PACKET DESIGN'S ROUTE EXPLORER HONORED WITH 2003 NETWORK MAGAZINE PRODUCT OF THE YEAR AWARD
The Product of the Year award winners are chosen by Network Magazine's award-winning editors to recognize the outstanding technical achievement of products and services that are most significant to the network IT community.
Route Explorer, Product of the Year winner in the network management category, is a network appliance that helps IP network operators quickly diagnose and analyze IP layer problems by providing full visibility into layer 3 routing operations (the IP "cloud") and displaying routing changes as they occur.
"Route Explorer stands out in the network management category because it gives enterprise network managers visibility into their routed networks that has heretofore been unavailable," said Steve Steinke, Network Magazine editor-in-chief. "Packet Design has proved that innovation in the network IT space is alive and well."
Doug Brent, Packet Design CEO, said, "Until now IP network operators have lacked key information about routing-path problems that can lead to costly downtime. Network Magazine's editors have recognized that Route Explorer, by providing the first 'router's-eye view' inside the IP 'cloud,' can serve as an early warning system, allowing operators to quickly detect and resolve these problems."
Network Magazine's annual Product of the Year awards are acknowledged as one of the networking industry's longest-running and most distinguished awards programs. The awards, given to products and services released in the 2002 calendar year, are evaluated on broad appeal to the reader community; competitive enhancements; price/performance advantages; technical ingenuity; new features and applications; and serviceability to the market. Product of the Year award winners will be featured in the May 2003 issue of Network Magazine and online at http://www.NetworkMagazine.com.
