NetIQ Vivinet Assessor

Pre-deployment network assessment for VoIP

NetIQ 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 produces a comprehensive report on your network VoIP readiness.

Why assess your network for VoIP?

Improve planning with predictive modeling, which narrows the scenarios that you will want to emulate on a live network
Determine if your network can handle VoIP by evaluating and reporting on the network's ability to support VoIP's unique network requirements
Predict call quality by collecting network metrics over time, which provides an accurate depiction of overall call quality once VoIP is deployed
Create background traffic to simulate the impact of other application traffic on VoIP call quality
