Demartek Presents a Unified Data Center Network Infrastructure at the Storage Decisions Conferences in June 2009

14 April 2009

Dennis Martin, President of Demartek, will present Not "Just a Switch" Anymore -- Data Center Backbone Architectures at the Storage Decisions Conferences in Chicago and Toronto in June 2009. The Chicago conference will be held June 1-2, 2009. The Toronto conference will be held June 16, 2009.

The leading switch vendors have revealed their visions of a unified data center network infrastructure. It sounds good, but what are the ramifications for the storage networking infrastructures you have in place? This session will cover:

The technologies that are available now—and what’s still needed
Key protocols and standards that will make the unified data center work
The advantages—and drawbacks—of having an integrated network
How will currently installed storage networks be affected

In addition, Dennis will include some of the results from his unified network testing with Enhanced Ethernet in the Demartek lab.
