The Data Center Fabric Promise!

Jon Toor - Xsigo & Dave Carpenter - IIS
Data Center Fabrics promise a more efficient approach to networking, with greater simplicity, agility and performance. But what is a fabric and how do you know if the technology is right for you?

Its open, elegantly simple architecture lets you dynamically connect servers, networks, and storage. You create networks and connections entirely in software to enable secure, isolated services that support your business processes and priorities. During this webinar we will discuss:

- What is a data center fabric?
- What problems do they solve?
- How do they work?
- Are they disruptive to implement?

With the Xsigo Data Center Fabric, all traffic types, including Ethernet and Fibre Channel, traverse a converged infrastructure, resulting in a dramatically simpler, more efficient, wire-once environment and the industry's most flexible connectivity.

  • Virtualization, cloud computing, hybrid environments and BYOD are here to stay. When implemented successfully, these solutions can transform the way businesses operate and lower the OPEX and CAPEX costs of IT departments. However, these major IT trends cannot be considered separately: virtualization and cloud are often linked, and needs for anytime anywhere connectivity and mobile workforce enablement won't wait. This is why it's essential to have a holistic approach and address the business, technology and financial implications of today for tomorrow's needs.

  • When an organization has a distributed or mobile workforce or requires executives or key personnel to work from home, the issue of securing the business critical data becomes especially problematic. In most cases today, responsibility for the security of the file data is the left up to the individual end user. Theft or even the borrowing of the mobile device leaves critical file data exposed.

    The rapid growth of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) brings cost savings and efficiency for organizations but also a greater risk of security breaches. Today, no control or reporting of use of critical data on mobile devices is possible and this creates regulatory problems.

    Join your fellow professionals to understand the storage implications for storing file data in a distributed world and best practices on file data security.

  • Dell Active Infrastructure & VDI Explained Webinar Recorded: Feb 21 2013 59 mins
    The Dell difference

    IT organizations evaluating converged infrastructure
    solutions today are stuck choosing from undesirable
    closed, complex, incomplete and/or expensive options.
    Dell fills a gap in the market for advanced data center
    infrastructure platforms that are simple, flexible and
    comprehensive.

    some offerings. Some competitive solutions are built to
    operate in a single way, may not support customer needs
    over time and require complex integration with existing
    management offerings.

    VDI is a significant feature of the Dell Active Infrastructure. VDI and VDS (Virtualization Desktop Services) will be EXPLAINED! Join us for this informative WEBINAR.

  • Cutting IT Costs Have Never Been Easier Recorded: Nov 29 2011 54 mins
    The average enterprise uses 70% of its IT budget to maintain its physical infrastructure. As the industry's leading virtualization software, VMware vSphere™ can cut overall IT costs by up to 70%—allowing more resources to be allocated toward innovation and improving business operations.

    In addition to having a low total cost of ownership, VMware vSphere also simplifies operations, delivers improved performance and ensures high availability of services. VMware is fundamentally changing how enterprises manage, deploy and deliver IT.

    Webinar Details:

    Maximize your current resources
    Consolidating your servers allows you to combine infrastructure resources and break the traditional model of only having one application per server.

    Increase availability of hardware and applications
    Securely back up and migrate entire virtual environments without interruptions in service. This improves business continuity by eliminating planned downtime and immediately recovering from unplanned issues.


    Improve operational flexibility and responsiveness
    Dynamically scale to respond to unpredictable market changes and user demands. The ability to provision servers faster allows administrators to spend more time focusing on business needs.

    Take the first step on the path to cloud computing
    Virtualizing your infrastructure is the beginning of the journey to the cloud. Cloud computing provides additional cost savings and results in a zero-touch infrastructure with full automation across the board.
  • RealCloud Ready Assessment Survey Benchmarking Results Recorded: Nov 10 2011 44 mins
    ATTEND ALL 8 - 30 MINUTE WEBINARS AND YOU COULD WIN $1000.00

    RealCloud defines a core set of capabilities that your organization needs to take advantage of cloud. By understanding these capabilities and your current environment you can define a rational cloud strategy.

    - RealCloud creates a map for implementing cloud
    - Allows you to focus on the right projects
    - Thinks beyond just technology to people and process to enable the organization

    RealCloud progresses through fives stages. Traditional IT begins the journey and builds toward cloud as virtualization is implemented. A stage approach starts with the reality of today and moves toward cloud.

    Why the 5 stages are important:
    Change does not happen overnight. A progressive approach to change is manageable and enables key investments over time.

    - Foundations in today’s realities allow for better planning of next steps
    - Roadmap to the future allows for better planning of current projects
    - Maturity builds over time
    - Incremental value is generated with each project
