops, which provides WAN Optimization features to individual roaming users or users within a branch;
  • Central management software – Ipanema’s Scalable Application-Level Service Architecture ( SALSA®) – that provides centralized configuration, management and reporting for the entire system.
     

Telcos and Managed Service Providers that deliver services to enterprise customers can deploy a dedicated multi-tenant version of SALSA.
