So you get a 'data tone' whenever opening up a computer, and all the data you need to do your job is available, correct and in the format you need. It's not about the network anymore. Icore breaks down the information grid into three levels. Network management is the foundation and includes bandwidth shaping, congestion control, quality of service and fault tolerance. Security is also a part of this level and comprises items such as encryption, virtual private networks and firewalls.
Enterprise management is the third level.
In an organization, these technologies allow network administration to take place in a central location from the desktop. This helps determine how to manage information assets. This year, what's hot is remote collaboration, intelligent information management classrooms that include interactive video distance learning and collaboration, virtual meeting rooms and, most of all, a common look and feel to services, but it has to be tailored to what the individual user wants, Icore maintains. Requirements vary and depend on the end-user. This testbed environment shows customers that they will not have to be tied to one vendor.
