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.

Cisco Offers More SDN Hints, Confirms Insieme

April 20, 2012 04:00 PM
Despite months of rumors and speculation, the networking industry's most powerful and influential vendor, Cisco Systems, is continuing to keep its plans for software-defined networking (SDN) largely to itself. In an exclusive interview during this week’s Open Networking Summit (ONS), Shashi Kiran, senior director of market management at Cisco, also an ONS member, says that OpenFlow and SDN are both so new that companies should not be deciding whether to use OpenFlow but rather how they can use OpenFlow along with other approaches.

Streaming The Vancouver 2010 Olympics From Mobile To HD

February 10, 2010 03:22 PM
If you watch the Olympics from your Web browser, the HD video stream will be coming to you live from Vancouver British Columbia with a scant 90 second delay. This feat is orchestrated by iStreamPlanet, and the capabilities to do so were assembled in just twelve days. The company, along with partners like Akamai, Arista Networks, Intel, Microsoft and Switch Communications, put together a fully automated workflow system to stream the Winter Olympics. An operation of this magnitude would normally require hundreds of people for the duration of the event. For example, thirty people were required to stream January's two-hour "Hope for Haiti Now" telethon. Comparatively, iStream is running closer to 1,500 hours using the same number of people.
