For Immediate Release: July 26, 2017
WESTFORD, Mass. – Sonus Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a global leader in securing cloud and real-time communications, today announced a new offering: Incident Management-as-a-Service (IMaaS). Working in conjunction with Sonus partner maintenance and support offerings, this managed service provides expert oversight of Sonus network elements and speeds resolution of network anomalies. By decreasing communications network downtime, Sonus IMaaS protects organizations’ revenues, productivity and reputations.
In its latest version of The Cost of Server, Application, and Network Downtime: North American Enterprise Survey and Calculator, IHS Markit revealed that, in aggregate, information and communication technology downtime costs North American organizations $700 billion per year. More specifically, equipment problems are responsible for 40 percent of that cost.
Network downtime and degraded performance can negatively impact an organization’s productivity, customer satisfaction, and revenue. Sonus IMaaS was designed to address these concerns by assessing availability and performance of Sonus devices to ensure they are performing as expected. In the unlikely event of an issue, IMaaS notifies the problem resolution resources supporting the Sonus devices. This proactive, expert monitoring includes incident characterization, customer notification and initial triage, speeding the time to incident resolution.
Sonus maintains some of the world's most advanced IP communications networks. IMaaS is the latest addition to the already expansive Sonus Global Services portfolio that includes offerings for cloud scale-out, predictive services, network survivability, bandwidth optimization, and security.
