GenieNRM today announced that UMC, the world leading semiconductor foundry, has chosen the GenieATM Solution for its effective troubleshooting and network forensics capabilities to assure its network performance.
In the ultra-competitive high-tech industry, to provide maximum value to customers through offering the best quality without compromising cost and time-to-market, network connectivity delivering various business-critical services and enabling real-time communications of geographically distributed users has now been considered the necessity for enterprises. While the network connectivity can improve operational efficiency and increase business productivity, it also brings about challenges in IT management and risks of network outage incidents. Having over 10,500 employees worldwide and offices in Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Europe, and the United States, UMC faces a range of network traffic management challenges, in which traditional network management systems fall short to address. In response, UMC was looking for a novel traffic management solution which provides capability of effective troubleshooting and efficient network forensics for assuring the global network availability and performance.
Designed to address various network traffic problems, the highly scalable GenieATM embeds a logical computation engine enabling the unmatched capability of pervasive network monitoring and analysis. Basing on the powerful computation engine, GenieATM’s Flow Monitor function delivers in-depth visibility into traffic network-wide. Its real-time Traffic Snapshot function provides instantly anomaly identification and problem diagnostic ability as an unmatched troubleshooting tool. The Top-N Analysis function enables network managers to conduct historical incident back-tracing and report generation for network forensic, anytime, for any purpose.
Through the deployment of GenieATM, UMC benefits from reduction of the network operational and maintenance costs by the proactive network troubleshooting and historical analysis capabilities. The UMC network users’ satisfaction is also increased due to the quick problem responding ability through anomaly identification and resolving even before the network performance is impacted. Additionally, the specific requirement of UMC for months-back traffic analysis is met by GenieATM’s superior database scaling and storage management mechanisms. Furthermore, while the current GenieATM deployment assists in managing the networks of UMC headquarter and certain Fab sites, by leveraging the solution strengths of distributed data collection and pervasive analysis, GenieNRM is planning to apply the management over UMC’s global networks which connect all UMC’s Fab locations and hence extend the benefits to the maximum.
"The recognition from a leading high-tech company like UMC reinforces GenieNRM's position as a quality vendor of network traffic management solutions for large enterprises," said Richard Liu, VP of Product Marketing, GenieNRM, "it also proves GenieATM a mature product that continues to evolve to ensure our customers staying ahead of increasingly network management challenges and obfuscations.”
