Open Services Networking (OSN) is a 3Com initiative for creating a single integrated networking platform that can be customized to the needs of any network environment. Exemplifying 3Com's continuing industry leadership, it delivers:
- Innovative, flexible solutions
- Rapid deployment of new services
- Cost savings — CAPEX and OPEX
- Lasting investment protection
- Increased control of business operations
At a time when so much more is expected from networks than basic connectivity, OSN-enabled solutions help economically address business challenges as they arise — stretching budgets while improving an organization's ability to respond quickly to evolving needs.
A flexible OSN hardware and software architecture increases the business benefits of routers and switches by enabling them to:
- Provide IP telephony services using an existing data network
- Safeguard the network and ensure secure access to it
- Enhance wireless connectivity to support business mobility
- Ensure optimal network performance
- Facilitate the provisioning of applications that address specific business issues such as improving network and application visibility, application performance, security and compliance
- Decrease network management effort and expense by minimizing the number of separate network devices that must be deployed and administered
- Take advantage of third-party best-of-breed solutions
