Overview
The 10 Gigabit Ethernet is positioned as a high-speed unifying technology for LANs, MANs, WANs, and Storage Networks, providing high bandwidth at relatively low cost. In LAN applications, 10 Gigabit will enable organizations to scale their packet-based networks from 10 Mbps to 10000 Mbps thereby leveraging their investments in Ethernet. In MAN and WAN applications, 10 Gigabit Ethernet will enable service providers to create extremely long-distance Ethernet links at very competitive costs. In the Storage area, it can be a replacement for the costly Fiber channel technology. The technology will enable high bandwidth applications like Video-on-demand, distributed computing, real-time modeling and simulation for scientific applications, medical imaging etc.
In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
In today's fast-paced world, access to real-time data has never been more important. To be successful, organizations need to be able to report and analyze corporate data quickly and easily, regardless of what applications created the data, what platform they're running on, or what database they're stored in.
This white paper provides a starting point for organizations contemplating server consolidation. It includes an overview of server consolidation concepts and techniques and provides guidance on methodologies. It also looks at the potential cost savings associated with server consolidation and offers information on how organizations can sustain the advantage they have gained by consolidating their servers.
