WildPackets announced on Thursday that it integrated Telchemy's VQmon/SA into its OmniAnalysis Platform to offer VoIP analysis and call quality monitoring.

 

VQmon/SA will offer in-depth media stream analysis and problem diagnosis of VoIP services for the OmniAnalysis Platform. This will enable WildPackets to better serve enterprise customers that are incorporating voice in their networks.

 

"We selected Telchemy because their widely adopted VQmon technology provides accurate, consistent and detailed performance statistics for Voice," said WildPackets' CEO Mahboud Zabetian in a statement.  "VQmon is firmly established as the leading VoIP analysis technology in the industry."

 

The OmniAnalysis Platform offers network engineers real-time visibility into every part of the network, simultaneously from a single console, including Gigabit, 10/100, 802.11 wireless, VoIP, and WAN links to remote offices. Engineers can use the OmniAnalysis Platform's local capture capabilities, centralized console, distributed engines, and analysis to troubleshoot faults, fix problems, and restore essential services maximizing network uptime and user satisfaction.

 

"We are very pleased to establish a relationship with WildPackets, who have a strong track record of innovation," said Telchemy's president and CEO Alan Clark.  "By integrating VQmon/SA into the OmniAnalysis Platform, WildPackets is extending their ability to perform in-depth VoIP analysis, enabling their customers to quickly identify and resolve problems with new generation services."

 

Network operators and system administrators use Telchemy's VQmon technology to detect, monitor and resolve call quality and network related problems for networked multi-media services, including Voice and Video over IP, IP Centrex, 3G Cellular, Voice over WLAN, and streaming audio/video. Back in December Telchemy had licensed more than 2 million units of its VQmon VoIP performance management software.

  

WildPackets made news last week when it announced that it now supports the Application Performance Index (Apdex) in the WildPackets OmniAnalysis Platform v4.0. In the new release of the WildPackets OmniAnalysis Platform, the company's application analysis expert has been extended to compute Apdex scores for all popular applications and user activities, such as Web surfing, checking e-mail, SQL-based order entry and CRM applications. The resultant index is a score between 0 and 1, with 0 meaning no satisfied users (unacceptable application performance) and 1 meaning that all users are satisfied (excellent application performance).
