ANAHEIM, Calif., - Tone Software Corporation, a global provider of comprehensive network monitoring and management solutions for converged telecommunications and IT infrastructures, announced that its partner Unique Communication Solutions, a leading provider of innovative telephone management software solutions for small to large enterprise networks worldwide, received certification by the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) division of the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA).

Unique’s Configuration Accounting Information Retrieval System (CAIRS) Software Release 4.0 incorporates Tone’s ReliaTel software for fault and performance management across multi-platform TDM and VoIP communications technologies; the combined technology set underwent a rigorous testing process to successfully achieve official JITC certification.

CAIRS - ReliaTel Integrated Solution Manages Multi-Platform Administration, Infrastructure, and Voice Service Levels...

The joint Unique-Tone telecommunications management platform is a complete Telephone Management System (TMS) that meets ISO standards for fault, configuration, accounting, performance and security management (FCAPS). Unique’s powerful CAIRS technology provides enterprise communications environments the ability to centrally perform time consuming administrative tasks such as network provisioning, work order processing, call accounting and cable maintenance all under one tool that supports multiple manufacturers’ voice equipment.

Tone’s ReliaTel Management solution provides comprehensive fault and performance management across both TDM and VoIP technologies from many manufacturers to ensure voice network performance and service levels. Integrated together under the Unique CAIRS brand, the two solutions seamlessly work together to manage the administration, physical infrastructure and overall voice services of enterprises in both the private and public sectors.

Based on successful recurring JITC certification, numerous Navy, Army and Air Force bases from Alaska to Guam have selected the CAIRS solution as their primary enterprise management platform for their networked communications infrastructures.

“The strength and success of the CAIRS solution is in part due to the integration of Tone’s ReliaTel software, which enables us to provide proactive fault and performance management for multi-platform TDM and VoIP technologies from many manufacturers,” said Len Vanderhoven, president, Unique Communication Solutions. “Combined with our multi-platform CAIRS management capabilities, the solutions share tremendous synergy and provide a high-value TMS offering that meets the varied and critical needs of military base telecommunications infrastructures.”

JITC Accreditation Ensures the Highest Interoperability and Security Standards...

DISA approved the CAIRS solution for Information Assurance (IA) Accreditation from the Defense IA/Security Accreditation Working Group (DSAWG) on March 9, 2010. Primary areas of focus are interoperability and security, with accreditation going only to solutions meeting the highest security standards. Accreditation runs for three years.

“With JITC certification, military installations and their contractors can confidently select and deploy the CAIRS solution with integrated ReliaTel technology to comprehensively manage their enterprise communications environments—regardless of their equipment mix,” said Amit Kapoor, director of strategic technology advancement, Tone Software. “CAIRS’ widespread deployment throughout military IT installations is a true testimony to the solution’s highly secure, flexible capabilities. Utilizing the Unique-Tone solution ensures the maintainability, reliability and service levels of the communications infrastructures that our military rely on to protect our national security.”
