| Brix Networks' Next-Gen 10-Gigabit IP Service Assurance Platform Brix Networks has today introduced its next-generation, Internet Protocol service assurance platform that scales up to 10-Gigabits and lets network operators monitor the quality of service of their live, IP-based voice and video offerings on an unprecedented scale, while providing critical performance information to decision makers throughout an organization. The new Brix 4100 Verifier family provides real-time monitoring of live customer Voice over Internet Protocol and IP television traffic, and equips network operators with detailed, end-to-end service monitoring capabilities that ensure voice and video service quality with full visibility across transport, signaling, and media performance which allows essential operations and customer care issues to be proactively addressed. By combining active (on-demand) tests with continuous passive (live) service monitoring, the highly integrated Brix System is appropriate for deployment at all phases of the IP service lifecycle, including: pre-deployment network assessment, rollout verification, troubleshooting, ongoing operational monitoring, and service level assurance. Unlike competitive laboratory or pre-deployment tools, the new Brix 4100 family is designed for use in large-scale, production networks. Deployed throughout a provider's network, the Brix 4100 family works together with the company's BrixWorx service assurance correlation and analysis software engine to efficiently monitor, assess, and report on the quality of voice and video traffic at edge or core locations of operational VoIP and IPTV networks. Using the BrixWorx central-site software engine, network operators establish thresholds for various performance metrics to proactively alert operational staff of voice or video quality degradations or service outages. These thresholds can be standardized network-wide or customized for individual locations, depending on business requirements. Additionally, BrixWorx translates, simplifies, and visualizes large amounts of complex IP service performance data into actionable business intelligence, including take-up, retention, and churn rates. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
