XON has partnered with Procera Networks, to distribute, implement and support XON's PacketLogic products.

According to XON, these products give network operators - both mobile and fixed line - real-time visibility, better performance, scalability and personalised services, and enable corporations to deliver bring your own device and cloud services.

"Procera has done its homework with deep packet inspection and policy enforcement, giving telecommunications service providers the ability to gain unprecedented awareness and control of their networks," says Bertus Marais, GM of business development at XON. "This empowers marketing staff at those organisations to get real insights into what customers are doing and want from their network service providers so they can tailor-make services for different segments of their customer bases."

According to Marais, the partnership will allow service providers to give their customers richer services. "Now, for example, they will be able to offer consumers packages segmented by application, device, priority, and time or day of the week associated with different volumes and throughput speeds."

Procera Networks' intelligent policy enforcement PacketLogic solutions complement XON's existing solution stack for customised ICT solutions, specifically for the telecommunications service provider and enterprise markets.

"Procera's global expansion now includes South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa, bolstering our ability to address those high-growth markets that are moving rapidly from less-refined DPI technology to more sophisticated IPE, wherein Procera excels," says Justine Ferreira, account director, EMEA, at Procera Networks.

"Our markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Central and Latin America (CALA), and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS counties) have shown considerable growth of Procera Networks installations, and [we have] increased our footprint dramatically through dedication and commitment to building long-term relationships with our customers and regional channel partners within these regions," she says.

Ferreira and Werner van der Walt, a solutions engineer for EMEA at Procera Networks, based in Johannesburg, will support XON's success in the region with the backing of Procera Networks' global pool of resources.
