Aspects of Network Migration From ATM to MPLS | 2008-01-01 | University Politehnica of Bucharest |
| Many telecoms operators which provide voice services as a significant part of their business have installed in the last decades ATM network to carry the traffic. Choosing ATM as backbone technologies was an obvious choice at that time: ATM can carries voice and data, mostly Frame Relay, providing a good support for other further development such as video-conferencing or ISDN. Today the growing IP traffic is constraining the telecoms providers to adjust their network to function in this new climate with the maximum efficiency possible. Because of his nature, ATM is not the best way to carry IP traffic, nor the most efficient.

Data Integration Hub for a Hybrid Paper Search | 2008-01-01 | Florida State University |
| This paper describes the design of a hybrid search that combines simple metadata search with a traditional keyword search over unstructured context data. This paradigm provides the inquirer additional options to narrow the search with some semantic aspects through the XML metadata query. The paper demonstrates a paper search for a case study of the hybrid search, and describes a data integration hub to integrate those data dispersed on the Net.

How Network Architecture Simplifies the Deployment of Unified Communications | 2007-12-19 | Cisco Systems |
| Like most enterprises, Cisco wanted to converge its separate voice and data networks to reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and easily adopt new technologies such as IP communications. However, the size and complexity of the Cisco network required more than a simple redesign. It required a new and comprehensive framework delivered by the Cisco Service-Oriented Network Architecture (SONA), which allows the Cisco network to support reusable, scalable services such as identity management, mobility, security, and voice call control. Cisco IT deployed the Unified Communications solutions incrementally, starting with basic telephony services, then adding advanced technologies and customized applications. The Cisco SONA framework assured that all the underlying network layers were complete and all the supporting technologies were ready as each new solution was deployed.

How Cisco IT Merged Voice and Data Engineering Groups | 2007-12-18 | Cisco Systems |
| At the outset, Cisco voice and data engineers hesitated to provide each other with access to their equipment. The networking group had reservations about enabling the voice group to use the routers that provide access to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), and the voice group didn't think the data group should have access to the Cisco CallManager. As the company began sending voice over the LAN and WAN, Cisco moved from a technology-oriented organization to a process-oriented one that spans both voice and data. The Cisco Americas theater reorganized its IT into three groups with roles that correspond to the Planning, Design, Implementation, Operation, and Optimization (PDIOO) organizational model adopted earlier by Cisco EMEA. | |||

How Cisco Created Its Own Customer Interaction Network | 2007-12-17 | Cisco Systems |
| This case study describes how Cisco Systems created an internal Customer Interaction Network (CIN) by using its own contact center solutions to route customer calls to outsourcers located around the world. The Cisco CIN gives customers the simplicity of a single, in-country telephone number for all Cisco sales, support, and general information inquiries. Cisco benefits from the reduced costs, more efficient call handling, and better use of experts that is possible when outsourcers handle first-line calls. The CIN takes advantage of the robust routing and security capabilities of the Cisco network, a leading-edge enterprise environment that is one of the largest and most complex in the world. Customers can draw on Cisco IT's real-world experience in this area to help support similar enterprise needs.
