Compuware`s WAN provisioning capacity planning tool, Predictor, has been awarded the `Best Network Application and Operating Software` at the recent European Networking Industry Awards 2002.
Predictor, a key component of the Vantage performance management suite, delivers valuable network information to help IT professionals justify WAN and device upgrade expenditures and design networks for enhanced performance.
Two other components of the Vantage suite, Application Vantage and Application Expert were also named finalists in their respective categories.
Comments Wade Gomes, country manager at Compuware SA: "This award clearly highlights the crucial role that Predictor plays in the planning of WAN capacity. Using the Predictor tool, companies can effectively predict WAN capacity without having to pay too much up-front. It also allows companies to perform `just in time` upgrades rather than waiting for their WAN capacity to be overburdened.
"Bandwidth cost is a major expense for local and global organisations and Predictor can significantly reduce this overhead."
With over 300 products submitted for individual and team entries this year, the Network Industry Awards are the most coveted and respected in the European networking industry.
The annual Network Industry Awards are organised by CMP Europe, in association with Network News, and recognise the success of those companies leading the way in the voice and data networking market.
