Anagran Scores Another Cable MSO With Solid Broadband Corp.
My|Destiny Internet Improves Subscribers Quality of Experience and ReducesOperating Costs
February 22, 2011 — Sunnyvale, Calif. — Anagran, Inc., the leader in IP flow-based Internet traffic management solutions today announced the deployment of their FR-1000 Internet traffic manager by Solid Broadband Corp., operator of My|Destiny Cable and Global Destiny CATV services. Anagran continues to make significant market penetration with several network operators in North America and throughout South Asia and Japan.
“Prior to the installation of Anagran’s FR-1000 Internet traffic manager, our Internet resources were primarily consumed by a minority of subscribers,” said Rafael Santiago, Sr. Manager of Network Operations, Solid Broadband Corp. “We didn’t want to be in the business of policing what our customers do on the Internet and simply wanted to ensure all our subscribers were having the best Internet experience possible and happy with the value they received for their service subscribed to. The FR-1000’s IP Flow-State technology and service differentiation capabilities enabled us to both ensure each subscriber had real-time fair usage of our network resources and that our tiered pricing plans could be enforced. Anagran provided us the best real-time fair usage appliance in the market. It was incredibly simple and transparent to configure and deploy and the improvement in service was immediate. Furthermore, the costs and ROI was a great value compared to other solutions we considered.”
Designed to significantly improve operators’ network utilization, deliver tiered subscriber solutions and improve the quality of experience (QoE), Anagran’s FR-1000 is an advanced Internet traffic manager (ITM) that allows service providers of all types to reduce the cost of network capacity and increase usable bandwidth.
The FR-1000 leverages Anagran’s innovative IP Flow State (IFS) technologies including flow classification, control, prioritization, delivery and management, as well as host (subscriber/user) equalization and behavioral recognition algorithms. In addition to creating a more efficient, deterministic environment, the FR-1000 can be used to mitigate the bandwidth consumed by aggressive peer-to-peer file sharing applications, thereby minimizing their impact on other users. The FR-1000 can be deployed in existing multi-vendor networks to ensure that “quality sensitive” applications such as over-the-top (OTT) video, on-line gaming, and voice over IP (VoIP) receive sufficient bandwidth to deliver the quality that broadband subscribers expect.
“Providing real-time fair usage and tiered bandwidth offerings are two of many benefits that Anagran excels at and we are extremely pleased to add Broadband Corp. to our portfolio of customers,” said Bill Beckett, Vice President of Asia for Anagran, Inc. “Operators all over the region are telling us they want to maximize their network resources, ensure equitable, non-discriminative capacity distribution amongst subscribers and increase their ARPU by differentiating tiered service plans. We are very pleased the FR-1000 enables customers like Solid Broadband Corp. to achieve their objectives with our advanced flow-state technology, and to do so with minimal efforts, zero network topology changes, all the while reducing their capital and operating expenditures.”
