Business Editors
KANATA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 13, 1999--CROSSKEYS (NASDAQ:CKEY) (TSE:CKY.) CrossKeys Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: CKEY; TSE: CKY), a leading supplier of software for telecommunication service providers, will demonstrate CrossKeys Resolve Ni, the newest addition to the CrossKeys Resolve software portfolio, at the TeleManagement Forum in Hamburg, Germany from April 13 to 15, 1999. The network-facing CrossKeys Resolve Ni compliments the customer-facing CrossKeys Resolve Si in the industry leading network performance management software portfolio.
CrossKeys Resolve Ni provides network operators, planners and engineers the ability to transform vast amounts of network data into network intelligence. CrossKeys will demonstrate how service providers can use CrossKeys Resolve Ni to understand overall network performance using "at-a-glance" reports that encompass all technology types. By comparing present day data with day before and previous month data, CrossKeys Resolve Ni quickly identifies adverse performance trends and potential trouble spots.
Using drill-through functionality, CrossKeys Resolve Ni allows service providers to further investigate trends identified in "at-a-glance" network overview reports. This allows service providers to pinpoint performance bottlenecks, looking at all aspects of a network, (sub-networks, links, nodes and cards), to quickly locate and identify performance problems.
With detailed multi-dimensional reporting techniques, CrossKeys Resolve Ni provides network planners and engineers the historic performance analysis that can help them identify long-term trends and effectively engineer networks for future growth.
As the definition of the "network" is changing -- the demand for network intelligence software has never been greater. Networks are being engineered to manage themselves, leaving operators to only be able to set performance parameters. This results in a tremendous need to monitor and assess the effectiveness of those controls and policy changes. Network operators face ever-increasing demands to support new telecom applications, increasing traffic volumes and converging technologies for voice and data, all in a highly competitive marketplace.
CrossKeys Resolve Ni delivers an objective assessment of network performance -- an essential service in this type of environment. CrossKeys Resolve Ni intelligently distills the complexities of each telecom network into a set of its own performance indicators, tracks these indicators over time and makes network value visible to key decision-makers.
The CrossKeys Resolve portfolio currently supports Newbridge and Ascend network management systems and is certified to inter-operate with equipment from a variety of vendors, including Cisco, Nortel Networks, Cabletron, 3Com and Siemens. It manages ATM, TDM, Frame Relay and IP-based networks and services.
