Global Leader in IPTV and Voice over IP Performance Management Technology Joins
Open IP Solution Development Program
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Juniper Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:JNPR), the leader in high-performance networking,
today announced that Telchemy® Incorporated, the global leader in IPTV and Voice
over IP performance management technology, has joined the Juniper Networks Open
IP Solution Development Program (OSDP). As a member of the OSDP, Juniper
Networks provides Telchemy with access to the Partner Solution Development
Platform (PSDP) that enables customers and partners to develop specialized
applications on its best-in-class JUNOS software. 

Telchemy is using the PSDP to integrate its voice and IP services monitoring,
measurement and analysis technology with Juniper Networks JUNOS software, for
deployment on M Series Multiservice Routers and MX Series Ethernet Services
Routers. As announced separately today, the integrated Telchemy embedded
Performance Monitor (TePM) application will provide network, session and
application layer monitoring for a wide variety of IP voice and data services.
TePM will comprehensively support a wide variety of pre-deployment and
post-deployment operations activities related to service roll-out, health
monitoring, and troubleshooting. 

Delivering these capabilities from within the routing infrastructure will enable
customers to efficiently ensure quality IP Service delivery at scale while
reducing the cost and complexity associated with deploying standalone monitoring
or measurement appliances. 

"The TePM application is based on Telchemy`s DVQattest active test product line,
and provides a sophisticated tool for network and service performance monitoring
and troubleshooting." said Dr Alan Clark, CEO of Telchemy. "We are pleased to
have the opportunity to work with Juniper as part of their OSDP program and have
found the resources and support provided by Juniper expedite the process of
integrating our technology onto JUNOS and provide access to the powerful
hardware resources available in Juniper Routers." 

An advanced active test agent, TePM can generate synthetic VoIP traffic with SIP
signaling and synthetic network application transactions for DHCP, DNS, HTTP,
POP/SMTP testing. The TePM can also perform IP network and path testing to
locate and diagnose network problems. TePM is based on DVQattest and
incorporates Telchemy`s market leading VQmon technology. VQmon technology
measures the performance of synthetic multimedia streams, and is interoperable
with standards based SIP phones, gateways and with Telchemy DVQattest agents
that run on PC platforms or can be embedded in other devices. DVQattest is a
compact, powerful active test agent able to run on a wide range of hardware and
software platforms from residential customer premise equipment to high
performance systems such as Juniper Routers. 

Telchemy leveraged the Juniper Networks PSDP to integrate TePM with JUNOS. The
PSDP provides resources, including a software development kit (SDK) for carrier
grade routing platforms with intelligent and secure interfaces to JUNOS routing
and service functions, and technical and business support. As a member of the
OSDP program, ISV partners use the PSDP to integrate their applications with
JUNOS so that they run directly on Juniper routers resulting in enhanced
performance, simplified network infrastructure, and a greater opportunity for
collaboration and the development of unique capabilities. 

"The PSDP enables Juniper to leverage both internal and external expertise and
resources to rapidly bring new services and applications to market-this is a key
competitive advantage for Juniper, and it provides tremendous value for our
customers," said Craig Bardenheuer, vice president of Open IP Business, Juniper
Networks. "We are very pleased to be working with Telchemy to bring their IP and
VoIP performance management into our JUNOS application set. This will be a
powerful addition to our Intelligent Services Edge portfolio and will help
customers improve the performance and efficiency of multimedia service
delivery." 

The inherent security and stability of JUNOS software, combined with its modular
architecture and single-source code, provides a proven foundation for delivering
best-in-class performance, with an attractive total cost of ownership. With
continuous systems availability, intelligence and automated operations
efficiency, JUNOS software offers providers a unique view of the services and
network availability their customers require, which helps them to deliver an
enhanced user experience. 

The TePM application will be available for purchase through Juniper as a product
within the Intelligent Services Edge portfolio.
