Paradyne's Award-Winning FrameSaver SLV Technology Extended to New NextEDGE Multi-Services Access System.LARGO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 12, 1999--Paradyne Corporation, a pioneer and leader in network digital access, announced today the extension of its award-winning FrameSaver(tm) SLV SLV abbr. standard launch vehicle (Service Level Verifier) technology to its integrated access devices -- the NextEDGE(tm) Multi-Services Access System. NextEDGE combines an extensive access multiplexer feature set, including voice, video and leased-line data access with the service level management capabilities of Paradyne's FrameSaver SLV products. The new offering targets customers who currently have, or are migrating to, frame relay A high-speed packet switching protocol used in wide area networks (WANs). Providing a granular service of up to DS3 speed (45 Mbps), it has become popular for LAN to LAN connections across remote distances, and services are offered by most major carriers. connectivity between their locations yet also require service level management of multiple applications, such as analog or digital voice and high-speed data or video. Paradyne's FrameSaver SLV technology provides network-wide detailed frame relay PVC PVC: see polyvinyl chloride. PVC in full polyvinyl chloride Synthetic resin, an organic polymer made by treating vinyl chloride monomers with a peroxide. performance statistics for latency, throughput, and availability monitoring and reporting; RMON (Remote MONitoring) Enhancements to the management information base (MIB) structure used by the simple network management protocol (SNMP). In 1991, RMON added comprehensive network monitoring capabilities. performance history; network diagnostics and frame relay circuit optimization capabilities. The new NextEDGE System incorporates these capabilities, will support 1 or 2 T1 Network connections, and is available in convenient chassis sizes (two-slot and five-slot versions). Paradyne's OpenLane suite of management applications manages the NextEDGE System, which is designed to interoperate with the FrameSaver SLV access units when used in frame relay network applications. Selecting the optimal product for each location, achieves an extremely cost-effective network design. Once the network is established, the integrated, multi-services T1 access system generates continuous savings and efficient utilization of frame relay resources. The optional dual network T1s can be used to provide additional bandwidth as the network expands or to add reliability in the event of a facility failure. NextEDGE provides rapid trouble detection, isolation and restoration for multiple services. Optional PRI PRI: see Institutional Revolutionary party.

BRI - Basic Rate Interface dial backup features can automatically restore mission-critical applications. Serviceability and reliability are key facets of the design of the product. Hot swap To pull out a component from a system and plug in a new one while the main power is still on. Also called "hot plug" and "hot insertion," hot swap is a feature of USB devices, allowing an external drive, network adapter or other peripheral to be plugged in without having to power down the modules allow the user to quickly install new applications or remove cards without service interruptions.

Like FrameSaver, NextEDGE incorporates RMON performance management capabilities from NetScout Systems, the market leader in enterprise network monitoring The term network monitoring describes the use of a system that constantly monitors a computer network for slow or failing systems and that notifies the network administrator in case of outages via email, pager or other alarms. and application management solutions. Redundant power (AC or DC) is also available. The NextEDGE System starts at $3,995 (U.S. list) and will be available in March, 1999.
