Service providers are faced with the dual pressures of providing more entertainment, information, cloud, and collaboration services while simultaneously keeping an eye on cost containment, CapEx, and OpEx. Additionally, they face operational constraints such as power consumption, cooling capabilities, utilization levels, the ability to provision, and the ability to ensure continuity and data center longevity due to the complexity of their networks. Most service providers have networks where each area of service delivery requires its own packet network, computing powers, video head-end, video head office content caching, and central office equipment. |

For Brocade, IBM provides an OEM channel for distribution of its existing and future IP networking switches . With IBM’s Q1 09 server revenues reaching an estimated $2.1 billion (Q1 09 IBM earnings presentation), the opportunity for Brocade is big. |

The CTIA 2009 spring event was one mobile industry show where mobile devices did not take center stage. Last week’s event was driven by two main themes: Mobile applications and LTE (long-term evolution). The big question is: Will carriers get a piece of the application action in the mobile world, or will they revert to being dumb pipes as they basically have with the internet? |

When I founded Synergy, we started with one market research service. It was the late 90’s and it tracked a technology that was getting little respect from the established voice industry -Voice over IP (VoIP). When we began segmenting the market, many said it would be impossible to count this nascent market and they suggested we not waste our time trying to publish research on such a nebulous and overly ambitious technology. Although that was 10 years ago, in my mind it seems like yesterday. So when I heard the same reservations and objections voiced about our quest to quantify unified communication (UC), I was not surprised. After a rigorous 6-month process, I believe we have “cracked” the code and have developed a sound way to measure this emerging market. |

Cisco's entry today into the server market with its Unified Computing System brings it one step closer to realizing its Data Center 3.0 vision. Some may be hesitant, however, to leave server vendors like HP and IBM who have surrounded their customers with knowledgeable local and remote support resources for years, and who have developed knowledge databases that provide quick response in times of a hot site. |

Avaya is a globally recognized provider of IP telephony systems, communications software and services for business customers, spanning the range from small to large enterprises. The corporation, headquartered in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, has annual revenues in excess of $5 billion. Avaya is a spin-off of Lucent Technologies and a descendant of the original AT&T corporate family and the Bell System that was dissolved by court order in early 1984. Although Avaya was publicly held at inception in 2000, the company was privatized in late 2007 when it was taken over by the equity firms of Silver Lake and TPG Capital. Today, the company’s 18,000 employees are spread across three business units: Unified Communications Solutions, Contact Center Solutions and Integrated Office Communications (SMB focus), and Avaya Labs, which functions as the corporation’s research and development unit. Effective January of 2009 Kevin Kennedy, a former executive with Cisco who was previously affiliated with AT&T/Bell Labs, has held the position of president and CEO. |

The new communications environment of the twenty-first century is based on the virtual company concept and a mindset that requires individuals, communication systems and business processes to be instantaneously accessible and functional from anywhere and at anytime. The broad-based demand for mobility, the growing anywhere availability of high bandwidth internet access and the recent explosion in multi-mode communications networks has forever changed the expectations of businesses and their workers. This new environment demands a communications technology that facilitates, unifies and manages real-time, and near real-time interactions between humans, networks and devices with a common feel and interface experience. Unified communications, described as “the combination of products (hardware, software) and services that enhance individual, workgroup and organizational productivity by enabling management, integration and use of multiple enterprise communication methods (desktop phone, PC, IM, mobile device, etc.),” will be a critical building block of this new business environment. |
