Netsnapper, the platform for data network optimisation, has upgraded its platform to extend to Linux, Mac and Windows operating systems, and Symbian and WinMo Mobile Devices, to enable carriers and enterprises to reduce network congestion and improve data services.
The company said that the new offering for data traffic optimisation and compression can alleviate network traffic congestion for carriers and enterprises by up to 30%. Additionally, carriers will have only one vendor for hardware and software.
The company claims that the new offering combines traffic optimisation, seamless switching, data offload, session persistence, security and interface management on one platform.
With the new tool, carrier or enterprise will be able to perform several traffic management functions simultaneously over the core and backhaul, leading to superior control over network traffic, greater traffic reduction and cost savings, Netsnapper said.
Juan Arimany, managing director at Netsnapper, said: "The newly upgraded Netsnapper platform enables enterprises to use our platform on a wider variety of devices and data cards.
With the growing consumption of data services in the market today, Netsnapper addresses a critical need in the market place.
"Consumption rates of 800Megs per-user per-month were unthinkable even three years ago and enterprises are now faced with the very real challenge of managing today’s network traffic."
