Accedian was founded with a vision to help accelerate Carrier Ethernet deployments world-wide using a combination of product innovation, education and support. In 2006 Accedian launched its High Performance Service Assurance platform enabling service providers and operators to leverage the best of Carrier Ethernet, without sacrificing on network service quality or performance, while at the same time reducing overall capital and operational expenditures. A key differentiator of this platform has been, and continues to be, Accedian’s patented Fast-PAAs™ engine—the industry’s only Fast Performance Assurance Agent silicon processor that enables the measurement of Key Performance Indications of network health without adding delay to service traffic as it transits the demarcation device.
Accedian’s family of wire-speed service demarcation and performance monitoring equipment consistently outperforms switches or routers. Powered by the Company’s High Performance Service Assurance™ platform, the Accedian EtherNID®, MetroNID®, MetroNODE 10GE™ and V-NID Suite™ family of demarcation and OAM aggregation devices enable end-to-end service provisioning and assurance with carrier-grade performance. They feature the industry’s most comprehensive remote test and performance monitoring functionality, as well as advanced service creation and traffic management capabilities that enable premium services backed by assured service level agreements (SLAs). Accedian Networks’ VisionMETRIX™ performance portal service provides dashboard displays and reports performance metrics on over 100 unique Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to provide end-to-end actionable, real-time visibility of network performance. With Accedian’s unique hardware-based FastPAAs™ processor at the core of every product, they deliver the most precise in-service measurements available, without adding delay or delay variation to pass-through traffic.
