  • FCoE data center: Can data and storage network convergence go too far?

    The FCoE data center offers enterprises the opportunity to converge data and storage traffic on a single network infrastructure. Most experts see data center network convergence as an opportunity to reduce cost and complexity within servers and racks...  Article

  • Cisco Unified Computing pushes to support every fabric

    Cisco released new Cisco Unified Computing fabric extenders that will enable Nexus 5000 switches to support multiple types of fabrics ranging from Fibre Channel over Ethernet Infiniband (FCoE) to iSCSI and Infiniband.  Article

  • 10 GbE switches: How important is the race for highest-density core?

    Port density in 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches is a horserace, and Force10 is currently in the lead with its new E-Series ExaScale line cards. But how many network engineers really need a network core switch with that much firepower? Virtualization, cl...  Article

  • Cisco UCS testing shows throughput constraints, one lab says

    Cisco UCS testing results from the Tolly Group indicate that throughput is much lower than Cisco claims. Tolly claims Cisco unified computing architecture relies on oversubscribed blade servers and clumsy external switches.  Article

  • Half of enterprises to have 10 GbE switches in core by 2012

    Virtualization and data center consolidation lower costs and improve efficiency but require more powerful networks, which is why one organization in two is expected to deploy 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switches in the core by 2012, according to a rece...  Article

  • Managing unified networking and storage fabric: Who's in charge?

    When it comes to managing unified fabric, the jury is out on who's in charge. FCoE switches and adapters have LAN and SAN elements and can be managed by existing network or storage interfaces. But the two teams have very different approaches.  Tip

  • Testing 10 gigabit Ethernet switch latency: What to look for

    Testing 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches means going beyond just speed to examine potential latency. Testing 10 gigabit Ethernet switch latency requires choosing the right switches and testing tools and recreating your track flow in just the right way.  Tip

  • Unified fabric: Data center bridging and FCoE implementation

    IT organizations planning to deploy a unified storage and network fabric through data center bridging and FCoE implementation must consider a host of components, such as adapters, and configuration plans.  Tip

  • Unified data center fabric primer: FCoE and data center bridging

    Unified data center fabrics combine FCoE and data center bridging to enable SAN and LAN traffic to run on the same physical network, simplifying network architecture and resulting in savings. This unified data center fabric primer runs down the basic...  Tip

  • Data center networks in 2010: Two-tier networks arrive

    SearchNetworking.com asked Gartner Research VP Joe Skorupa to predict what 2010 has in store for data center networks. He sees a price war driven by the HP-3Com merger, the rise of two-tiered architecture, and more 10 Gigabit Ethernet adoption.  Article
