Lumeta and Command Information Partner to Provide Network Assurance Solutions
to Federal Agencies
Joint Offerings Will Support Federal Agencies in Planning for and
Transitioning to the Networx Contract

SOMERSET, N.J., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumeta, the leading provider of
network assurance solutions for enterprises and government agencies, and
Command Information, the premier provider of next generation Internet
services, today announced a partnership focused on delivering next-generation
network management and security solutions to federal agencies. Specifically,
the partnership will deliver solutions focused on the Networx Transition
Assessment, which formally addresses the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
mandates for Networx, the Trusted Internet Connection (TIC) initiative, and
IPv6 adoption.
Agencies are required to develop transition plans related to these
initiatives. The first step is to conduct a complete analysis of current asset
inventory and connectivity across the network and to clearly define
operational needs. Leveraging Lumeta's IPsonar, Command Information
consultants can quickly assess an agency's current network environment. With
this analysis in hand, they are then able to provide recommendations on how to
strengthen network change strategies, address security weaknesses and help
agencies manage, control, and refine policies and standards in regards to
existing and future network security.
Command Information's CEO Jerry Edgerton commented, "Federal agencies are
dealing with significant changes in how they both manage and deploy their IT
networks. The Networx transition is challenging on many levels, making the
joint Lumeta and Command Information solution extremely appealing. This
partnership puts a powerful tool -- the industry's only comprehensive network
discovery technology -- into the hands of government customers that need it
the most. The combination will put agencies on a clear path to compliance in
short order."
"Federal agencies are driving toward a managed-services environment," said
Michael Markulec, chief operations officer at Lumeta. "To make the transition
successfully, these agencies need an accurate assessment of all the assets
that need to be monitored and managed, which can be a nearly impossible task
if discovery is conducted manually."
