whitepaper Network Appliance Filers Competitive Fibre Channel Performance: Comparing NetApp FAS Storage With EMC CLARiiON Arrays Using Cached Read Performance2004-04-26 Network Appliance (NetApp)
  Fibre Channel storage subsystems are complex computing systems. Because each system has its strengths and weaknesses, no single figure of merit captures the relative performance of storage systems across all workloads. This paper compares the Network Appliance FAS line of storage systems to EMC CLARiiON storage systems using cached read workloads as a metric of performance.   
whitepaper ROADM Enabled Optimization in WDM Rings2006-11-29 01:00:19 Alcatel-Lucent
  Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) has established itself as the cheapest and most reliable mechanism for transporting information bits in long haul as well as in regional metro networks. For reasons of resiliency and simplicity, DWDM networks are predominantly configured as rings, consisting of fiber links connecting Optical Add-Drop Multiplexers (OADM). In past few years Reconfigurable OADM (ROADM) architectures have been proposed in order to automate network management and allow the transport network to adapt more readily to changing loads. This paper makes a case that ROADM deployment not only reduces operating expenditure but the added flexibility helps save/defer capital investment.   
whitepaper Fiber Optics20040427000506 ComTest Technologies
  Fiber optic technology has become increasingly more popular in recent years, and is used primarily for real time data communications. Before fiber optics came along, the primary means of communicating data was in the form of electronic signals transmitted on copper wire, or electromagnetic radio waves that traveled through the air. Although these long proven technologies are effective and still widely used today, advancements in fiber optics has proven this technology to be a very reliable and appealing alternative to traditional means of data transmission.   
whitepaper Fiber Optic Cables for Next Generation High Performance Networks2007-05-03 05:34:01 Mohawk/CDT
  This white paper traces the evolution of optical fiber cabling for present and next generation requirements. Options exist to take advantage of today’s newest technologies while maintaining compliance with the structured cabling solutions currently being used. The AdvanceLite product line is fully compatible with the installed base today and allows for the migration to Gigabit Ethernet tomorrow.

  Red Hat Global File System (GFS) is an open source, POSIX-compliant cluster file system and volume manager that executes on Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers attached to a storage area network (SAN). It works on all major server and storage platforms supported by Red Hat. The leading (and first) cluster file system for Linux, Red Hat GFS has the most complete feature set, widest industry adoption, broadest application support, and best price/ performance of any Linux cluster file system today.   
whitepaper Ciena Selects Marimba's Castanet as a Vehicle for Efficient Delivery of Customer Care, Fiberoptic Tool Set2005-06-08 03:00:01
  CIENA Corporation, the leading provider of optical networking systems for telecommunications companies, selected Castanet to serve as the backbone for delivering a new family of business-critical customer care tools to mobile field service technicians. CIENA wanted to leverage the delivery system used to provide their fiber-optic diagnostic tools, called SmartTools to field service staff when they do not have direct access to the corporate intranet. With the help of Marimba's Castanet, CIENA now expects to achieve that goal.   
whitepaper HP Virtualization Technologies Provide Razor-Sharp Benefits for Leading Swiss Insurer2005-07-12 03:00:02
  Swiss Mobiliar Group, a leading full-service insurance group based in Switzerland, needed to consolidate its IT infrastructure from eight sites to five - and enable its IT staff to manage these sites remotely from a single location. The new environment had to support Mobiliar's existing applications, integrate with a multi-vendor storage area network (SAN), and reduce long-term operating expenses. Swiss Mobiliar IT experts worked closely with HP to create a more agile, adaptive enterprise using virtualization technologies, including consolidation to 122 HP ProLiant BL20p dual-processor server blades and Fibre Channel SAN connectivity.   
whitepaper Leading European Manufacturer Gets Wired Up and Wireless2005-07-26 03:00:02
  Luxembourg-based Euro-Composites has its administrative headquarters and 30,000 square metres of manufacturing space in the town of Echternach, and a daughter company in Elkwood, Virginia, USA. Euro-Composites recently introduced a barcode system into its manufacturing halls. Euro-Composites needed the vital wireless LAN to make the system work. Euro-Composites called in HP who recommended not only a new wireless network but also the replacement of the existing wired network. 60 wireless points and a new Gigabit HP ProCurve backbone were installed. Comprehensive redundancy was built in for all wireless points, core switches and fibre optic cables.

whitepaper Grant County Public Utility District Supports Fiber Optic Network Rollout With Remedy2005-09-16 03:00:01 BMC Software
  Grant County PUD is a municipal corporation of the state of Washington. When the PUD began rolling out broadband services, each of the four groups involved in the rollout used a different method for tracking its piece of the service delivery process. The PUD team decided to build a custom application on AR System to address their needs. Since the Remedy application was implemented three years ago, the customer base has grown from approximately 1,000 to more than 4,000, and customers are now being added at a much faster pace.
