Dr. Chris Lauwers, chief technology officer at Avistar Communications
Corporation (www.avistar.com),
a leader in unified visual communications solutions, will be speaking on
a panel at VoiceCon
San Francisco 2009.
The panel, “Quality of Service (QoS) & Quality of Experience (QoE):
Ensuring Voice (and other Applications') Performance,” is scheduled for
9:00 a.m.–10:45 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 2 in Room 132 at the Moscone North
Convention Center.
Dr.
Lauwers, who holds an M.S. and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and
computer science from Stanford University and is a recognized expert in
applications-based bandwidth management, will participate in a
discussion designed to help enterprise users understand network and
infrastructure challenges associated with running voice, video, and data
applications that require varying levels of priority at different times,
while still ensuring QoS and QoE.
The panel will be moderated by John Bartlett, Principal, NetForecast, a
leading authority on real-time traffic, application performance and QoS
techniques.
“Because of the real-time requirements, Unified Communications can put a
significant amount of strain on enterprise IP networks and their
associated infrastructure,” said Dr. Lauwers. “For organizations to
confidently deploy Unified Communications as an enterprise technology,
especially when used with visual communications, administrators need the
necessary tools and technology to effectively manage the associated
infrastructure and overhead. Without such tools and advance planning,
administrators will have a difficult time managing their network
infrastructure while trying to ensure they can meet their end users
expectations with regard to quality of experience and service.”
