Prepare Your Network for Enterprise VoIP
(E-01)
Wednesday - 09/12/07, 8:15-9:00am
As enterprises increasingly consider VoIP it becomes apparent that among the considerations they need to be aware of is preparing their network to carry converged voice and data traffic. The speakers will educate the audience on why and how to do a network assessment. Subjects covered will include:
• Common misconceptions about voice quality
• Types of problems that lurk in the network
• The practical steps involved in performing a preliminary network assessment before VoIP is installed
• How to perform a post-installation assessment
• How to verify that VoIP is working effectively over the data network
• The value of the network assessment — and risks of not doing it; and more.

Make Your Transition to VoIP a Success!
(E-02)
Wednesday - 09/12/07, 9:15-10:00am
Establishing a plan to transition voice communications to the data network is a complex process with many uncertainties. Without the right information, IT directors are forced to make poorly informed decisions that can directly affect the future of corporate communications. This session is all about making the transition to VoIP, from analyzing and preparing the network to providing a bridge between the VoIP equipment and legacy TDM equipment, to considering hybrid TDM/IP solutions on the way to a full VoIP deployment.

Decisions Decisions… Hosted Versus Premise based VoIP Deployment
(E-03)
Wednesday - 09/12/07, 10:15-11:00am
Every enterprise that has already chosen to deploy VoIP still has another decision to make. “Should we bring the solution in-house and manage it on premises, or should we opt for a hosted solution?” Both options offer certain benefits and certain drawbacks in terms of cost, management, flexibility, and so on. If you’re already sold on the benefits of moving your phone system to IP, but you still have questions over how to deploy, then this session is right for you. Don’t miss out!

Video Makes Its Way Into the Enterprise
(E-04)
Wednesday - 09/12/07, 12:45-1:30pm
Video communications for the enterprise is coming sooner than you think! With IP telephony becoming more widespread, video conferencing technology has progressed, and it is moving from boardroom systems to desktop systems and from isolated end-points to systems that are integrated with the corporate IP-PBX. In addition, video has moved from ISDN (H.320) to video over IP (H.323, SIP) — ushering in a whole host of benefits. This session will examine what new capabilities are available and the value added with the integration of video with the enterprise IP-PBX.

It will consider the types of attackers, their motivations, and the attacks that have been observed on a wide variety of real deployments. It will then explain the various mechanisms that are available to provide authentication, authorization, integrity, and confidentiality.
