Introduction

ConvergeNet Network Products presents the appropriate cure for your current and future ICT Infrastructure and Networking Technology headaches. According to Gartner, 50% of all companies will redesign and deploy their networks in the foreseeable future.

Here are some of the reasons why:

  • Almost all Ethernet Campus networks and switches are in adequate and will have to be redesigned and redeployed in order to support convergence, wireless and new applications.
  • Few companies have effective strategies and support for IP Convergence or the new applications enabled by these products.
  • IP peering will be a challenge for most companies unless adequate security is provided. In order to deploy, manage and peer, large scale IP Networks Session Aware Networking technology is needed.
  • Support for Mobility and Wireless convenience is typically poor in most companies. There is little or no support for mobile users other than to plug in a cable. Most current strategies tend to ignore the convenience and flexibility of Wireless Network Access in the hope that it will go away.
  • Ubiquitous support for Wireless Users will require support for Enterprise Class Wireless solutions such as IEEE 802.11.n, which in turn requires a substantial increase in the switching capability of all campus and LAN networks. This will lead to deployment of 10 Gigabit Ethernet Networks.
  • The current generation of Ethernet network products is mature and there is little or no product differentiation. These products may offer 10 Gigabit Ethernet support although, in real terms, the relative performance will typically be poor. Therefore switching latency, throughput, bandwidth and capacity will soon create new challenges. The network and associated products should be redesigned.

ConvergeNet has carefully selected a number of Network Products to specifically address these and other burning issues, moreover those that comprehensively support all aspects of technology convergence. Our offering is intended to help you avoid the expensive re-installation, reinvestment, and rebuilding of your ICT Infrastructure and Network.
