Network performance monitoring companies team up for Canadian market

Itheon Networks has established a strategic partnership with Ckey Networks, a leading Canadian supplier of network performance and testing systems.

This alliance enables Itheon Networks to expand the availability of its networked applications performance monitoring and network emulation technology into the Canadian market which has already shown keen interest in tools that enable organisations to better understand how applications perform over Wide Area and Remote Networks.

The partnership enables Ckey Networks to broaden the selection of of products it offers to its well established customer base.

With offices in Europe and the US, Itheon Networks, a specialist in networked application performance monitoring and testing, has enjoyed strong growth and market penetration since its establishment in 2004.

Frank Puranik, Itheon Networks' CEO says "By being able to offer our technology through Ckey Networks, we now have first-class Canadian sales and support for our next-generation range of networked application response time monitoring and application testing products".

Puranik continues: "With Ckey Networks we believe we have found a partner who is strongly aligned with our business objectives of providing products and services which help customers to rapidly identify the causes of poor application performance in networks, de-risk application roll-outs and optimise network utilisation".

"Many of Ckey Networks customers are using conventional protocol analysers and network tools but are still missing the rapid identification and absolute certainty of knowing exactly where their applications are failing or not meeting their benchmark performance standards".

Rick Brand, Director of Ckey Networks, Canada says "We believe that Itheon Networks offers unique product lines that our customers are seeking to fulfill the urgent and demanding need they have to maximise the performance and bandwidth use on their networks".

Brand continues: "We feel the best product lines come from the choices our customers make, and with Itheon Networks they have come highly recommended by some of our most discriminating customers".

"We feel very positive about a progressive and successful future with the people at Itheon Networks".
