Brocade Advances Cloud Service Delivery

Brocade application delivery solution addresses urgent data center requirements with L4-7 software networking, on-demand provisioning system, and the OpenStack cloud orchestration framework.

On-demand data centers require high performance hardware that can withstand the demands of mission-critical environments. Brocade introduced a new high-density 40 GbE module for the Brocade MLXe Series Routers, new NetIron CES and CER-RT carrier Ethernet compact switches and routers and new release of the NetIron Multi-Service software with support for OpenFlow Hybrid-Port Mode.

Overall Session Description
Cloud-based computing will have a major impact on the way that enterprises configure their IT resources over the next several years. By 2015, one of every seven dollars spent on packaged software, server, and storage offerings will involve the public cloud model. To stay competitive in this environment, providers of cloud services will need to move quickly to create and deploy innovative and high-value service offerings. Using the network as foundation, cloud providers will need to invest in next-generation application delivery platforms. Building upon existing performance and scale benefits, application delivery platforms will be instrumental in delivering an operationally efficient, customizable datacenter network.
Key Questions
This webinar will answer the following questions:
•What are key combinations of application delivery attributes that will support agile cloud service creation?
•When is the right time to invest in IPv6?
•What is the role of application delivery controllers within the context SDN (software-defined networks) ?
•Why is application intelligence crucial for network operators to meet the explosion of the mobile cloud?

OpenFlow/SDN is emerging as one of the most promising and disruptive networking technologies of recent years. It has the potential to enable network innovation and create choice, and thus help realize new capabilities and address persistent problems with networking. It also promises to give network operators more control of their infrastructure, allowing customization and optimization, therefore reducing overall capital and operational costs.

Industry is embracing SDN. Network operators plan to build their infrastructure using this innovative technology. Incumbent vendors as well as startups are developing a range of products for different market segments including data center, service provider and enterprise.

With the passage of the recent D-Block legislation and funding allocation, the vision of a single nationwide Public Safety broadband network based on commercial standards can become a reality. Today, Public Safety Agencies and municipalities, in an effort to build better interoperable communication and collaboration among first responders, are building early deployments of 700 MHz public safety broadband LTE networks that will ultimately be part of this nationwide broadband network. These networks will provide responders with access to a host of media rich applications along with better interoperability among agencies through the use of their mobile and handheld devices.

Learn how Motorola is teaming up with Public Safety Agencies to build this LTE backbone and how Brocade plays a role in this ecosystem by providing Ethernet access and transport from these cell sites to enable LTE connectivity.

This is the second part of the three part series of Business Continuity webcast.

Uninterrupted Virtual Machine mobility between data centers requires storage and IP networks connectivity to respond to very stringent requirements. Brocade storage networking solutions exceed these requirements, allowing for extended distances and better performance using Brocade FastWrite technology.

Governments and telecommunication operators need intelligence drawn from real-time analysis of massive network data flows so they may be swiftly notified of key events and to take corrective action. IP networks carry enormous amounts of traffic with unpredictable behavior, and visibility into the network is becoming essential.

In response, Brocade and IBM have developed a solution that combines state-of-the-art network telemetry and real-time analytics processing on an unprecedented scale. Seamless integration between Brocade MLXe telemetry-enabled devices and IBM InfoSphere Streams analytics platform enables non-disruptive extraction and analysis of massive data flows from production networks in real time.

OVERVIEW
Brocade, EMC, and VMware bring you this three part series webcasts on "Business Continuity." Business continuity and application availability at all times are top requirements for any business. Brocade, EMC and VMware collaborated to test and validate a solution that offers IT Operations the capability to dynamically migrate their applications across data centers without business interruption.

Bei den neuen Microsoft Anwendungsarchitekturen empfiehlt Microsoft fur seine Losungen ausdrucklich, Hardware Load Balancer einzusetzen, um den Anfoderungen einer Mission-Critical Enterprise Kommunikation nachzukommen. Microsoft und Brocade haben sich zusammengeschlossen, um Losungen zu entwickeln, welche die Verfugbarkeit von Anwendungen und die Performance optimieren, die Sicherheit steigern und dadurch die Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) reduzieren

In diesem Webinar stellt Ihnen die Experten Randolf Klaas von Brocade und Christian Neumann von Microsoft vor
- welche Vorteile Hardware Load Balancer fur die Microsoft Technologien bieten
- wie Sie mit Application Delivery Controllern effizientes Load Balancing erzielen
- wie Sie Performance und Verfugbarkeit von Exchange2010, Sharepoint und/oder Lync Server erhohen
- wie Sie eine schrittweise, sanfte Migration des Netzwerks und der Microsoft Anwendungen von IPv4 auf IPV6 durchfuhren und
- wie Sie die Sicherheit ihrer Daten durch SSL Verschlusselungen erhohen.
