IBM is acquiring wireless network performance management
company Vallent to expand its systems management offering to
firms.
Vallent is a supplier of network performance monitoring and
service management software to wireless service providers
worldwide.
Vallent’s software helps service providers manage the
performance of their network infrastructure through monitoring and
reporting problem areas such as dropped calls and traffic
bottlenecks.
It also helps operators improve wireless service quality and
identify network problems before they affect a customer’s
experience.
Financial details of the acquisition have not been revealed. IBM
said it expected that the deal would be completed in the first
quarter of next year.
Vallent’s technology will be added to the IBM Tivoli Software
Netcool portfolio.
