Turn Copper into Gold with a Passive Optical NetworkLive Event Date: December 10, 2013 @ 2:00 p.m. ET / 11:00 a.m. PT In the 1980s and 1990s optical communications revolutionized long-haul transmission. Today, the long distance and underwater communications backbone of every major provider is built on a foundation of optical networking technology. This technology has proven to be vastly superior to copper in terms of bandwidth, range, consumed power, longevity, reliability, and security. Recent advances in manufacturing and increased commercialization are driving down the cost of passive optical components, and now is the time for your enterprise to take advantage of passive optical technology. Come to this eSeminar to hear how implementing a passive optical network can help you to: Reduce infrastructure footprint and CapEx/OpEx Improve energy efficiency and qualify for green technology grants and/or certifications Create a network environment that is safer, more reliable, and easier to manage Register for and attend this eseminar to learn about these points and more, and to hear about benefits realized from real world examples PON implementation. -

How to Make the Business Case for Replication AccelerationEvent Date: December 4, 2013 Data protection is a critical part of business continuance and off-site data replication provides a powerful tool for protecting critical data assets. When too much data must be protected in too short of a time, though, storage managers are placed in an impossible position: leave critical data unprotected or risk missing recovery point objectives (RPOs). In this eSeminar, Terri McClure, senior analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group, Inc., shares the findings from her recent research into how many enterprises are meeting the challenges of replicating data over the distance. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of RPOs, why meeting them is so challenging when data travels to remote locations, and how some enterprises mitigate those costs and protect more data within their existing replication windows. Everett Dolgner, director of replication product management at Silver Peak joins Ms. McClure and discusses how your organization can easily leverage replication acceleration software to enhance your DR strategy and meet your RPO. -
Virtual Machine Backup and Recovery: Five Critical DecisionsBecause of the economy, flexibility, and service levels it offers, virtualization is transforming data centers at breakneck speed. But the speed of this transformation raises challenges for "traditional" IT services and the teams that deliver them. Nowhere is the complexity that virtualization creates for traditional IT services more apparent than in backup and recovery. This white paper addresses five critical decisions organizations must make when building a backup and recovery plan to control and protect applications and data, contain costs, and create an efficient, scalable, future-prepared backup and recovery environment.
