Business requirements today are more dependent on network services than ever. Unavoidably, the success of many modern organizations now revolves around the applications running from servers in the data center.
For far too long investment in the data center was regarded as a low priority when it came to company expenditure and investment. This eye opening article points out how this situation is rapidly changing as companies realize that many business critical functions are underpinned by reliable and secure access to information.
Experience shows that a new step forward in speed will only be widely accepted by the market if there is also a twisted pair version. Until recently no-one could say whether a 40 Gigabit version of Ethernet was also possible over twisted pair. That has now changed and there will definitely be 40 GBASE-T.
How intelligent infrastructure management systems can reduce costs in today's business environment
A new year normally commences with optimism and confidence; at least that is how 2008 started. But it is fascinating how quickly this feeling of exhilaration and hope can change. One day bankers and financial experts are happily walking down Wall Street to their offices, and the next day they are making their way home carrying only their personal belongings.
Multiple technologies, multiple disciplines- challenges integrating ITS with building design
The information transport systems (ITS) industry continues to witness the rapid development of new and improved technologies. New design approaches are often presented to designers, installers and end users as discrete applications. An organization wishing to integrate multiple technological advances may encounter difficulties interfacing the various systems with the building design. Add the difficulties of integrating multiple technologies to the complications of the interdisciplinary design process, and you get a picture of the task currently confronting the ITS designer. It is important that the infrastructure designer considers each technology as part of a larger, single system rather than as isolated components. Doing so will help to avoid potential integration difficulties.
Strategic Path discusses best practices and IT infrastructure challenges with Chris Fasseau, Michael Shallcross and Dylan Morison on the best ways to deal with today's infrastructure pressures.
