The USP of Menara's flagship product, Tunable DWDM XFP with optional OTN Framer and FEC, was its ability to completely eliminate DWDM transponder shelves by being directly-pluggable into ports on EXISTING Routers and Switches. By being pluggable, it also eliminated the need to install new racks to support new transponders and related components, thereby reducing equipment footprint and driving down real estate costs for installations. The role of my company, Viswambara Software Systems, in this was as follows:Goal 1: Get the XFP module certified for use in India by the TEC (Telecommunication Engineering Centre) under Government of India. Efficient coordination between Menara professionals in Dallas and our test professionals in India for live tests conducted under the observation of officials from TEC, resulted in the successful certification of Menara XFP for use by Indian telecom carriers. It also resulted in Viswambara Software Systems becoming the sole distributor for XFP in this region.Goal 2: Build an analysis tool to show the estimated cost of a convetional DWDM network with transponders against the same network when it uses Menara XFP, under various parameters. This tool was used to drive successful sales pitches for potential Menara customers.

Here is a testimonial from Manabu Mori, President of Infoseek (2002-2005) and President of Rakuten Research (Since June 2005):Sriram氏は2002年、株式会社インフォシークにシステム開発メンバーとして入社され、その後会社統合のため楽天株式会社に編入されました。インフォシークに入社後は、ブラウザのプラグインソフト（ツールバー）の開発に従事、その後ポータルサイトの根幹である、オリジナルの検索システムの開発にも携わりました。中でも、従来の検索プラットフォームはUNIXベースのものが大半だった中、インテルアーキティクチャーベースのプラットフォームで稼動する検索エンジンを開発したことは、当時画期的な出来事でした。その他では来日以前、ほとんど触れることの無かった日本語も、来日後1年で一般的な漢字はほぼ習得し、メールベースでのコミュニケーションは日本人と変わらないほど成長しました。この驚くべき向上心と、技術力はビジネスにも活かされることと確信しております。楽天リサーチ株式会社　代表取締役社長　森学（元インフォシーク株式会社　代表取締役社長）
