As recently as a couple of years ago not much was happening relative to the deployment of either new networking technologies and services, or new network management functionality. Suddenly that has all changed. Driven by the need to cut cost and to support a highly dynamic, virtualized data center, both the traditional data center LAN design and the traditional data center LAN technologies are rapidly becoming obsolete. While there is no fundamentally new WAN technology in development, a wide range of WAN functionality is being brought to market to enhance the price-performance of the WAN, as well as new, highly automated network management tools. These tools are targeting both traditional network management problems and the new generation of challenges created by the ongoing adoption of cloud computing. The Networking track will help you understand these new functionalities and tools, and how to address both current and future network management challenges.

11:30 AM – 12:30 PM Network Test Tools for Unified Communications Location: Lagoon J Real-time traffic (voice and video) demands a network that delivers low latency, low packet loss and low jitter. And that’s not easy to accomplish. The dynamic character of modern networks, and the growing requirement for highly distributed configurations can lead to errors in design or implementation that cause quality problems for voice and video apps. And so, a new breed of testing methodologies and tools is required to test or monitor converged networks and to isolate problems. This session will analyze and categorize these tools, and list vendors that provide the different kinds of solutions needed to manage today’s complex networks. Moderator - John Bartlett, Voice Video and Data Application Performance, NetForecast Inc. John Bartlett is a leading authority on real-time traffic, application performance and Quality of Service (QoS) techniques. He specializes in helping enterprises manage voice, video and data application performance. John has engaged with over 50 enterprises and over 20 network vendors to analyze network performance problems, design network solutions, and support network deployments. John has 30 years of experience in the semiconductor, computer and communications fields in marketing, sales, engineering, manufacturing and consulting roles. He has contributed to microprocessor, computer and network equipment design for over 40 products. He has been consulting since 1996. Prior to working as a consultant, John was a founder and VP of Engineering and Manufacturing at Agile Networks, now part of Lucent Technologies. Under his leadership, the company designed and built a high performance Ethernet switch implementing VLANs, and one of the first commercial ATM switches. Both products were successfully introduced to the market and the firm became profitable before it was acquired. John also served on the IEEE 802.1 committee during this period, and contributed to the development of the IEEE 802.1P and IEEE 802.1Q standards (priority and VLANs.) John is a graduate of Dartmouth College, and Dartmouth's Thayer School of Engineering.

11:30 AM – 12:30 PM What is the Impact of Cloud Computing on the Network? Location: Breakers L The media is overflowing with discussions of the benefits of adopting cloud computing and enabling technologies such as virtualization. What has been missing from that discussion is an analysis of what has to happen to the network and the management of the network to enable them to support cloud computing. For example, the deployment of vSwitches will potentially result in IT organizations having to manage hundreds of new switches from multiple vendors. In addition, today’s WAN can’t effectively support the dynamic movement of VMs nor cloud bursting and most management tools and processes are focused on static not dynamic resources. In this session, Jim Metzler of Ashton, Metzler & Associates will describe in detail the set of challenges created by cloud computing and will also provide an overview of the emerging networking, optimization and management technologies that hold the potential to mitigate these challenges. Speaker - Jim Metzler, Vice President, Ashton Metzler & Associates Jim has a wide background in the IT industry. This includes being a software engineer, an engineering manager for high-speed data services for a major telco, a product manager for network hardware, a network manager at two Fortune 500 companies, and the principal of a consulting organization.

2:15 PM – 3:15 PM How Should You Redesign Your Data Center LAN? Location: Breakers L For years IT organizations built three-tier data center LANs based on a number of broadly accepted axioms. This included the use of the spanning tree algorithm, the separation of the data center LAN and the SAN as well as the use of Ethernet on a best effort basis. However, trends such as the adoption of server virtualization are causing IT organizations to rethink every aspect of data center LAN design. The panelists on this session will be given an actual data center LAN and asked to redesign the LAN to support a highly virtual, dynamic data center. They will also be asked to explain why they are, or are not, recommending specific technologies.

11:30 AM – 12:30 PM InformationWeek Analytics - IT Automation: Bending the 80/20 Barrier Location: Mandalay Bay J IT faces increasing demands for business-enhancing services yet is saddled with static budgets and outsized operational loads, where 80% of the time, effort and dollars are spent on routine, “keep the lights on” activities, not service or application development. Automation is a key lever in budging this roadblock to innovation, but so too is effective use of service providers, whether external hosting facilities, cloud-based SaaS and IaaS, or third-party managed services. Our Analytics experts will share results of our survey and address some key questions: What areas are ripe for outsourcing? Where to automate internal IT processes? We’ll cover managing across multivendor, heterogeneous in-house/as-a-service systems, providing transparency to the business, and adhering to best-practices frameworks. We'll also examine the human equation -- how to transition IT staff from operational to business-focused tasks, how to increase collaboration both within the enterprise and with external service providers, and how to capture IT knowledge to create policies, SLAs and automation-friendly run books. Moderator - Art Wittmann, Vice President/Director, InformationWeek Analytics Art Wittmann currently serves as the director of InformationWeek Analytics, where he oversees both the business and content of InformationWeek's analyst business.
