Even a finely-tuned network has room for improvement. SearchNetworking.com expert Carrie Higbie shares her ten favorite new technologies that will help you eliminate bottlenecks and increase network throughput.

  1. Intelligent patching - Allows you to see where devices are on your networks and decreases troubleshooting and fault detection
  2. Better cabling - Less susceptible to problems and a better value too
  3. 10G is reality - Utilize SMF or 50 micron laser optimized fiber
  4. Security appliances - Stop problems before they propagate
  5. Layer 7 products - Can assist with bandwidth-hungry applications
  6. Wireless, especially WiMax - Provides increased performance for some last-mile and/or campus applications
  7. Blades - All things blade... racks, enclosures, iInteroperability booths, servers and storage, cooling and power
  8. Advancements in switching and routing - Provides increased wire-speed processing
  9. VoIP/IPT - It's not new, but is being readily adopted
  10. Grid computing - Offers ability to group/cluster many systems together to increase processing power

Check out Carrie's full-length presentation on these exciting new technologies here.
