Traditional enterprise WAN is expensive and not flexible enough to address today's highly dynamic digital ecosystem. According to a recent survey, 46 percent of enterprises are looking for Hybrid WAN to solve this very problem, which includes the way users communicate with voice. And when they are using voice communications, the quality of the service is critically important when business calls are being carried out. The new SD-WAN Voice Quality Monitoring (VQM) by VeloCloud Networks is the industry's first SD-WAN solution to offer a fully featured VQM capability so organizations can ensure the quality of their call is always first-rate.




The VeloCloud VQM platform allows service providers and enterprises to proactively troubleshoot any issue in the network that might impact critical business voice communications with monitoring and diagnostics tools.

This is accomplished with a passive agent on the VeloCloud Edge that monitors voice calls and quickly identifies if there are any performance issues on the networks of service providers and enterprises. Network managers will have access to high-level metrics to identify specific problems with granular detail. This includes a new VoIP performance management software capable of supporting a wide range of codec technologies so it can measure listening and conversational call quality in R-Factor and MOS (mean opinion score) formats.

“Reliable network and communication services are absolutely critical for businesses to maintain productivity. Additionally, integrated VQM with single click Virtual Service enablement eliminates multiple physical appliances in enterprise branch offices and expensive truckrolls,” said Steve Woo, VP of Products and Co-founder at VeloCloud.

In addition to the monitoring capabilities, VQM delivers fast installation and network resolution of issues before customers are even aware of an impending problem. The service is delivered through the VeloCloud Cloud-Delivered SD-WAN architecture, whether the voice service is on premises or in the cloud.  

Quality of Service (QoS) is an important metric for today's service providers. Ensuring the QoS is the best requires having a comprehensive view of network performance so problems can be identified as quickly as possible for business continuity. The new SD-WAN Voice Quality Monitoring (VQM) by VeloCloud is a timely solution large organizations can use to differentiate the quality of their voice service.

VeloCloud VQM is now available to the more than 300 VeloCloud customers and service providers around the world.
