Intelliden R-Series software certified ready for IBM Tivoli.

Intelliden Corporation, the intelligent networking company, has announced that its Intelliden R-Series software suite has been successfully integrated with IBM Tivoli NetView and IBM Tivoli Access Manager and certified as Ready for IBM Tivoli software.

With this certification, IBM Tivoli customers can securely and easily deploy Intelliden software solutions within their service provider, enterprise and government environments to increase network control, automate service management, improve network security, and increase optimization across their Internet Protocol (IP) infrastructures.

"This is a very important systems management milestone. By using the Intelliden R-Series, IBM Tivoli customers can now perform end-to-end service and configuration management of routers, switches, optics and firewalls," said Rich Ptak, president and CEO, Ptak and Associates. "And now when they detect a router, switch, optical or firewall problem, they can--via the Intelliden R-Series--bring the device back online. The bottom line is that this integration enables IBM Tivoli customers to further link their network and IT resources with their business priorities."

In passing IBM's world-class certification process, the Intelliden R-Series improves the efficiency and control of IP networks by enabling IBM Tivoli customers to automate end-to-end service management, change management and configuration management of network devices. IBM Tivoli customers can detect a network device problem and now with Intelliden they can also view the device configuration, diagnose the problem, run detailed reports and bring the device back online with minimal manual intervention.

"Intelliden's Ready For IBM Tivoli software certification allows customers to increase their operational efficiency, improve their service management, increase resource availability and lower their networking costs," said Dale Hecht, Intelliden president and CEO. "This is an important achievement for businesses and government organizations managing dynamic IP infrastructures. We look forward to bringing the benefits of our certified IBM Tivoli integration to mutual customers everywhere."

The Intelliden R-Series and IBM Tivoli integration provides seamless identification, analysis and resolution of systems and networking issues that can threaten the availability, security, provisioning and compliancy of business-critical network devices. The Intelliden R-Series software ensures business continuity via granular control of IP network devices. It notifies users, groups and other applications about device and network changes, while also identifying who did what to the network--where, when and why. Intelliden's software can also be used to intelligently and automatically roll back a network device to the best previously known network state.

With the Intelliden R-Series, networks become more intelligent and efficient by dynamically responding to business priorities, which allow businesses and organizations to reduce costs, optimize network resources, increase network security and accelerate service activation. The Intelliden R-Series software suite consists of four intelligent networking product pillars: Auditing and Reporting, Configuration and Control, Provisioning and Activation, and Security Management.
