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

Preparing for the Next-Gen Data Center: 16G Fibre Channel
Date: Wednesday, February 22, 2012
Time: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM EST
Presented by: James Mallon, Systems Engineer, Brocade

After registering you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

CABLExpress is launching a campaign to help Layer One gain the respect it deserves.

Why Respect Layer One™?

Because you wouldn’t drive a race car on a gravel road, and you wouldn’t buy sub-standard cabling to serve large-scale networking equipment. CABLExpress is the difference in your data center with our innovative cabling solutions that get your network operating at optimum speeds and performance levels.

In our new campaign you will get to meet Ant and Kevin, two seriously geeky data center guys who just don’t get the importance of their infrastructure.  Watch their humorous transformation as they learn all about the importance a properly designed infrastructure can make!

I have been involved in the cabling infrastructure business now for close to 30 years.  During that time a lot has changed but one thing often remains the same… Layer One (specifically cabling)  is often the last thing considered in an IT upgrade.   Yes, whether its a cramped closet that we are stuck in and forced to use or an unplanned point to point connection in the data center… Layer One is the last thing often considered.

Its time LAYER ONE gets some respect!

This month the CABLExpress Team has started a campaign to help Layer One get the respect it deserves.   Join us at AFCOM’s Data Center World Conference in Las Vegas to learn  more about the importance of Layer One.  We’ll help you learn how a properly designed fiber infrastructure can help save you money and future proof your investment.

Hey, it’s TIME for your Layer One Infrastructure to get the respect it deserves.
