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.

Force10 Introduces High Performance 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet Top-of-Rack Switch

October 07, 2010 09:32 AM
Force10 Networks, Inc., a global technology leader that data center, service provider and enterprise customers rely on when the network is their business, today announced the extension of its S-Series??? family with the new S55 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) top-of-rack (ToR) access switch. Optimized for data center environments, the new S55 provides a resilient and energy-efficient hardware design that delivers non-blocking, line-rate switching performance as well as support for the Force10 Open Automation Framework to make virtualized data center environments more responsive and manageable.

Netgear Enters The 10Gb Switch Market

October 06, 2010 09:00 AM
Netgear has announced two new products, the ProSafe 24-port 10 GE Managed L2+ Switch (XSM7224S) 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch and the Netgear ProSafe Network Management System (NMS200). The NMS200 enables IT administrators to discover, configure, monitor, and manage all Netgear Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches through a consistent interface from one console. In the future, the NMS200 is expected to be able to manage other Netgear products and may be able to manage products from other vendors, as well.

Broadcom Delivers Industry's Broadest Portfolio of Energy Efficient Ethernet Silicon Solutions

October 04, 2010 09:36 AM
Broadcom Corporation, a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, today announced that it has the industry's broadest portfolio of available silicon solutions supporting the newly ratified IEEE Std. 802.3az-2010 Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard.

Vitesse Delivers Lowest Power Carrier Ethernet Functionality For Stackable Enterprise Applications

September 27, 2010 09:49 AM
Vitesse Semiconductor Corporation, a leading provider of advanced IC solutions for Carrier and Enterprise networks, today introduced a simplified, low-power solution for high-density Gigabit Ethernet(GE) switching with its VSC7432 (E-StaX-III-48) and VSC7434 (E-StaX-III-68). When combined with Vitesse's SimpliPHY GE PHYs, the E-StaX-III GE switch engines set a new benchmark, delivering 30 percent lower power consumption than competitive solutions in a three-chip design, and making them ideal for cost-effective managed Layer 2 and Layer 3 stackable Enterprise switches.

Vitesse Adds To Synchronous Ethernet Portfolio With Dual-Port Gigabit Ethernet PHY

September 13, 2010 09:51 AM
Vitesse Semiconductor Corporation, a leading provider of advanced IC solutions for Carrier and Enterprise networks, is addressing the cost and power optimization needs in wireless base station and mobile backhaul markets by offering a two-port version of its popular SimpliPHY VSC8664 Quad PHY-layer device. The new VSC8662 is ideal for lower cost, lower power, and lower port count wireless and access equipment requiring Carrier Ethernet features such as timing synchronization across links.

Are The Networking Leaders Ready For A Shakeup?

September 10, 2010 09:07 AM
Being the market leader has its advantages. You set the agenda, for instance, but every so often the agenda is driven by outside forces. In technology, this happens when a new standard is going to become widely adopted, and at that point there is a chance for one of the third or forth-place companies to become the new leader. We saw this when storage area networking came to prominence, and we may be seeing it again as we potentially reach the end of spanning tree protocol (STP).

The Deal On FCoE

September 09, 2010 11:00 AM
In the 500 or so years it feels like I've been working with computers of one sort or another, I've noticed that shiny new technologies follow similar trajectories. With FCoE, we've reached what Gartner calls the "Peak of Inflated Expectations," and what I call the "ATM Can Fix Everything" moment, named after the timely combination of IBM introducing desktop ATM cards and a Visa commercial in the mid 1990s. As we head towards the "Trough of Disillusionment" we need to take a good hard look at where FCoE is a good fit and where it could be overkill or resume dressing.

BridgeWave and Broadband Antenna Tracking System (BATS) Create Industry-First Auto-Tracking High-Capacity Wireless Systems

September 07, 2010 09:36 AM
BridgeWave Communications and Broadband Antenna Tracking Systems (BATS) today announced the successful integration of BATS' automatic antenna aiming and tracking technology and BridgeWave's high-capacity wireless radio systems. BridgeWave is the first company to deliver wireless full-rate gigabit Ethernet systems that provide network connectivity during movement.

Exar Delivers Optimized Solution For Dual GbE Transport In 2.5G Wavelength Division Multiplexing Application

August 16, 2010 09:47 AM
Exar Corporation today introduced an optimized Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Mapper for access and transport applications. The GEM250 SoC and included DeviceManager software enable rapid development and deployment of dual GbE transport solutions for Coarse/Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (C/DWDM) networks.

AppliedMicro Low Power 10GBASE-T PHY Provides Data Centers With Immunity To Electromagnetic Interference

July 12, 2010 10:11 AM
Applied Micro Circuits Corporation, or AppliedMicro today announced the Triveni APM9689x product family, the industry's smallest dual and quad port, low power 100/1000/10GBASE-T physical layer ICs (PHYs) with MACsec (Media Access Control Security engine) and energy saving modes such as EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) and WOL(Wake-on-LAN). Triveni is the first 10GBASE-T PHY to cancel interference due to walkie-talkies, cell phones and other wireless devices to solve a critical technology challenge for robust, high-speed Ethernet connections for the data center.
