For all its reliability, the TDM network lacks flexibility to create and deliver services quickly. Carriers had to create rigid silos per service: one each for voice, data, video and special offerings. But with the advent of the IMS (IP multimedia subsystem) network architecture, a new approach to enabling convergence is emerging that lets wireless and wireline carriers use a common IP foundation to deliver a host of multimedia and traditional services across any access channel.

expression comes from an approach which does not share/cooperate/cross work boundaries

: `silos' - isolated, stand-alone solutions/structures, without any interaction among them

: possibly related to pipes (in the IT sense)?// The intention was humorous, and in any case 'silos' sounds like high jargon.

dedicated servers
Dedicated servers, that is computer units that handled only one particular task, like video or data or voice. If the load on one server was low it could not be put to use for processing other stuff, thus load-balancing was not possible. In other words, interchangeability did not exist, leading to wastage of resources and investments, these apparently are corrected in the alternative, IMS.
