PacketLight ( CWDM DWDM ) Networks successfully completes IBM's Tivoli Ready Certification Program

Jan. 8, 2009 - PRLog -- PacketLight Networks Ltd., a leading provider of Data and Storage Extension connectivity solutions, announced today that its CWDM and DWDM connectivity products have  successfully completed the IBM's Tivoli Ready Certification Program, having met its testing requirements for system compatibility, interoperability, ease-of-installation, functionality, and network interoperability as defined and controlled by IBM.
The Tivoli Netcool / Omnibus NMS Server can now interoperate fully with PacketLight Networks' CWDM and DWDM connectivity products, that allow for various services from 2Mbps to 10Gbps to be multiplexed over dark fibre, in various topologies such as rings, stars and of course point-to-point networks.

In addition to PacketLight's built-in web-based management system, and PacketLight's own EMS, IBM users can now integrate their PacketLight WDM systems, using SNMP traps, into their existing IBM Tivoli NMS.  This enables the IBM user to see all elements and events under a scalable and unified management platform.

PacketLight’s variety of efficient connectivity solutions over all common WAN technologies for connecting between the primary and secondary DR/BC (Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity) sites enables the user to select the WAN interface protocol according to its preferences.

PacketLight products cut hardware and operational costs such as maintenance, power consumption and rack space at least in half (when compared to other typical solutions of similar capacity). Companies around the world that need to protect their data responding to the increasing security, compliance and corporate governance issues will benefit from the IBM Tivoli Ready certified solutions from PacketLight.

“Since many of our customers are IBM houses, this great step allows us to offer a more integrated approach in providing solutions that not only provide excellent connectivity over fibre, but also integrate with our customers' existing management systems” states Koby Reshef, PacketLight’s VP of Marketing.
