- The Data Center LAN Evolution Series
- A Webtorials Thought Leadership Discussion
- Dr. Jim Metzler, Moderator
- Featuring Arista, Avaya, Brocade, Cisco Systems, Extreme Networks and HP
Driven largely by the changes brought on by the adoption of
virtualization and cloud computing, the majority of IT organizations are
currently re-thinking their data center LAN strategy. To help IT
organizations develop effective strategies, we will present a series of
six monthly discussions that will involve six of the major data center
LAN vendors. Each discussion will begin with a somewhat high-level
question on a topic that is relevant to the evolution of data center
LANs. During each month, we will ask one or two follow-on questions. During each month, the sponsors will respond to the questions and will comment on the responses of the other sponsors.
Each vendor response and comment will focus on technology and design issues. The vendors will not, for example, discuss products. We look forward to your participation in the discussions.
