Say, 300 VoIP devices now means your switches, routers and firewalls need to be configured and operated as if you have 300 new data systems (servers ,PC's) on your wire, but now with a different OS pushing data over the wire? Sure, it might be over different CAT5 and physical hardware, but conceptually it's the same, right?
