Shenick 10Gigabit Test System Selected by Sandvine

Shenick's diversifEye is used to test performance of Sandvines 10-Gbps policy solutions.

Dublin, Ireland - April 21, 2008 - Shenick Network Systems announced that its award-winning diversifEye10Gâ„¢, has been selected by Sandvine, a leading provider of intelligent broadband network solutions, to test performance of its 10-Gbps policy solutions platform for DSL, cable, wireless and emerging service providers.

With diversifEye10G, Shenick provides Sandvine with the degree of granularity required to test overall performance and quality of service (QoS) control for its intelligent broadband network solutions. The ability to drill down to each application flow (P2P, video, VoD, VoIP, Web browsing) is critical for traffic management and guaranteeing subscriber quality of experience (QoE). Shenick provides an excellent fit for Sandvine because its test system can accurately emulate and analyze each and every flow.

Sandvine solutions allow carriers to reach new levels of IP service control when delivering QoS for multimedia applications such as video and VoIP. Delay-sensitive applications such as VoIP compete with bandwidth-intensive applications such as peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing to impact subscriber experience. Sandvine provides highly granular and real-time visibility into services and performance, right down to individual application flows to ensure high quality delivery of all applications.

Brad Siim, Chief Operating Officer and Vice President, Engineering for Sandvine said, “Sandvine’s products are relied upon to provide per flow QoS control for the optimal user Internet experience. Utilizing the per-flow test capabilities and high performance of diversifEye10G, we are able to ensure we deliver this high level of service to our customers.�

Robert Winters, Shenick CMO said, “Sandvine gives value to the market by concurrently managing a huge array of network traffic applications at the most granular level possible. Shenick provides Sandvine with a high performance, per-flow test system that aligns perfectly with their policy management needs.�

Shenick’s diversifEye10G is a completely integrated high performance 10Gbps test system that provides both network operators and communications equipment manufacturers with the ability to create and test the most realistic converged IP application usage scenarios covering quality of service, functional verification, high load and key performance limitations, and individual subscriber experience on a per-flow basis.
