Zvolve Systems, Inc. is a leader in providing on demand, real-time path computational routing solutions to telecommunication carriers and large enterprises for the proactive autonomic management of data networks. Zvolve has created a suite of software solutions to manage the inherent complexities in today's multi-vendor convergent IP data network environments. Zvolve's solution suite offers customers the ability to automatically remedy service disruptions, optimize their existing assets, and manage emerging IP services. This allows Zvolve's customers to significantly reduce their costs in building, managing and maintaining IP networks in order to increase their margins and reduce downtime.

Based on autonomic technology, the Conscious solution suite obtains real-time feedback on the state of the network infrastructure, checks the status against business policies, and makes changes by dynamically optimizing and prioritizing the traffic flows in order to provide the levels of service required to deliver convergent IP services. The software is extremely flexible with open and standards based APIs and is optimized for IBM pSeries® servers for Linux® and Unix®.

These unique applications bond together the Operational Support Systems (OSS) and the Business Support Systems (BSS) with the network infrastructure to automate the decision processes in real time without human intervention that is required to prioritize and assure the delivery of IP data traffic. The goals of these applications are to provide automated proactive management and QoS for heterogeneous networks.

The Conscious solution suite enables carriers to realize immediate operational efficiencies and sustainable spending reductions on service delivery, assurance, operations and network build-out. This is accomplished by routing traffic more effectively, driving a higher volume of services across the existing network infrastructure by leveraging underutilized bandwidth and assets. Additionally, Conscious uses the carrier’s unique Business Intelligence to identify and route traffic on a per-customer and/or services basis, ensuring that network behavior delivers the greatest possible financial benefit to the provider’s bottom-line.

"IBM's autonomic goals, products and services are extremely synergistic with Zvolve. The integration of our products with IBM Tivoli, WebSphere, and DB2 products--coupled with TotalStorage and pSeries servers and complimented by IBM Global Services--allows Zvolve to offer our joint customers a complete autonomic solution today. More importantly, through our Premier IBM partnership, our customers are able to realize the vision of an on demand telecom network to obtain their business and financial goals."

The Zvolve Conscious BGP application is a software based on demand solution which provides telecommunication service providers and large enterprises the ability to autonomously optimize IP/BGP traffic in real-time across multiple geographical diverse peering points between multiple carriers. Conscious BGP is able to dynamically prioritize the traffic flows and announcements based on real time business intelligence (BI) and network performance statistics.

The Zvolve Conscious application dynamically prioritizes and optimizes IP/MPLS/ATM/F/R networks to assure delivery of IP data traffic without human intervention. Conscious enables telecommunication carriers and large enterprises to realize immediate operational efficiencies and sustainable spending reductions on service delivery, assurance, operations, and network build-out. This is accomplished by routing traffic more effectively, driving a higher volume of services across the existing network infrastructure and by using underutilized bandwidth and assets. Thus reducing the need for excessive headroom and improving performance across the entire network. Additionally, Conscious dynamically uses the carrier’s unique Business Intelligence to identify and route traffic on a per-customer and/or services basis, ensuring that network behavior delivers the greatest possible financial benefit to the provider’s bottom-line.
