A new era of network services has evolved to meet the needs of
IP-centric networking requirements and customer opportunity. The
emphasis is on service as IP has become a prolific communications
portal through which to deliver interactive solutions that improve
business execution, tie the individual consumer into commerce, and
extend market reach by removing the last barriers of time and
distance. http://www.dropshippers.co.za/
Next-Generation Network Services presents an overview
of converged IP network services, focusing on opportunities for
service differentiation and introducing current service-oriented
technology. These technologies allow service providers and large
enterprises to build and operate networks that provide local,
long-haul, mobile, and global data and Internet services to
businesses and consumers. http://www.dropshippers.co.za/
This book explores the service provider opportunity in the new
era, discussing what has changed and why a service-centric focus is
the new ascendancy. This book introduces an extensive portfolio of
network technologies and explains the market advantages and the
service value of each solution, including IP, multiservice, virtual
private network (VPN), optical, wireline, and wireless
networks. http://www.dropshippers.co.za/
