Meru Networks and SolarWinds Partner to Provide Enterprises with Best-in-Class, Multi-Vendor Network and Performance Management
May 25 2010 - 6:00AM
Business Wire
Meru Networks, Inc., (NASDAQ:MERU), a leader in 802.11n
virtualized wireless LAN solutions for enterprise networking, and
SolarWinds®, Inc. (NYSE:SWI), a leading provider of powerful and
affordable IT management solutions to more than 93,000 customers
worldwide, today announced a partnership that will enable Meru to
resell SolarWinds’ award-winning Orion® Network Performance Monitor
(NPM) with its E(z)RF Network Manager product.
“As wireless connectivity moves from being a convenience to
mission-critical, we believe organizations require a comprehensive
management solution that can monitor, diagnose and predicatively
manage application services on the wireless network,” said Ram
Appalaraju, senior vice president of marketing at Meru. “The Meru
Service Assurance Platform is designed to offer enterprises a
best-in-class solution that ensures all applications are delivered
with a Wireless-like-Wire™ experience. The SolarWinds relationship
will allow Meru to offer two complementary network management
solutions that when used in conjunction enable customers to
predictively and proactively manage their complete network
infrastructure and highly-optimize business-critical
applications.”
Meru’s Wired and Wireless Management solution combines Orion
NPM’s multi-vendor, powerful end-to-end network and availability
performance monitoring for network resources from routers,
switches, servers, wireless controllers and access points and
E(z)RF Network Manager’s detailed wireless performance dashboards,
RF visualization and fault correlation and reporting to provide
enterprises with comprehensive network visibility, across both
wireless and wired networks. IT organizations will be able to use
E(z)RF Network Manager and Orion NPM together to increase
efficiency in the initial deployment and ongoing operation of their
entire network. In addition, when issues do occur, IT departments
will be able to evaluate the business impact of the issue within
minutes, across the entire wired-wireless network infrastructure.
Without this complete visibility, the troubleshooting process can
literally take days to evaluate, including expensive site
visits.
“Meru’s desire to include Orion NPM as a key element of their
Wired and Wireless Management solution provides SolarWinds with a
unique opportunity to create a working relationship with a
fast-growing wireless network provider,” said Sanjay Castelino,
vice president, product management and product marketing,
SolarWinds. “As companies increase their reliance on wireless
networks as a part of their overall IT infrastructure, we have seen
more and more requests for Meru support from users in our online
community, thwack. With a number of common customers already in
place, this relationship with Meru will allow us to address the
current needs of our users while also providing productivity and
efficiency benefits for enterprises of all sizes, across the
various vertical markets.”
