Also learn how Akamai can help addresses those challenges to achieve desired performance, availability, scalability and security. | ||||
11:10 am - 11:30 am | Clouds, Open Automation and How the Network Can Help Michael O'Brien, VP, Alliances, Force10 Networks Inc. Data center (DC) consolidation harkens back to the centralized glass room, enabling better control over fixed costs. Virtualization drives up utilization of server compute and storage assets, reduces sprawl and helps reduce power and cooling. The next phase of DC evolution will help applications adjust to load. Referred to as Services Oriented Architectures (SOA) a few years ago, it is now being mixed in with cloud computing and networking. The tools are there to usher in a new way of making traditionally static networks ‘dynamic.’ The network responds automatically to requests for more or less bandwidth, provisioning network access, security and QoS, all without human intervention. This session will illustrate how existing data center assets have been repurposed to increase utilization, and improve application agility. | ||||

However, one virtualization method does not fit all. Learn how Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) have evolved beyond Load Balancing and how the many differing approaches to virtualization can power private and public cloud deployments while reducing virtual machine sprawl. | ||||

As organizations grows and IT becomes more complex with technologies such as virtualization, cloud computing and consolidation, the importance of the underlying network continues to grow. The key takeaways will include best practices to avoid the risk of poor performance, cost overruns and implementation delays with new projects. | ||||
11:30 am - 11:50 am | Global MPLS Networks and the use of Extended-Net Networks Margareta Sauger, Senior Sales Manager, Enterprise Business Development, Americas, PCCW Global MPLS has become ubiquitously available and Enterprises are looking to build their networks with one carrier that can support their growing communications needs throughout the world. Dealing with one Carrier instead of multiple Carriers allows for companies to save cost, cut down on cycles, and focus on their business rather than managing numerous global carriers. Attendees will learn the unique attributes of Extended-Net Networks and InterCarrier Interconnects; best practices of a seamless implementation; what to look for and how to ensure that One Network Provider has enough experience with providing a seamless, “best-of-breed” global MPLS network solution. | ||||
11:30 am - 11:50 am | Technology Briefing | ||||
11:30 am - 11:50 am | Power Issues – They are not limited to Cost and Availability Stephen Vineyard, Data Center Manager, Internap Concerns over the cost and availability of power are forefront in the minds of most organizations maintaining and operating data centers. However, they now have one more thing to worry about when it comes to power consumption - new possible regulations. Legislation -enacted and in place in the EU- is placing new requirements for monitoring and reporting regarding the consumption of power.particularly among large power consumers such as data centers. This type of regulation is appealing to the current U.S. administration and is likely to find its way to our shores within the next few years. Hear how Internap has anticipated these requirements and is introducing new procedures and metrics to accommodate them in their data centers. | ||||
