Modern Telecommunications: Hands-On Network Convergence

 
Course: 949   Type: Hands-On Training   Duration: 4 Days
 
 

You Will Learn How To

  • Architect, implement and manage converged network solutions
  • Align integrated infrastructure requirements with business drivers
  • Leverage communication technologies for voice, data and video convergence
  • Exploit the capabilities of next-generation networks
  • Optimise networks for end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) delivery
  • Apply best practices to ensure the integrity of your converged network

Course Benefits

Developing a network infrastructure that supports voice, data and video applications provides a significant opportunity to reduce costs, improve productivity and increase efficiency. This course covers the complex technologies needed to integrate telecommunications and data networking. Through an evolving case study, you assess the conflicting requirements of mixed-media applications to develop an integrated network solution.

Who Should Attend

Network service providers, enterprise planners, network administrators and those involved in planning and implementing a converged network infrastructure. A basic knowledge of data networks at the level of Course 450, "Networking Comprehensive Introduction", is recommended.

Hands-On Training

In this course, you gain practical experience designing and building a converged infrastructure. Exercises include:
  • Defining performance goals
  • Choosing the best infrastructure for integrated services
  • Implementing VLANs to optimise voice traffic
  • Designing and deploying a robust converged network infrastructure
  • Configuring QoS in switches and routers
  • Deploying MPLS
  • Assessing a Service Level Agreement (SLA)
