Network Management Strategies for the CIO
Clearwater Networks implements Altera interface
Altera Corporation announced that Clearwater Networks has successfully implemented the Atlantic interface, integrating various networking functions within its quad-gigabit Ethernet hardware reference platform. Altera says its Atlantic interface greatly shortened the development time of this platform, proving that developers, when armed with the right programmable logic technology, can rapidly create complex communications systems involving disparate elements. Clearwater Networks, a developer of next-generation network services processors, designed the reference platform to allow customers of its CNP810SP network services processor to rapidly develop and deploy advanced networking services. Such services include URL-based web switching, SSL acceleration, network address translation (NAT), IPv6 gateways, and content-aware traffic shaping at multigigabit data rates.

Kiwwi selects Clarent for VoIP network
Clarent Corporation, a provider of voice solutions for next generation networks, announced that Kiwwi CEE Holding AG, a telecommunications and Internet company serving Central and Eastern Europe, is using Clarent voice solutions to build out its extensive IP communications network. The Clarent solution replaces a VoIP solution from a large U.S. vendor, which had previously been installed in Kiwwi's network. IDC forecasts that the Eastern European telecom network services market will grow to $17 billion by 2003 -- up from just $8.8 billion in 1998. Kiwwi recently completed the rollout of Clarent softswitches, including the Clarent Command Center, and Clarent Gateways at all 36 of their existing Points of Presence (POPs) in Central-Eastern Europe, and have begun operations in two new countries.
