  1. Networks – Past, Present, and Future Cisco Systems and Department of Management Services Division of Telecommunications

  2. Networks of the Past • Protocol Specific • Speed Specific • Connection Oriented • End-to-end Topology • Poor Security • Everything Wired • Limited Network Management

  3. Networks of Today • IP Based/Ethernet-Metro • Any-to-Any Speed • Connectionless • Any-to-Any Connectivity • Converged Network Still A Challenge • Converged Services • Increased Wireless Footprint • Bandwidth-on-Demand: Not There Yet! • Frame Predominant WAN Protocol • 5 9’s Performance Expectation

  4. Networks of Today - MyFloridaNet We Have a Tendency to go Back by … - Keeping Applications Separate instead of using QOS and Other Network Features - Private VRF’s - Multiple PVC’s – Protocol Specific - Turf Issues interfere with Convergence

  5. Networks of Today • Good performance and good value • Centralized management tools • Centralized security • Still very static and Org chart centric • We can do better

  6. Networks of the Future • Unified Communications • Network Used not Solely as Communications Platform but as a Convergence Tool • Integrated Tools • Must Support Cloud Computing • Regular and Emergency Prioritization of Traffic for E-911 and Law Enforcement • Security is Built in at All Levels • Greater Wireless integration

  7. Networks of the Future • Technology is Great But Not Enough for the Network of Tomorrow • Does it Allow for the Convergence of Applications? • E911 Running Next to SCADA Services • Does it Leverage Different Network Services to Increase Network Availability and Robustness

  8. Networks of the Future • Technology is Great But Not Enough for the Network of Tomorrow (cont.) • Future Network Needs to be Flexible Enough to be Used as a effective Business Tool that Turns Technology into a Service that’s: • Easier to Incorporate into your Business • Easier to Control (Management) • Easier to Manage (Technical Staff) • Easier to Acquire (Procurement/Budget) • Simple to Use (End User)

  9. Networks of the Future • Technology has to be Controlled by Strong Governance • Does it provide • Security • Span Of Control • Scope of Command • Measures that can Verify Quality and Effectiveness • Standardization • Common Set of Tools for ease of Training, Codification, and Certification

  10. Conclusion • Questions • Thank you
