Nectar Evolution Joins Cisco Price List to Deliver Improved User Experience for UC Environments
First UC QoS automation solution in the market
and offered through Cisco’s vast channel network enables dramatic time savings in network operations
DONOMA SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES NEXT GENERATION CALL DETAIL REPORTING FOR CISCO PLATFORM
Blacksburg, VA - Donoma Software (Donoma) announces the launch of Donoma OneView, a next generation graphical call detail analysis and reporting solution for Cisco telephony systems.
Jericho, NY - Nectar Services Corp.,
the global leader in the development
and deployment of proactive network monitoring and management software for the Unified Communications (UC) industry, has announced that Nectar Evolution is now available on the Cisco Global Price List and is offered through Cisco’s global channel of resellers. An industry first, Evolution integrates with the Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) to automate quality of service (QoS) and verify best practices that were previously manually implemented. Nectar’s Evolution enables enterprises to optimize voice, video and collaboration experiences across multi- vendor UC platform deployments that include Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Microsoft Skype for Business, and other third party ecosystem applications.
“Even the most basic network changes can take weeks or even months to complete. Additionally, due to the many variations of devices and network operating systems, the syntax required to make a configuration change could be unique from platform
to platform— making the task even
more challenging,” said Steven Purcell, senior director of global Cisco program management at Nectar. “For Wi-Fi specific enterprise environments, QoS is typically not deployed nor available. Deploying Cisco’s APIC-EM with Nectar Evolution significantly simplifies the rollout of a QoS deployment of Wi-Fi users and applications

across an organization ensuring an optimized voice, video and collaboration experience.”
As a cross-platform, UC-aware solution, Evolution utilizes Nectar’s dynamic, rules-based policy engine in conjunction with Cisco’s SDN Application Policy Infrastructure Controller — Enterprise Module (APIC-EM), an integral module
of Cisco’s DNA vision, to deliver unified communications QoS automation and orchestration across a Cisco wired or wireless infrastructure. Leveraging Cisco APIC-EM, Evolution ensures the user receives the proper QoS regardless of
UC device being used or registered. By designating and assigning the proper QoS to the registered UC device, the network can operate at the highest performance standards. This results in significant
time savings in network operations, thus allowing enterprises to dedicate time and resources to alternative operational needs.
“Historically, many network managers have managed routers, switches and other network elements on a device-by-device basis through a highly manual, repetitive process,” said Bill Haskins, Sr. Analyst and Partner at Wainhouse Research. “Nectar Evolution dramatically simplifies this process by automating QoS at a platform level, saving time, lowering cost, and reducing errors. Put it all together, and you improve ROI, increase reliability, and deliver a better UC experience.”

Carousel Industries Achieves Two Milestone Cisco Channel Partner Designations
Cisco Recognizes Carousel with Master Collaboration Specialization and as a Cloud & Managed Services Master Partner
EXETER, RI - Carousel Industries, a leader in communication and network technologies, professional and managed services, and cloud solutions, has announced it has attained its certification as a Cisco Master Collaboration Specialization Partner. This follows Carousel’s recent worldwide certification as a Master Partner in Cisco’s Cloud and Managed Services Program (CMSP).
Cisco Master Collaboration Specialized partners represent an elite community that has met the most rigorous certification requirements for Cisco voice and unified communication solutions. CMSP is a comprehensive framework that recognizes partners who offer cloud and managed services based on Cisco technologies.
These designations mark Carousel’s proven ability to represent master-level business expertise and technical proficiency, while also delivering exceptional cloud
and managed services. Carousel fulfilled the extensive training requirements and program prerequisites to design, deploy, and support highly sophisticated, applications- based Cisco solutions.
In addition to technical qualifications and certifications, Cisco Master level partners must demonstrate their customer
requirement processes and the ability
to present Cisco applications to address challenging customer needs. No other Cisco specialization or certification demands
such an extensive proof of the partner design, implementation, and demonstration capabilities. “These are major milestones
in Carousel’s ascent to becoming one of the top certified Cisco partners in the world,” said Brian Davies, Vice President of Cisco Operations, Carousel. “We are honored to receive Cisco’s accreditations as a testament to the highest levels of expertise, processes, and tools we use every day to ensure successful business outcomes for our clients.”
As part of the Cisco Master Specialization process, a third-party, onsite audit validated Carousel’s command of Cisco voice and unified communications solutions. Master Collaboration Specialized Partners are the only Cisco partners who have demonstrated their abilities at every phase of the Cisco network lifecycle.
The CMSP designation obliged Carousel to meet Cisco’s requirements for developing, delivering, and supporting cloud and managed service solutions based on Cisco technologies and to demonstrate that
they have the ITIL Foundation processes, practices, and tools needed to support the technologies at all lifecycle phases.
