Telchemy Joins Juniper Networks' Partner Solution Development Platform

Juniper Networks, Inc. announced that Telchemy, a developer of IPTV and Voice over IP performance management technology, has joined the Juniper Networks Open IP Solution Development Program (OSDP).

As a member of the OSDP, Juniper Networks said it provides Telchemy with access to the Partner Solution Development Platform (PSDP) that enables customers and partners to develop specialized applications on its JUNOS software.

Telchemy noted it is using the PSDP to integrate its voice and IP services monitoring, measurement and analysis technology with Juniper Networks JUNOS software, for deployment on M Series Multiservice Routers and MX Series Ethernet Services Routers. As announced separately, the integrated Telchemy embedded Performance Monitor (TePM) application will provide network, session and application layer monitoring for IP voice and data services. TePM will support pre-deployment and post-deployment operations activities related to service roll-out, health monitoring, and troubleshooting.

"The TePM application is based on Telchemy's DVQattest active test product line, and provides a sophisticated tool for network and service performance monitoring and troubleshooting." said Dr Alan Clark, CEO of Telchemy. "We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with Juniper as part of their OSDP program and have found the resources and support provided by Juniper expedite the process of integrating our technology onto JUNOS and provide access to the powerful hardware resources available in Juniper Routers."

An active test agent, TePM can generate synthetic VoIP traffic with SIP signaling and synthetic network application transactions for DHCP, DNS, HTTP, POP/SMTP testing. The TePM can also perform IP network and path testing to locate and diagnose network problems. TePM is based on DVQattest and incorporates Telchemy's VQmon technology. VQmon technology measures the performance of synthetic multimedia streams, and is interoperable with standards based SIP phones, gateways and with Telchemy DVQattest agents that run on PC platforms or can be embedded in other devices.

Telchemy leveraged the Juniper Networks PSDP to integrate TePM with JUNOS. The PSDP provides resources, including a software development kit (SDK) for carrier grade routing platforms with intelligent and secure interfaces to JUNOS routing and service functions, and technical and business support.

The TePM application will be available for purchase through Juniper as a product within the Intelligent Services Edge portfolio.
