We are pleased to announce that our Platinum Sponsors, CommScope and Panduit will be presenting at Cisco Networkers 2009. These sessions take place on Tuesday January 27 and can be booked now through the content catalogue.
Partner Session Abstracts:
Overview of Emerging 40 and 100 GbE Standards - Presented by Dave Tanis, Commscope
This presentation will focus on the standardisation activities within IEEE 802.3ba around 40 and 100GbE and the implications on the physical infrastructure within the Data Centre. The applications which are driving the need for higher speed Ethernet will also be discussed, along with other emerging standards which will shape how the higher speed interconnect will be deployed.
Unified Physical Infrastructure applied to a Data Centre Build - Presented by David Palmer-Stevens, Panduit
Data Centre Managers right now are facing Consolidation, Virtualisation and turning the DC in to a Green resource. With the right considerations an unlikely "knight in shining armour" can help meet these demands: physical infrastructure.
The PANDUIT vision of the "Unified Physical Infrastructure (UPI)" takes a holistic approach towards data centre design and risk management by balancing site-specific infrastructure technologies with effective capacity planning. This approach encourages stronger, more frequent interaction between IT and facilities management to deliver a physical infrastructure that best fits the demand profile of high-density data centre applications. These solutions also optimise data processing power and cooling systems to support data centre virtualisation and consolidation efforts.
