Rockville, Md. (August 2, 2005) [Press Release] —
Visual Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: VNWK), a leading provider of network and
application performance management solutions, today announced a new VoIP
Assessment bundle that VARs and enterprises can easily deploy to manage the
entire
VoIP lifecycle – from pre-assessment to ongoing management. VoIP
Advisor incorporates Visual UpTime® Select™, a modular
solution that provides in-depth, real-time and historical information that
enables enterprises to intelligently manage network availability across the
entire enterprise.
VoIP
Advisor is available exclusively via Visual Network’s VAR partners and has a
promotional retail price of $8,499. It includes two 10/100 Ethernet appliances
with 20 Mbps WAN/LAN analysis, full
Visual UpTime Select software, and the
Visual UpTime Select server. VoIP
Advisor also incorporates the new Visual
Select VoIP MRI™ software module, which is an all-in-one solution for VoIP
lifecycle management. Select VoIP
MRI utilizes actual real-time customer application traffic to assess VoIP
readiness and, once VoIP is deployed, monitors site-to-site traffic to discover
the root cause of VoIP performance problems.
“The VoIP Advisor package provides us a feature-rich, low-cost solution for
VoIP assessments that can be used multiple times in professional services
engagements and leveraged across multiple customers and prospects,” said Randy
Riemersma, President of Parabon Solutions, Inc., a
Visual Networks VAR. “Additionally, we can use VoIP Advisor as a stepping
stone to deploy a complete
Visual UpTime Select solution for enterprises that require ongoing
visibility and insight into VoIP and other important applications.”
VoIP Advisor helps enterprises determine readiness for VoIP by baselining
network usage and delivering in-depth intelligence into existing performance
levels and bandwidth usage at each site. VoIP Advisor determines the number of
VoIP calls that can be supported at each site and measures key performance
metrics such as jitter and delay. For existing VoIP deployments, VoIP Advisor
delivers real-time and historical measurements and reports on key performance
metrics.
“Unlike other VoIP pre-assessment solutions that only provide a static
snapshot of the network at a certain point in time, VoIP Advisor can be utilized
to manage and fine-tune the performance of existing VoIP deployments,” said
Larry Barker, President and CEO of Visual Networks. “VoIP Advisor is a powerful
solution for VARs and their enterprise customers to assess network readiness and
manage the deployment of VoIP — or any other key application.”
