Converged Networks
The development of a converged infrastructure network capable of securely managing all varieties of data and communication traffic has become an unavoidable investment as organisational life continues to migrate to online ways of working.
However, in the short term this can be tough. Achieving the same resilience and security as when voice and data were run separately requires a different mindset, working practices and tools if the most common issues are to be avoided.
Once the unified network becomes host to all forms of competing traffic, IT support are propelled into real time management, dealing with wide ranging and often unexpected issues. These can manifest as congestion, prioritisation, bandwidth provision and increasingly security violations from open standards based end devices.
Equally, a well designed and managed converged network provides the foundation upon which virtualised organisational life can thrive and be developed in evolutionary steps. Therefore getting the basics right remains an IT priority until converged network management becomes a fully mastered competency.
