Skyline Communications announces next generation multi-vendor network management solutions

Skyline Communications,  is bringing an exclusive preview to IBC 2008 of its next generation DataMiner solutions.  Center piece of this next generation solution is a brand new user interface, designated DataMiner Cube, featuring an innovative and ground-breaking user-centric design.  DataMiner Cube is expected to redefine the way operators can manage complex operational ecosystems, and will set a new benchmark for intuitive and efficient network management.  Alongside DataMiner Cube, Skyline Communications is also showcasing DataMiner Customer Premises Equipment Manager (DMS-CPE), a new cutting-edge professional software platform, specifically designed for advanced management of very high volumes of CPE devices, such as cable or DSL modems, embedded multimedia terminal adapters (eMTAs) and set-top-boxes (STB) in both telco, HFC, FTTH and satellite environments.

 “The past year has been very exciting for us, because a record number of leading corporations made the decision to deploy our open DataMiner end-to-end network management platform.  This includes amongst other Broadcast Australia, Czech Television, ENEX, Gateway Communications, M6, MTV, Overon, Roshan, RTL-TVI,   Stratos Global, TelstraClear, TVE, UPC, etc.” commented Ben Vandenberghe, Sales & Marketing Director at Skyline Communications. “But aside from the many customer wins, we were also very pleased to see that the existing customer base continuously expands the scope of their DataMiner Network Management platforms.  Consolidating operations, accelerating business, that’s what DataMiner is all about.  And today we have some very impressive implementations out there, ranging from solutions that literally wrap around the world, and provide an unprecedented consolidated overview of global operations, to solutions that manage the most complex digital interactive service environments more intelligently than ever before. ”

“Today, DataMiner is one of the most widely deployed open multi-vendor network management platforms in the industry, and it is continuously gaining momentum mainly based on its merits as being a very open, powerful and yet still intuitive and easy-to-use solution, with a very appealing total cost of ownership tag,” added Bert Vandenberghe, Software R&D Director at Skyline Communications. “DataMiner is a state-of-art multi-vendor network management platform, and DataMiner Cube underlines our commitment to our customers and business partners that they will continue to dispose of the best that technology can offer.  To some people it may come as a bit of a surprise that we went back to the drawing board, as our current generation of UIs is already ranked at the top.  But this is all about being prepared for the future, and assuring that our customers can continue to operate more and more efficiently even while their technical ecosystems become more and more complex.  While preserving the qualities of the existing UI, and by leveraging the latest technologies, DataMiner Cube embodies an entirely new, highly innovative and above all user-centric approach on the end-to-end management of complex technological ecosystems.  We spent a massive amount of resources in researching UI techniques and scrutinizing the seemingly most trivial aspects, and it has paid off.  You need to experience DataMiner Cube in order to fully comprehend what it is all about, but DataMiner Cube is truly going to change the way people look at managing the most complex ecosystems. And IBC2008 is a unique opportunity for operators to get a sneak preview.”
