Superna is a privately held software company based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The company's main focus and knowledge is with optical networking and storage networking interoperability. The company has offices in Ottawa as well as in Timisoara, Romania.
About
Superna solutions are used to plan, secure, and qualify the interoperability of storage area networks. Although the company's main focus is on optical networking and storage networking interoperability, the company also has expertise in software product development, OEM products, and custom developed applications. Superna has built applications for various optical network providers in these areas:
- Element management systems
- Network management applications
- Optical network power balancing systems
- Optical storage area networking and interoperability
- Optical network planning systems
- Wireless planning systems
- Integration of geospatial technologies in managing networks
- Developing mediation adapters based on TL-1, SNMP, or CLI protocol for optical and storage network devices
- Integration of event correlation and analysis with northbound systems and protocols
- Oracle, MySQL integration and applications
- Web-based frameworks such as SOAP
- Java and .NET development
Superna customers include telecommunications and storage equipment manufacturers, as well as telecommunications service providers.
Encryption Key Management
Superna's Network Security Portal allows enterprises to lease encryption equipment while still maintaining visibility and control over their encryption keys. This solution can also integrate enterprise-wide key management products to allow end-to-end solutions from data at rest to data in flight. The Network Security Portal is used by service providers, allowing them to offer encryption as a service. It is also used by equipment vendors, who can brand and customize it to enable new services on their product platforms. The Network Security Portal can split network security management and monitoring tasks between the enterprise and the service provider. It is designed to solve network security challenges.
SAN Testing
Superna has support in network technologies including distance storage interoperability, network security, WAN optimization, optical network modeling, and the development of network management systems. Superna has invested to build a facility for product verification and certification, which is used by network equipment manufacturers to qualify their products and undertake performance and verification testing during equipment release cycles. The facility is also used by Superna developers to test the company's own software product solutions. Test facilities include EMC storage arrays, servers, Brocade and Cisco fibre channel switches, optical and Ethernet devices, and fibre optics to generate distance. Superna has a partnership with EMC and Brocade on storage interoperability and in the development of solutions and applications that are used to extend storage over distance.
Network Planning
Superna offers a product called SupernaNET, a set of applications that can help service providers and enterprises plan and deploy their optical networks. SupernaNET has automated planning functions to assist with optical network link budget and engineering, optical network virtual simulators with scaling capability that are used to model network conditions and events in support of platform and software development and operation, and optical device mediation and root cause analysis support for EMC Ionix. The software architecture includes a web services model integrated with geospatial technology from Google Maps and Autodesk MapGuide. The Optical Network Plug-In for EMC Ionix collects data and provides a root-cause correlation capability to resolve network issues. It can be run as either a web-based application or as a plug-in integrated into the EMC Ionix Service Assurance Manager. The Network Planning Engine is a web- or API-based optical network planning tool used to engineer networks. It can be run standalone or integrated with other network link-budget engineering tools. The Cloud Simulator is a virtual appliance that simulates large-scale optical networks, providing a means of planning and testing network modifications before implementing them. It can also be used to quickly launch large-scale networks to simulate actual optical network deployment and provide a simple method to replicate customer support cases.
Partners
Superna works with a number of different information communication technology innovators:
- EMC
- Brocade
- VMware
- HP
- Autodesk
- MySQL
Superna is part of the Microsoft Developer Network. It is also a member of GITA.
