Converged Application Platforms for Distributed Enterprise: Brief

Intel® reference design delivers scalable, high-quality customer premise solutions

Product Overview
Converged application platforms, integrating and delivering voice, data, and video over a single IP network, provide cost-effective integrated customer premise solutions for small offices to multiple, geographically dispersed enterprise offices connected to a central business network. These multi-function devices simplify installation and operation while providing over-the-wire manageability.

Converged application platforms, based on high-performance, flexible Intel® building blocks, offer the following advantages:
• A rich user experience delivering superior-quality voice, data, and video
• Remote management, diagnosis, and provisioning
• Reduced footprint appliances for small-to-medium businesses and distributed enterprise environments where branch offices might have as few as eight or as many as 120 employees
• Protected voice, data networking, and video streaming
• Headroom to enable new services
• Freedom to distribute anywhere on the network

Intel’s reference designs for converged application platforms in the distributed enterprise help Telecom Equipment Manufacturers and Original Design Manufacturers introduce simple-to-use, affordable converged network solutions more quickly, with the scalability to configure and design multiple platform architectures to meet a wide range of application requirements.

This combination of media and network processing allows service providers and IT managers to integrate multiple features such as routing, firewall, wireless LAN, and VPN support—along with value-added business applications—in a single, multi-function appliance. At the same time, a common network topology simplifies quality of service, maintenance and upgrades. As a result, more powerful platforms can be deployed that continue to deliver and support the latest integrated collaboration and network management applications.
