Realizing the gradual shift in the industry focus toward network management, Spacenet custom designed the Prysm Pro for business and enterprise organizations that typically have thousands of sites and high security and uptime requirements. A modular, scalable, off-the-shelf IP network appliance, Prysm Pro is a completely PCI Data Security Standard compliant device that provides integrated support for a comprehensive range of corporate applications including data acceleration, retail applications/POS hardware interfaces and multimedia content delivery such as digital media. The core functionality of Prysm Pro is essentially intelligent routing.
"Prysm Pro effectively meets customer demands to provide support for a wider range of business applications and streamlined corporate-wide network management practices," said Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Anand Srinivasan. "This unique product allows customers to select the optimal network access option at each site, manage them all from a central location, and seamlessly support all applications on a single network platform solution. It also enables the integration of different connectivity technologies, DSL, 3G wireless, dial up etc, as the primary or secondary connection in order to insure network backup and reliable uptime."
Prysm Pro offers added features and benefits while addressing some of the most common and critical networking challenges that customers face as they transition their networks to leverage new technology and adopt revenue generating opportunities. The product offers enhanced customer value by allowing clients to select the best WAN option at each location, reducing costs and operational issues while also enabling complete network redundancy and risk mitigation. It also allows the IT department to implement and support critical business initiatives, regardless of the primary network access method.
"Prysm Pro interfaces with satellite, DSL, cable, 3G wireless, dial up access or any combination of multiple WAN links, enabling customers to deploy the ideal access option at each location, while utilizing a secondary option to insure network diversity for business continuity," said Spacenet CEO Andreas Georghiou. "The final result is lower network cost, improved network uptime and greater operational efficiency."
The deployment of cutting-edge technologies is central to Spacenet's solutions. A Linux-based open source operating system enables Spacenet to support client needs by providing custom development for Prysm Pro on very short lead times. It offers a future-proof hardware platform providing complete control of functions and security features required throughout the life of the client's network.
