IBM Blade University: Emulex Connects the Data Center of the Future

The Great IT Migration

Shaun Walsh, senior vice president of marketing and corporate development, speaks on this topic at SNW Europe on 10/29/13: IT is migrating to a new model of computing and business alignment that is not just about the cloud, not just about bring your own device (BYOD), but a new way of thinking about how the building blocks of IT are developed, purchased and assembled to achieve business goals. We will explore the great migrations in the IT world, starting with the new IT strategy (hybrid everywhere), expanding users’ expectations (going beyond instantaneous), new technology models (software defined computing), defining new core building blocks, (everything has to be a platform) and how selling to IT will change (re-definable value vs. ROI positioning). During this presentation, we will look beyond the hype curve and buzzword compliance to identify the most influential IT migrations that will change the way we work, partner and profit for the next decade.

The Role of Fibre Channel in Server Virtualization

TheFibreChannel

Fibre Channel is the most widely deployed solution for connecting highly virtualized servers to storage because it provides low latency, high performance, and industry-leading bandwidth to support applications and server consolidation. It also offers flexible architectural designs and topologies to reduce cabling infrastructure while NPIV provides VM-level IO visibility and isolation. Additionally, its rich yet simple management aids in implementing, tuning, and troubleshooting storage networks.

Why 10 Gigabit Ethernet Draft v2

Vijay Tolani

This document discusses the benefits of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) for reducing latency. It states that 10GE allows for lower CPU utilization and reduced latency within servers compared to Gigabit Ethernet. It also discusses that while Infiniband promised low latency, it required application rewrites and added complexity due to needing translation to Ethernet outside local networks. The document explores 10GE cabling options like SFP+ which provide the lowest latency, and network interface cards that support technologies like RDMA for further reducing latency within servers. With the right hardware and software, organizations can see over an 80% reduction in overall end-to-end latency by moving from Gigabit Ethernet to 10GE.

"FCoE vs. iSCSI - Making the Choice" from Interop Las Vegas 2011

Stephen Foskett

The notion that Fibre Channel is for data centers and iSCSI is for SMB’s and workgroups is outdated. Increases in LAN speeds and the coming of lossless Ethernet position iSCSI as a good fit for the data center. Whether your organization adopts FC or iSCSI depends on many factors like current product set, future application demands, organizational skill-set and budget. In this session we will discuss the different conditions where FC or IsCSI are the right fit, why you should use one and when to kick either to the curb.

Emulex Connect Architecture:The Next Generation of Virtual I/O

Converged Networks: FCoE, iSCSI and the Future of Storage Networking

FCoE allows Fibre Channel traffic to run over Ethernet networks using encapsulation. This convergence of networks simplifies infrastructure by using a single network for both storage and LAN traffic. Standards like FCoE and DCB/CEE are being developed to enable lossless Ethernet environments required for storage traffic. Early solutions involve direct server attachment to top-of-rack FCoE switches, but solutions are expanding to include blade servers and multi-hop configurations. Widespread adoption will take time as standards mature and solutions expand beyond proof-of-concept deployments.

Acronym Soup – NFV, SDN, OVN and VNF

Shaun Walsh digs into some key differences between industry acronyms that is causing confusion in the industry – aka ‘acronym soup.’ Everything from network fabric virtualization (NFV), to software defined networking (SDN), to overlay networking (OVN) to virtual network functions (VNF). He breaks through the confusion, explains the differences and the similarities between some of these industry terms, as well as how Emulex fits into the mix.

Using NetFlow to Improve Network Visibility and Application Performance

Network and application performance issues can cost your business millions of dollars in lost revenue and productivity. Without persistent, real-time visibility of the infrastructure, Network Operations teams lack the information to predict potential business disruption and prove network and application performance. Join us on November 6 at 7:00 a.m. PT and hear from Lee Doyle, Principal Analyst at Doyle Research, about the solutions to today’s performance visibility challenges, including: •Trends affecting traffic visibility, such as application mobility, network upgrades, and data center virtualization and consolidation •Best practices for managing Quality of Service and reducing failure scenarios •Critical criteria to consider when selecting performance management solutions In addition, hear from Richard Trujillo (Emulex Product Marketing) and Scott Frymire (SevOne Product Marketing) how the joint deployment of the Emulex EndaceFlow™ 3040 NetFlow Generator Appliance and SevOne’s Network Performance Management solution lowers time to resolution by reliably monitoring the makeup of the traffic traversing your most critical links.

Using Network Recording and Search to Improve IT Service Delivery

For organizations that depend critically on their network to provide services to both internal and external customers, understanding why quality of service issues occur is critical. An emerging tool in Network Performance Management and Diagnostics (NPMD) is network recording and search, which allows network operations (NetOps) staff to identify issues in service and application delivery. Finding the right data (whether packets, netflows, or otherwise) to understand why your application is underperforming is often like finding a needle in a haystack. In most cases, you have to find exactly the right set of packets to understand why you have a service performance issue or a service failure. As organizations move from 1Gb Ethernet to 10Gb Ethernet to 40/100Gb Ethernet (1GbE, 10GbE, 40/100GbE), the “amount of hay” is increasing by orders of magnitude. However, most network recording and search devices on the market today cannot keep up with data rates beyond a few gigabits per second, and have to “sample” the network traffic. In this context, selecting the right network recording and search device means the difference between understanding and resolving your problem quickly, and spending days or weeks trying to randomly capture the right packets. In this webinar, we’ll explore the different options that organizations have for recording and mining network traffic to identify and resolve ITSM issues. We'll explore what matters most when your applications fail, and share some best-practice insights gleaned from working with customers that run some of the largest and most critical data networks on the planet.
