Pixelmetrix and Skyline redefine service assurance management for advanced broadcast operations.
Izegem, August, 2005 - Skyline Communications, leading supplier of vendor independent network management solutions, announces the integration of various Pixelmetrix products into its renowned DataMiner network management platform. Pixelmetrix is a global expert in preventive monitoring for digital television networks, and supplier of digital video quality assurance solutions.
"The combination of DataMiner and Pixelmetrix solutions such as DVStation is one of those clear-cut cases where operators get more than the sum of the parts. DataMiner easily integrates with any third party device, proprietary or standard, and has over 500 third party device drivers deployed in the field, but the integration of the Pixelmetrix products results in extra added value because of its specific contribution to the innovative DataMiner service management capabilities," commented Ben Vandenberghe, Sales and Marketing Director at Skyline Communications. "DataMiner provides the technology to track in real-time which devices are used by which services and offers the operator real-time service impact analysis and historical service performance information. DataMiner provides this technology end-to-end, across all vendor boundaries, communicating with any active components in the service chain. But if in addition, you can add to this qualitative service metrics measured by products such as the DVStation, you can further increase the service awareness significantly. DataMiner and Pixelmetrix solutions are both valuable assets for professional operators, but the combination provides that extra edge that makes the difference."
"Preserving service quality is an essential component of deploying digital services in today's highly competitive markets. Solutions such as DataMiner, which provide a true service perspective on the entire operational environment, as well as the Pixelmetrix solutions which assess the quality of the services throughout that same operational environment, are key to the deployment of those digital services," added Reto Brader, General Manager, Europe, Pixelmetrix Corporation. "Combining DataMiner and the Pixelmetrix solutions results in an intelligent management environment, with an exceptional high level of service awareness. With products from Pixelmetrix, DataMiner is capable to instantly and fully automatically assess the true impact on service quality upon detection of faults in the actual operational environment."
