TOKYO, April 19, 2023 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

Network performance matters to HOTnet which deployed Accedian Skylight(TM)

active monitoring to ensure customers are getting the best possible network

service quality

Accedian [https://accedian.com/], a leader in performance analytics,

cybersecurity threat detection, and end-user experience solutions, today

announced that Hokkaido Telecommunication Network Co.

[https://www.hotnet.co.jp/] (HOTnet) has deployed its Skylight(TM) active

performance monitoring to provide accurate visibility into its Wide Area

Ethernet service and maintain network stability.

Service availability, network resiliency, and user experience are top concerns

for customers in Japan where more people rely on seamless connectivity for

business and daily life. Working with a local partner, NEC Networks & System

Integration Corporation [https://www.nesic.co.jp/english/] (NESIC), Accedian

Skylight is being deployed to monitor HOTnet's business-critical Ethernet

services connecting large offices, cities, and sites. Accedian Skylight

software sensors provide highly precise KPIs of network performance with

real-time visibility on services and service level agreement (SLAs) thresholds.

This is a first level of visibility in the journey towards Skylight advanced

performance analytics and insights which helps enable fully automated

zero-touch assurance.

HOTnet is a Japanese regional provider of high quality and secure

communications services in the Hokkaido region. HOTnet selected Accedian

Skylight for its carrier-grade granularity and ability to pinpoint network

issues including 'hidden' microbursts that can be difficult to detect in

complex, multi-vendor networks. Additional selection criteria included

Skylight's ultra-compact and efficient monitoring device, a smart SFP device or

Skylight SFP compute sensor, and the ability to detect and resolve issues

before customers are impacted.

"At HOTnet, we build highly reliable networks with a strong focus on the

quality of experience for our customers. This is why we are upgrading to the

Accedian Skylight granular network monitoring solution which enables us to

monitor and test service quality at an even higher level of precision and

deliver the best network performance in the region," says Tomohiro Nakata,

Director and General Manager of Engineering Department at HOTnet.

Koichiro Seto, Accedian's vice president of sales and country manager for

Japan, added "The real value of Accedian Skylight is accurate visibility into

service provider networks, services, and real-time end-user experience. Do all

your customers have service? What is their service level? We provide these

answers with granular, millisecond-level active and passive monitoring which we

can deliver at the speed and scale that multi-vendor carrier networks require."
