Retailer HomeValu Interiors Deploys Visual Networks For Enterprise-Wide Network and Application Performance Management
HomeValu Licenses All Software Modules Of Flagship Visual UpTime Select Offering
Rockville, MD (April 18, 2005) – Visual Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: VNWK), a leading provider of network and application performance management solutions, today announced that Midwestern retailer HomeValu has implemented its flagship product Visual UpTime® Select ™ solution to manage network and application performance. A modular solution, Visual UpTime Select provides in-depth, real-time and historical information that enables enterprises to intelligently manage application and network performance and availability across the entire enterprise. Headquartered in Fridley, Minnesota, HomeValu provides a wide range of home design and remodeling services.
"Since we deployed UpTime Select at all of our retail locations earlier this year, we have discovered a lot of unexpected things on our network infrastructure," said Matt Mason, IT director at HomeValu. "We couldn't be happier with Visual UpTime Select. What is most valuable is the ability to automatically see what applications are flowing to which devices on each end and how much bandwidth each application is consuming."
"Additionally, with the Visual technology in place, we have been able to cut our T1 utilization in half by substantially reducing the use of unauthorized applications such as streaming media by authorized users," continued Mason. "As we roll out a new point of sale system later this year, having Visual UpTime Select in place will enable us to project the right amount of bandwidth required for its support."
"As enterprises continue to roll out mission-critical applications across their networks, there is a tremendous need for solutions that can correlate network performance in real-time with application information from all sites while optimizing bandwidth utilization," said Larry Barker, President and CEO of Visual Networks. "Increasingly, enterprises such as HomeValu are turning to Visual UpTime Select to meet this key operational need."
Visual Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: VNWK) is a leading provider of network and application performance management solutions. The company’s technologies enable enterprises to reliably and securely manage the delivery and performance of key applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP) across their infrastructures.
