Organizations today increasingly rely on the performance and availability of the data network. Critical business functions are now dependent upon robust software applications, voice, and video delivered via the network. However, these new applications put ever-increasing demands on the network. In order to effectively deliver service, the network must have the intelligence to differentiate types of data to prioritize critical data and applications. The availability of network must also be maintained by protecting against the latest security threats.
The Power of Convergence
The value of a converged network is that all different types of information - voice, video, data - coexist on the same infrastructure. No longer is it necessary to have separate cabling for your voice system; or proprietary cabling and hardware for the surveillance system; or a multitude of vendors and staff to manage disparate systems. A converged network brings all of these functions under one umbrella for simplified administration, lower operating costs, and centralization of your infrastructure investment.
