Is your network infrastructure capable of supporting unified communications? Converging all communications onto a single IP infrastructure can put a tremendous strain on your network infrastructure. This white paper explains why a high-performance, highly available and secure network is essential for supporting a wide array of traffic types and a diverse user community. It describes how organizations can benefit from open, standards-based technologies, carrier-class reliability, end-to-end QoS and integrated security found in EX-series Ethernet switches-the ideal foundation for a converged LAN infrastructure capable of maintaining unified communications.
