Solana Networks Awarded Best New Product by ASCII Group

Ottawa, Canada, June 19, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Solana Networks, a leading provider of network performance and security monitoring software, today announced that it has been awarded the "Best New Product" award at the ASCII SMB Success Summit event in Chicago, Illinois. This award, presented by The ASCII Group, honors vendors with the most innovative and beneficial solution and is voted on by the MSPs in attendance. With its broad network performance monitoring (NPM) features, affordability, ultra-fast deployment and recognized ease-of-use, SparrowIQ focuses on packet-based traffic analysis specifically for the SMB market.

To date, the majority of MSPs have been monitoring their client’s networks from a pure ‘network element’ perspective which has provided more than adequate service coverage. But with ever more complex networks being architected leveraging cloud-based and real-time applications, traditional tools are not providing the necessary visibility to ensure an optimally performing network and end-user experience. These new services necessitate new tools that can provide insight into bandwidth and network traffic intelligence from a user, device, and application standpoint. SparrowIQ fills this gap and was developed as a complimentary solution to existing endpoint monitoring platforms (RMM software), which traditionally do not have access to network performance metrics.

MSPs attending the ASCII SMB Success Summit in Chicago echoed this sentiment and embraced SparrowIQ as the only solution in the MSP space providing such intelligence in an easy-to-deploy fashion at an affordable price-point.

“It was great to be nominated alongside excellent vendors and to be recognized by 100+ businesses in attendance as having the ‘Best New Product’. I'm looking forward to helping new partners acquired at the event go-to-market with our network performance monitoring solution, and bolster their managed services offerings,” said Danny Obaseki, Director of Business Development.

“Working with Solana Networks furthers the ASCII community's ability to protect their customers against cyber threats. This recognition is duly deserved as similar channels are not affordable for the SMB market,” said Jerry Koutavas, President, The ASCII Group.
