Microsoft Corp. recently released a free module for its just released Office Communications Server 2007 that lets users troubleshoot voice quality issues by monitoring network performance in real time.
The Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 Quality of Experience Monitoring Server (QMS) is designed as a software-based competitor to network gear offered by the likes of Cisco Systems Inc., according to Microsoft officials when they announced QMS is August.
Warren Barkley, principle program manager for OCS, wrote last week on the OCS blog, "QMS is a pure software-based solution that monitors voice quality using all the information collected by the endpoints, [mean opinion score], loss, jitter, delay, device quality and over a dozen other parameters that are used to determine quality."
