Speaker:
Bert Tanaka, Founder and CTO, Woven Systems.
The World Wide Web continues to foster paradigm shifts in the way people work and play. The changes over the past few years have been so profound that the industry has adopted the term "Web 2.0" to portray the significance of newer applications like blogs, social networking, podcasts, SaaS, RSS feeds, Wikis and many other forms of many-to-many publishing and collaboration. Content now must be managed dynamically. The entire Internet data center must now operate more seamlessly to facilitate Web 2.0 applications. The biggest challenge faced in today's biggest data centers is making such seamless networking both scalable and affordable. In this session attendees will learn:
» How a unified data center network can provide the seamless interactions required among virtualized server and consolidated storage resources
» How advances in Ethernet technology have overcome this popular protocol's previous scalability limitations to support up to 4000 edge ports on a single fabric
» How 10 Gbps Ethernet fabrics can unify the Internet data center by providing the scalable network performance needed
» How unification minimizes the total cost of ownership for data center networks
