| The
VoIP Network Performance
|
 |
October, 2006 -- When deploying
VoIP, companies have to face big challenges such as guaranteeing
a high quality of a service and preventing other applications
from being affected by the new VoIP traffic. OPNET uses new
techniques for planning and analysing VoIP. The software uses
the virtual network environment to model the production network,
and considers both bandwidth and QoS parameters. If the simulation
shows that the network is not ready for VoIP, the user can
design a model of a network which is capable of supporting
VoIP. There are two different versions: SP Guru for service
providers and IT Guru for enterprises... |

September 2006 -- "Only
a small amount of performance problems are caused by the network.
Around 90 percent are due to application behavior or combinations
of several factors", says Veiko Graeveling who is responsible
for performance management at Deutsche Post. Especially in
complex multi-tier environments", he says, there is an
almost unlimited number of possible root-causes for bad performance.
For performance analysis, Deutsche Post uses "IT Guru" from

| Sizing
up the NW200: North America's largest network companies saw
collective revenue up 11%, and 70% posted profits. |

April, 2006 --
If we were rating wines instead of network companies, 2005
would go into the books as a fine vintage. Collective revenue
for the Network World 200, the largest North American public
network companies ranked by revenue, was up 11% to $919 billion.
Profits climbed 16% to $82 billion. For the first time, some
70% of the companies were profitable. That's higher than 2004,
when 65% of the companies on the list were in the black. The
norm, over the 12 years of the NW200, typically hovers in the
50% range... |
