Forward-thinking education leaders recognize the need for a network infrastructure that can simultaneously handle voice, video, and data traffic, enabling such advances as streaming video and audio, voice over IP, and other 21st-century applications. Getting there can be fraught with difficulties and many times network security is an after thought.

Effectively integrating voice, video, and data systems in today's schools requires careful planning, communication, and cooperation across several departments. Use of the current infrastructure for convergence puts even more strain on what is an already overloaded and unsecure network. Network engineeers and consultants at Capital Data Service, Inc. work hand-in-hand with key personnel within school systems to assist in assuring an infrastructure is capable of supporting convergence while maintaining security and data integrity throughout the network.

Using proactive monitoring and maintenance of network activities, CDS continues to insure the converged infrastructure remains stable yet flexible as demands for bandwidth increase and security risks increase. School systems partnering with CDS to provide converged network infrastructure services and support realize an increase in network uptime and are able to meet increasing budget constraints as well as liability.

Whether you are midstream in converged network planning, at the beginning stage of planning or your converged network is already in place CDS has a solution to insure a secure and reliable infrastructure.
