Storage for Nontraditional IT Applications
Published in Hubbert Smith, Data Center Storage, 2016
Increasingly, e-mail systems are used for the inbox for more than just email. E-mail is being used for voicemail, and this is for good reason: storage for e-mail is a fraction of the cost of storage for voicemail. E-mail, specifically Microsoft Outlook, includes a unified messaging capability: e-mail as well as voice, fax, auto-attendant, and Outlook voice-access. But that’s just one example; here are a few more: Surveillance cameras are increasingly IP (ethernet)-based and connect to computers.Voice Over IP Protocol (VOIP) phone systems are computers that have handsets, voicemail and network interfaces.Smart cellular telephones interface with voice systems, voicemail systems, e-mail systems, and Web systems.E-mail easily handles attachments, including audio voicemail, scanned images, and faxes.E-mail is translatable text; voice can be converted to text and translatedSurveillance video is time-stamped, point-of-sale transactions are time-stampedMapping, global positioning, phone communications, text communications, e-mail communications, and delivery point-of-sale transactions are increasingly becoming merged.Network convergence is the efficient coexistence of telephone, video and data communication within a single network. The use of multiple communication modes in a single network offers convenience and flexibility not possible with separate infrastructures. Network convergence is also called media convergence.Source:searchnetworkingchannel.techtarget.com
Evaluation of video payload over low latency networks: Flexilink

Flexilink is an RT network solution based on the modified Ethernet concept. It can provide superior quality for professional live multimedia transmission along with a solution for best effort data as well enabling network convergence. The Flexilink network overcomes the problems in IP network with the help of efficient packet scheduling and traffic awareness. To provide QoS to audio and video streams, Flexilink reserves network resources prior to the transmission from the sender to receiver as in circuit-switched networks like asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) and ISDN. This project is to investigate the potential of the Flexilink network in delivering RT video over converged networks.
