- In April 2003, Ipsum Networks raised $6 million in Series B funding for its development of IP management solutions that assure application infrastructure availability. Ipsum’s Route Dynamics solution monitors the network’s routing protocols to provide a real-time, Layer 3 view of IP network operations. Ipsum said its solution delivers a picture of the logical health of a routed network, which can lead to improved service availability, operational efficiency, fault detection and prevention. The new funding was led by Rho Ventures of New York City, along with participation by Ipsum’s original investor, Sevin Rosen Funds.
Ipsum Networks was co-founded by Dr. Roch Guerin, who is the Alfred Fitler Moore Professor of Telecommunication Networks at the University of Pennsylvania and also serves on the Scientific Advisory Boards of France Telecom and Samsung, and Dr. Raju Rajan, who previously spearheaded the development of a policy based network management system for IP QoS at AT&T Labs.
