We are consistently investing in ways to enhance user experiences, and quality of the service is a key enabler,” said Ashu Varshney, VP of Cloud Service Operations at RingCentral. “ThousandEyes gives us insight into network dependencies outside our network perimeter, enabling us to proactively address issues before they affect customers.”
RingCentral is leveraging ThousandEyes’ ability to proactively measure performance characteristics of each component of its comprehensive cloud communications offering, like SIP response times, API availability, anycast routing, network latency, jitter, and packet loss. This includes tests against their cloud services delivered provisioning portal, soft phone APIs, Session Border Controller availability and response times among other tests.
“As the leader in enterprise cloud communications, RingCentral is committed to providing its customers with unparalleled quality of service. Having end-to-end visibility across the entire digital experience delivery chain — including the Internet, cloud provider networks, corporate networks and all the way to endpoint devices — is critical to delivering on that promise,” said Mohit Lad, co-founder and CEO of ThousandEyes.†“We’re pleased to provide such a mission-critical Network Intelligence platform to RingCentral that helps them improve overall service quality for their customers’ cloud-based communications.”
