Where the Cloud Touches Down: Simplifying Data Center Infrastructure Management

Thursday, July 25, 2013
10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET

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.

A Network Computing Webinar:
SDN First Steps

Thursday, August 8, 2013
11:00 AM PT / 2:00 PM ET

This webinar will help attendees understand the overall concept of SDN and its benefits, describe the different conceptual approaches to SDN, and examine the various technologies, both proprietary and open source, that are emerging. It will also help users decide whether SDN makes sense in their environment, and outline the first steps IT can take for testing SDN technologies.

Motorola WiNGS It's Way To A New Wireless Architecture

November 11, 2010 10:30 AM
Controller-based wireless networks might be the norm today, but Motorola is challenging the conventional wisdom of big wireless control boxes. With wireless devices spreading like weeds and the rise of 802.11n, Motorola's interesting new WiNG 5 framework just may be a sign of things to come in the WLAN market.

Cisco's Curious Choice For New High-Speed Wireless Bridges

September 23, 2010 12:00 PM
The 802.11 wireless standard includes bridging, and Cisco's history with wireless bridge products is long and distinguished. When Cisco purchased Aironet back in 1999, the networking giant started down the path towards what would become market domination in wired access and bridging, but Cisco hasn't been what anyone would call progressive when it comes to their wireless bridge product line.

Up, Up, And Away With Meru Networks And Aircell

September 15, 2010 03:00 PM
Putting network connectivity in the hands of airline passengers is not a new idea. Back in 2001, I spent considerable time talking with Boeing's Connexion team about their new on-board client access initiative. With a BS in Aeronautics and a career in IT, I couldn't get enough of the story about networks that streak across the sky. Unfortunately, Boeing ultimately couldn't make a profitable go of it, using satellite modems and then-current wireless technology. Connexion quietly closed up shop in 2006 for lack of demand versus high cost of equipment and aircraft retrofit. But times and technology change fast, and there are new players in the airborne WiFi game. A few weeks ago, Meru Networks announced their partnership with Aircell, and this generation of in-flight client access has a much better chance of making good.

LitePoint Is First To Offer A One-Box Solution For IEEE 802.11p Testing

September 14, 2010 09:36 AM
LitePoint Corporation, the leader in wireless test solutions, is the first to offer a one-box solution that meets the testing needs of 802.11p devices. The IEEE 802.11p 2010 standard, published in July, defines mechanisms that allow IEEE 802.11 technology, also known as WiFi, to be used in high-speed radio environments typical of automobiles and trucks. In these environments, IEEE 802.11p enables robust and reliable car-to-car and car-to-curb communications by addressing challenges such as extreme Doppler shifts, rapidly changing multipath conditions, and the need to quickly establish a link and exchange data instantly.

Xirrus Advocates For Pure Wireless Environments

August 13, 2010 01:16 PM
Anyone with a pulse in IT knows that wireless networking is muscling out wired Ethernet at home and in business. At a recent Aruba Networks' conference, I was struck by the real-world relevance of the event's running mantra of "wireless where you can, wired where you must." That simple phrase is playing out in my own very large WLAN, where wireless pervades as the main connectivity option for most users, with the patch cable still revered for a shrinking minority of devices. In a recent TCMnet interview, Xirrus CEO Dirk Gates explained how his philosophy goes even further into kissing off wired Ethernet to the desktop through deployment of Xirrus 802.11n Wi-Fi arrays.

Meraki Boosts Cloud-Based WLAN With Traffic Control, Other New Features

August 11, 2010 10:00 AM
Meraki has long been at the tip of the spear in cloud-based wireless networking, delivering feature parity with the industry's top solutions providers while leaving heavyweight controllers out of the picture. Instead of wireless switches that provide the intelligence behind the contemporary wireless network, Meraki hosts this typically expensive and often maintenance-heavy building block in the cloud, greatly simplifying the components needed to pull off a top-notch WLAN.

Getting To Know 4G

July 21, 2010 10:30 AM
Just like 802.11n was a world-shaker in the WiFi realm, mobile telecommunications networks are beginning to experience a significant leap forward in capability. And just like with the "artistic marketing license" taken by WiFi 11n makers (9 times the old stuff! 6 times bigger this and that!), you have to dig through the PR to figure out what's really coming with the new 4G (4th Generation) mobile networks.

Trapeze Networks Unveils New, Affordable 802.11n Wireless Solution

July 19, 2010 09:26 AM
Trapeze Networks, a Belden Brand and leader in enterprise wireless LAN equipment and management software, today announced the availability of three new product platforms in its 802.11n solution family - the Mobility Exchange (MX) 800R, a scalable 802.11n wireless networking controller, and the Mobility Point (MP) 522 and 522E, affordable 802.11n indoor and outdoor wireless access points (APs).

The Thrill Of 802.11n

July 12, 2010 09:00 AM
Remember back to when you got your first big-kid bike, with adjustable gears and big wheels? Remember going down a sizable hill for the first time on those new wheels, and how you just knew life would never be the same? Migrating your wireless network to 802.11n rekindles those memories, and when you realize exactly what you've got in the latest wireless standard, everything that came before it seems suddenly tame by comparison.

Firetide Expands Wireless Offerings To Serve Converged Space

July 07, 2010 09:18 AM
Firetide, a company focused on delivering wireless infrastructure mesh networks, is expanding into wireless LAN and point-to-point products to serve more enterprise wireless needs. The company is introducing four new products, scheduled to ship this quarter, to serve the WLAN and point-to-point markets. WLAN, for wireless local area network, consists of a series of access points that transmit a signal so that devices that pick it up can access the Internet.
