WILMINGTON, DE -- (Marketwire) -- 03/12/13 -- SevOne, the leader in IT performance management, today announced that Ritter Communications, a provider of advanced telecommunications services and broadband technologies to businesses and residential customers in north Arkansas and west Tennessee, has implemented SevOne as the platform of choice for complete network monitoring and reporting of its Network Operations Center (NOC).

"The sheer power and flexibility of SevOne is incredible," stated Matt Dalton, Platform Support Lead, Ritter Communications. "We can do anything we want with this platform, and in this industry you don't get to say that too often. SevOne will allow us to continue to provide excellent customer service as Ritter continues to grow."

Ritter Communications is a pioneer in the telecommunications industry with over 100 years in business. The company has grown its business through acquisitions and now serves over 40,000 customers. As a full service communications provider, the company needed an advanced network monitoring platform to keep up with its growth.

After downloading SevOne's free software from sevone.com, Ritter's NOC team was up and running and collecting and analyzing information within minutes. The company was able to immediately realize the flexibility of the SevOne solution, especially seeing the product do things that were not standard with other vendors it had evaluated.

SevOne's network performance management solution is now the platform of choice for Ritter Communications and the SevOne solution now monitors all of its switches and routers on the corporate network, edge and core equipment, and all internal servers. As a service provider, the company is also using SevOne's unique capabilities for multi-tenancy to be able to deliver information about the performance of the infrastructure and services it provides to clients.

"Industry leading telecommunications companies like Ritter use SevOne's powerful IT performance management and reporting solution to scale quickly, provide visibility to end users, maintain service levels and manage bandwidth demands," stated Bill Conners, SVP of Worldwide Sales and Business Development for SevOne.
