networking and IP infrastructure

The entire networking and IP infrastructure is based on Cisco switches. This system has over 1,000 network ports helping local employees connect to the European centres. The development centres co-exist in the East and the West and the Internet infrastructure forms the backbone of the company business, providing the necessary connectivity. "We opted for Cisco lease finance
which helped us save costs and thereby better manage our cash flows. This has meant that we did not have to block our funds for, say, about three years as the funding was financed by Cisco Capital." The lease plan comes at a nominal value and does not require much upfront payment, he says. It protects against technology obsolescence by allowing Invensys to upgrade to new technology, says Vadlamani.
