Nortel Networks 7400 - Manual (Page 214)

Storage and networking at light speed.
The new enterprise network takes advantage of
CWDM/DWDM, next-generation SONET, and
Ethernet for optical storage networking, ever-aging
optics for performance and reliability. These aspects
are critical requirements for business continuity and
disaster recovery applications. Protocol-independent
optical wave-lengths support all storage protocols
and the end-to-end delay, reliability, and capacity
requirements of the most stringent storage
applications, while Optical Ethernet provides a lower
cost storage networking solution.
IP Telephony solutions from Nortel Networks can
now scale from a single user to branch offices, to
regional offices, to campuses - right up to global
networks with hundreds of thousands of users. IP
Telephony has matured to offer the fundamental
requirements of full-scale enterprise deployment:
centralised or distributed control, enterprise-wide
access to applications such as unified messaging,
uncompromised voice quality, choice of features
and functions, multiple migration paths, and
coexistence with legacy systems. Converging voice
and data onto one infrastructure integrates critical
communications capabilities into a single platform
to lower total cost of ownership and build
productivity through new applications.
Security inherent in all applications and services.
High-performance, multi-layer security protects data
integrity and privacy across all environments,
including mobility, without compromising the
performance of the network and applications.
Routing is transformed by building in IP-VPN and
firewall security into routing devices that naturally
understand security protocols.
By using these elements together, customers will
gain a competitive business edge through:
Cost reduction - simplified operations with faster &
cheaper bandwidth
Increased productivity - converged communications
over a secure, reliable network
Innovation in customer experience - improved
application performance and engaged applications.
One Network is not just a series of Nortel Networks
products. It’s a view of how business can
innovatively respond to new situations.
