EXFO Inc. has purchased the assets of privately-held software company ByteSphere LLC, which focuses on global IT management and network monitoring.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. According to EXFO, ByteSphere’s portfolio includes “advanced patented techniques for infrastructure performance management, including network element polling and fault management” and are used by some Tier-1 network operators and large global companies.
EXFO bought the assets and intellectual property rights to complement its BrixWorx service assurance series and expand its capabilities in network performance management for infrastructure monitoring.
The company said that the combination of network monitoring with its service assurance offering “provides unprecedented, real-time correlation between network element performance metrics and probe-based service performance metrics, positioning EXFO to drive the value of this raw data into correlated and actionable events for customers through advanced analytics and visualization.”
Germain Lamonde, who is chairman, president and CEO of EXFO, called the acquisition “very synergistic with our total solutions offering in service assurance and network performance management, especially in critical areas like small cells, wireless backhaul and metro Ethernet.”
