We introduced Metric Optimization, a one-of-a-kind software for IP TE, in 2002. The technology won us many accolades as a scientific feat that had been judged impossible before. The product was adopted by engineering organizations with a mandate to achieve efficiency and a desire not to complicate network operations.

Cariden became profitable in 2003.

By 2005, MATE was deployed by many of the largest carriers in the world.

In 2007, we introduced another one-of-a-kind software. The MATE Visualization Package is a marvel of simplicity. It provides network visibility in a streamlined, and highly affordable manner, "out of the box".

Philosophy
The desire to build practical tools has guided us in every turn:

• We invested in developing IP TE, even when the prevailing belief was that MPLS TE is inevitable, because our engineer customers asked for ways to keep things simple.

• We conceived of Failover Matrices because we recognized that the crux of capacity planning for BGP peering links is in accessing information in the peers' networks, not simply an emulation of RFC 1771.

• We focused on making our software faster, smaller, and less expensive over time because our job is to make engineers' jobs easier, not to burden them with yet another unwieldly system to maintain.
