Increasing Customer Intimacy, Value-Add and Profits through Expanded Services 2006-12-08 01:00:19 IBM

Manufacturers and distributors, facing ever-increasing competition, pricing pressure and growth imperatives are quickly waking up to the opportunity offered by expanding their service organization. Services automation is one of the "hottest" corners of the customer relationship management (CRM) marketplace. Learn how your company can benefit from expanded customer services in this Fall, 2006 Industry Directions report, compliments of IBM.

Distributed Network Monitoring for Evolving IP Networks 2006-12-07 01:00:20 Alcatel-Lucent

Evolving monitoring infrastructure in response to network growth is a critical aspect of network management. Previous work in network management primarily focused on optimizing monitoring systems for static networks. This paper addresses the problem of optimally upgrading the existing monitoring infrastructure as the network evolves. The problem formulation presented here captures the trade off between adding new monitoring resources vs. disrupting the existing infrastructure.

Live Webcast: Ultimate Architecture Flexibility with HP BladeSystem and VMware Infrastructure 2006-12-06 17:36:06 VMware

Find out how you can architect your data center for unprecedented levels of flexibility using VMware Infrastructure 3 (VI3) on HP ProLiant C-Class Blades. That will be the focus of this live TechRepublic Webcast, when our featured guests will discuss the flexibility advantages of a combined HP BladeSystem/VI3 solution.

Join John Kennedy, Senior Systems Engineer for VMware, Doug Hart Systems/Software Engineer with HP, and Barry Sinclair of HP BladeSystem Platform Marketing to learn best practices for architecting VI3 on HP ProLiant C-Class Blades.

We'll discuss the features and benefits of the newest generation of HP BladeSystem servers, including:

HP Virtual Connect technology and its "one module, one cable" capability

Shared storage within the BladeSystem chassis

BladeSystem virtualized resource pools

Expansion of the BladeSystem to meet VI3 needs

Now you can architect a physical infrastructure that's nearly as flexible as your virtualized environment. Join us for this live TechRepublic Webcast, co-sponsored by VMware and HP, to learn how.

Note: This TechRepublic Webcast will be recorded and made available on an on-demand basis following the live event. So pre-register today�even if you're not sure you can attend on January 9th�and we'll notify you by e-mail when the on-demand version is available.

Product Specs: ProCurve Switch 2510 Series 2006-12-19 13:15:49 Hewlett-Packard

The ProCurve Switch 2510-24 is a managed, Layer-2, 24-port 10/100 switch with two dual-personality Gigabit ports providing 10/100/1000-T or mini-GBIC connectivity. The 2510-24 is fanless, ensuring quiet operation and making it ideal for deployment in open spaces. And it offers a basic Layer-2 feature set, including access security and basic traffic prioritization. Designed to cost-effectively meet the needs of small and growing networks, the 2510-24 brings commercial-grade quality to all businesses at an affordable price. It is also standards-based, facilitating interoperability with existing infrastructure and making it easy to deploy and manage.

Product Specs: ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module 2006-12-19 13:16:01 Hewlett-Packard

Working in conjunction with ProCurve radio ports, the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module provides centralized wireless LAN configuration and management of advanced wireless services, enabling a resilient, highly secure, mobile multi-service network. With the addition of the module, the ProCurve Switch 5300xl series enables network administrators to centrally manage a unified wired and wireless network using ProCurve's network management products, including ProCurve Identity Driven Manager. This centralized approach to wired and wireless management streamlines device configuration and administration of security and role-based user policies that are enforced at the edge of the network, regardless of how or where the user connects.

Customer Discussion Panel: Driving Real World Business Value from Enterprise User Provisioning 2006-11-30 01:00:16 Oracle

Prominent Service Provider Adds Capacity and Long-Term Scalability to Network Via Next Gen SONET Solutions 2006-11-29 01:00:19 Alcatel-Lucent

In a recent network deployment for a large North American service provider, Lucent delivered a solution enabling them to consolidate their legacy network while adding capacity and long-term scalability. Chief among the challenges faced were space and power consumption associated with a legacy network consisting of over 6000 elements, whose limitations inhibited both DACS growth and the addition of new revenue generating services such as Ethernet and Storage Area Network (SAN). Lucent cam up with a cross-product solution involving Metropolis DMX and LambdaUnite MSS for the initial CO/POP consolidation and one additional platform (DMXplore) for future deployment in small POP or customer premise applications.

Designing Critical Enterprise SANs for Troubleshooting; Advanced Preparation Prevents Costly Downtime 2006-11-07 01:00:16 Finisar

With a critical SAN, usually supporting a large number of users, downtime is expensive in terms of both lost productivity and data access. Almost everyone in the company and the company's customers are affected, leading to mounting pressure on those debugging to quickly fix the problem. Adding to the frustration, the techniques used to solve these problems often require stopping the entire SAN, including unaffected areas, to install monitoring equipment or analysis equipment. This paper describes a flexible, centralized, and cost effective method to instrument critical SANs for analysis and monitoring that not only creates a superior troubleshooting environment, but one that allows administrators to track down problems while the network is up and running and one that guarantees not to introduce prospective points of failure during normal operation, even in the event of power loss.
