NetScout 01920 Select VoIP License
The worlds of voice and data networks are colliding with the continued growing adoption of Voice over IP (VoIP). Assessing and managing VoIP presents an entirely different set of challenges than monitoring traditional data applications. For enterprises, there is a huge difference between an email taking 15 seconds to be sent and not being able to place or receive telephone calls.
Select VoIP is the only solution on the market that provides real time remote VoIP monitoring for any to any calls that is time synchronized with the network and application data flowing in and out of the locations.
By monitoring site level calls, Select VoIP can provide the following for each location:
- Concurrent call volume
- Round Trip Delay
- Jitter
- Network Packet Loss
- Jitter Packet Discard
Deep Visibility for Optimized VoIP Performance and Management
Deploying, managing and troubleshooting VoIP presents IT managers with an entirely new set of challenges while raising the stakes on network performance and reliability. Select VoIP provides enterprises with the visibility into individual VoIP calls and network traffic required to successfully assess and deploy VoIP across a converged network.
Monitor Site-to-site VoIP Performance
VoIP deployments frequently cause major management headaches for enterprises used to traditional hub-and-spoke traffic flows because users at remote sites can communicate directly with one another without information flowing through the headquarters location. Visual Performance Manager provides a cost effective solution for managing VoIP as well as data applications across the entire network infrastructure.
With ASE's deployed at remote sites, you can gain visibility into every VoIP call traversing your network. What is impairing VoIP call quality? Select VoIP displays degradation factors for each site, allowing administrators to understand the extent to which jitter, codec loss, packet loss and delay are impacting performance on a per-site basis. This helps administrators rapidly pinpoint those problems with the most bearing on performance. Additionally, for every circuit on your network, Select VoIP provides detailed reports on current VoIP trends such as a MOS distribution by hour per site, sites with most or worst VoIP calls and overall VoIP performance reports.
What is Impairing VoIP Call Quality?
Visual UpTime Select provides easy-to-use information about issues that are impairing the performance of your VoIP network. Select VoIP displays degradation factors for each site, allowing administrators to understand the extent to which jitter, codec loss, packet loss and delay are impacting performance on a per-site basis. This helps administrators rapidly pinpoint those problems with the most bearing on performance. Additionally, for every circuit on your network, Select VoIP provides detailed reports on current VoIP trends, such as a mean opinion score (MOS) distribution by hour per site, sites with most or worst VoIP calls, and overall VoIP performance reports
Manage VoIP, Data Resource Competition
Most enterprises cannot build a new network infrastructure to support VoIP deployment. Instead, VoIP is added to the existing data network. This can cause issues for existing business-critical data applications such as customer relationship management (CRM) or enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Visual UpTime Select allows enterprises to discover the level and nature of competing application traffic and take proactive steps to avoid a disruption in service.
The Details
VoIP (SKU 01920) is typically sold as an enhancement to the Network and Application software modules with every Analysis Service Element (ASE), OmniPoint installation, and Select Software module, per site, where VoIP has been rolled out or where it will be rolled out. For a complete view from layer 1 to 7 with VoIP real time visibility, combine either the Back-in-Time software module, or other software modules. Adding additional software modules allows for deeper integration with TruView and Visual Performance Manager and your service desk.
