VOSS Assurance – UC & Collaboration Performance Management

VOSS gives you advanced, actionable business collaboration performance intelligence (also known as performance management) for your UC & collaboration environment. This is also known as UC Assurance single pane of glass.Combine voice quality and service data with log analytics from any source before customizing alerts, thresholds and events into response procedures tailored to your business and processes, with integration into your ticketing system for end to end automation.VOSS Assurance – which can also be described as a set of UC Assurance tools – is extremely useful if you face the following challenges:

  • Your collaboration tools generate a vast amount of data across your company, but you don’t know how to extract and analyze it
  • You’re having issues with certain collaboration tool performance and user experience due to poor tooling and resource management
  • Technologies are managed across multiple disparate systems that don’t talk to each other
  • You receive alerts but you can’t drill down to understand where the problem is, or how to respond, or how to fix the issue

VOSS Assurance is a highly customized and scalable assurance product that just doesn’t just focus on alerting but combines all the data in your UC & collaboration environment giving you one source data to report or alert on. Our powerful correlation engine can extract your data from any source, correlate it and take action on multiple points within the collaboration and application ecosystem. This offers you and your customers to view and analyse overall health, quality and performance. VOSS Assurance incorporates the ability to collect all data within your collaboration environment and index it under a single architecture through a single pane of glass.

The VOSS Assurance suite provides a highly intelligent set of operational support tools to take care of your UC and collaboration performance management.

VOSS Analytics – Meaningful Insight with VOSS Analytics

VOSS Analytics gives powerful business context insights and visibility to drive efficiency and understanding. Integrate with your IT Ops applications with enriched data for intelligence to help you deepen your collaboration service quality, usage, and effectiveness. Drive improved productivity, save money, and support adoption through continual transformation.

Historically, gathering data about service usage, service adoption, user trends, and license consumption has been very challenging in a multi-application UC environment.

VOSS Analytics allows you to quickly retrieve information about users, devices, services, licenses and transactions (including UC license management), through an easy-to-use web-based portal. Administrators can access this single portal to view critical information about their collaboration services, drill down to the details, or export the data for external use with third party billing and analysis tools.

NetFlow – A Deep Network Understanding

NetFlow gives a deep network understanding across performance, usage and degradation areas . Combine with collaboration data across on-premises and cloud deployments for increased fault isolation, user experience, security vulnerabilities and network planning. Visibility across all network traffic and deep root cause analysis with proactive synthetic call flow testing.NetFlow takes streaming telemetry data from the core network devices and conducts packet analysis to give meaningful insight to the source IP, destination IP, port and protocols. With the power of VOSS Assurance’s call quality information, it will identify network congestion and capacity limitations.NetFlow is a network assurance tool that helps you to understand the UC data flows during investigations, and will proactively spot issues with raptor running synthetic tests. Taking home-working, VPNs, cloud and complex on-premises network solutions into account, VOSS helps you understand your voice and your IP solutions, and enables you to speed up fault diagnostic and isolation.With VOSS, you can see traffic flows and types across all cloud, hosted, and enterprise services. By combining your insight into voice quality and experience with network performance, you can easily identify areas of degradation. VOSS empowers you to understand the cause of voice jitter, delay, and hops, in the context of a network. It also combines with raptor for passive call flow testing.
