Nowhere: Microsoft's low-end focus and poor track record for reliability just doesn't make the grade for mission-critical apps today-and its one high-end offering, Windows 2000 Data Center Edition, still isn't ready.
Telephony has achieved extraordinary levels of reliability and consistency of service. The need for distributed power is one of the factors that reduce the reliability of data networks. Communications traffic is digitised, if it is not already a...
But this complexity can, of course, be outsourced to a service provider with the necessary skills. Much of the complexity stems from MPLS routing, and customers would need to learn new routing procedures, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
These services will generate both traffic and cash for mobile service providers, IDC said, generating revenues as high as $8bn in Western Europe in 2008. Mobile data traffic in Europe will be driven by a cocktail of consumer services, rather than...
This in my opinion gives you an opportunity to increase overall reliability, and is a strategy that we are already deploying. The benefits of voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) far outweigh the risks involved in putting all voice and data traffic...
They actually want to charge the profitable service providers for generating net traffic and users for consuming bits. So far so good but I think it is time for a subtle update in the face of accelerating commoditisation.
