On the road to that understanding, those involved need to collect information for each phase of deployment, and then follow through with the best architecture, deployment model, and implementation based on the data collected. Cisco IP Telephony: Planning, Design, Implementation, Operation, and Optimization is a guide for network architects and engineers as they deploy the Cisco IPT solution. With this book, you will master the PDIOO phases of the IPT solution, beginning with the requirements necessary for effective planning of a large-scale IPT network. From there, you'll follow a step-by-step approach to choose the right architecture and deployment model. Real-world examples and explanations with technical details, design tips, network illustrations, and sample configurations illustrate each step in the process of planning, designing, implementing, operating, and optimizing a chosen architecture based on information you have collected. In-depth instruction on each PDIOO phase provides specific details about the tasks involved and best practices for successful implementation of the IPT solution. This book also contains predesigned questionnaires and PDIOO assistance tools that help you determine the requirements of each phase of the PDIOO cycle. Authors Ramesh Kaza and Salman Asadullah have been involved with Cisco IPT solutions from the beginning and have planned, designed, and implemented major IPT networks using the guidelines found here. Cisco IP Telephony: Planning, Design, Implementation, Operation, and Optimization provides the step-by-step explanations, details, and best practices acquired by the authors while working with the top Cisco IPT customers. Ramesh Kaza, CCIEreg; No. 6207, is a technical leader at Cisco Systemsreg;, providing planning, design, and implementation support in deploying Cisco IP Communications solutions. Prior to working on IP communications, Ramesh was involved in validating the network designs for enterprise and service provider customers. He is a speaker at Cisco Networkers events and has presented the topics "Troubleshooting IPT Networks" and "Designing Large-Scale IPT Networks." Salman Asadullah, CCIE No. 2240, is a technical leader at Cisco Systems. As a recognized expert within Cisco and the industry, Salman has been designing and troubleshooting large-scale IP and multiservice networks for more than eight years. Salman represents Cisco on industry panel discussions and technical platforms such as NANOG, APRICOKaza, Ramesh is the author of 'Cisco Ip Telephony Planning, Design, Implementation, Operation, and Optimization', published 2005 under ISBN 9781587051579 and ISBN 1587051575.
