Benefits of QoS

What are the business benefits of QoS?

Benefits to companies...

Within business, the internet is increasingly relied upon for business critical tasks/applications and as with private controlled networks, expectations for quality assurances are similarly high. Inside companies, the internet plays a huge part in day to day operations, especially when considering intranets and extranets that enable the electronic commerce factor that so many business are taking advantage of today.

With business being increasingly conducted over the web, it becomes ever more important for companies to ensure that their networks deliver the appropriate levels of quality to sustain their business. Quality of Service (QoS) is able to provide the necessary tools to achieve this, allowing businesses to deliver critical business operations over the public network.

Benefits to applications...

With e-commerce and general growth of online functionality ever increasing, business applications are becoming more demanding. Business critical applications deployed over IP networks increasingly require a certain standard of quality and reliability in order to provide the necessary performance. Particularly, voice, video, or multi-media applications must be carefully managed within an IP network in order to produce the relevent quality service for the task at hand.

QoS allows companies to do the following in order to achieve this:

• Manage applications sensitive to jitter, i.e. video and audio playbacks

• Control delay-sensitive traffic, i.e. VoIP solutions

• Manage loss of quality when experiencing congestion through bursts of data.
