VIOLA UPGRADES NETALLY REALTIME

Viola Networks Inc. has upgraded its NetAlly RealTime application, releasing it in version 4.3 NetAlly RealTime manages VoIP implementation and support.

The software’s new capabilities include the integration of IP PBX vendors, reporting of user call quality and better call quality diagnosis.

Viola says NetAlly RealTime now supports Mitel products, and continues to support Cisco Systems Inc.’s Call Manager as well as Innovaphone. NetAlly RealTime delivers statistics including time of call, duration of call, source and destination IP addresses, average delay, average jitter and loss percent.

The enhanced application also imports and aggregates those statistics to report actual call quality by PBX, subnet and users by hour, day, week and month. Viola says these new reports will allow managers to track actual call quality over time and view trends to allow for future capacity planning.

Finally, NetAlly RealTime 4.3 gives dashboard views that let administrators see the status of actual call quality by subnet or IP PBX. The system generates alerts to send emails or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps if the call quality of a subnet or IP PBX falls below threshold values.

Administrators can get details of poorly performing calls to quickly diagnose the cause of voice quality problems.

NetAlly RealTime allows service providers to deliver managed services such as IP Centrex and systems integrators to monitor, assess and troubleshoot voice traffic.

Enterprise customers managing their own networks also can use NetAlly RealTime.
