The company will offer the following three Advanced Network Services (ANS) based on the Network Physics NetSensory platform: (i) Ad-hoc, limited duration, BCX ANS engagements to audit or assess a customer's entire application delivery infrastructure with the objective of identifying areas for optimization and improvement; (ii) A long-term BCX ANS engagement to monitor and report on a client's network and application performance and health on a monthly basis; (iii) A long-term BCX ANS engagement with pro-active network and application performance and health monitoring integrated into an automated, trouble-ticketing system to proactively alert support personnel of performance and health problems on the network. These services will all be managed directly from the BCX Services Management Centre (SMC) from where all the required skills and automation will be provided.

"We've been delivering IT solutions based on the products of the world's leading vendors for many years, now," says Andy Brauer, CTO, Business Connexion. "Previously, we've had end-to-end insight into the various components of application performance-but, unlike the NetSensory solution, it was very cumbersome. The Network Physics technology radically extends the scope of the solutions BCX can offer. Moreover, it not only makes it far easier to keep our managed solutions operating at peak efficiency, but also gives us the ability to provide our customers with value-added products and services to optimize their IT infrastructure investments."

"We're pleased to welcome Business Connexion as a Gold Partner reseller," says Kenny Frerichs, president and CEO of Network Physics. "The groundbreaking services that Business Connexion is building on top of the Network Physics technology are just the beginning of a major wave of revenue-generating, high-value service products that are in high demand but low supply. We're excited to partner with a leader such as Business Connexion to broaden the reach of application performance insight around the world."
