Finisar, Telchemy Announce Partnership For
Real-Time VoIP Diagnostic Technology
Finisar Corporation announced that
it has entered into an agreement with Telchemy
for Telchemy to provide VoIP diagnostic technology for Finisar's
line of VoIP Monitoring and Analysis products. Telchemy's patent-pending
real-time technology automatically provides critical
insight into
the root cause and location of network impairments affecting VoIP network
quality.
"We are very pleased that Finisar, a recognized leader in network
and
protocol analysis, is extending their relationship with us for VoIP
management technology," said Bob Massad, Vice President of Marketing
at
Telchemy. "Finisar's endorsement of our technology demonstrates its
powerful
capability and how important it is for network and service managers to
have
active assistance and direction from their management tools and not to
have
those tools simply provide more data," added Massad.
Telchemy's real-time expert analysis technology monitors streams of
voice or
video packets and recognizes the signatures of specific
network
impairments such as LAN congestion or route flapping in real time. This
saves network and service managers from countless hours of data
interpretation and trial and error problem solving to find
what are often
transient network problems The real-time analysis
technology is an
extension to VQmon, Telchemy's non-intrusive voice quality monitoring
technology that is used in Finisar's MultiQoS multimedia
traffic analysis product. VQmon is a family of lightweight,
computationally
efficient, embedded voice quality software agents that can accurately
monitor all calls made over V2oIP networks in real-time.
"We understand that network and service Managers want to know if
there is a
problem, what it is, where it is, and how to fix it -- immediately,"
said Bob
Otis, Vice President of Engineering for Finisar. "They have real
concerns
about VoIP session quality as they roll-out consolidated multimedia
networks. They require tools to help them get those networks up quickly
and
keep them up, at high quality of service, with minimum cost and
difficulty.
By adding Telchemy's unique technologies to our MultiQoS tool, we
powerfully
augment our current rich set of capabilities satisfying these requirements
of multimedia network managers." Added Otis, "We look forward to
our
partnership with Telchemy, leading to a series of significant new product
enhancements related to both Voice and Video over IP."
With addition of Telchemy technology, Finisar extends its lead in the
technology of monitoring and measuring VoIP network Quality of Service.
The
Finisar THGs family of full-line rate data acquisition tools and Surveyor
Network Analysis software provides the VoIP protocol and network analysis
capability, enhanced by call QoS metrics from VQmon.
