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.

Aruba Networks Brings Layer 3 To Wireless Mesh Networks

April 20, 2011 08:00 AM
Wireless mesh networks have always been big on promise, but often disappointing on performance. It's no secret that the marketing folks for wireless vendors can be a bit adventurous with range and throughput claims, and that many wireless mesh products just don't live up to the hype. Part of the problem has been the traditional repeater-style "lose half your throughput with every hop" principle, which can be exacerbated by poor network design. Aruba Networks addresses pretty much all of the potential mesh wireless pain points with its recently introduced AirMesh product line, and even non-Aruba customers should take note.
