IP Multimedia Infrastructure

Over the past 10 years, corporate technology infrastructures have focused on 3 and 4 layer architectures to separate data from application and access.

In the past year, technology has needed to embrace multimedia content, collaboration and multiple access devices.

This has led to Service Oriented Architectures, also commonly known as web services.

As content is no longer a static data delivery, collaboration and mashup tools are expected as part of the corporate IT infrastructure.

As companies seek to capture their collective employee intelligence, and to offer its customers new ways of using its assets, the infrastructures today are breaking open to support widely varying and exciting uses.

Typical IT infrastructure today is based on:

• Virtualization - centralizing both data and applications in a shared processing environment.
• IP Multimedia Subsystems [IMS] has received a great deal of coverage over the past few years, and deservedly so – IMS is a major step forward for IP networks of all forms, both wired and wireless.
• Service Oriented Architectures - further separating content from the access and programming language dependence.
• MashUp API's - tools which allow consumers access to content and the ability to reconfigure the content from multiple sources into a single content item.
