Award winning benchmarking, sourcing and transformation, and network
advisory firm, Alsbridge, Inc., today released a new report – “Best Management Practices for Next
Generation Converged Networks-Part 1”. Part one of a two part series, this
whitepaper lays down some of the best management practices, helping network
managers address the challenges they face every day in delivering expected
flawless performance to all end users in their enterprise.
Next Generation Converged Networks are borderless networks that support
multimedia and multi-modal transactions, operated with a simplified management
structure in which the applications are prioritized for optimal performance.
While today’s network
and infrastructure teams do a heroic job of enabling their businesses’ next
generation converged networks to process requests quickly, and handle the
exploding demands of voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), video over IP,
enterprise applications and access to cloud solutions and data centers, their
efforts are frequently subverted by a range of internal and external factors.
“Even the
best-architected networks can suffer from mild to major execution issues. But,
just as with a brand new, hot off the assembly line Toyota Prius or
top-of-the-line Cadillac, management and users simply expect flawless
performance,” says Ben Trowbridge, Chairman and CEO, Alsbridge Inc., “And they have no interest in technical excuses if service is
sub-par.”
This report
elucidates some guidelines on visibility tools and big data for the data
network, that will enable network managers to enhance their network operations,
make better, more disciplined decisions, and provide superior service to their
enterprise-wide customers.

Big Data for the Data Network

practices, download the complete whitepaper Best Management Practices for Next Generation Converged Networks-Part 1
