Turn Copper into Gold with a Passive Optical Network

In the 1980s and 1990s optical communications revolutionized long-haul transmission. Today, the long distance and underwater communications backbone of every major provider is built on a foundation of optical networking technology. This technology has proven to be vastly superior to copper in terms of bandwidth, range, consumed power, longevity, reliability, and security.

Take VDI to the Next Level with 100% Flash Storage

VDI should be a "win win" for both enterprises and end-users, delivering enhanced security, workplace mobility, and enabling BYOD. Too often VDI projects fail on cost and performance. In most cases the culprit is storage: VDI requires an extreme level of storage performance that is difficult, if at all possible, to achieve with disk-based systems at an acceptable cost.

The Next Step in Open Source Development – Open Source Plus

The Open Source movement has been a major benefit to developers and users of information technology. However, there are aspects of Open Source projects that come up a little bit short against some of the demands of production or critical systems. More demanding mission critical application systems require more security, transaction management, automation, and audit support. IBM has responded to this problem with the Liberty Profile for Websphere Application Server (WAS). This profile supports the ability to develop using Open Source tools and seamlessly migrate the resulting application into the more comprehensive WAS platform for production. Liberty also allows ISVs and users to deploy applications without paying the license and support fees for Liberty Profile, making it a compelling option when compared to other JEE application servers.

Understanding Data Security – Trends and Predictions

Data security is not an IT issue, but a business imperative. As we see more and more media coverage of data breaches and security incidents, the inevitable question is: “What are we doing to make sure that doesn’t happen to us?”

Security

How to Make the Business Case for Replication Acceleration
Data protection is a critical part of business continuance and off-site data replication provides a powerful tool for protecting critical data assets. When too much data must be protected in too short of a time, though, storage managers are placed in an impossible position: leave critical data unprotected or risk missing recovery point objectives (RPOs). Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of RPOs, why meeting them is so challenging when data travels to remote locations, and how some enterprises mitigate those costs and protect more data within their existing replication windows.
