• Leverage Cisco® IP SLAs
• Perform non-intrusive performance monitoring
• Collect critical VoIP quality of service metrics, such as MOS, jitter, network latency, and packet loss

Orion VoIP Monitor uses Cisco's IP SLAs to collect network performance statistics, without intruding on voice calls. These statistics include MOS, jitter, network latency, packet loss and other important QoS metrics that provide detailed visibility into VoIP performance. Even better, the Orion Web console offers a unified view of overall network health as it relates to VoIP performance, as well as a one-stop shop for alerts and reporting.

Other solutions attempt to measure VoIP quality in a "reactive" fashion by tracking end user phone calls from a span port on a switch. Not only is this a privacy concern for many organizations, but a local switch port is a poor location to gather network-wide VoIP quality metrics. In contrast, VoIP Monitor's approach eliminates security concerns and offers a more effective solution for gathering data indicative of VoIP quality and performance.

"We look forward to rolling out the new Orion VoIP Module and expect it to have the same immediate value we experienced with our other SolarWinds products."
