VoIP - IP Telephony White Papers

Managing and Maintaining VoIP and Enterprise Data Applications: Understanding Key Requirements

Overview In order to succeed in the implementation, management, and monitoring of VoIP and enterprise data applications, network managers need to:

Implement processes to characterize voice and data applications
Characterize applications and upgrades prior to roll out
Understand and assess the network's performance characteristics
Instrument the network with tools that can report on performance by Class of Service
Deploy tools that report on the end-user experience
Have access to real-time visibility into the network to diagnose problems

To maintain a high level of voice and data application performance, an understanding of both the application and the underlying network is key. A network that is fully instrumented, either with customer-owned tools or vendor-provided capabilities, is necessary to ensure that applications perform optimally.
