Telcordia, a provider of communications network software and services for IP, wireline, wireless and cable, is enabling enterprises and government agencies to take advantage of the opportunities now available through the wide-spread adoption of cloud computing technologies. Telcordia is addressing the challenge with Telcordia® IP Assure, a scalable, non-intrusive software that detects and helps to rectify configuration errors in IP network devices.

"Enterprises and government agencies are increasingly depending on IP networks to carry sensitive and mission-critical data, which makes security, availability, and regulatory compliance of even greater concern for network administrators," said Adam Drobot, CTO & President, Advanced Technology Solutions, Telcordia. "Large enterprises, which typically have multiple IP networks managed by geographically dispersed groups, can install IP Assure in a centralized data center, and dispersed users can access it without needing any Telcordia client software or associated hardware."

IP Assure fully supports the cloud computing paradigm because it is completely web-based and easily supports multiple tenants and users. It can continually analyze IP networks in their entirety, not just on a per-device or per-protocol basis, and delivers real-time, multi-level, multi-protocol views and topologies. IP Assure significantly reduces costs associated with configuration errors that can add up to millions of dollars per year for a G2000 organization.

IP Assure is already assisting organizations across the world to help improve the security and operations of their IP networks, including a high-profile branch of the US Federal Government where severe security breaches and compliance issues that got the attention of the US Congress were detected and eliminated.
