whitepaper Reduce Your Network Infrastructure Costs08/10/09 Brocade
  As you consider your organization's long-term networking strategy, you likely face two divergent forces that have created some difficult business decisions. On one hand, you need to manage unprecedented levels of data growth and network traffic. On the other hand, you find yourself immersed in an economic downturn that has left your operating budgets slashed.

The need to reduce IT costs is a universal concern across all types of industries, geographical regions, and business sizes. This paper outlines what are the seven characteristics of extraordinary networks, and how it can help you save up to 30 to 50 percent on your network infrastructure costs. 		 sponsored by
whitepaper Industry Leading Solutions to Transform Your Network15/07/09 Brocade
  As your IT infrastructure evolves, your current networks have the potential to provide a wide variety of business advantages. In order to support strategic business initiatives, as well as next-generation applications, your network infrastructure must provide higher performance and scalability, greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness, and more predictable service, resiliency, and reliability.

Your ability to achieve these goals depends on extraordinary networks to transform your current network infrastructureand deliver the highest performance, scalability, and reliability at the lowest possible cost point. In short, extraordinary networks simplify your IT infrastructure so you can run your business more efficiently, reduce costs, and build a solid foundation for continued growth. 		 sponsored by
whitepaper Greater Choice for Next-Generation Networks15/07/09 Brocade
  The modern data center ecosystem is in a period of rapid change, with many vendors and analysts speculating what form it will take in the future. Adding to the complexity, those changes are permeating the entire data center, from applications all the way to the virtual machines, servers, and storage devices.

At the center of this transformation is the network infrastructure. As you define your long term data center strategy, your networks will play an increasingly critical role. ThatÂ’s why you need maximum flexibility and choice in order to make the right decisions about your networks. This paper explains how greater choice will ultimately lead to better solutions, lower costs, and greater business agility. 		 sponsored by
whitepaper The Virtual Enterprise Requires a Network That Is More than "Good Enough"22/06/09 Brocade
  Virtualization will extend out of the data center and expand functionality all the way to the desktop, creating new demands across the network . In the virtual enterprise, good enough is no longer good enough when it comes to network infrastructure.

This report by the Yankee Group provides an overview of how virtualization is transforming organizations, describes the role the network plays and provides some practical advice on how IT decision-makers should evaluate network solution partners to support virtual computing. 		 sponsored by
whitepaper Innovation Network Lecture Series: The Journey Towards the Converged Data Center - Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and ISCSI2009-09-02 EMC
  For decades, the IT industry has tried out a number of technologies, looking for one that can provide a single network that could accommodate all traffic needs. Ethernet has long been considered a top contender, but only now with the development of 10 Gb Ethernet, is there real opportunity for a truly converged data center with a single network supporting both storage and data traffic. Both the FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) and iSCSI (SCSI over TCP/IP) protocols provide paths to reach this goal. The presenter of this webcast will examine the journey of innovation in storage networking. It will then review the components for both iSCSI and FCoE technologies and cover some of the core concepts of their uses as storage technologies.

whitepaper Technical Track: Deliver LAN-Like Performance for VMware View to Branch Offices and Mobile Users2009-03-11 VMware
  Desktop virtualization dramatically simplifies IT infrastructure, provides greater enterprise data security and enables cost effective IT utilization and management. While some desktop virtualization products attempt to use communication protocols designed for Wide Area Networks (WANs), even these products run into two fundamental challenges when trying to support users located across the globe: bandwidth constraints often limit the amount of data or the number of users, and latency prevents users' applications from delivering LAN-like performance.
