According to a recent announcement by automated network performance monitoring software provider PathSolutions, Automated Voice and Data Solutions ('AVDS') has selected its Total Network Visibility suite of products to provide innovative assessment and monitoring solutions to improve network performance and reliability for its enterprise and SMB customers.

"From SMB to large enterprises, our customers rely on their networks to provide the very best in voice, video, and data communications," said Michael Lavespere, AVDS vice president of operations, in a statement. "PathSolutions' Total Network Visibility Suite has been invaluable in both sales and pre-deployment network assessments. Before we licensed PathSolutions, we invested nearly 60 staff-hours per month on network troubleshooting, often finding that the issues were in the customer's equipment, and not in our technology. That time that it now takes to perform these assessments has been reduced many times over-- all due to the automated nature of the PathSolutions technology. And best of all, it eliminates any finger-pointing, and allows us to work even closer with our customers."

With PathSolutions Total Network Visibility Suite, AVDS will expect to reduce network performance troubleshooting costs to a fraction of its previous amount. Its solutions for VoIP and data networks act as the network's eyes and ears, automatically monitoring the health and performance of every switch, router, server, and link in data or VoIP networks of any size. Moreover, it also identifies where and why a VoIP call went bad, and then recommends a fix.

"We are pleased to partner with an established and well-respected provider like AVDS," said Tim Titus, CTO of PathSolutions. "It is a company that has a reputation for providing the most up-to-date and cost-effective solutions for its customers. As more applications, such as Voice over IP (VoIP) and video, traverse customer networks, there is an escalating need for efficient monitoring and trouble resolution to ensure that providers continue to satisfy the needs of their customers. The Total Network Visibility suite gives organizations like AVDS the necessary resources to easily discover and resolve network issues that impede voice quality and network performance, and keep the infrastructure performing at the highest level."
