Is Hosted VoIP Right for You? 6 Must-Ask Questions

We outline six questions you must ask when deciding whether to move your telephony system to a hosted VoIP provider, including questions about reliability, branch survivability, E911 capability and whether you�re looking for additional collaboration services. We also outline how to price a hosted VoIP option.

Understanding Flat Networks

A flat network or fabric provides more paths through the network and can maximize bandwidth and better support a highly virtualized data center. We'll look at standards-based approaches to designing a flat network, including TRILL and SPB, as well as proprietary implementations. We'll also discuss the implications of moving to a flat network and provide guidance to help you decide if this approach is right for your data center.

3 Paths To Network Convergence

Separate data and storage networks might have been necessary when Fast Ethernet was pitted against speedy, special-purpose Fibre Channel, but Ethernet's evolution has obviated most of the performance differences. We'll examine the trends behind network convergence, share exclusive research, and outline three deployment scenarios for those who want to merge data and storage networks.

Long-Distance LAN

Connecting two data centers for always-on applications is a tricky business. Perhaps the most critical decision is how to link themL keeping the application and virtualization software synchronized requires very low latency between the two data centers.We walk you through the challenges and evaluate the pros and cons of solutions such as VPLS and MLAG, as well dark fiber and dense wave division multiplexing.

Networking In A Virtualized World

Virtualization is rapidly evolving into a core element of next-generation data centers. This expanded role places new strains on the network. This report explore the technical issues exposed by virtualized infrastructure and looks at standards, technologies and best practices that can make your network ready to support virtualization.

Plan Now for the Hyperconverged Enterprise Network

In this Gartner report, industry analysts explain why changes in the business and application environment will result in up to 80% of end-user traffic moving to the WAN by 2014. This is a significant change to the old rule of thumb that 80% of traffic will stay within the enterprise LAN, and it means that network design is facing radical new requirements for network connectivity and performance. Find out how enterprises can modernize their network planning processes across IT groups to ensure they continue to meet business and end-user needs.
