Service Provider Using NetQoS for Device Performance Monitoring and Reporting to Alberta Customers AUSTIN, Texas--(Business Wire)-- Calgary-based Axia NetMedia Corporation has deployed NetQoS® NetVoyant to help deliver optimal quality network services to the customers it serves via the Alberta SuperNet. A state-of-the-art IP network, the Alberta SuperNet connects 429 communities in the province and provides direct broadband connectivity to more than 4,400 government, learning, health, library and municipal facilities as well as private businesses. "Axia uses NetQoS NetVoyant to provide network availability, utilization, latency and jitter metrics to our customers," said Drew McNaughton, Chief Technology Officer for Axia. "NetVoyant was the only product we found that scales to our needs and provides the flexible reporting required by the Government of Alberta. For instance, NetVoyant allows us to group and display reports so that a customer sees only the data relevant to them, whether it`s a single school or an entire district." In addition, Axia uses NetVoyant internally to ensure it has the current and future capacity to serve evolving customer needs and also to troubleshoot issues as they arise. The Alberta SuperNet uses an open access model, which means any service provider in the province can use the SuperNet to deliver ultra-high speed services, including Internet access, to their retail and business customers, especially those who reside in rural areas. "With NetVoyant, we can help our open access customers make the best use of our network resources," continued McNaughton. "Our sales staff also makes use of the NetVoyant reports to show potential customers that Axia has a highly available network that can easily fulfill their needs." "NetQoS NetVoyant provides both a technology and marketing function for Axia: The product helps their customers understand what is happening on the network and how it is delivering services, but also reinforces to them the value Axia is delivering via the high performance Alberta SuperNet," said Mike Magri, client delivery executive for NetQoS. "NetVoyant is uniquely suited to meet the needs of service providers like Axia with its ability to monitor the largest networks and its multi-tenancy capabilities to serve up reports designed for each customer."
