Tone's ReliaTel VoIP Management Solution Rated Compliant With Avaya Aura Communication Manager 6.0

ANAHEIM, CA--(Marketwire - May 23, 2011) - Tone Software Corporation, a global provider of comprehensive network monitoring and management solutions for converged telecommunications and IT infrastructures, today announced that its ReliaTel® VoIP management solution is compliant with key Internet Protocol (IP) telephony solutions from Avaya, a global leader in business collaboration systems, software and services.

The ReliaTel solution provides comprehensive VoIP quality and service level management for converged environments, including real time VoIP QoS and QoE analysis and trunk performance reporting for Avaya Communications Manager through the SAT interface. The ReliaTel RTCP, SNMP and SAT functionality is now compliance-tested by Avaya for compatibility with Avaya Aura® Communication Manager 6.0.

Tone's ReliaTel manages both VoIP call quality and the underlying converged network infrastructure in a holistic manner. The management solution provides network and IT support teams with a unified management portal to rapidly and accurately pinpoint issues affecting network quality performance occurring at every segment across the converged environment.

"ReliaTel delivers the essential answers and capabilities today's service providers, VARs and enterprises require to effectively manage converged communications service levels from end to end -- from the SIP trunks entering the LAN to the softphones on the desktops," commented Amit Kapoor, director of strategic technology advancement for Tone. "Through compliance testing with industry leaders such as Avaya, our mutual clients may be assured of interoperable solutions that leverage the latest technologies and provide value to drive business success."

Tone Software is a member of the Avaya DevConnect program -- an initiative to develop, market and sell innovative third-party products that interoperate with Avaya technology and extend the value of a company's investment in its network.

As a Gold member of the program, Tone Software is eligible to submit products for compatibility testing by the Avaya Solution Interoperability and Test Lab. There, a team of Avaya engineers develops a comprehensive test plan for each application to verify whether it is Avaya compliant. Doing so ensures businesses can confidently add best-in-class capabilities to their network without having to replace their existing infrastructure -- speeding deployment of new applications and reducing both network complexity and implementation costs.

"Development partners like Tone Software are helping Avaya offer customers a broad selection of standards-based solutions that are compliance-tested for interoperability," said Eric Rossman, vice president, developer relations, Avaya. "Tone's ReliaTel enables businesses to use communications more effectively, helping to drive strategic business objectives and successfully compete in today's global economy."
