Enterprise: Multiplay

See (and Hear) For Yourself...

Can we guarantee real-time video quality?

Can the WLAN support VoIP traffic?

How do we know what remote users are experiencing?

VoIP, videoconferencing, unified messaging, and other "multiplay" services stand to save enterprises millions on travel, training, communications services and other business operations—when they perform as promised. These real-time applications are increasingly being rolled out over wireless and cloud-based infrastructures, making sub-par performance even more intolerable and harder to pinpoint.

To keep projects from encountering costly setbacks that offset efficiency gains, IT executives must evaluate:

• Whether existing networks are ready to support real-time voice and video
• How competing VoIP and IP video solutions will perform under live conditions
• The compatibility of IP-based systems with existing voice, data, and video networks
• Performance across specific links and access technologies

Ixia: Demonstrating and Delivering Value

Where data sheets from vendors and service providers typically describe ideal conditions, Ixia's Multiplay Service assessments simulate your company's real-world networking environment for a true picture of performance and potential problem spots. We generate thousands of calls and sessions between sites to assess readiness and help tailor deployment strategies that meet the needs of individual sites and services.

Our scalable solutions include:

• Measuring the impact of latency and other impairments on application performance
• Assessing VPN performance between sites
• Benchmarking equipment performance and vendor interoperability
• Defining quality of service (QoS) and SLA compliance requirements
• Evaluating voice over wireless LAN (VoWLAN) quality
• Measuring voice quality and quality of video (QoV) from the user perspective

Ixia solutions equip enterprise IT and business unit leaders to assess the efficiency gains and potential benefits of investing in Wi-Fi, 40/100GE deployments, and other technologies that extend the reach and scalability of multiplay services. We'll help devise rollout strategies that ensure deployments occur on time and on budget and meet goals for operational excellence out of the gate.
