Dallas, TX (1888PressRelease) April 18, 2013 - Award winning benchmarking, sourcing and transformation, and network advisory firm, Alsbridge, Inc., today released a new report - "Best Management Practices for Next Generation Converged Networks-Part 1". Part one of a two part series, this whitepaper lays down some of the best management practices, helping network managers address the challenges they face every day in delivering expected flawless performance to all end users in their enterprise.

Next Generation Converged Networks are borderless networks that support multimedia and multi-modal transactions, operated with a simplified management structure in which the applications are prioritized for optimal performance.

While today's network and infrastructure teams do a heroic job of enabling their businesses' next generation converged networks to process requests quickly, and handle the exploding demands of voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), video over IP, enterprise applications and access to cloud solutions and data centers, their efforts are frequently subverted by a range of internal and external factors.

"Even the best-architected networks can suffer from mild to major execution issues. But, just as with a brand new, hot off the assembly line Toyota Prius or top-of-the-line Cadillac, management and users simply expect flawless performance," says Ben Trowbridge, Chairman and CEO, Alsbridge Inc., "And they have no interest in technical excuses if service is sub-par."

This report elucidates some guidelines on visibility tools and big data for the data network, that will enable network managers to enhance their network operations, make better, more disciplined decisions, and provide superior service to their enterprise-wide customers.
