Real-time Infrastructure Management System receives Joint Interoperability
Test Command Certification
RICHARDSON, Texas, May 1 /PRNewswire/ -- CommScope, Inc. (NYSE: CTV), the world leader in the design and manufacture of cable and
connectivity solutions for communications networks, working together with
theDefense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Joint Interoperability Test Command
(JITC), has received an Interoperability Assessment and a Standards Conformance
certification for the SYSTIMAX iPatch Real-time Infrastructure Management System.
The ability to manage, configure and monitor the physical interconnections between
network elements can be a challenge to any organization, particularly one with
a network as complex as the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). In its February
2007 report, the JITC analysis determined that the SYSTIMAX iPatch System meets
the current DoD and industry standards; provides network physical layer management
within the complex DoD network architecture in a secure and reliable manner.
The DoD believes its analysis represents a thorough demonstration of a
product's ability to provide protocol compliance, stability, scalability, management
and security to DoD networks.
"CommScope is proud to be able to support the
DoD and the people who depend on the network," said Mark Peterson, senior
vice president, global marketing, enterprise, CommScope. "We're obviously
very pleased that our iPatch Solution performed so well. We believe this real-time
infrastructure management system provides a significant new capability to the
defense community and will enhance the DoD's ability to manage its communications
network. We look forward to continuing our work with the US Government
and the DoD."
The test effort consisted of three phases. The standards
conformance phase tested the iPatch System in an isolated environment using
test equipment to transmit and receive traffic flows through the isolated system.
In the next phase, the system was integrated into a representative DoD network
and test equipment was used to transmit and receive traffic across the network.
The equipment was then used to measure the number of data frames received and
the packet delay time. The measurements revealed no packet loss, 100 percent
throughput and less than 10 microseconds latency for all packet sizes at all
interface speeds. The final phase of testing captured and analyzed data transmissions
between the SYSTIMAX iPatch Rack Manager Plus and SYSTIMAX iPatch System Manager
Personal Computer and did not find any iPatch System vulnerabilities that external
(or internal) hackers could exploit.
When deployed, the SYSTIMAX iPatch System will provide
the DoD with an integrated, real-time infrastructure management solution comprising
intelligent copper and fiber patch panels, a Rack Manager Plus unit (for managing
and monitoring the panels in a rack or cabinet) and System Manager Software.
These combined elements simplify the management and control of the physical
interconnections between elements of the communications network. The system
will also manage patching (moves, adds and changes), provide physical layer
tracing and assist in optimized port utilization. Most importantly, the iPatch
System performs Simple Network Management Protocol auto-discovery of network
elements and generates alarms whenever unexpected or unauthorized interconnections
occur in the network - ensuring that corrective actions are taken quickly.
