SC09

Modern data centers are the lynchpin of today’s successful enterprises and with so many developments happening in the industry its paramount for IT managers to understand what enables innovations such as cloud computing, cluster computing and virtualization. The networks of today must be prepared to meet tomorrow’s challenges of convergence, consolidation and application delivery performance.

The Ethernet Alliance’s demonstration, Ethernet:  THE Converged Network, showcased at SC09 Booth #1259 is a multi-vendor, multi-technology event that shows Ethernet’s ability to support high performance networking. This showcase highlights how Ethernet delivers a high performance enterprise data center infrastructure while converging client messaging, storage and sever application communications over a unified network.

This interoperability event features the role, interaction and performance of a multitude of switching and routing technologies across layers 1 to 7. This real-world converged network demonstration will support:

• iSCSI

• Internet Wide Area RDMA Protocol (iWARP)

• Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet (SFP+, Short-Haul Copper, 10GBASE-T)

• Data Center Bridging (DCB)

• Virtualization

• Cloud Computing
