| | Vivace delivers with new 320G switch |
 | | Vivace was founded in 1999 and stocked with talent from Cisco, Cascade/Lucent, 3Com, Sun, Nortel, Intel, Paradyne and AT&T. The company set out to develop products that let carriers deliver multiple voice, data and video services - ATM, frame relay, IP, TDM and Ethernet - over a packet-based network, chiefly IP. |
 | | At stake according to Vivace, is potentially an $8 billion to $10 billion market for these ATM or IP/Multi-protocol Label Switching-based multiservice switches that are intended to let carriers support, maintain and increase revenue from existing services, while making a compulsory migration to an IP core. |
 | | Vivace says the ASICs and operating system are the foundation of the QoS and "end-to-end service-level guarantees" the switches provide. |
