Network Infrastructure

Join us for a 30-minute live session every Friday, where we’ll tour the RingCentral interface, discuss the latest innovations and features available on the RingCentral platform, and share best practices on leveraging cloud communications for your business. This session features a live demo of RingCentral Office and an open Q&A session led by a Sales Engineer. This week tune in and learn how your employees can hold multi-point HD video meetings around the world, anytime and anywhere with RingCentral Meetings.

March Madness can stress your network and create opportunities for someone to exploit your vulnerabilities. Being aware of the threats can help prepare for them to keep your network sane and secure.

What You Will Learn:

1. you can achieve a deeper level of security by being aware what is happening on your network.
2. be aware of how you access the games, use secure connections
3. Keeping your applications and firewall up to date can help you keep secure.

When upgrading metro networks from 1 to 10 GigE, the distortions induced by chromatic dispersion and polarisation mode dispersion will limit the distance that can be attained. When upgrading core networks from 10 (OTU2, 10 GigE, etc.) to 100 (OTU3, 100 GigE, etc.) and soon to 400 Gbit/s, coherent systems will be able to post-compensate the linear distortions, but to what extent. What are the limits? What are the best fiber-characterization practices?

In this Webinar, we are going to reveal the myths and realities about the critical parameters that need to be controlled when deploying hybrid systems, such as 10 Gbit/s (NRZ) and 100 Gbit/s (DP-QPSK), including:

-Guard bands
-Dispersion compensation
-Nonlinear effects

Do you have visibility into all the applications running on your network, their traffic patterns and bandwidth consumption? For critical business services and applications it is essential to understand exactly how your network is being used and to effectively manage resources to meet availability and performance expectations.

Join Wilson Leong, Sr Principal Consultant at CA Technologies on this webcast, to learn how the CA Network Flow Analysis (NFA) solution provides you the capability to understand how, what and where network traffic is flowing across your production environment to ensure you:

• Solve performance problems faster with complete visibility of network consumption
• Optimise the network infrastructure for application performance with effective workload scheduling and QoS policies
• Make more-informed infrastructure investments by understanding the impact of application rollouts and future capacity requirements

Over the course of the last 15-20 years, “industry experts” have been proclaiming the death of the mainframe. The reality is that the mainframe continues to thrive and grow and house the majority of the world’s most critical business data.

The real issue we are beginning to experience is a shortage of skills for managing the mainframe. Mainframe DBAs are aging and retiring and new talent is not being trained quick enough. The new generation of IT professionals has a completely different way of thinking and working. The i(Pad,Pod, and Phone) generation has no interest in the acronyms TSO or ISPF. In order for these up and coming professionals to manage the mainframe they will require a new toolset geared towards their way of thinking.

In this webcast, we’ll provide real life examples of z/OS systems management for the next gen mainframe. We’ll also discuss how an integrated role based workspace can help you simply and effectively manage tasks like identifying DB2 performance bottlenecks or performing complex migrations.

We invite you to join us on Tuesday, March 4 at 9 a.m. PT for a webcast on the next generation of our OneCore Storage™ Software Development Kit (SDK)! OneCore Storage 5.0 (OCS 5.0) is a comprehensive solution for independent hardware and software vendors to create target side drivers in a custom, high efficiency environment for storage applications that require low latency and high performance. The webcast will focus on how the next generation of the SDK adds new features including support for of the new Emulex OneConnect® OCe14000 family of 10Gb Ethernet (10GbE) Network Adapters and Converged Network Adapters (CNAs)

The wireless landscape continues to evolve at breakneck speed, and is growing in both size and density. But to meet the goals needed to achieve greater connectivity and speeds everywhere—both indoors and out—specific steps are required prior to and after activation. This webinar covers the following three aspects of HetNet installation, commissioning, maintenance and troubleshooting best practices:

- Fiber optics: Connectors, loss and physical medium characterization
- RF best practices in heterogeneous networks
- Verification of Ethernet service key performance metrics

ICT Enterprise architecture is the backbone of corporate IT systems, the question is are they or can they be sustainable?

Join the MD of Carbon 3IT and Vice chair of the BCS Green IT SG John Booth and his guests Alex Bardell of Deloitte, Richard Lanyon Hogg of IBM, Bob Crookes from DEFRA and Chair of the BCS Green IT SG and IT4s Consultant Gary Thornton as they answer the core questions for sustainable enterprise architecture:
- What is sustainable enterprise architecture?
- Will it require additional skills or money to achieve?
- Will enterprise architecture be superseded by cloud technologies?

It has become a well-known fact that the demand for bandwidth from consumers and enterprises is growing exponentially. So much so, in fact, that what was considered high-speed not so long ago is now starting to look like yesterday’s news. What was at first only important in the world of network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) has moved to the realm of network service providers (NSPs). To stay in the game, these providers must upgrade their networks to higher speeds. However, since 40G/100G technologies are continually changing, the buy-in for such upgrades is neither cheap, nor simple. In this webinar, we will discuss the evolution of IP, the Ethernet changes for 40G and 100G, and the connection between old and new networks.

•Bandwidth usage worldwide
•Storage and cloud-computing
•IEEE 802.3ba – 40G and 100G Ethernet standard
•New interfaces
•End-to-end performance verification

The best infrastructure for an app or a service increasingly requires both public and private cloud environments. As enterprise IT teams build private clouds behind their firewall to deploy hybrid IT and leverage the capabilities of elastic public clouds, they will have to contend with profound changes to the network. Innovations promise to make the modern network more automated and dynamic to provide connectivity on-demand in a highly secure fashion.

Today organizations require a flexible IT infrastructure that can spin up resources on demand and securely segment traffic. Virtual private clouds (VPC) allow you to provision a logically isolated section of the public cloud where you can launch resources in a virtual network that you define. The VPC feature set also allows you to easily customize the configuration.

Join Cloudscaling and Juniper to learn from their first hand experience with enterprise customers deploying network virtualization to speed time to market for new apps and services by automating the creation of virtual networks that interconnect private, hybrid and public clouds. They will demonstrate the integrated Cloudscaling OCS and OpenContrail solution that offers a simple to deploy and agile platform based on open source technologies. These experts will also provide insight into:

- Why OpenStack is becoming the de facto cloud open source software for building private and public clouds.
- The importance of orchestration and APIs in the software defined data center
- How virtual networks can seamlessly integrate with physical networks
- How to ease the transition to the private cloud by using service chaining to virtually insert services into the flow of network traffic
