What is unified communications monitoring?
Unified communications monitoring (UC monitoring) helps ensure that the performance of your video and calls are seamless. A unified communications monitoring tool provides actionable insights across your entire voice, video, and collaboration systems—Cisco, Polycom, LifeSize, Microsoft, and more—and helps keep your systems and services up and running and your users connected, while maintaining a superb network experience.
What is VOIP monitoring?
Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) monitoring uses specific tools to manage the set of technologies used to supply voice communications as well as multimedia encounters over the internet. These technologies can include sending messages via voice, SMS, fax, or voice messaging over the internet by way of broadband services rather than using a traditional phone service. VOIP monitoring encompasses observing and creating records of both the large and small aspects of your VOIP network as they relate to your overall UC monitoring software.
VOIP monitoring tools check any node that is consequential to your entire VOIP system as it pertains to your UC monitoring system. These tools can create reports, generate alerts, and provide resources that allow your enterprise to observe every aspect of your VOIP networks, while improving the quality of service at all times.
How can UC and VOIP monitoring help an organization like yours?
UC and VOIP monitoring help you see all of your voice, video, and collaboration systems, helping you monitor configuration, performance, and capacity.
Today’s UC and VOIP monitoring solutions are complex, hybrid technologies, composed of physical servers, virtual appliances, cloud-based resources, software applications, dedicated endpoints, and a number of other elements operating together across a standard network.
With the hybrid nature of UC and VOIP technologies and new technical components being introduced every day, tracking and managing your unified communications platform is more complex than ever. Yet, the demand and use of these systems have never been greater.
