Avaya, Microsoft, Polycom, and HP Networking UC&C interoperability at Enterprise Connect

HP Booth at Enterprise ConnectWe had a lot of things to show on the booth at Enterprise Connect (photos of the booth) - and I didn' t get time to capture the full array of solutions and services on offer from HP, but I did grab a few minutes with Mushtaq Ahmed, Global Product Manager, from the HP Networking team to discuss HP's integrated solutions from Microsoft and Avaya, and the integration that will become possible with the next release of HP's VCX platform.

 

Mushtaq talks briefly about the Avaya Aura™ Session Border Controller which provides security for SIP traffic from the branch office, and the HP Survivable Branch Communications powered by Microsoft® Lync™, which provides survivability for the branch office voice communications in the event of an WAN outage.

QoS Best Practices for UC&C within Enterprise LANs

Key networking trends with UCC.jpgOn Wednesday, I attended the Enterprise Connect afternoon session on QoS & Network design for converged networks, hosted by John Bartlett of NetForecast. The speakers included representation from Cisco, Polycom, Apparent Networks, Netcraftsmen and our own Manfred Arndt from HP Networking’s Advanced Technology Group.

 

The session set out to demystify the things you need to support real-time multi-media traffic such as voice and video on your network, including QoS on LAN, WAN and the internet, SLAs, topology, mobility, and monitoring.
