manner, much less proactively. By implementing a performance man- agement tool, there is a shift from speculation and finger pointing to data-driven evidence, establishing appropriate ownership of problems and a reduction in time to resolu- tion. Regardless of the size or variety of applications, quality data about traffic flows and patterns is essential to minimize problems and optimize communications for any type of network, including educa- tion districts. When systems work as they are intended to, educators, parents and students can focus on learning, teaching and making the most of today’s immersive-educa- tion resources. Enterprises, including educa- tion institutions, need solutions in place that provide visibility, begin- ning to end, into the health and performance of their UC network. It is equally as important to focus on deploying solutions that can scale as environments and applications needs change and grow. Fresno Unified School District (USD) faced the challenge of having reliable telecommunications ser- vices and solutions in place for up- ward of 150,000 students, parents and teachers, leading to a need for a solution which enabled them to maximize existing investments and streamline problem resolution. The school district looked to partner with technology vendors to advance their UC initiatives. By deploying Nectar for SIP, a performance management solution, they were able to take ad- vantage of real-time troubleshooting tools, relieving the strain of network interruptions for faculty, students and parents. Not only has the solution given real-time visibility into the networks, but it was also able to provide his- torical evidence to show exactly where faults were occurring previ- ously. Nectar utilizes a modular, scalable architecture that’s built from the ground up to provide com- plete, centralized network visibility via a 360-degree view of all voice and data assets. By focusing on the company’s entire UC ecosystem, the Fresno Unified School District has been able to achieve enhanced performance through comprehen- sive reporting and analytics, infra- structure auto-discovery, root cause analysis, contextual monitoring and at-a-glance troubleshooting. Nectar for SIP with UC Di- agnostics enables UCRight and Fresno USD to effectively manage multi-vendor network complexity and maximize existing technology investments, yielding a modern and efficient learning environment for faculty, students and parents. o Tim Arm- strong is vice president of product market- ing at Nectar Services Corp.
