Cox Selects Cariden's Network Planning Tool

Cariden Technologies has announced that Cox Communications has selected Cariden Mate as its primary network engineering tool for supporting data management functions of day-to-day operations. Cox has chosen Cariden Mate because of its ability to support planning, engineering and operational workflows with unmatched visibility into the network.



Cariden Mate is being used to analyze and confirm that existing and proposed network designs can withstand a variety of network component failures without causing any impact to client services. Mate is also being used to provide visibility into the network's MPLS paths and statistics, allowing engineers to understand end-to-end traffic patterns and find unexpected contributors to traffic spikes. Coupled with Mate's ability to report historical traffic patterns across the entire network, this functionality allows Cox to make informed technical and financial decisions for infrastructure enhancements.
