IneoQuest Joins EMC Smarts Velocity Partner Program

IneoQuest and EMC Smarts Collaborate to Deliver Advanced IP Video Quality and Service Assurance Solutions to the Telecom and Cable Service Provider Sector


CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - June 19, 2007) - NXTComm -- IneoQuest Technologies, Inc., the leader in Multi-Dimensional Video Quality Management Systems™ and global provider of advanced quality and service assurance solutions for IP Video, today announced it has joined the EMC Smarts Velocity Partner Program. The new partnership integrates IneoQuest's iVMS (IP Video Management System) with EMC Smarts' IT infrastructure management solutions to offer IP Video network operators the most advanced tools for reducing operational costs while improving video quality and network operational efficiency.

Video service providers have the potential to recognize significant revenue gains with reduced operational expenses when deploying IPTV technology, but there are deployment and management challenges. IP networks require a comprehensive set of products, tools, technologies and applications, all of which must be continuously fine-tuned to ensure optimal performance. This complex environment requires an automated system that enables providers to view the entire IP Video infrastructure as a single unified network -- ultimately reducing a provider's time to detect and fix problems.

"IneoQuest's IP Video Quality and Service Assurance solution uniquely provides real-time quality monitoring for thousands of live, simultaneous IP Video program streams at any point within the network," said Gino Dion, VP of Business Development for IneoQuest. "The iVMS northbound interface allows seamless integration with EMC Smarts IT management solutions, creating a powerful tool for controlling operational expenses while enabling continued, efficient deployments."

IneoQuest / EMC Smarts integration features include:

(1)     Specialized set of EMC Smarts adapters for IneoQuest probes
        and technology
(2)     Multi-dimensional network assessment correlation and root-cause
        analysis
(3)     Unified platform for end-to-end video quality service assurance
