SolarWinds VoIP & Network Quality Manager - a proactive VoIP quality of service management solution - has added support for Avaya VoIP solutions.
Avaya had the second largest market share for enterprise telephony equipment in 2012 and 2013, according to Gartner Research.* With this latest release, SolarWinds is filling a pressing market need for an easy-to-use VoIP management solution to gain detailed insight into the network’s impact on Avaya VoIP call quality.
SolarWinds VoIP & Network Quality Manager provides proactive VoIP call quality monitoring and WAN performance monitoring, delivering advanced troubleshooting for call issues including jitter, latency, packet loss and more. SolarWinds VoIP & Network Quality Manager identifies common VoIP issues between two IP phones and correlates them to underlying network performance, empowering Avaya voice engineers to address the source of call issues quickly and maintain optimal performance of their business-critical communication systems.
The latest version of SolarWinds VoIP & Network Quality Manager adds robust support for Avaya-brand solutions, enabling Avaya voice engineers to quickly and easily:
- Monitor VoIP call quality metrics including jitter, latency, packet loss, MOS, and endpoint information
- Identify failed calls and correlate call issues with network performance to isolate network devices causing poor VoIP quality
- Search and filter call detail records of one-on-one or conference VoIP calls
- Provide call quality statistics, reports and alerts for specific regions
“When important conference calls drop or have static and shaky audio, productivity and actual business transactions may be at risk, so IT Pros are on the hook to resolve these issues fast. But they can’t fix anything without knowing where or what the problem is, and end users can seldom replicate the actual disturbance they encountered,” said Chris LaPoint, VP of product management, SolarWinds. “With SolarWinds VoIP & Network Quality Manager’s powerful VoIP and call quality monitoring, voice engineers can quickly view critical VoIP performance metrics alongside key network performance metrics, giving them instant visibility into what is causing poor call quality without the guesswork.”
SolarWinds VoIP & Network Quality Manager also supports Cisco CallManager solutions and integrates into SolarWinds’ powerful portfolio of network management solutions, providing single-pane-of-glass visibility into other areas of an IT infrastructure.

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
