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.
