Convergence offers opportunity to create new business competitive advantage and operational efficiencies. Convergence can occur at the applications, within the local network, or across the wide area network. Network convergence encompasses the use of technologies such as Internet Protocol (IP), Voice over IP, IP Telephony, and Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS). Unfortunately, there is often no clear-cut path for selection, integration and support of converged voice, data, video and other applications within current legacy infrastructures. This is where Spohn’s convergence consulting services shine!
Companies need to consider the readiness of their network prior to deploying voice, video, and other applications because the advantages of these technologies can quickly be erased if placed on top of a network that is not ready to support it. Each organization has unique requirements, legacy applications, existing hardware, and limited wide-area-network WAN resources. IP networks were designed originally to treat all traffic the same—there was no quality of service (QOS) differentiation among traffic. A converged network must prioritize traffic based on application type and provide the necessary bandwidth to ensure quality of service end-to-end in the architecture.
