In most data centers, DCIM rests on a shaky foundation of manual record keeping and scattered documentation. OpManager replaces data center documentation with a single repository for data, QRCodes for asset tracking, accurate 3D mapping of asset locations, and a configuration management database (CMDB). In this webcast, sponsored by ManageEngine, you will see how a real-world datacenter mapping stored in racktables gets imported into OpManager, which then provides a 3D visualization of where assets actually are. You'll also see how the QR Code generator helps you make the link between real assets and the monitoring world, and how the layered CMDB provides a single point of view for all your configuration data.

Verizon Launches Nationwide Ethernet VPN Service

Posted by Amy Larsen DeCarlo

Verizon Business introduced an Ethernet-based wide area networking service this week for enterprises that want to connect multiple, geographically-distributed offices while retaining control of their network bandwidth--and costs.

Carrier Ethernet adoption is slow largely because of poor geographic coverage, but Verizon Business' announcement is as much about their E-VPLS service as it is about trials of deploying Carrier Ethernet. In Verizon's case, in a single metro area Carrier Ethernet is either dropped onto existing SONET rings or is actually switched from point to point. Verizon's E-VPLS service should mean faster and less costly deployments anywhere Verizon services are offered as well as reducing costs to locations that are off-net.

Verizon's Ethernet Virtual Private LAN Service (E-VPLS), available now in most place in the United States, allows organizations to modify the speed of their WANs to accommodate voice, video, or data in order to keep their network operations efficient--and paying for only the bandwidth they truly need. Enterprise customers can regulate bandwidth on their networks from 1 Mbps to 1 Gbps with the service, according to Verizon.
