Network Engines has announced availability of a server appliance offered by Ipsum Networks that identifies the root cause of Layer 3 problems across enterprise networks and monitors the impact on application flow path availability. Engineered and manufactured by Network Engines, a leading development, manufacturing and distribution partner for storage and security software and equipment providers, and sold by Ipsum Networks, the Route Dynamics product suite is the first server appliance solution to deliver real-time automated root cause analysis of complex and costly IP routing faults.

The Route Dynamics appliance is a stand-alone unit that can be installed quickly and easily into an enterprise environment to improve availability of network resources. The appliance puts automated fault and root cause capabilities into the hands of network technicians, allowing rapid resolution of IP routing faults and ensuring higher application and service availability.

"We believe a server appliance offers the best method to achieve rapid deployment of new applications for mission-critical requirements. It not only provides Ipsum with a beneficial differentiation, it also lowers total cost of ownership for their customers."
