[VoIP QoS Testing and Diagnostics]
Shomiti Systems To Introduce New Quality of Service Voice Over IP Product
August 31, 1999
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE) via
NewsEdge Corporation --
Shomiti's "Multi-QoS" To Measure and Meter
Multimedia
Streams on 10/100/1000 Networks
Shomiti Systems, the technology leader in the
distributed analysis, testing, and monitoring of
mission-critical 10/100/1000 Ethernet networks,
today introduced their new VOIP product,
Multi-QoS, giving companies the ability to analyze
voice traffic over Ethernet-based IP networks while
validating QoS parameters presented by PSTN/IP
Gateways, IP switches, and IPBXs. Multi-QoS is
targeted at carriers, equipment manufacturers and
enterprise customers to help them analyze their
networks to ensure the peak performance of their
real-time multi-media applications.
Multi-QoS, is a plug-in application to Shomiti's
Surveyor software, Surveyor 3.0. This plug-in is the
first of its kind to capture and decode the complete
H.323 family of protocols and provides unrivaled
detail and accuracy for measuring and metering
multi-media (voice, video, data) streams on
10/100/1000 Ethernet networks. Multi-QoS provides
the tools necessary to test and validate IP networks
that carry voice.
"With the advent of multimedia on IP networks, it is
imperative to know what to measure, how to
measure it, and what sensitivity of each
measurement is to QoS for each network segment,
call and channel," said President and CEO Bill
Shaw. "With our new product Multi-QoS, we give
Network Administrators the tool to effectively
provision their network and service their customers.
"
Quality of Service is a major challenge for Voice over
IP deployment, so it is very important to present
measurable, quantitative parameters of Voice over IP
transmission quality. Leveraged by the existing
full-line rate capture of Shomiti hardware, Multi-QoS,
the plug-in module for Surveyor 3.0 turns a
general-purpose protocol analyzer into an effective
tool to measure Quality of Service, addressing one
of the most critical issues in converging Datacom
and Telecom industries.
Product pricing for the Multi-QoS plug-in maintains
Shomiti's reputation as the industry's
price/performance leader with costs ranging between
$3,000 and $4,000. Complete product pricing will be
announced in late September.
Shomiti will demonstrate its Multi-QoS product at
NetWorld +Interop's Voice Over IP Day conference
Sept. 16, 1999 in Atlanta, GA where Shomiti is also
a major sponsor. The Voice Over IP Day conference
is a unique, one-day program sponsored by
NetWorld + Interop which focuses on the knowledge
and the tools needed to successfully integrate Data
and Voice traffic over the same infrastructure. Slated
for beta testing the end of August, and first
customer delivery in late September, this new
product continues Shomiti's technology leadership
in the complete monitoring and analysis of
distributed, heterogeneous Ethernet networks.
