Clarus Advances Automated Testing for IP Telephony

Clarus Systems, a provider of integrated Voice over IP (VoIP) management software and services for Cisco Unified Communications, has announced enhancements to the Automated Testing capabilities of its flagship product, ClarusIPC Plus+ (2.6.4).

“Throughout our customer base and within the enterprise, we’re seeing industry trends such as larger IP Telephony deployments – which we define as tens or even hundreds of thousands of phones; Centralized call processing servers (aka Call Managers) supporting larger number of branch offices; all combined with more upgrades and migrations to get to the newest software releases,” said Gurmeet Lamba, SVP, product development, Clarus Systems, in a statement.

After focusing on expanding management capabilities to include Performance Monitoring, Configuration Management and Business Intelligence, this release emphasizes improvements to Clarus’ Automated Testing engine.??

ClarusIPC Plus+ leverages new algorithms to boost performance of its test engine.  These improvements allow customers to do more testing faster during new deployments, upgrades, or continuous regression testing.  Clarus’ improvements allow the most requested and relevant tests such as Direct Inward Dialing (DID), Call Permissions, Forward to Voice Mail, Conferencing and more to completely validate whether a branch office or headquarters location is ready for business, ensuring availability of communication services to the end user.
