Vox Telecom will offer the cloud-based PathView Cloud network performance monitoring and troubleshooting services to enterprises and SME businesses throughout southern Africa.

The PathView Cloud solution provides unmatched insight into and across networks for monitoring and troubleshooting telecommunications services. The zero-administration network management service allows for immediate visibility into how an application will perform on any network, including all security and traffic shaping technologies.

“We are excited to launch this new partnership with the leading telecom carrier and network provider in South Africa. With PathView Cloud, Vox Telecom can provide 24/7 network performance monitoring and troubleshooting to ensure predictable and consistent delivery of business-critical IT services,” said Jim Melvin, CEO of AppNeta.
