ip|engines
Ipanema Technologies
The Ipanema System is comprised of both software and hardware components. The hardware
components are called ip|engines.
ip|engines are self-managed devices installed at edge locations in the WAN
(between the CPE router and the LAN) to deliver locally the multiple features of
the Ipanema System. They require no individual configuration except their IP address.
ip|engines operate under the central control of ip|boss, a component
of the Ipanema Management Software Suite (IMSS).
Using Application Performance Objectives, ip|engines work in real-time to
measure the network’s performance and usage (through Visibility) while maximizing
the available service level for every individual active flow (through Optimization
and Acceleration).
Distributed algorithms enable ip|engines to adapt automatically to real-time
changes that may arise on the network (meshed flows, different types of congestion,
application combinations, etc.). This automated adaptation is also able to adapt
to changes that happen on a larger time scale such as a permanent increase in the
numbers of users on one site, a newly deployed application, the migration of a server
from one datacenter to another, etc.
The Ipanema System can also deliver Optimization, Visibility and Acceleration
functions across sites that are not equipped with physical ip|engines. To
manage such sites, “virtual” ip|engines are configured within ip|boss.
Virtual ip|engines are implemented using software agents instantiated on
physical ip|engines that perform a Tele-Optimization, Tele- Measurement and
Tele-Acceleration function on behalf of such unequipped sites.
All ip|engines communicate with each other and form as such a synchronized
and distributed system.
