Introducing business video and other rich-media
applications in enterprises can help reduce travel costs and improve
business productivity but successful deployment of video, voice and
data collaboration mandates a delivery of a good quality of user
experience. Adding new video, voice and data services radically changes
the demands on the network that not only impacts the quality of
applications but can also greatly increase the complexity of operations.
Typically this includes the need for more qualified personnel to deploy
and operate the solution.

and data applications by providing capabilities that simplify the
deployment of video endpoints, accelerate troubleshooting and enable the
