The trend towards IP convergence has multiple consequences for business-oriended telecommunications infrastructures :
  • Networks are multiservice : historical data applications are completed by multimedia and mobility services. Telephony over IP deployments and WiFi extension are two waves of an inexorable evolution, leading to networks where devices will become unnumbered and from various natures. This leads to new challenges for network administrators.

  • Public IP addresses are scarce and expensive : Service providers deploy private networks in order to delay a migration towards IPv6. But before 2010, IPv6 is likely to become unavoidable. It will trigger massive changes in the current network management landscape.

  • Users are network-dependent : worries are increasing concerning the security and availability of the network because it may impact seriously business operations.

Adipsys is a spinoff of Orange Labs. The company develops network management solutions to assist administrators in the deployment and management of convergent infrastructures.
