As WebEx Connects the World Quova Maps It
GeoPoint Data Illustrates Global Activity of On-Demand Collaboration Leader
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. – December 6, 2006 – Quova, Inc., the authority on IP Intelligence and leading provider of Internet geolocation data and services, announced today that WebEx, the leading provider of on-demand collaborative applications, has successfully deployed Quova’s geolocation technology to monitor the performance of its worldwide network and the 50,000 WebEx meetings it supports every day.
Quova’s GeoPoint™ has been incorporated into the WebEx Activity Map, a real-time display of traffic across the WebEx MediaTone Network, a global network specially designed for on-demand collaboration. GeoPoint determines the geographic location of users connecting to the MediaTone network, and this information is displayed across the WebEx Activity Map (http://webex.com/activity-map.html).
"The WebEx Activity Map provides a dramatic graphical representation of our network’s global reach, and Quova’s technology makes it possible," said Gary Griffiths, WebEx vice president of products and operations. "Quova’s longitude/latitude data populates the map in real time, and seeing those dots from Morocco to Colombia to South Africa carries far more customer impact than mere numbers. We also use Quova’s data in a more detailed and granular form as a network management tool, so this partnership has been of great value to us."
"WebEx is the world’s dominant provider of on-demand conferencing solutions, and their leadership is reflected in the innovative way they’re using GeoPoint," said Quova COO Gary Jackson. "By helping them illustrate their global impact, we’re also illustrating the enterprise value and versatility of Quova’s geolocation data, and we’re delighted to be contributing to WebEx’s business success."
