Ipanema Technologies has announced that Cable&Wireless will use its Business Network Optimisation System to develop a new application-centric offering India.

"Businesses are increasingly dependent on networks to underpin their IT infrastructure and as CRM and ERP applications become more business-critical, the fight for bandwidth becomes greater. Our service offering is evolving as these new pressures are placed on network managers to guarantee the performance of key applications such as Citrix and SAP and sensitive real-time applications such as VoIP," said Alex Connors, Head of International Product Management at Cable&Wireless.

He added, "The spotlight is now on ICT departments and network managers are turning to us to give them as much control over their networks as possible. We’re committed to offering the best levels of service to our customers and, with Ipanema, we will be able to help network managers meet the requirements of their end-users, ensuring critical applications do not suffer due to network issues such as congestion at peak times."
