Duration: Approx. 40 minutes

A replay of this webinar is available here.


MPLS-based networks and VoIP are two of the hottest topics for networking professionals worldwide. Virtually all enterprises are either evaluating VoIP and/or MPLS or have begun deploying the technologies; however, many enterprises have experienced serious difficulty in deploying these solutions successfully. These deployments have a direct impact on the end user’s perception of Quality of Experience (QoE). It is challenging to manage the applications mix as the complexity of the multi-factor convergence impacting QoE grows.

As rapidly-evolving technology, including VoIP and Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC), is deployed in MPLS-based Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), it becomes essential to embed intelligence in the solution. Hardware and software once categorized as “value-added” are now integral network components for effective and efficient management. VoIP and other latency-intolerant applications are quickly invading the enterprise and driving the need for intuitive monitoring and reporting—literally second-by-second. Efficient network and applications performance management capabilities are need to achieve the desired QoE for end users.

Attend this webinar to learn how Global Crossing has integrated Fluke Networks’ award-winning solution to Maximize QoE for end users and all those who support them. This webinar will also include a live demonstration of how pre-assessment and post-deployment visibility can help enterprises understand the impacts of VoIP and MPLS and how to deploy successfully, including:

  • Understanding the impact of real-time VoIP requirements on traditional data networks
  • Viewing performance for all locations with an any-to-any infrastructure architecture
  • Monitoring and optimizing CoS prioritization
  • Pre-assessing monitoring for network and VoIP readiness
  • Seeing the differences in monitoring synthetic tests and actual VoIP calls
