An experience is a personal and emotional event we remember. Every experience is established based upon pre-determined expectations we conceive and create in our minds. It’s personal, and therefore, remains a moving and evolving target in every scenario. When our experience concludes and the moment has passed, the outcome remains in our memory. Think about what makes you happy when connecting with your own device and then think about what makes you really upset when things are hard, complicated, and slow. If the user has a bad experience in anyone of these areas (simple, fast, and smart), they are likely to leave, share their negative experience, and potentially never return. Users might forget facts or details about their computing environment but they find it difficult to forgot the feeling behind a bad network experience. When something goes wrong with the network or an application, do you always get the blame?
If the number of spine switches were to be merely doubled, the effect of a single switch failure is halved. With 8 spine switches, the effect of a single switch failure only causes a 12% reduction in available bandwidth. So, in modern data centers, people build networks with anywhere from 4 to 32 spine switches. With a leaf-spine network, every server on the network is exactly the same distance away from all other servers – three port hops, to be precise. The benefit of this architecture is that you can just add more spines and leaves as you expand the cluster and you don't have to do any recabling. Intuition Systems will also get more predictable latency between the nodes.
As a trend, disaggregation seems to be most useful for very large companies like Facebook and Google, or cloud providers. The technology does not necessarily have significant implications for small or medium sized businesses. Historically, however, technology has a way of trickling down from the pioneering phases of existing only within large companies with tremendous resources, to becoming more standardized across the board.
Large venues like stadiums or concert halls are challenging environments for Wi-Fi deployments. Most of today’s phones and tablets carry Wi-Fi interfaces. A safe assumption is that at least one device per person in a stadium carry a Wi-Fi interface. Monetizing those Wi-Fi interfaces with real time information of the event in the venue, targeted advertising, internet access, multimedia and social applications can create new revenues to the owner of the venue, if executed properly.

17. Hi-TouchSM Data De-Duplication
Overview
Hosted Solutions Data De-duplication Service provides De-duplication services for
both local and remote storage of data. De-duplication looks for redundancy of very
large sequences of bytes across very large comparison windows. As Customer data
is written to the inline De-duplication appliances the incoming data stream is
segmented, uniquely identifying the data segments, and then compared against the
segments of previously stored data.
Replication
Customers can optionally subscribe to a second De-duplication appliance, where
replication services are included as part of the service. Using Data Domain
Replicator software, the primary appliance will move the data offsite to a second
appliance at a second Hosted Solutions IDC using cross-site bandwidth links
(separate bandwidth charges apply). Cross-site de-duplication will provide network
efficiency over normal replication, by eliminating the need to transfer common data
already received.
Configuration
Hosted Solutions will create and maintain file share(s) on the appliance(s).
Hosted Solutions will work with the Customer to connect the de-duplication
appliance(s) to the appropriate network as agreed upon with the customer.
Hosted Solutions system administrators will perform up to two (2) hours per
month of de-duplication configuration changes as requested by the Customer.
Hosted Solutions will provide ongoing management and administrative
support for the de-duplication appliances and replication services.
Monitoring
Hosted Solutions provides monitoring of the de-duplication appliances to
determine system availability (24/7). In the event that the appliances fail to
respond, Hosted Solutions will notify Customer and initiate corrective action.
Maintenance and Support
24/7 support for de-duplication problem resolution and Customer inquiries.
Hosted Solutions provides the Customer with hardware maintenance, which is
available with a 4-hour response time.
To manage configuration consistency and accountability for changes, all
system administration and device passwords will be managed by Hosted
Solutions. Customer must request any changes by contacting the Hosted
Solutions NOC. Customer must provide complete authentication credentials to
the Hosted Solutions NOC when requesting changes.
Customer must provide IP connectivity to Hosted Solutions for monitoring and
management capabilities of the devices.
17 HostedSolutions
18. Hi-TouchSM Replication Service
Overview
Hosted Solutions Hi-Touch Replication Service provides replication services between
EMC CLARiiON Storage Area Network Systems located at least two (2) different
Hosted Solutions IDCs. Hosted Solutions Hi-Touch Replication Services provides
block-level asynchronous remote replication between LUNs in two different SANs
using near-Continuous Data Protection (CDP) technology that journals groups of
writes for later recovery to different points in time. Hosted Solutions replication
features are provided by an out-of-band appliance attached into the SAN for local
storage access and into the IP WAN for remote replication and management. Hosted
Solutions utilizes EMC RecoverPoint appliances as part of the replication service. The
RecoverPoint appliance performs all bi-directional replication between the two SANs.
As part of the service, Hosted Solutions will provide the installation, configuration,
monitoring and management of the appliances. In the event that restoration is
required, Hosted Solutions engineers will perform image restoration to the most
current copy of the data. Customer will then verify against data corruption, or other
miscellaneous errors, and direct Hosted Solutions engineers whether or not to
rollback further into previous images.
Configuration
Hosted Solutions will work with the Customer to configure the appliances with
each associated Customer LUN.
Hosted Solutions system administrators will perform ongoing, reasonable
configuration changes as requested by the Customer.
Hosted Solutions will provide ongoing administrative support for standard
additions, deletions and changes to the existing configuration (e.g., adding or
removing a LUN).
Monitoring
Hosted Solutions will monitor the RecoverPoint appliances and associated
infrastructure using ICMP-based monitoring. If the Customer subscribes to
Hi-Touch SAN Services, all associated LUNs will be monitored as well.
Node Checking (ICMP-based): Ping monitoring that verifies connectivity
between the two IDCs and the RecoverPoint appliances by pinging the IP and
receiving a response from that device.

20. High Availability
Cloud Virtualization Service includes built-in failover functionality via VMware High
Availability (HA). The failover functionality allows the virtual machines to fail over to
other physical servers in the Cloud infrastructure. The system will be configured to
automatically restart virtual machines on other physical machines, should a
hardware failure occur.
Distributed Resource Scheduler
Hosted Solutions’ Cloud Virtualization service leverages VMware Distributed Resource
Scheduler (DRS) and VMware vMotion to provide dynamic server balancing across
multiple physical servers. These capabilities allow VMware to balance the placement
of instances on servers dynamically as the server load changes. As computing load
characteristics change, individual virtual server instances will dynamically balance
themselves across the available physical servers within a failover group across time.
Virtual Server Management
Hosted Solutions offers Virtual Server management through the Hi-Touch OS
Management service. Each virtual server instance requiring management will
subsequently require an instance of the Hi-Touch OS Management service. If the
Customer chooses not to subscribe to OS Management services, Customer will be
responsible for the management of all virtual servers.
vCenter Console Management
Hosted Solutions installs, configures and manages VMware vCenter to provide full
functionality to the Cloud Virtualization infrastructure.
