Speaker:
Renato Recio, Chief Engineer eSystem Networks, IBM Corp.
Several studies over the past few years have found that enterprises are spending too much to manage the operational aspects of the complex application environments they have deployed over time. Enterprises are now looking for ways to reduce IT costs through a combination of increased management automation and infrastructure simplification based on industry standard components.
This presentation will describe two new industry initiatives, Convergence Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) and FC over CEE and how they enable new data center simplification. It will describe the status of these initiatives and compare them to existing fabric convergence approaches (e.g. iSCSI, NAS and IB), including management automation implications. The session will conclude with an outlook of how these convergence approaches will play in various market segments.
