  • Fibre Channel SAN Workloads Feb 12 2020 6:00 pm UTC 75 mins
    Barry Maskas, HPE; Nishant Lodha, Marvell; Mark Jones, Broadcom
    Fibre Channel (FC) SAN workloads are not difficult, but there are several people who do not understand how the workloads line up to appropriate storage protocol and their characteristics. Different workloads have different “Fingerprints,” so to speak. Since FC SANs are block, they work very well with applications that have a lot of transactional data, a lot of random read/write loads, and are particularly good for virtual machine file systems.

    This webinar will discuss:
    •I/O fingerprints: I/O block sizes & IOPS requirements for various “FC SAN applications”
    •An overview of application access patterns, guided by best practices and experience
    •How FC fulfills these IOPS requirements and how CPU BW is as important as IOPS

    We will briefly investigate application sensitivity to latency, and show how protocol can affect performance.

  • Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) for The Modern Networks Jan 21 2020 4:00 pm UTC 60 mins
    Wayne Xing, Network Solution Architecture, Visualzero Solutions, 6xCCIE, CISSP, VCP-NV
    Organizations are deploying more applications in the cloud, implementing more devices in branch offices and consuming more bandwidth. Traditional connectivity options such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Frame-Relay, Leased Line etc. can be expensive and slow to provision, and provide limited bandwidth in many locations.

    Many organizations are looking for an agile connectivity solution for their digital transformation into the cloud era. SDWAN (software defined Wide Area Network) fundamentally creates a secure scalable fabric with the most limited amount of state on the edge device and performs most of the fabric decision making in the controller. This allows organizations to have the flexibility to make topologies as needed, add segments as needed and to be able to deliver into the environment new and old styles of capabilities while maintaining a well-developed routing environment.

    Key takeaways:
    - The combination of app content, app delivery and app consumption are resulting in an evolving WAN situation

    - Challenges such as poor application experiences, increased WAN services spend, and a lack of visibility and control are making it difficult for IT to provide the business with a platform to support faster innovation

    - Most IT organizations are interested in realizing a common set of benefits such as consistent high-quality user experiences, reduced cost, simplified operations and lower risk

    - The journey to the next generation software defined WAN requires considering various technical capabilities such as transport independence, ubiquitous data plane, automatically secure routed endpoints, resiliency, application aware routing, cloud readiness, simple secure network segmentation, centralized policy enforcement and layer 4-7 flexible services insertion

    - Migrating to a software defined WAN does not need to be difficult as long as one knows the best approach to a software-defined WAN environment.

  • Understanding Fibre Channel Scaling Recorded: Nov 6 2019 60 mins
    Mark Rogov, Dell EMC; Brandon Hoff, Broadcom; J Metz, Cisco
    One of Fibre Channel’s greatest strengths is its ability to scale to thousands and thousands of nodes, while providing predictable performance. So, when we say that Fibre Channel has unmatched scalability, what does that actually mean? And how does it work?

    We often hear about “designed from the ground up,” but in this case it’s actually true. From each individual link, to the overall domain architecture, each step along the way is intended to be approached in a scalable fashion.

    In this webinar, we’ll be breaking down the pieces of the puzzle that help give Fibre Channel its robustness when you’re working at fabrics even greater than 10,000 nodes. We’ll be talking about:

    •What a deterministic storage network is
    •Fabric management principles
    •Negotiated credit transfers (buffer-to-buffer credits)
    •Network Engineering/Design Principles
    •Oversubscription and Fan-In Ratios
    •Topologies that help scale
    •Domains and Fabric limits
    •Consistency of performance at scale

    Along the way, we’ll be talking about some of the ways that Fibre Channel differs from other popular storage networks as they approach large-scale environments, and how it handles issues that arise in such cases.

    Please join us on November 6th at 10:00 am PT/1:00 pm ET for another educational webinar on Fibre Channel!
