  2. iPad Exploding Onto Enterprise Networks

  3. iPad Network Considerations • Network traffic types must be considered • Other network users can’t have degraded access • Critical traffic may need to be prioritized • iPads and mobile devices must receive specific treatment from the network • Device convenience and usability must be maintained

  4. iPad apps are here for the Enterprise • Traditional communication vendors entering the mobile apps fray • Example: Avaya Flare is a VoIP, Unified Communications and Video capable client for the iPad • Just one of many new applications targeting communications in the enterprise on the iPad • Ease of use dramatically increases user communication and network use • - Traffic is leaving the wired network and will expose an underperforming WLAN infrastructures
