The Next Generation QoS Assurance
Product Overview

March 2009

The Real Innovation is simple, flexible, and economic

QXManager QoS is an advanced, active and
distributed Network Management System
designed to support Enterprise and Telecom
industries in their migration to the packet
switched IP networks. Voice, Video, Data and
Mobile are converging there and an excellent
End-to-End Quality of Service (QoS) has become
their top priority.

Overview
As overall Solution, QXManager QoS allows you to perform:
yy automatic root-cause troubleshooting and related diagnosis investigation
yy End-to-End Quality of Service/ Quality of Experience
analysis and validation
yy network performance and planning
yy routes and best-route verification
yy intrusion detection
yy multi-system billing
for Voice, Video, Data, signaling and Multimedia services
and over any IP network.

QXManager QoS is based on software agents thet do not necessary require any dedicated
hardware based probe, but can run over a standard PC

QXManager QoS consists of a central server, QXManager

Console, and software agents, QXAgents.
QXManager Console configures and sends the QXAgents
to the target devices via IP.
When test measurements end or when the time-to-live
expires, QXAgent uploads results to QXManager Console, and uninstalls itself.
QXAgents perform the required tests and
then QXManager Console stores the measurements results on an mySQL or Oracle
Database.

QXManager QoS allows active testing between agents installed on remote PC or dedicated probes,
and measurement servers deployed in the network

Highlights
Distributed active monitoring solution.
Scalable solution with software agents installed on users
Pc for end-to-end quality of service measurements.
Client server architecture and Web accessibility.
Multi-language support.
LDAP authentication and authorization embedded system.
Programmable time to live (TTL) of the software agents.

Customizable scheduled and on demand reports.

User configurable KPIs, Key Performance Indicators.
QoS measurements for VoIP with MOS, Mean Opinion
Score, based on ITU G.107 and MDI algorithm for Video
streams.
Software agents run on PCs with Microsoft Windows
98/2000/XP.
Fully Transparent for the PC hosting the Agent.
Quick to install and configure.
Excellent Price/Features ratio.

Together with the MIP-DMA, QXManager-QoS is an active & passive testing system
Key Features

Applications

High level of customization and scalability of the system

allows administrators to:

On Demand test system

yy add or delete QXAgents on any access point of the network

yy schedule measurements and customize related reports
yy report a complete overview of the services and network
yy troubleshoot network services
yy establish an effective resolution of possible issues
yy support SLA (Service Level Agreement) validation directly from the QXManager Console
yy upload and download automatically new software releases.
Dynamic multi-protocol and multi-service correlation on
real-time and non real-time applications.
Reporting and analysis based on the user definable Key
Performance Indicators that are easily and quickly customizable in two simple clicks.
KPIs analysis and related reports can be filtered per:
yy
yy
yy
yy
yy

geographical area
provider
type of access
type of user
type of QXAgents (i.e. for single office, department, location, city, or area)
yy user definable group of QXAgents.

QXManager QoS is a valid solution that supports IT managers and network engineers to analyse network services and test the QoS with a remarkable time and resource
savings.

Network and Application measurements

QXManager QoS provides proactively an End-to-End solution for the QoS verification of wireless and wireline access networks regardless of services.

Service Quality measurements

In case of deployment of triple and quadruple play, QXManager QoS supports functional End-to-End testing
based on G.107 and MDI algorithms for QoS of Audio
and Video over IP.

Benchmarking analysis
Regularly IT and network managers need to benchmark
their networks in order to evaluate their performance
and then to make decisions about future network investments.
QXManager QoS offers a set of customizable scheduled
reports for benchmarking analysis for finding and resolving the issues that can lead to poor service quality.

All the reports are available for long-term trend and statistical analysis over configurable time periods. Their
output is exportable to EXCEL, TEXT, XML, PDF, HTML or
RTF files and then they can be published as WEB pages.
Large network scale analysis: a single QxManager Console controls thousands of QXAgents and collects detail
traffic data from each of them.

Supported Protocols and Measures

With QXManager QoS the Operator can easly pinpoint performance and quality issues
with two easy steps: filter the measure and recall the analysis results

Data Test: SMTP, POP3, HTTP, HTTPs, FTP, and PING.

Multimedia Services test: NetMeeting Video Stream,
AudioStream, RealAudio, MPEG Audio/Video Stream,
NetShow, SIP VoIP, IPTV and Video Telephony.
Benchmarking terminology for network interconnection devices based on IETF RFC 2544, IETF RFC 1242.
Definition of the QoS parameter for the Internet Access
based on the ETSI EG 202 057-4 V1.1.1. (2005-10).
Audio and IPTV Video MOS based on ITU G.107 E-model
and on MDI IETF RFC 4445s.
