  Interop 2012 – It’s all about the Network

  Having left Las Vegas in the rear view mirror and enjoying a lengthy plane ride home gave me time to reflect on my time at Interop 2012. As the title of this blog indicates, many that I spoke to felt as though the show this spring had a definite network focus. You might be saying, duh, it is a networking show, and you would be correct, but there seemed to be less cloud washing and more about the Network, like Software-defined Networking, support for BYOD environments and even low latency Ethernet.

  Research Brief: Delivering Virtual Desktops to Remote Office/Branch Office Users: A Networking Perspective

  Replacing traditional desktop and laptop PCs with virtual desktops at remote and branch offices (ROBOs) offers a number of benefits, ranging from improved application accessibility and reliability to better data protection and compliance. However, survey data reveals that network-related challenges may be a major inhibitor to more widespread adoption of desktop virtualization at remote sites as they impact performance and drive up WAN bandwidth costs. Solving these pressing issues will play a major role in helping virtual desktop technology deliver on its promise and fulfill its market potential.

  Research Brief: Data Center Network Discontinuity Points to the Need for Software-Defined Networks

  Driven by data center consolidation, server virtualization, and increased use of web applications, data centers and their networks are scaling at an unprecedented rate. The rate of scale has challenged network administrators working with legacy networks and processes to keep pace. Software-defined networking (SDN)-such as the OpenFlow protocol-which centralizes the controller, opens, and utilizes software to program the network, offers a promising solution.

  The Evolution of WAN Optimization

  While WAN optimization has made significant inroads, it has not been universally adopted. As applications and business needs change, WAN optimization technologies need to change with them. For example, first-generation WAN optimization appliances may enable e-mail applications to function at a high level, but will they also deliver the same levels of performance enhancement to video teleconferencing? Furthermore, as data continues to grow, can first-generation technology scale to meet these demands, especially between new mega data centers? Today's solutions may be sufficient now, but how will they accommodate new requirements driven by new business and IT initiatives?

  This Market Landscape Report categorizes the various WAN optimization vendors' solutions, provides purchasing guidelines, and reviews the considerations that organizations should take before making an investment in a WAN optimization technology.
