Next-generation networks need to converge on a new services architecture as much as they need to converge on IP transport. In this audio/visual TMT Advisor Planners Guide, CIMI Corp. President Tom Nolle talks about the evolution of the network services layer, tracing it from the one-network-per-service era, to today's more converged architecture. What comes next is the key. Nolle addresses the next steps in the next-gen services architecture evolution -- a model that uses common components and key technologies to eliminate remaining services silos.
