- Embracing virtualization as a catalyst for change throughout the infrastructure. Built on standards-based interfaces that efficiently and dynamically improve performance by eliminating equipment. Shrinking footprints. Lowering energy demands. And simplifying management.
- Are you ready for the New Data Center?
- In this unique session, Network World brings together Juniper Networks, IBM Solutions, and Nemertes Research to help you understand, build, and transition to the New Data Center that won’t wait for you! Featuring solutions and fresh-from-the-enterprise case histories already rippling through every industry as companies move from design-time architectures to run-time, on-demand engineering.
- You’ll see how to create a New Data Center that allows multi-discipline teams and cross-discipline task forces to inject change simultaneously and seamlessly throughout your enterprise. Delivering competitive, measurable advantages simply unimaginable a year ago. Benefits that will be unavailable to those who fail to recognize that this is more than new technology. It’s a transformative new strategy. An exciting way to work. And the future of the New Data Center.
- Strategies and Technologies
- • Virtual Chassis™ technology to dramatically reduce the number of devices and links in the data center network.
• Scalable platforms that collapse layers and tiers resulting in operational simplicity, lower latency for applications, and lower power consumption.
• Virtualized security services to create operational simplicity and faster application response times across the network.
• JUNOS software to establish a single operating platform for operational ease in running, maintaining, and defending the network with far fewer people and effort.
• MPLS to provide network virtualization for scalable segmentation of the data center network for on-demand applications and goal-oriented business units.
• Standards-based management interfaces to allow strategic, single-point management across the network.
- Takeaways
- • How to design a highly-agile infrastructure
• How to efficiently provision and partition silos
• How to marry resources to requirements for optimized throughput
• How virtualization simplifies the data center and creates agility
• How to overcome the obstacles virtualization in the network can create
• How to plan for the new data center and meet the challenge of growth

IP Communications Roadmap
- Analyst
- Robin Gareiss, EVP & Sr. Founding Partner, Nemertes Research
- The convergence of traditional enterprise applications with real-time collaboration, Web 2.0 and IP telephony is one of the most important IT trends among enterprises. Successful implementation of collaborative apps such as Web conferencing, video conferencing, IP telephony, shared workspaces, instant messaging, presence, and social computing are crucial to productivity and profits..
- Since these apps are most easily implemented on top of converged voice/data/video networks and infrastructure, networks must be intelligent enough to route traffic in a predictable, reliable fashion. Attend this track and gain the right architecture, adopt the right monitoring/management tools, and implement the right services (either hosted, managed, or in-house), that will truly result in savings across capital, and operations.
- Technologies

Virtualization Roadmap
- Analyst
- John Burke, Principal Research Analyst, Nemertes Research
- With server virtualization already present in nearly all data centers, the question is no longer when to virtualize, but how to virtualize.
- Drawing on first-hand results gained from some of IT’s most effective practitioners, this session will show how front-line users achieved immediate and long term benefits of server virtualization: Immediate cost reductions due to hardware consolidation and lowered operating expenses.
- To fully support virtualized servers and desktops, institutions will then inevitably be pulled into virtualizing other resource pools in their data centers including storage, networks, and applications. The session will show you how these all fit together to form the new virtualized data center.
- Technologies
- • Server virtualization
• Desktop virtualization
• Application virtualization
• Storage virtualization
• Network virtualization and flattening
• Security virtualization
• Management and provisioning tools for virtualized resource pools
- New for ’09
- • Latest and most complete data on server virtualization
• Latest and most complete data on desktop virtualization
• Combining technologies for maximum agility
• Current data on failover and DR
• Alternative strategies to hypervisor/VM server virtualization
• Best practices in management and monitoring
- Takeaways
- • How to virtualizing workloads- when a virtual server is not the right answer
• Building the business case for server virtualization- when hardware consolidation is not enough
• How and when to virtualize without consolidation
• How to improve disaster recovery using virtualization
• How to introduce and expand virtual desktops in your organization
• Management and monitoring issues in virtualized infrastructures
• Security and compliance considerations for virtualized infrastructures
• Security architecture that embraces new agility paradigms

WAN, LAN and Mobility Roadmap
- Analyst
- Robin Gareiss, EVP & Sr. Founding Partner, Nemertes Research
- Enterprises are faced with a dizzying array of choices for site-to-site and Internet connectivity. Services such as MPLS, Ethernet, and fixed-wireless technologies offer opportunities to reduce costs and improve service delivery - if the enterprise is able to optimize contracts and services from a widely divergent mix of available providers.
- At the same time, successful enterprises must developing consistent approaches for the architecture, equipment, and services at the branch office so each location isn’t an isolated island in a distributed enterprise.
- This session examines trends in WAN services and branch-product evolution and provides attendees with the keys to evaluating, selecting, and contracting for the optimal mix of products and services within their organization.
