Operational challenges have long been used as a reason not to introduce a second vendor into the network infrastructure. However, by taking an organized approach and using well-established multivendor network management tools and disciplines, enterprises can reduce operational challenges to a minimum, while reaping the benefits of a lower-cost, better-performing infrastructure.

The proliferation of new, extended application development in software as a service, as well as new virtualization technologies, have created in most data centers a conflict between today's outdated capabilities versus tomorrow's growing needs.

A number of associations, consultants and vendors have promoted best practices for enhancing data center energy efficiency. These practices cover everything from facility lighting to cooling system design, and have proven useful in helping some companies slow or reverse the trend of rising data center energy consumption. However, most organizations still lack a cohesive, holistic approach for reducing data center energy use.

Throughout the first decade of the 21st century, countless new technologies, unprecedented business demands, and expanding IT budgets created the modern data center.

The strategic business importance of today's data center requires a more complex and thoughtful approach to environmental control planning than ever before.

This paper will examine current methods used to eliminate waived errors at the chip level and describe a new automatable method for identifying and removing waived errors from DRC results.

For anyone involved in IT, virtualization has ushered in an entirely new world, one where a lot of traditional rules, strategies, and approaches no longer apply. In the rush to adopt virtualization, many organizations have entered this world ill-equipped to deal with the new realities. This is especially true when it comes to capacity management.

Cloud computing is getting a lot of coverage in the media and a lot of space in the slide decks presented in analyst briefings.

The goal of this Essentials Series has been to illustrate why effective monitoring and management is necessary for a healthy network. That need is the case irrespective of the size of your network.

IP address management (IPAM) provides the ability to effectively manage, control, monitor, and assign the IP address space within a company. An IPAM solution reduces operations costs and improves network uptime by minimizing administrative effort and network downtime.

Today’s networks support more applications, traffic, users, and devices than ever before – a trend that only increases on a daily basis. At the heart of all IP networks live core network services, like DNS, DHCP, and  RADIUS that are crucial for keeping traffic flowing, users connected, and applications available.

Hundreds of organizations around the world use Microsoft® SharePoint® with  over 80 million implementations, allowing them to develop intelligent portals that seamlessly connect users, teams, and knowledge. With the release of Microsoft Offi ce SharePoint Server 2007, F5 has specifi cally developed and tested a comprehensive Application Ready infrastructure that enhances the security, availability and performance of SharePoint deployments, whether it’s over the LAN or across a global WAN.

A number of factors are fueling the demand for a new, intelligent approach to IP Address Management (IPAM). This document describes these factors while highlighting deficiencies in the legacy IPAM solutions and manual management techniques commonly used today. It also introduces the 'Five Pillars of IPAM Intelligence', BlueCat's framework for articulating its revolutionary, holistic approach to IPAM, and the foundation for the design of Proteus, BlueCat's next generation, intelligent IPAM platform.

This paper briefly traces some of the challenges involved with IP address distribution over the past two decades, to the current adoption of DHCP as the dynamic protocol of choice for pain-free management of network resources. Integral to the theme of secure yet reliable network administration is the integration of DNS and DHCP into a single network device called the Adonis DNS/DHCP Appliance which ensures that traditional barriers to secure and effective resource allocations are overcome with an efficient yet easy-to-use solution that enhances enterprise information security.

Are you looking for a comprehensive solution that addresses insufficient or congested bandwidth, impaired application performance, slow remote backup and replication or obstacles to IT consolidation? This paper will explain how Riverbed, whose product line, the Steelhead family of appliances, enables users to enjoy LAN-like access to important data and applications regardless of their location.
