Mu Dynamics Used Widely

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Mu Dynamics, a pioneer in helping network operators and their technology vendors eliminate service downtime through proactive service assurance, today announced the addition of several new Network Equipment Manufacturer (NEM) customers, highlighting the growing adoption of Mus unique service assurance offering. Mu’s customer base also includes half of the top 15 global network operators. Mu’s NEM customers are building higher quality products more quickly and at a lower total release life cycle cost with fewer field “fire drills.” Mu’s new customers, including Fortinet, Intoto, Starent, Force10 Networks, Palo Alto Networks and Ditech Networks, join Mu’s existing 100+ deployments across dozens of customers, including: F5 Networks, Juniper Networks, Motorola, Network Appliance and SonicWALL.

Mu enables each vendor to automate many aspects of their software development lifecycle (SDLC) using the Service Analyzer to discover, document and remediate product weaknesses in Routing, Switching, Load Balancing, UTM, firewall, web filtering, virus screening, spam filtering, intrusion prevention and VPN product suites in order to facilitate customers’ build-out of VoIP, IPTV, and IMS-based services. Mu’s solution also forms the basis of the newly published August 2008 InfoWorld Distributed Enterprise Firewall Shootout plan.

“There is significant demand to have Internet on the go, and mobile operator networks are central in delivering this capability,” said Chuck Bodeman, director of test engineering for Starent Networks. “As a result, the network needs to be reliable, available and secure. Starent Networks works with solutions, such as those offered by Mu Dynamics, to ensure we are delivering robust products with the key features mobile operators require.”
