Advantages and disadvantages of convergence of technology

Answered by admin @



The advantage of a converged network is that both telephony and data ride on the same infrastructure. If that’s done right, it costs less to operate than two sets of infrastructure. Of course, there are still companies that manage to mess that up.

The disadvantage of a converged network is that you’ve put all of your eggs in one basket: if the network has a problem, then both data and telephony feel the affects. We call this fate sharing. It also means that all of the antiquated employees who you have on staff that have spent their lives running the telephony network are redundant. In general, they will not be capable of being retrained to help run the converged network as they are too stuck in the old ways to accept retraining. Further, they’re likely to be union workers, so essentially can’t be fired. You’ll likely have to pay them to drink coffee for the rest of the careers.

The economics of this are so compelling that I don’t know of a single company still running dual networks. And that shows just how old and pointless this textbook question really is.
