Convergence
Integrated, open-architecture approach to understand and manage the priority and security of unified communications (VoIP)
As deployments of converged voice/video/data communications increase, Enterasys has developed an open-architecture, standards-based approach to supporting any convergence application from any vendor. Enterprises around the world rely on Enterasys Secure Networks™ to discover, classify and prioritize IP telephony (VoIP) and unified communications applications from Avaya, Cisco, Nortel, Panasonic, ShoreTel and Siemens.
Enterasys Secure Networks™ solutions for convergence enable your organization to answer the following questions in a way that is practical, achievable, and delivers rapid time to value:
- Can the network meet the high-availability expectations for voice services?
- Are there ways to architect for reliability and automatically prevent problems?
- Does the network support open-architecture, multi-vendor interoperability?
- Is the network fast enough with predictable latency/jitter characteristics?
- Can the network automatically protect you and your information without sacrificing performance?
- Is the network intelligent enough to discover, classify and prioritize convergence traffic with easy-to-deploy, effective QoS mechanisms?
- Are there enough physical ports with Power-over-Ethernet capabilities to which new convergence devices, including IP phones and security cameras, can attach?
- If a phone, camera and desktop are all connected off of a single switch port — can the voice, video and data traffic be secured and prioritized separately?
- Is the network secure enough to automatically protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the convergence application content?
- Is there management software to deliver the centralized visibility and control necessary to prioritize and secure the convergence traffic end-to-end across multiple locations?
Let us show you how our connectivity solutions for the access, distribution and core layers of your network enable you to securely deploy convergence applications and avoid being locked-in to a single vendor.
