Demartek Presents a Unified Data Center Network Infrastructure at the Storage Decisions Conferences - June 2009
14 April 2009
Dennis Martin, President of Demartek, will present Not "Just a Switch" Anymore -- Data Center Backbone Architectures at the Storage Decisions Conferences in Chicago and Toronto in June 2009. The Chicago conference will be held June 1-2, 2009. The Toronto conference will be held June 16, 2009.
UPDATE -- In case you missed the Chicago or Toronto sessions, you can catch the updated version in San Francisco on November 17, 2009.
The leading switch vendors have revealed their visions of a unified data center network infrastructure. It sounds good, but what are the ramifications for the storage networking infrastructures you have in place? This session will cover:
- The technologies that are available now—and what’s still needed
- Key protocols and standards that will make the unified data center work
- The advantages—and drawbacks—of having an integrated network
- How will currently installed storage networks be affected
In addition, Dennis will include some of the results from his unified network testing with Enhanced Ethernet in the Demartek lab.
Demartek plans to continue to test the unified data center network and things such as FCoE in the Demartek lab. Also see Demartek FCoE First Look reports and the Demartek unified networking lab infrastructure.
