IP Infusion and Interpeak Announce Strategic Alliance

IP Infusion, the leading provider of intelligent network software for enhanced IP services platforms, and Interpeak, a pioneer of Internet and secure networking software for network infrastructure and wireless equipment, today announced a strategic alliance enabling IP Infusion as a value-added reseller of Interpeak's complete product line bundled with IP Infusion's software modules.

In addition to IP Infusion's Advanced Routing Suite (ARS) and Hardware Integration Platform (HIP) products, IP Infusion customers, through this partnership, have access to a full suite of integrated software protocols including TCP/IP stacks, security applications, VPN solutions, and Mobile IP solutions. IP Infusion will integrate its products with Interpeak's IPComm integration layer to ensure seamless, out-of-the-box compatibility and manageability for all Interpeak products via the IP Infusion management layer.

"Interpeak and IP Infusion's product lines provide synergistic features and functions that allow us to offer a comprehensive set of solutions for SOHO, enterprise and metro networking solutions," commented Perry Constantine, President and CEO of IP Infusion. "Customers increasingly require dual-mode products that support both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, in addition to technologies such as security, advanced routing/switching, and wireless capabilities. The integration of Interpeak's protocols enables us to satisfy all requests, from simple to complex design requirements."

"Interpeak and IP Infusion have been driving the adoption of IPv6-compliant protocols with Interpeak's highly optimized and scalable IPNET TCP/IP stack for over three years," said Johan Forneus, Interpeak's CEO. "This strategic alliance solidifies our working relationship, benefits customers and ultimately enhances our products, as IP Infusion can offer its customers a more robust portfolio of high-quality networking software stacks."

With this alliance customers can take advantage of Interpeak's advanced IPNET stack and IP Infusion's full protocol stack. With IPNET, customers can now add to existing or new products a full complement of advanced switching and routing features such as a dual IPv4/IPv6 stack, routing, MPLS, multicast, virtual routers, layer-two switching, full QoS, end-to-end security, L2 and L3 VPN support and much more, thanks to IPNET's support of these technologies in one compact and scalable forwarding engine.
