SD-WAN projects are an opportunity to leverage a new technology. Most SD-WAN projects also aim to capture substantial savings by deploying less expensive bandwidth or renegotiating contracts. But without careful attention to detail, the forecasted savings may not materialize.

Network Transformation Best Practices-Working.pptxAlan Percy
Despite the wishes of the equipment makers and regulators, there still is a lot of TDM circuits and equipment in the global telecommunications network. How do we know? We talk to service providers every day that are working in mixed TDM and IP networks. What we have found is that Service providers are often challenged with navigating the complications of migrating their network to IP infrastructure, dealing with new regulatory mandates, replacing obsolete technologies, and finding the expertise to make the transition.
To help our customers make the transition, TelcoBridges has invited ZT Technology Solutions to join us as our newest Alliance Partner, bringing a host of experience in planning service provider migrations from TDM to IP.
During this event, we discuss our Network Transformation strategy, get to meet the team from ZT Technology Solutions and hear their FIVE best network transformation practices. Best of all, we have saved some time to answer your questions.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)

8. Management
Considera&ons
• Moving

increases
likelihood
of
losing
key
technical
staff
• Are
we
looking
at
fully
hosted,
IaaS,
PaaS
or
a

Or
is
there
a
migra&on
route?
• How
do
you
find
a
commercial
vendor
who
understands
the
HE
culture?
• If
staying
in
HE
sector,
how
do
you
get
a
good
service?
• How
do
we
get
our
Board
of
Governors
and
Exec
Board
to
agree
to
our
chosen
route?
9. Our
solu&on
and
route-‐map
1. Standardize

2. Re-‐design
the

so
that
there

2. We
have
virtualised
90%
of
our
applica&ons
–
except
for
Agresso
and
Blackboard–
because
these
vendors
have
not
yet
agreed
that
they
can
support
fully
virtualised
applica&ons
3. We
have
developed
a
detailed
plan
–
and
contracted
with
ULCC
for
the
hosted
Data
Centre
and
Maidstone
Studios
for
the
DR
centre
4.
We
have
worked
with
JANET
to
ensure
that
ALL
of
our
network
connec&ons
and
upgrades
will
be
available
on
&me
5.
We
are
working
with
HP
to
deliver
the
required
HP
hardware
…
and
are
busy
execu&ng
the
plan
…
So
how
did
we
select
our
partners?
What
is
our
view
of
the
state
of
the
market?
13. Finding
an
In-‐sector
Hos&ng
partner
1. We
wrote
to
all
UCISA
Directors
in
November
2012
to
ask
who
had
recently
built
a
Data
Centre,
who
was
planning
to
do
so?
2.
We
found
several
HEIs
who
were
keen
to
discuss
whether
we
would
hire
racks
in
their
exis&ng
Data
Centres
3. We
discussed
some
anrac&ve
prices
(under
£12k
per
rack
per
year)
but
we
were
worried
about
their
experience
of
providing
a
hosted
service
etc.
5.
We
looked
at
ULCC
–
and
were
very
impressed
by
their
set-‐up.
They
•
Matched
commercial
vendors
in
environment
•
Understood
the
HE
culture
•
Very
cost-‐efficient
•
Future
benefits
for
IaaS,
PaaS
•
Poten&al
for
managed
services
(Unit4
Finances,
Moodle
etc.)
14. Finding
a
Commercial
Hos&ng
partner
1. We
did
not
wish
to
write
or
conduct
a
full
OJEU
Tender
–
hence
we
were
restricted
to
using
Government
frameworks
or
the
JANET
Brokerage
framework
if
we
wanted
a
full
Data
Centre,
mul&-‐year
Agreement
2.
The
G-‐Cloud
had
very
many
poten&al
vendors
but
the
focus
was
on
virtualiza&on
but
our
priority
was
having
no
physical
hardware
at
Maidstone
by
July
2014.
3.
We
began
discussions
with
a
company
on
the
JANET
Brokerage
but
found
that
their
costs
were
way
in
excess
of
what
we
could
afford
(>£20k/year
per
rack)
Overall,
we
were
not
happy
with
the
choice
of
Commercial
vendors
–
and
felt
that
we
did
not
have
the
experience
(or
inclina&on!)
to
teach
them
how
to
work
within
HE
4. Finally
we
found
a
poten&al
vendor
(Maidstone
Studios)
close
to
our
home,
who
•
already
had
a
business
rela&onship
with
UCA
–
•
have
an
Award
wining
Data
Centre
•
Understood
the
HE
culture
(-‐
already
hos&ng
UCA
Broadcast
Media
Courses)
•
are
very
cost-‐efficient
15. So…
Who
did
we
choose…
and
why?
1. JANET
to
provide
our
Data
Network
–
cost
effec&ve
and
responsive
2.
HP
to
provide
the
servers
for
our
DR
site
–
they
already
provide
the
servers
for
our
current
environment,
worked
closely
with
us
reviewing
our
server
and
SAN
technical
solu&on
and
offering
to
support
during
installa&on.
3.
Maidstone

to
provide
our

environment
4.
ULCC

racks
(5+
racks)
5.
SYSPRO
to
support

implement
the

solu&on
6.
Addi&onal
contractors
to
backfill
2
technical
roles
so
that
we
can
dedicate
our
key
technical
staff
to
focus
almost
solely
on
this
project
We
have
kept
our
contracts
to
no
more
than
2
years
because
we
that
technology
is
changing
con&nually.
There
could
be
alterna&ves
in
the
near
future
and….
we
might
want
to
move
from
IaaS
to
PaaS
(and
SaaS)
within
the
next
2-‐3
years…
16. So…How
are
we
doing
it?
1. Upgrade
our
network
environment
&
implement
resilient
routes
for
all
campuses
2. Setup
HP
3PAR

migrate
4. We
will
install
the
DR

in
Maidstone

and
test
thoroughly
5. We
will
select
a
‘long

and
fail
over

6. We
will
physically
transport
our
remaining
servers
up
to
ULCC
(the
new

bed
them

and
test
thoroughly
5.
We
will
‘fail
