IMS Operations Savings and Time to Market Improvements 2006-11-30 01:00:17 Alcatel-Lucent

Service providers are often forced to deploy stand-alone, individual service applications (referred to as "Point solutions") to meet revenue pressures; and are faced with the complex and expensive task of integrating these solutions and associated operations after investing in the infrastructure. The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture is designed to provide an environment where applications can share common functions and interact seamlessly. The measure of success of an IMS infrastructure will depend on the service provider's ability to quickly and cost-effectively introduce and manage new revenue-generating applications. This paper describes the results of an analysis conducted to quantify and determine how applications/services deployed using an IMS infrastructure can reduce operations costs and improve Time To Market (TTM).

Enhanced IP Resiliency Using Cisco Stateful NAT 2006-09-01 Cisco Systems

Stateful Network Address Translation is a Cisco IOS Software feature allowing two or more network address translators to function as a translation group. A backup NAT provides translation services in the event of failure to the active translator. The result is a more resilient IP network. The goal is to create a more globally resilient IP network. Networked applications are placing increased demands on the core IP network. Users expect continuous access to servers and data, regardless of location. Although the mean time between failure (MTBF) of hardware components has increased, failures can and do occur. Administrative activities can also cause downtime. A resilient IP network offers continuous service, despite failures that may occur.

On the Hardness of Minimum Cost Blocking Attacks on Multi-Path Wireless Routing Protocols 2006-08-29 University at Buffalo

This paper demonstrates the provable superiority of multi-path routing protocols over other conventional protocols against blocking, node-isolation and network-partitioning type-attacks in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) by emulating adversarial behavior. Though the underlying network model is of a WMN with mobile nodes, the results in this paper are equally applicable to other types of wireless data networks.

Online Transaction Troubles? 2007-01-03 01:00:23 Quest Software

Your organization can build customer loyalty by offering customers a high-quality online experience. In turn, satisfied customers provide a long-term value of repeat business, often allowing for more reinvestment in IT. Unfortunately, poor Web application performance can result in lost customer loyalty and revenues. This Quest Software white paper explores the consequences of poorly performing Web applications and offers advice to IT teams who need to take on new initiatives while maintaining current service levels. It also discusses tools and methods that IT organizations can adopt to maximize Web application performance and customer loyalty.

eQuality Success Story: 4 Wheel Parts 2006-08-03 01:00:11 Witness Systems

With more than $30 million in inventory from over 150 manufacturers, 4 Wheel Parts is the nation's largest distributor of parts and accessories for Jeeps, two and four wheel drive trucks and sport utility vehicles. Responding to customer interactions from both direct consumers and automobile dealerships, 4 Wheel Parts' sales agents are tasked with establishing a trust-filled rapport with callers and providing concise, accurate product information to close sales. With its telephone transactions averaging $450, it's easy to understand the business value each call is worth. 4 Wheel Parts implemented eQuality ContactStore for IP, Witness Systems' recording platform that allows for 100 percent recording in an Internet Protocol (IP) environment, to fulfill its recording and monitoring business requirements.

Arlington County: Providing IP-Based Videoconferencing Services to an Entire County 2006-08-03 01:00:11 Emblaze-VCON

Arlington County, Virginia is located directly across the Potomac River from Washington D.C. Being at the center of the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, Arlington County serves as a base for many tourists visiting the area. The Institutional Network (INET) is a key element of Arlington County's e-Government strategy. DTS operates INET as a self-supporting service. Departments are charged usage fees for services and pay for hardware and software provided by INET. Videoconferencing over IP is a new INET-based service introduced in early 2002 as a pilot deployment to select Arlington County employees. INET's low latency, high capacity characteristics are ideal for videoconferencing and videoconferencing is a natural complement to existing INET applications.

Providence Public Library Chooses Siemens HiPath IP Solutions for a Cost-Effective Centrex Alternative and to Improve Patron Service 2006-08-03 01:00:11 Siemens

Toward the end of a seven-year Centrex contract, the Providence (R.I.) Public Library system feared a big boost in its monthly telephone cost - but without adding any new features or services. Instead, the Library chose a Siemens HiPath Real-Time IP System for its calling, call-handling and messaging needs. Result? It's been able to centralize system administration, avoid some costs and reduce others, and improve overall service to library patrons.

Debunking the Myths of Unified Communications 2006-09-20 07:04:43 Cisco Systems

As voice, video, and data networks converge into a single user experience, more organizations are seeing the value in deploying IP-based unified communications solutions. These solutions integrate telephony, unified messaging, voicemail, customer contact solutions, audio and video capabilities, rich-media conferencing, and presence and mobility solutions with business processes. However, as with any emerging technology, myths have evolved about the use, value, and effectiveness of unified communications. This paper looks at the most common myths�and the facts�and provides information that can help you make an intelligent decision about deploying a converged network and unified communications solution.
