What is a Service Delivery Manager?

A Service Delivery Manager is a compact and affordable complement to - or alternative for - an IP Convergence Router and all its required hardware and training. It offers a simpler set-up and operation, yet improves network throughput over congested links.

Service Delivery Managers provide predictable high-quality voice, video and time-sensitive data - including legacy serial data - over IP networks, delivering traffic as reliably as Time-Division Multiplexers.

Finally, Ultra-DNE's PacketAssure Service Delivery Manager uniquely formats IP data to be used with existing deployed encryption devices to provide Type 1 TRANSEC. Together, these features combine into the most versatile and powerful Service Delivery Manager in the tactical network transformation market.

Key benefits to using a Service Delivery Manager:

• Improve service quality and data throughput.
  

- Voice Mean Opinion Score (MOS) improvements up to 12% without data congestion
or up to 50% with data congestion.


• Improve router reliability and availability, even in the event of a Denial of Service (DOS) attack.
  


• Extend life of legacy assets over IP Networks.
  

- Support serial data over IP from 75 bps to 8 Mbps.

- PacketAssure uniquely formats IP data to be used with existing deployed encryption devices.


• Boost Information Assurance for IP Networks by protecting IP header data.

PacketAssure has demonstrated its ability to enhance or replace IP Convergence Routers, bringing 100% call completion rates with toll-quality voice over both standard and secure applications.
