AAC Service Data Module (SDM) Supports ATM Managed Services

The Service Data Module for the AAC acts

as a Visual Networks® Analysis Service Element (ASE). Specifically designed to support NxT1/E1 IMA or DS3/E3 ATM networks, it monitors user-specified ATM ports and circuits, and communicates service performance data and events to Visual UpTime®.

Kentrox and Visual Networks enable service providers to introduce WAN Performance Management Services based on industry-proven hardware and software solutions. Service providers can offer customers a variety of new managed service options and a higher degree of flexibility for hybrid ATM/Frame Relay networks.
