NetIQ's Vivinet™ Assessor helps you determine quickly and easily how well Voice over IP (VoIP) will work on a network prior to deployment. Before you invest in costly training and pilot deployments, Vivinet Assessor predicts the overall call quality you can expect from the network and generates customizable reports detailing the network's VoIP readiness.

Key Benefits

• Determines if your network can handle VoIP. Evaluates and reports on the network's ability to support VoIP's unique network requirements. Understanding potential problems before they become evident is an essential factor in a successful implementation. Vivinet Assessor enables you to make knowledgeable choices about how to proceed with your VoIP investment and deployment.
• Predicts call quality. Collects network metrics over time to provide you with an accurate prediction of the overall call quality that can be expected once VoIP is deployed. Vivinet Assessor can also create background traffic to simulate the impact of other application traffic on VoIP call quality.
• Builds a network inventory. Saves time by automatically taking an inventory of routers, switches and WAN links to be evaluated by Vivinet Assessor.
• Highlights limitations of current network devices. Provides insights into potential needs for additional or upgraded devices before VoIP deployment by monitoring utilization statistics of current network devices and links.
• Improves planning with predictive modeling. Increases deployment success through "what if" analysis. Upfront modeling narrows the scenarios that you will want to emulate on a live network.
• Provides polished, and customizable, assessment reports. Analyzes results and creates a polished report at the end of the assessment. The report is easily customized and provides a straightforward executive summary that assesses the network's readiness for VoIP, along with detailed results by location for further analysis. Vivinet Assessor reports include information needed to identify potential problem areas.
