Key Features of Our Unified Communications Management Platform
Nectar’s UCF module relies on information from various platform and infrastructure components to monitor application and endpoint health and availability. UCF utilizes a variety of industry and manufacturer-specific protocols for Microsoft Skype for Business, Cisco, Avaya, and other industry-standard platforms to gather health and performance data. UCF then uses this information to aggregate and present alerts and alarms along with actionable data to meet customers expectations and service provider SLAs. Other significant functionality includes:
- Auto/Active Discovery – provides constant communication to help keep device lists up-to-date.
- Detailed Inventory – enables automatic hardware/software/firmware discovery for dynamic updates.
- System Dependency Hierarchy – provides correlation logic to help map elements and applications to individual business processes, and creates dynamic dependency trees.
- Phone QoS – offers manufacturer provided quality information and reporting.
- Performance & Capacity – delivers real-time, historical performance trending and alerting.
- Dashboard Views –delivers highly detailed, real-time information in a customizable format that allows you to track all aspects of network performance and status.
- Robust Reporting and Advanced Analytics – provide in-depth historical reports that allow you to track device performance and resource utilization trends.
