Perforce Launches New Remote Administration Service For Its Software Configuration Management Customers

Alameda, CA (Vocus) August 10, 2010

Perforce Software announced the availability of its newest service, Perforce Remote Administration, providing customers additional administrative support for their Perforce Software Configuration Management (SCM) system. Tailored to meet each companys needs, Perforce remote administrators partner with companies IT teams to manage and improve their Perforce installations.

Gazillion Entertainment trialed the program before its general availability, and is now relying on Perforce for ongoing administration.

We were at a stage where we could not afford a full-time person to administer Perforce, explained Jimil Borillo, Manager of Information Technology for Gazillion Entertainment. With Perforces help we were able to boost our server performance which otherwise would have taken us much longer due to our limited in-house expertise and bandwidth.

How Perforce Remote Administration Works

Perforce Remote Administration is offered as a monthly subscription service, allowing customers as much or as little access to Perforce administrators as desired.

After Perforce conducts a site assessment, the Perforce Server Deployment Package is installed on the customers Perforce Server machine. Perforce experts then perform tasks such as verifying daily backups and proactively analyzing server logs for performance issues. They also work with customers IT teams to perform Perforce administration tasks such as:

Managing and coordinating upgrades of Perforce servers in the organization.
Gathering and refining requirements to design, develop, and deploy new triggers.
Creating and managing users, groups, and access controls.
Supporting major restructuring operations, such as Perforce server instance consolidation and depot splitting.
Reviewing Perforce usage patterns and recommending improvements.
Designing and implementing high availability/disaster recovery solutions.

Like Gazillion Entertainment, many of our customers installations grow over time and require some fine-tuning to ensure top SCM performance, said Tony Vinayak, Manager of Consulting Services for Perforce Software. It makes more financial sense for some companies to supplement their IT Team with our SCM expertise and relying on us gives them peace-of-mind so they can focus on their core business.

Incognito Software Announces General Availability of Auto Configuration Server 2.0

Vancouver, B.C. (PRWEB) June 28, 2012

Incognito Software, a global provider of broadband software provisioning and activation solutions, today announced the general availability of Auto Configuration Server 2.0. This new device management software incorporates a highly reliable automation solution that supports a wide number of access networks, such as PON, DOCSIS, ADSL, WiMAX, and more, all without sacrificing performance.

By using Incognitos Auto Configuration Server 2.0, telecom and cable providers can now monitor and regulate subscriber device thresholds based on a wide range of reporting parameters, from amount of bandwidth used to average session time. As a result, an almost endless array of customized reports can be instantly generated whenever needed without the concern that performance will be impacted.

As the number of TR-069 enabled customer devices reached more than 147 million this past year, an increasing number of cable operators have embraced this protocol which had previously been used almost exclusively by the telecom industry for provisioning and managing residential gateways. Incognito Auto Configuration Server 2.0 utilizes TR-069 to facilitate zero-touch provisioning and management of WiMAX networks, DOCSIS gateways, VoIP equipment, WiFi access points, and IPTV deployments to help both cable and telecom providers decrease operational costs by minimizing truck rollouts and accelerate time-to-revenue for new service deployments.

TR-069 based devices can additionally be quickly provisioned to support an extensive array of services, such as WiFi management, parental controls, VoIP, storage, IPTV, and more. As a result of Incognitos TR-069 Open Interop Program, which was created in October 2011 and assists providers in determining whether they adhere to the basic TR-069 standard as defined by the Broadband Forum, Incognito supports nearly every TR-069 based device currently on the market.

From a subscriber standpoint, Incognitos Auto Configuration Server 2.0 also offers the added benefit of device backup and restore, which allows operators to automatically replicate settings in a subscribers replacement device. With the ability to add a user-friendly online portal, subscribers can now obtain detailed information regarding both their account terms and their existing network devices to offer an added level of visibility and control.

Service providers are quickly realizing that they need to expand their service offerings in order to retain their existing subscribers while also attracting new ones, said Stephane Bourque, president and CEO of Incognito Software. Auto Configuration Server 2.0 provides a suite of new features alongside our market-proven automation software to help alleviate these industry challenges and help our customers build new revenue streams.
