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.

FCoE: It's The Network And It Ain't There Yet

August 14, 2009 06:47 PM
While the FC part of FCoE has been adopted by T11 the underlying enhancements to Ethernet still have to make it through the notoriously ponderous IEEE. FCoE won't live up to its hype of merging FC and Ethernet until networking vendors without skin in the storage game start shipping DCB enabled switches with something better than spanning tree and that will require additional standards.

Cisco on FCoE: Masters of Convergence

June 19, 2009 08:55 AM
I am completely amazed at how the masters of convergence somehow managed to get several football teams (Fibre Channel vendors) and soccer teams (InfiniBand vendors) to play for all the marbles in a new basketball (Ethernet) league against the perennial world champion Cisco team. I think Cisco is well positioned to succeed in the new league.

Tech Road Map: Keep An Eye On Virtual I/O

June 08, 2009 04:41 PM
Multicore servers can consolidate 20 or more production servers into each virtual server host, but feeding these servers enough I/O bandwidth has become a major headache for many data centers.

IBM and FCoE: The Unified Networking Superstore

June 05, 2009 05:28 PM
Depending on adoption cycles, 16-Gbps Fibre Channel could delay the emergence of native 10-Gbps FCoE storage. And iSCSI could be the spoiler, giving customers the Ethernet-based unified networking they want. FCoE from then on serves as a bridge to what becomes legacy Fibre Channel and FCoE storage.

IBM Expands System x/BladeCenter Networking with QLogic Solutions

June 03, 2009 07:13 PM
While Fibre Channel continued its reign at the top of the enterprise network food chain, Ethernet turned out to be a considerably more flexible and robust technology than many FC snobs imagined.

Mellanox ConnectX ENt: A Breakthrough for 10-Gbps LOM

May 13, 2009 04:43 PM
This is an important milestone as it represents a breakthrough in the technology trend that is going to lead mass adoption of unified networking.

Fibre Channel Faces Growing Challenges

May 11, 2009 06:28 PM
Enterprises are looking for higher speed storage connections because of the growing volume of data and they want new types of communications links because their various data center networks have emerged in isolation.

Qlogic& NetXen 1+1=1.5?

May 07, 2009 10:05 PM
FCoE is the VTL of storage protocols, letting us use Ethernet for transport while still looking to the host and SAN management software like we were running on a Fibre Channel SAN, just as a VTL lets us use disk for storage while looking to our backup software like we were using tape.

Owning The Silicon May Make All The Difference

May 06, 2009 08:40 PM
Time-to-market for tangible FCoE connectivity products may simply boil down to who actually owns the silicon that the connectivity cards, switches, server and storage products are built upon.

Voltaire: Bringing Low Latency Networking to Main Street

May 06, 2009 08:29 PM
I expect Voltaire's new Scale Out Ethernet architecture and products to help accelerate the deployment of low-latency networks for high-performance business computing used by Wall Street.
