Extreme Networks White Paper A Two-Tier Architecture for Converged Networks

This paper discusses the key requirements that IT organizations should consider when building a network. In brief, the network should provide high availability, voice-quality network connections, comprehensive security and ease of management and operations. We will introduce the concept of the two-tier architecture as a way to effectively achieve these four stated requirements and the benefits of migrating from a three-tier network architecture to a more streamlined two-tier architecture. Individual network components become the building blocks in delivering a streamlined and effective network capable of meeting the demands of current and future business convergence initiatives.
