The traditional technology infrastructure model introduced in the 1960s was to run each different network separately. Companies would have a data network with no overlap to the telephony network. The inefficiencies of this are today obvious: the technology and services exist to either merge, or build from scratch, converged networks over which data is always treated the same, be it sound, video or email. All information is simply data, and behaves like that across the entire network. This is even more important with the increasing importance of IP telephony.
However, ensuring that the converged network runs at peak efficiency is more than a matter of adding another box. At Network Resource Ltd (NRL), we know that a network is like a system of roads: you do not want to block up an inexpensive minor road with heavy traffic while leaving the motorways with only a few cars. That’s why we have developed a range of services and products which both balance the load across your network, and ensure that each piece of traffic is directed along the most efficient routes to its destinations. With products such as NRL’s LANKonnect, you can converge your network with peace of mind, knowing that all data will be efficiently handled by optimised traffic routing, with the increased return on investment to follow
