Consonus Further Enhances Internet Performance with Internap Flow Control Platform

In a continuous commitment to manage and protect customer data with leading-edge technology and high availability hosting centers, Consonus announced its installation of the Internap Flow Control Platform(TM) (FCP) to proactively identify the best performing path for its client's Internet traffic.

The Internap® Flow Control Platform will improve Consonus IP Network performance by 20-50% by automatically analyzing and optimizing routing for Consonus client Internet traffic. The FCP will dynamically reroute traffic around telecommunication carrier network issues such as congestion and latency that cause up to 80% of application issues which can impact revenue and productivity. The Internap solution will proactively identify and choose the best performing path based on several performing metrics. "With the FCP solution, Consonus will increase productivity and allow our engineers to focus on additional value-added managed service activities. The FCP solution's unparalleled measurement capability gives us better performance, fewer network incidents, sophisticated load balancing and easier troubleshooting," said Jacob Pollmann, director of information technology and managed services with Consonus.

With the FCP, Consonus can measure end-to-end performance for latency, packet loss, route stability and congestion. The FCP will automatically reroute traffic to ensure the best performance. "Consonus clients, especially those with critical business data and information, rely on us to truly provide 99.999% uptime to ensure their critical applications are running and protected within a Consonus fault-tolerant hosting facility. The FCP solution gives Consonus concrete performance data to enforce our SLAs as well as restructure and renegotiate our carrier contracts," said Daniel Milburn, chief operating officer with Consonus.
