Software Development Company Uses Latest IP Technology to Support Its Rapid Expansion
Overview Telcotec's workforce had doubled in two years, from 20 staff to 40. Due to this rapid company expansion, the fast-growing telecoms software and services provider decided to move to considerably larger premises in south Dublin. To support this move, the company needed to update its communications infrastructure. The network was unpredictable, and had grown erratically as the business grew. Whilst it was supposed to offer fast, 100 Mbps connection speeds, some users wouldn't even get 16 Mbps because of how the network was linked together. To solve these problems, Telcotec turned to Nortel. Through the partnership between BT and Nortel, Telcotec implemented a brand-new network based on the Nortel Business Communications Manager 400 (BCM 400).

Enabling VMware ESX Server VLAN Network Configurations for the Dell PowerEdge 1855 Blade Server
Virtualization allows for the creation of multiple virtual machines (VMs) that can run simultaneously on a single physical server. These VMs can communicate among each other and with other physical...
Performance Considerations for Network Switch Fabrics on Linux Clusters
In this paper the authors investigate the necessity of a high speed interconnect for Linux based clusters and the performance differences between Myrinet and Ethernet connected networks. The authors benchmark...
A Comparison of MPICH Allgather Algorithms on Switched Networks
The study discussed in this paper evaluates the performance of MPI_Allgather() in MPICH 1.2.5 on a Linux cluster. This implementation of MPICH improves on the performance of allgather compared to...
Ethernet Over SONET GFP, VCAT and LCAS
Enterprise networks are demanding Ethernet services to their Service Providers. In a time when capital is constrained, Service Providers want to use their present SONET/SDH infrastructure to transport Ethernet in...
TIA-942 Data Center Networking Applications: 10 Gigabit Ethernet Over Twisted-Pair Copper
In parallel and subsequent to the development of TIA-942, the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet working group published two twisted-pair copper standards, 1000 Mb/s Ethernet designated 1000BASE-T and 10 Gb/s Ethernet (10...
