Connecting networks and devices through third party bridges and gateways, without having to upgrade or modify networks or devices on either side of the junction, has been part of the technology landscape for decades. However, new economic and technical realities have moved this idea of edge integration from a tactical short- term solution, to a long-term strategic one. Innovation moves technology forward so quickly that it is nearly impossible to keep network core elements up to date. Plus, the current worldwide economic climate impacts the decision over new technology deployments. No company wants to waste cash or talent on a technology that may fade before it sees wide adoption. "Integration at the Edge" addresses these issues by detailing a broad range of strategies that empower enterprises and service providers to improve network performance and efficiency by implementing innovative and cost-effective technologies at the edge. The use of flexible, intelligent devices, such as gateways and transcoding solutions, enable a variety of IP Services (VoIP, Unified Communications, Video, Call Recording, SIP Trunking) while minimizing capital investment, leveraging existing infrastructure, and mitigating service disruption and the need for user retraining. In this Webinar, the attendee will learn: How to leverage a TDM Core for media and signaling delivery from IP Connected Devices Strategies for migrating from a TDM Infrastructure to a hybrid TDM/IP Infrastructure Methods for connecting TDM resources (IVR Systems, Fax Servers, Analog Telephones or entire Call Centers) to an IP Infrastructure Using Flexible, Intelligent, Multi-Purpose Edge Devices to Future Proof network investments Register Today!   Top Stories » U.K. MSP Damovo Selects Zyrion Cloud and IT Monitoring Solution » Chico State Builds Hosting Center on Cloud-Based Storage Infrastructure with Donation from NetApp » Vimpelcom Lao Leverages DiViCloud Virtual Network to Expand International IP Capacity » Telerik on Cloud Nine: Icenium Achieves Remarkable Milestone in Short Time   From The Expert Corner November 02, 2012 The Deepening Union Between Cloud Communications and Mobile By Erin Harrison Executive Editor, Cloud Computing As organizations increasingly adopt cloud services and embrace enterprise mobility initiatives, mobile and cloud are converging. With more mobile workers and consumers supporting tablets, mobile content, mobile video and personal cloud services, the IT world is in another state of transition, as the “anytime” availability and unlimited storage is critical for businesses. In fact, almost 70 percent of the workforce in North America relies on mobile devices, according to a recent blog post by Richa Pokhriyal, digital strategist at India-based Egocentrix. “With the cloud computing technologies delivery of mobile apps and access of data with mobile platforms is much more feasible and easy,” Pokhriyal said. “The motive to use mobile devices in business is to achieve work flexibility and anytime data access.” Cloud is a key benefit of this trend, as it allows for data to be hosted in the cloud, and therefore available anytime, from anywhere. As an example, cloud computing allows employees to access their business e-mail anywhere with SaaS (News - Alert) services such as Exchange 2010 hosting, as well as enables efficient collaboration and sharing with services like SharePoint 2010 hosting...
