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.

802.11ac: Preparing to Troubleshoot

August 05, 2013 05:30 PM
As 802.11ac ratification approaches, make sure your WLAN management and troubleshooting tools will be ready for the change.

Motorola Launches 802.11ac APs

May 15, 2013 11:54 AM
Motorola joins a growing number of enterprise WLAN players with early 802.11ac products. Here's how its new APs stack up.

Fabric Wars: Too Soon To Pick A Winner

May 01, 2012 09:00 AM
While the networking giants--Cisco Systems, Brocade and Juniper Networks--battle it out for domination of the emerging fabric networking segment, a host of new competitors are nipping at their heels. Other networking companies--such as Avaya, Enterasys and Alcatel-Lucent--as well as computer companies edging into the networking space--such as HP and Dell--are among those joining the fray.

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.

LitePoint Is First To Offer A One-Box Solution For IEEE 802.11p Testing

September 14, 2010 09:36 AM
LitePoint Corporation, the leader in wireless test solutions, is the first to offer a one-box solution that meets the testing needs of 802.11p devices. The IEEE 802.11p 2010 standard, published in July, defines mechanisms that allow IEEE 802.11 technology, also known as WiFi, to be used in high-speed radio environments typical of automobiles and trucks. In these environments, IEEE 802.11p enables robust and reliable car-to-car and car-to-curb communications by addressing challenges such as extreme Doppler shifts, rapidly changing multipath conditions, and the need to quickly establish a link and exchange data instantly.

Why You Need To Demand Standards, Now

June 24, 2010 03:00 PM
In technology, there is lots of talk about the need for standards for this or that technology. I am an unabashed proponent of standards. There are lots of very smart people who work on standards either as part of their job or on their own time. The standards get pushed through the working groups, are ratified by the standards bodies, and are published to the world. Then those people move on to other things while vendors scramble to implement the standards in their products and update their data sheets.

Shortest Path Bridging Will Rock Your World

March 25, 2010 10:08 AM
Whether you're planning to deploy FCoE in the data center or voice and video on your LAN, chances are you will have to redesign your network to be more efficient and robust than it is today. The way we design LANs today means we often over-provision because we build choke points through which all traffic has to pass even when the traffic is going to a neighbor. The distribution and core layers have to be over built just to overcome the choke points. It's wasteful and only addresses a symptom of a tree like design, such as inefficient paths. Short path bridging is going to change all that.

IEEE 802 Standards Committee Turns 30

March 11, 2010 11:57 AM
The IEEE 802 Standard Committee, turns 30 on March 13th and has been a major influence on data networking. Ethernet is the OSI layer two standard for data communications and in 30 years, the speeds at which Ethernet operates has risen five orders of magnitude from 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps, and the diversity of where it is used (LAN, WAN, wireless) has grown. Indeed, topics have exploded from frame formats to power management and study groups to analyze esoteric events like static discharge in copper cables. That's a lot of work for a 30 year old group.

IEEE Launches Industry Connections Formalizing Ad-Hoc Groups

August 17, 2009 12:00 PM
The IEEE Standards Association's (IEEE-SA) new Industry Connections program provides a forum where interested parties can collaborate on industry focused work. The Industry Connections leverages the IEEE experience in organizing disparate groups addressing legal issues like intellectual property rights and anti-trust. The IEEE is also announcing the Industry Connections Security Group as the first group.
