whitepaper Extreme Networks Supports Wireless Mobility at Patient Bedside for St. Johannes Hospital2008-06-01 Extreme Networks
  St. Johannes Hospital in Troisdorf-Sieglar, Germany, with just over 400 staff members, has more than 182 beds and treats approximately 8,800 inpatients and as many outpatients each year. The Hospital Information System (HIS) was looking to create a virtually paperless hospital operations chain in addition to its existing implementation of PACS. Ideally, the intent was to have all patient information processed and stored digitally and made available to its staff whenever and wherever needed. The hospital deployed Extreme Networks for its infrastructure, with the redundancy provided by Extreme Standby Router Protocol (ESRP), a hot-standby failover mechanism for Layer 2 and Layer 3 IP networks.

whitepaper Deploying Mobile Backhaul - Ethernet Microwave Technology Choices for Lower OPEX2008-06-01 Ceragon
  This paper focuses on methods for reducing OPeration EXpenditure (OPEX) enabled by the shift to advanced Ethernet microwave backhaul solutions. Microwave is the preferred backhaul technology by most of the world's mobile operators. Outside of the U.S.A., nearly 70% of all backhaul traffic travels over microwave links. Microwave is instant, reliable and relatively low-cost. Operators can lease spectrum and deliver several E1/T1s or even STM-1/OC-3s services over the air. But now that data services become more popular, clogging up the backhaul network, service providers turn to look for higher capacities that also offer lower cost per bit.

whitepaper Michigan Tech Relies on Juniper Networks High-Performance Data Center Router for Next-Generation Network2008-06-01 Juniper Networks
  With steady growth in core academic/administrative applications and data, Michigan Technological University found it needed to upgrade its Network-Attached Storage/Storage Area Network (NAS/ SAN) from a 35 terabyte solution to a new 100 terabyte storage array. The new NAS/SAN would deliver greater capacity, better performance, and better reliability, but it required 10-Gigabit Ethernet. Michigan Tech deployed Juniper Networks MX960 Ethernet Services Router - one of the industry's largest-capacity carrier Ethernet platforms - as the core of its academic/ administrative network.

whitepaper New Technique for Fixing an Ethernet IPv6 Address Using the Fedoracore Operating System2008-05-12 Association for Computing Machinery
  During the course to deploy Ipv6, it was found that several critical implementation and operational issues which distract user and possibly prevent wide deployment of Ipv6. Among the problems it is noticed stateless IP autoconfiguration, which provides for each nodes connected to the network an IP address. However, two nodes may have the same address, and a network conflict appears. In this case a manual IP address, which depends on restarting Network Interface Card, is required. This paper presents a technique that, independently of rebooting NIC, maintain the IP address fix. Validation is done by using Fedoracore Operating System.

whitepaper Fibre Channel Over Ethernet Storage Networking Evolution2008-05-01 Cisco Systems
  Evolving business requirements underscore the need for high-density, high-speed, and low-latency consolidated networks that enable data center scalability and improve manageability while controlling IT costs. Data centers typically run multiple separate networks, including an Ethernet network for client-to-server and server-to-server communications and a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN). To support various types of networks, data centers use separate redundant interface modules for each network: Ethernet Network Interface Cards (NICs) and Fibre Channel interfaces in their servers, and redundant pairs of switches at each layer in the network architecture. Use of parallel infrastructures increases capital costs, makes data center management more difficult, and diminishes business flexibility.

whitepaper American Fiber Systems Case Study: J.R. Simplot Company2008-05-01 American Fiber Systems
  Based in Boise, Idaho, the J.R. Simplot Company is one of the largest privately held companies in the world. Like many companies in their industry, Simplot managed a decentralized telecom network made up of various T1s, DS3s and OC3s. Information was backed-up and stored using the time-consuming and costly magnetic tapes. Network Technology Manager and his team quickly recognized the need to upgrade their network. Following the diligent three-month RFP process, Network Technology Manager and their team decided to partner with AFS once again. The new solution includes an Ethernet ring between four main sites. AFS also displaced previous T1s and DS3s for inter-office voice and connectivity.

whitepaper Cisco Nexus 5000 and Emulex LP210002008-05-01 Cisco Systems
  Data Center managers are challenged to keep pace with continuous growth while managing capital, operational and facilities costs. Organizations have turned to server virtualization as a means of reigning in the costs by consolidating applications on virtual servers. Increases in SAN attachment have gone hand in hand. Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) offers the framework for implementing a Unified Fabric as a way to get beyond today's cost and complexity challenges. Cisco and Emulex have worked collaboratively on both standards and products that will deliver on the promise of a Unified Fabric reducing the total cost of ownership; offering investment protection of existing severs, networks, storage, and facilities; enhancing business agility; and enabling higher levels of operational continuity; while offering alignment with existing operational domains.

whitepaper Converging SAN and LAN Infrastructure With Fibre Channel Over Ethernet for Efficient, Cost-Effective Data Centers2008-04-22 Cisco Systems
  Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is an emerging data transport technology that simplifies the network fabric by converging both Storage Area Network (SAN) and LAN connectivity onto a single 10 Gigabit Ethernet link. As the use of SANs in the data center continues to grow, FCoE can decrease the cost of connecting servers to the SAN, while also preserving the existing management infrastructure and reducing overall power consumption. By encapsulating Fibre Channel payloads in Ethernet frames, FCoE uses a switch that supports the technology, such as Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches, to connect transparently to existing environments. As a result, organizations can simplify their infrastructures, with fewer server network interfaces, reduced cabling infrastructure, and a unified switching architecture.

whitepaper ASMi-54 G.SHDSL.bis Modem Extends High-Speed Network Over Existing Infrastructure2008-04-22 RAD Data Communications
  Lattelecom, Latvia's leading provider of communications services and solutions, was selected as the integrator for a state-sponsored project to bring the Internet to public libraries throughout Latvia. The company wanted to use existing copper infrastructure to deliver high-speed data services. Lattelecom deployed RAD's ASMi-54 G.SHDSL.bis Ethernet modem which extends Ethernet over copper pairs, offering cost-effective delivery of high bandwidth to Last Mile customers.
