Everything you wanted to know about cabling but were afraid to askEmulex Corporation
These are slides from the 6/13/12 webcast "Everything you wanted to know about cabling, but were afraid to ask." Dennis Martin, President of Demartek, joins us as a special guest and cable expert for 10GbE I/O connectivity. Customers today have a wide selection of servers, switches, adapters and storage for their traditional Storage Area Network environments, virtualization deployments and emerging cloud infrastructures. A critical piece to any data center is the cables making everything work together.

Fiber optic connectors have been around for many years, nearly since the creation of optical fiber itself. A key component of optical fiber is its ability to transmit light signals over long distances without attenuation, in other words without light lost along the optical path. There are many types of connectors to choose from as well as methods to connectorize fiber cables.

"As they confront ever more complex and data-intensive problems, scientists and researchers increasingly look to the next generation of supercomputing--the high-end segment of high-performance computing. That next generation will play out in so-called exaflop computers--machines capable of executing at least a quintillion (1E18) floating-point operations per second. Such a computer would represent a thousand-fold improvement over the current standard, the petaflop machines that first came on line in 2008. But while exaflop computers already appear on funders' technology roadmaps, making the exaflop leap on the short timescales of those roadmaps constitutes a formidable challenge."

Luky Gábor (Alcatel-Lucent Hungary) előadása a LAN és WiFi újdonságokról. Kiemelten foglalkozott a felhasználók saját mobil eszközeinek vállalati környezetben történő professzionális integrálásával. Az új 6900-as sorozatú 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Mesh adatközponti switchek a sávszélesség-emésztő, valós idejű alkalmazásokat (pl. virtuális desktop, mobil munkavégzés, videó konferencia, üzleti és privát felhő szolgáltatások igénybevétele) kezelő infrastruktúrák zökkenőmentes kezelést támogatják. Nagy hangsúlyt fektetett a POD rendszerekre, mely több adatközponti switchet kapcsol össze, és az információkat a leggyorsabb és legrövidebb úton szállítja. Bemutatta a "gondolat sebességével" száguldó új Omni Access vezetéknélküli megoldásokat is.

With worldwide mobile backhaul connections increasing from 5 to 10 Mbps in 2009 to 50 Mbps by 2012, mobile operators, network equipment vendors and others must implement new strategies to cope with the influx. Fiber, copper, microwave, millimeter wave—each backhaul medium has its own advantages and limitations in terms of availability, cost to deploy, operational cost, speed/distance and regulatory considerations. What is the right strategy for today’s 3G and emerging 4G ecosystem, and is there any hope of leveraging today's backhaul assets for three (let alone five) years?
In this webinar, Jennifer Pigg, Yankee Group research VP, examines the mobile backhaul solutions operators are deploying today and the emerging strategies for tomorrow.
