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.

Time To Say Goodbye To Static IPs

May 16, 2012 09:30 AM
Configuring static IP addresses on switches, routers, log servers, databases, management systems and other parts of the infrastructure is a common practice. It's also a bad one. Extending that error to virtual machines and applications is worse.

Enterprise IPv6 Deployment Stories at Summit a Refreshing Change

May 11, 2012 10:04 AM
The recent IPv6 summit included sessions from, on and about enterprise IPv6 users. Our blogger wants to hear even more from those who've deployed IPv6.

WildPackets Adds IPv6, Timeline Dashboard

May 10, 2012 09:00 AM
WildPackets has enhanced its OmniPeek packet analyzer product with IPv6 support and the Timeline dashboard, which makes it easier to diagnose intermittent network problems by allowing network administrators to record packets going across the network and then go back and look at them.

Deploying Dual-Stack IPv4 and IPv6 Networks

February 10, 2012 09:00 AM
Doing an IPv6 implementation project does not involve tearing down an aging IPv4 network and replacing it with a new IPv6-enabled network. Instead, the IPv4 and IPv6 networks will run in parallel in what the industry calls a "dual-stack" network. But IPv4 and IPv6 are so significantly different in design that network management tools designed for an IPv4 network may not work the same in an IPv6 environment.

Start Planning Your Ipv6 Transition Now

January 13, 2012 09:20 AM
Businesses need to begin moving now to the IPv6 standard for Internet addresses from the IPv4 standard because IPv4 addresses are running out quickly, states The Internet Society (ISOC). It says while businesses that operate websites are more aware about the coming IPv6 standard than they were a year or so ago, they need to start planning for the transition in 2012. To accelerate the transition, the group is introducing a Web portal, called Deploy 360, to better inform companies of what they have to do to prepare.

2011 Was An Awesome Year For Networking

December 28, 2011 08:00 AM
After about eight or nine years of networking innovation stagnation, the number of new innovations starting in 2010 and exploding in 2011 is astounding. Speed and feeds are increasing, but the exciting work in 2011 occurred in new technologies to support initiatives such as cloud computing, storage and data convergence, as well as migrating to IPv6. Here are the highlights.

IPv6 Momentum Takes Huge Swing

November 21, 2011 11:35 AM
A new Infoblox-sponsored IPv6 Census conducted by the Measurement Factory reports a 1,900% increase in the percentage of zones under .com, .net and .org that support IPv6. Only 1.27% of the zones surveyed in 2010 supported the successor to Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), compared to today's 25.4%.

New Infoblox Appliance Manages Flood Of DNS Queries On Networks

November 02, 2011 11:00 AM
Network infrastructure services management vendor Infoblox is introducing a new appliance that handles DNS queries five times faster than legacy systems can. The Infoblox-4010 is designed to handle the explosion of DNS queries as more devices, including smartphones and tablet computers, seek access to corporate and service provider networks and more IP addresses are being created.

IPv6: Unstoppable Force Meets Immovable Object

October 18, 2011 08:00 AM
What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? In this case, the unstoppable force is the accelerating growth of the Internet combined with the imminent end of available IPv4 addresses. The current demand for Internet addresses has been averaging 250 million per year, but the ongoing growth of mobile connections is expected to surge 11% to 5.6 billion this year, according to Gartner. Meanwhile, the nascent machine-to-machine connectivity market--or, the "Internet of Things"--is expected to add 25 billion connections by 2015.

Infoblox Aims To Ease Growing IP Address Management Headaches

October 14, 2011 12:34 PM
As more and more Internet-enabled devices find their way onto company networks, the task of managing IP addresses and DNS requests for these devices becomes harder and harder. Network infrastructure vendor Infoblox has released the Trinzic Multi-Grid Manager, a new appliance designed to handle large amounts of DNS and DHCP traffic.
