Nortel taunts Cisco: Nexus taint no Lexus |
This week the battle heated up even more at VoiceCon Orlando 2008, where Nortel presented their solutions as providing up to seven times the resiliency and about 20 times the performance at up to 50 percent of the total cost of ownership than competing Cisco products, according to independent test reports. The test reports from The Tolly Group and InfoTech, commissioned by Nortel, tested a head-to-head comparison with Cisco's similar local area network and data center products for unified communications. Nortel’s end-to-end data networking portfolio is a key component of the company’s Unified Communications strategy, providing the resilient, high-performance infrastructure required for real-time applications, while at the same time improving business productivity. Nortel also announced enhancements to its mobile unified communications portfolio: Nortel Infuses Mobile Phones With Powerful Unified Communications Capabilities Many existing data networks are limited in their ability to support unified communications solutions. Sub-optimal network reliability and performance in addition to a high cost of ownership compromises the productivity gains and cost savings from unified communications. Unified communications enable simple, one-click access to phone features such as IM and videoconferencing from the desktop.
As part of Nortel’s commitment to lower energy consumption, the company has introduced the Nortel Energy Efficiency Calculator. With an energy consumption modeling capability, the calculator helps IT professionals achieve energy reductions of up to 50 percent. This helps network planners analyze the impact of current or planned network infrastructure deployments to support unified communications.
