Nortel Networks in Enterprise
Our enterprise customers are continually assessing the way they build, manage and use
their infrastructures to plan how their networks can do more, more efficiently, and with
more ‘intelligence’. Of increasing importance is what new revenue opportunities they
can help create. Convergence is a key theme - not just the convergence of voice and data
but also the elimination of network boundaries for accessing the communications
infrastructure, with the ability to support multiple devices in order to share information.
Nortel Networks has emerged as the leader in multimedia convergence.
Our perspective for the future of enterprise networking is captured in our vision of ‘One
Network – A World of Choice’, and summarised in this guide. This demonstrates how we
are uniquely positioned to support our customer’s success by improving productivity and
lowering costs through application delivery and convergence, user mobility,
infrastructure security and network resilience.
