A lot of banks of Europe are increasing pair of IP speech (VoIP) investment. The report that in September 2004 Datamonitor publishs ” the network of line of business of European banking service develops a case ” point out, with the European company that finance concerns current first job realizes the confluence of speech and data namely.

England is famous bank Lloyds TSB is the among them person that above average. This bank announced on December 6, it plans to use about 70 thousand VoIP phones that offer by Cisco system company. This trades is a total prices that it and IBM sign is worth 500 million pound (namely 969 million dollar) the one part of the contract, also be Europe up to now one of the most large-scale VoIP deploy.

Lloyds TSB has more than 15 million clients in global each district, and have Europe’s biggest much channel branch sell a network. It owns about 4200 more than 2000 business sites, machine extraction a money and system of bank of a phone. This system should be received every year about hear more than 60000 telephone calls.

The switching equipment of special and automatic user that the speech infrastructure that this bank uses at present includes a tradition, communal exchange is received telephone network sth resembling a net, remotely service, VPN and can run a service, signed contract of about 30 suppliers with different supplier.

Its existing network system supports data to transmit only at present. Although this network supported a lot of agreements and technology in the past, but the environment that it is net of aether of a pure IP/ now, main node is large data center.

New contract of 7 years will invite this by a definite date all speech that this bank is in England and data flow pass DSL of a special and fiber-optic, Cisco and much agreement label to exchange (MPLS) the network undertakes handling. Link will be established directly between this network and shift and Wu of the be convinced in call.

The crucial component of this infrastructure includes telephone call of Cisco 7940G IP, cisco Catalyst? 6509 with 3560 switching equipment, cisco Aironet is wireless receive a point, cisco firewall, and the software of edition of Cisco CallManager 4.0 that is used at call processing.

This bank still will use meanses of a variety of compositive much professional work by implement, include to be aimed at ATM support and the Cisco 1800 series of small-sized business site among them; Apply to the Cisco 2800 series of medium-sized business site; And the Cisco 3845 that applies to large business site.

Finally, the content of series of Cisco CSS 11500 that this network still includes to be used at online study, cache and advertisement application serves switching equipment and module of Cisco content engine.

The construction of this network will cost 20 months. After build, this network will by IBM, cross a state management of collaboration of Vanco of business of fictitious network operation and Vtesse Networks of supplier of thousand optical network.

The adoption of network confluence and Cisco IP phone will reduce the management cost of Lloyds TSB, offer an agile, cost to be able to accuse at the same time, tall bandwidth, by the communication infrastructure that needs to supply. This infrastructure will satisfy the demand for service that this bank expands ceaselessly.

Lloyds TSB decides deploy compositive the network infrastructure that change, because IBM, Cisco, Vtesse and Vanco development went a kind of new fee to lead mode,basically be. This kind of mode considered a lot of special factors of British market.

Be in England, a lot of different operation business laid more than 40 thousand miles cable. But, the cable that at present real investment uses is occupied only about 5% among them.

In the meantime, british law forces the operation business BT with the mainest England to be able to offer a kind only very not agile cost leads a structure. This kind of cost leads a structure to cannot satisfy the requirement of business client, and make the shirt-sleeve speech of tall bandwidth and data service become very costly.

Use existing fiber-optic infrastructure, IBM, Cisco, Vtesse Networks and Vanco can provide a national special network for Lloyds TSB. This network can use existing optical network bandwidth, provide the shirt-sleeve speech that does not get traditional cost to lead a structure to restrict and data service.

Infrastructure includes this shirt-sleeve IP 3 main, have the vast region module that adds close function: A wave is divided answer with (DWDM) network of a core, MPLS and network of a special DSL.

The system that Vanco will provide different technique and rock-bottom and telegraphic supplier is compositive. The network government service that it provides still will include capacity program, change management, breakdown management and real time report to wait.

Regard business and system as compositive business, IBM is cooperating with Vtesse Networks, core of a fictitious and special net is offerred between main office spot. The tall bandwidth that offers by business of a group of operation will be passed between these office spots fiber-optic implementation interconnection, can provide very tall flexibility and cost efficiency thereby.

The benefit that this new environment can provide includes: Function — almost infinite bandwidth; Efficiency — do not use the cost of 1/4 will take in and send out in large quantities in the past rate promotion is eightfold; But expansibility and flexibility; Service safeguard; And service flexibility.

Apparent, lloyds TSB can not become England to use the bank of this kind of network exclusively.

But although be in other country, the enterprise still has sufficient reason to use shirt-sleeve infrastructure. One spot is seen in a series of about large-scale IP deploy informations that this releases recently from Cisco.

This is a kind of global trend, do not be confined to financial service industry, still reflect however in a lot of other industries, include among them: Manufacturing industry, for example Boeing company deploy phone of 4500 Cisco IP; Retail trade, for example Media-Saturn is in its retail network deploy phone of 40000 Cisco IP; Medium course of study, for example Reuter deploy phone of IP of more than 4600 Cisco.

So far, cisco has made work gave telephone call of more than 400 10 thousand IP. These phones with everyday 6000 speed is replacing traditional telephone call. Be in merely in the past 12 the middle of a month, cisco is in European area work off phone of more than 450 thousand IP.

The Chris Dedicoat of senior vice president of Cisco expressed a few days ago: “For the enterprise of dispersive to having height large network, IP phone can reduce administrative cost and difficulty, thereby managing and much fare. To Lloyds TSB, the adoption of IP phone will let them can become speech, video and data conformity a kind of rich multimedia to experience, transform their business communication pattern thoroughly thereby. Transform their business communication pattern thoroughly thereby..

The IT of Lloyds TSB is in charge of Igor Andronov complement to say: “The cost efficiency of infrastructure and flexibility obtain the IT that this project will let us of very old rate rise, and make our employee OK provide all sorts of services in time for the client.
