As Communication Service Providers (CSPs) increasingly begin to engage their long planned next generation strategy they all have one aspect in common.

As Communication Service Providers (CSPs) increasingly begin to engage their long planned next generation strategy they all have one aspect in common. They are faced with the mounting need to manage the convergence of their network layer in parallel with their services layer as it continues to grow. Over the past few years, multiple telecom infrastructure vendors have introduced unique disparate solutions to help bridge the converging network. However, this has resulted in a market approach which is very fragmented in regard to how these issues are being addressed and answers are being sought for the questions that inevitably come up as networks and applications converge.
