Distocraft Brings Wireless Network Performance Management To A New Level, Increases Versatility And Cost Efficiency

Legacy Network Performance Management Systems Challenged With Flexibility, Improved Performance And Faster Deployment Of New Network Technologies

Helsinki, Finland (PRWEB) November 11, 2003 -- Distocraft Ltd., a provider of wireless network performance management and service assurance software, today unveiled the version 3.0 of flagship product Distocraft DC5000TM Performance Manager, with first update deployments already completed. Distocraft brings wireless network operators new, flexible tools to improve their network quality and profitability and to make decisions on network investments and capacity allocation based on actual performance data.

Distocraft DC5000 replaces rigid legacy network performance management systems with a new-generation modular, standards-based and customisable software solution. Massive quantities of network performance data are collected and stored in a robust data warehouse in a form that makes the information significantly easier and faster to analyse than before. Real-time load monitoring allows the optimisation of network capacity and service quality down to base station level in every situation.

Wireless network operators are starting to realise that their existing network management systems fail to support emerging network technologies like EDGE and 3G", said Pekka Ruusunen, CEO, Distocraft. Modifying these legacy systems is difficult, and anticipating all future needs before deploying the system is virtually impossible. A proposition to replace the old systems with a modern, flexible and easily customisable solution has met with significant interest in the market."

With Distocraft solution, changes in network infrastructure or reporting demands do not require the initialisation of time consuming and costly consulting projects. On-the-fly customisation and user-definable Key Performance Indicators (KPI) enable versatile reporting based on both real-time and history data. Enterprise-wide reporting architecture serves the information needs of network engineers and general management alike.

Designed to be future-proof, Distocraft DC5000 modular architecture features embedded components from vendors such as Business Objects and Sybase. Industry-leading components, intelligent data flow management and optimised data warehouse model lead to higher performance with lower hardware investments, compared to currently widely used legacy systems.

Standards-based interfaces of Distocraft DC5000 allow easy integration, fast deployment and flexible customisation without a need for proprietary programming skills or consequent long-term consulting deals. Optional consulting and integration services for DC5000 are available from several leading system integrators such as TietoEnator.
