All in all, is Convergence Infrastructure, just another brick in the wall?

If only PINK FLOYD had written a song about Convergence Infrastructure. At ONA we would be in ‘Seventh Heaven’, wherever that is. Not sure what they would have written with their angst ridden lyrics, especially as Convergence Infrastructure is part of the future proofing of businesses in the UK and beyond. 

Historically your data (computer) or voice (telephone) or visual (video) or in fact good old fashioned electricity, for lighting say, would have a cable of its own and never the twain shall meet. Each on its own, individual, separate, devoid from relationship. All installed possibly by separate teams of people, all vying for the best space to run the multitude of cables into little cubby holes, hidden from your view.
 
This is where Pink Floyd would rail against the tide of Convergence Infrastructure, so no “Hey! Teacher! Leave them Kids Alone” here. As IP or Internet Protocol is the control measure (the Protocol bit), that creates a standardised set of rules to run on a Converged Infrastructure. It turns out that IP convergence refers to the capability to act as a single foundation for various functions that traditionally had their own platforms.

Now with end user technology, in computers, voice, visual and electricity, your infrastructure can be plotted within your building, using the very same colourful eCable [link to last months’ blog again] that ONA spoke about last month. 
So before you plan your next move and if you want to know more about IP, IT, PSTN, VoIP, eCable or IPTV – YES I know!, then speak to me, Roy at ONA.
I love Pink Floyd
