Network management systems provider, Torokina Networks has
launched a free VoIP readiness assessment for clients considering a switch to
IP Telephony.
Ensuring a successful roll-out of Voice over IP mandates a
solid network infrastructure. Understanding exactly what impact a production
VoIP environment might have on your data network can be a challenge and
Torokina says few organisations really understand their technical environment
to the point where a successful rollout of VoIP can be assured.
This lack of understanding causes many potential corporate
VoIP users to remain skeptical, who in turn are hesitant to entrust the core
communication channel with clients to VoIP, says the company.
"As an independent expert in network management systems, we
are not a provider of IP telephony or VoIP" said Peter von Dietze, Head of
sales at Torokina. "As such we can offer an unbiased opinion on the readiness
of a clients network and associated IT environment for a VoIP implementation,
prior to actual roll out"
"Our free VoIP readiness assessment is a component of a
larger offering Torokina has in managing VoIP and IP Telephony environments,
said David burns, head of Integration at Torokina. ‘We see too many clients looking
for management solutions after having already implemented a VoIP environment,
where the business units are questioning reliability and quality.
"A quality VoIP deployment really needs three components,
Initial readiness assessment, a solid VoIP security policy, and ongoing
performance management of both the network, and IP Telephony components. The
Torokina solution for VoIP and IP Telephony covers all three aspects"
"Torokina's assessment uses simulated voice traffic flowing
through the network between endpoints, and produces information on core
metrics, such as latency, jitter, and MOS values. This allows an organization
to understand the environments capabilities at different times, and under
different work loads. This is a critical pre-deployment requirement that is all
too often overlooked." said Burns.
