At Packet Island, our vision is to help create a world where converged media services work like the good old telephone system. Our mission is to create solutions that simplify the deployment and delivery of rich converged media services by eliminating complexity through visibility. The problem we solve is described below:
The past decade has witnessed the rapid penetration of broadband on a worldwide scale. This has facilitated IT network topologies to evolve from large homogenous single-site networks to highly distributed multi-site networks that use the Internet as an Interconnect. During the same time, the commoditization of networking hardware and the resurgence in VoIP have led many businesses to deploy complex IT networks which are now being used to carry VoIP (and increasingly, video as well). This is where the problem starts.
Industry data shows that most businesses continue to be ill-prepared to cope with the challenges of deploying VoIP over their data networks. The issues are most painful to those MSPs deploying IP-based converged media services to SMBs, and the multi-site enterprises deploying VoIP (and Video) to their distributed branch office networks. Unfortunately, the traditional IT management platforms which were originally built for data networks are unable to deal with the new set of problems brought about by converged media. This is best expressed by the following customer quote:
Trusted by leading telecom carriers, national field service companies, and multi-site enterprises, Packet Island offers the industry's most scalable network lifecycle management solution for converged media networks. The Packet Island platform complements traditional IT and desktop management platforms by adding QoS-based converged media network design and the ability to manage VoIP, Data, and Video* flows.
