Application performance management is brought to you through our A³ family of services. A³ (Application Awareness and Assurance) is a ground-breaking cloud-based service which gives users the power to view, manage and control the bandwidth traffic on their network at a business-application level using an intuitive self-service portal.
Following a major investment to upgrade our core NGN infrastructure, we can now offer our clients granular VISIBILITY and CONTROL of the application-level traffic running across both their WAN and their Internet, something that has never before been possible. This functionality makes A³ a powerful tool for companies wanting to comply with the UK’s new Digital Economy legislation.
What’s more, as a cloud-based service there are no costly on-site appliances to install This saves you Capex and makes A³ more affordable and infinitely more scalable than its appliance-based
How is A³ different from other solutions?
Architecture: The key difference is our radical approach to the deployment of A³. Unlike any other vendor, we have an “appliance free” solution with no requirement for specific CPE equipment. This negates the need for complex solution design, costly hardware and software deployment, and significant maintenance and management expenditure.
Granular Management: With A³, not only can you reap the benefits of application identification and granular reporting, which other services provide, but you can also manage the prioritisation and performance of individual applications allowing you to secure per-application SLAs and enhance the “user experience”.
Cost: A³ is delivered to you from our cloud. We are taking a traditionally expensive, niche, value-add service and offering it to the whole market-place at an incredible price point. This makes A³ affordable for smaller businesses who previously found such service out of their price range. CPE-based approaches are not scalable (downwards) and because of cost can only be attractive to the very high-end enterprise sector.
Deployment model: Our deployment model allows us to deliver A³ as a “self-service” or “managed service” offering at a fraction of the price, effort and complexity of what exists today. Uniquely A³ is not just available over Corporate WAN solutions but also over single site Business Internet solutions.
