“As customers rely on their networks to carry mission-critical services including VoIP, video, or unified communications applications, Hilltop’s goal is to always make sure that the network is ready to handle the mix of applications and traffic unique to each customer’s operation,” stated Fred Robertson, Hilltop’s chief development business officer. “We needed a monitoring solution to help us identify the root cause of network issues and provide the prescription to resolve these before customers even noticed the problem. We found PathSolutions’ Total Network Visibility monitoring products as the perfect fit to give us the necessary resources to quickly identify and address network performance issues.”
PathSolutions’ Total Network Visibility suite of products represents a new direction in network performance monitoring by changing how engineering effort is utilized. Its solutions for VoIP and data networks act as the network’s eyes and ears, automatically monitoring the health and performance of every switch, router, server, and link in data or VoIP networks of any size. In addition, PathSolutions’ VoIP Monitor is the only solution that identifies where and why a VoIP call went bad, and then recommends a fix. With PathSolutions’ network performance management solutions, problems are easily identified and quickly diagnosed, allowing customers to deliver superior data, voice and video services across the network.
“We are pleased to partner with a visionary managed services provider like Hilltop that is committed to delivering high-quality solutions to its customers,” said Rich Braband, President of PathSolutions. “As more applications, from Voice over IP (VoIP) to video, traverse customer networks, there is an escalating need for efficient monitoring and trouble resolution to ensure that providers continue to serve the needs of their customers. The Total Network Visibility suite gives organizations like Hilltop the necessary resources to easily discover and resolve network issues that impede voice quality and network performance, and keep the infrastructure performing at the highest level.”
PathSolutions provides a tremendous value to Hilltop and its customers. “The flexible licensing options enable us to bundle the capability in a service offering, use it for network assessments, or sell it as a stand-alone product – whatever fits a customer’s needs,” concluded Robertson. “In order to succeed in the current market, a TSP like Hilltop must have an efficient monitoring and trouble resolution capabilities like the ones uniquely developed by PathSolutions.”
