Finisar and Telchemy announce partnership. (Strategic Alliances).

Finisar Corporation, a provider of SAN LAN performance tools, has entered into an agreement with Telchemy, a provider of voice and video over IP (V2oIP) monitoring and analysis technology, for Telchemy to provide VoIP diagnostic technology for Finisar's line of VoIP monitoring and analysis products. Telchemy's technology was created to automatically provide insight into the root cause and location of network impairments affecting VoIP network quality. It can monitor streams of voice or video packets and recognize the "signatures" of specific network impairments such as LAN congestion or route flapping in real time. This can save network and service managers from countless hours of data interpretation and "trial-and-error" problem solving to find what are often transient network problems. The real-time analysis technology is an extension to VQmon, Telchemy's voice quality monitoring technology that is used in Finisar's MultiQoS multimedia traffic analysis product. VQmon is a family of lightweight, computationa lly efficient, embedded voice quality software agents that can accurately monitor all calls made over V2oIP networks in real-time.
