Unlike traditional phone systems, VoIP networks require hands-on management to ensure call quality and reliability. But until Qovia, there were few tools available to control these complex networks. So businesses that have deployed VoIP pilot programs are stuck there, as the lack of proper management tools prevents them from scaling VoIP across the enterprise. For others that have gone ahead without, operating costs have been quite high, leading to poor ROI. Qovia observed that management tools are vital to deploying VoIP networks broadly so that businesses can reap the benefits of this promising technology. |

|
In their bid to deliver the first management solution designed specifically for VoIP networks, Qovia faced many development challenges. The plan called for an integrated hardware/software solution to enable virtual management and more cost-efficient operations. To meet the needs for a variety of network environments, Qovia wanted a highly versatile, scalable system. Meanwhile, Qovia's customers require a strong price-performance value, which means Qovia had to keep development costs low. And let's not forget time to market; Qovia needed a speedy development cycle to ensure a competitive advantage. |
|
|
Qovia met its hardware design goals with two important tactics. First, Qovia selected a single processing architecture — Intel® network processors — for all of its appliances. This enables Qovia to develop only one software application to run on several platforms. It also allows for design reuse, saving development work on multiple appliances. Second, Qovia chose to outsource hardware design and production to ADI Engineering, already expert in developing solutions with Intel network processors and well along in the development of reference designs that closely matched Qovia's concept. This allowed Qovia to eliminate a lot of conceptual design work that would otherwise increase costs and slow time to market. |
|
|
Choosing Intel network processors and ADI Engineering helped Qovia cut nearly a year off their time to market. Which means Qovia's unique management system is one of the first VoIP-specific solutions to reach customers eager to adopt this hot new technology. Qovia's unique array of VoIP monitoring and management tools are now helping businesses move from pilot phase to full-blown deployment, quickly realizing the benefits of VoIP technology including improved communications, increased productivity, and lower telecommunications costs. |
