With the ratification of new industry standards and increased demands on data center throughput, 40/100G Ethernet will be an integral component of the next generation data center.
In fact, it is already an emerging influence on how organizations plan, build and operate their existing data center architecture. The market proves this: manufacturers are already responding to the increased demand for Ethernet hardware, including cabling products, switches and transceivers.
Check out our archived webinar, “Preparing for the Next-Gen Data Center: 16G Fibre Channel.” James Mallon, Systems Engineer from Brocade, presented on the changes in the physical layer and hardware platforms when migrating to 16G Fibre Channel.
Register for our 2/22 webinar today! In September 2010, the Fibre Channel Industry Association (FCIA) ratified the standard for 16Gb Fibre Channel. And while the adoption of new interconnect technology is never immediate, it’s important for organizations to begin thinking about how to prepare for this inevitable change. In this webinar you will learn about the changes in physical layer and hardware platforms when migrating to 16G Fibre Channel to help you decide how to begin planning for the next-gen data center.
In this webinar, you will learn:
How the physical layer of the data center will be affected by the migration to 16G Fibre Channel
What changes will be made to the networking and cabling infrastructure as a result of migration
What you can do to prepare for 16G Fibre Channel now
Since the ratification of IEEE 802.3ba, the transition to 40/100 gigabit Ethernet speeds is no longer a question of if, but when. Senior Product Manager Josh Taylor and Engineering Manager Kent Goldsmith are going to go over the five things you need to know in order to prepare for 40/100G speeds in your data center.
Register now to learn how to best prepare for 40/100G speeds, including answering the following questions:
What is the connector of choice when it comes to 40/100G transmission media?
What is the total link distance and what is the loss budget?
What is “skew,” and do I need to worry about it?
What bandwidth glass should I be using?
What about optical trunk light path? Do parallel optics need a different light path than that of duplex transmissions?

The enclosure is an integral part of data center design. You will learn how to select a single enclosure platform that will allow you to utilize a number of accessories and techniques throughout the lifespan of the data center.
In this webinar you will learn:
Role of the enclosure and best practices
Overview of design types and future-proofing your data center
Challenges that big switches pose for racks and cabinets (Enhanced Networking Enclosure)
Cooling and cable management issues and products (side car, horizontal trough, brush grommet kits, baffle kits, etc.)
