Design Validation and Enhanced Visibility Allows Cox to Make More Informed Technical and Financial Decisions in Network Operations
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 22, 2011 — Cariden Technologies, Inc. announced today that Cox Communications, the third largest US cable TV company, has selected Cariden MATE™ as its primary network engineering tool for supporting critical data management functions of day-to-day operations. Cox has chosen Cariden MATE because of its unique ability to support planning, engineering and operational workflows with unmatched visibility into the network.
Cariden MATE is being used to analyze and confirm that existing and proposed network designs can withstand a variety of network component failures without causing any impact to client services. MATE is also being used to provide visibility into the network's MPLS paths and statistics, allowing engineers to understand end-to-end traffic patterns and find unexpected contributors to traffic spikes. Coupled with MATE's ability to report historical traffic patterns across the entire network, this functionality allows clients to make informed technical and financial decisions for infrastructure enhancements. By using MATE, Cox can have confidence that planned upgrades are justified and can be implemented without impact to existing customer services.
Commenting on the announcement, Torryon Coleman, Director of Technical Operations for Cox said, "Our Operations team now has the ability to see, in a very organized manner, all our network interface and LSP statistics in real time. With this information we can isolate and react to problems much quicker than before, as well as be proactive in many circumstances to potential or upcoming problems."
Arman Maghbouleh, President of Cariden said, "Cox is recognized as an innovator and technical leader in delivering IP-based services. Cariden is privileged to work with Cox as they continue to deploy world-class products and services to the marketplace."
