In an effort to reduce costs and streamline operations, today's large, distributed organizations are investing more in data center transformation, consolidation, and server virtualization. And yet many IT consolidation projects suffer from poor planning and implementation issues that ultimately impact application performance and user productivity. This technology brief investigates the processes and tools that are needed to provide complete enterprise visibility and WAN acceleration for high-priority traffic.

With things like the SIP communications standard and recommended bandwidth and Quality of Service (QoS) measurements for IP networks, organizations can establish an effective baseline for their VoIP solution deployment - and for the best possible system and network performance once their solution is in place.

As consumers are constantly bombarded with messages that their online security is threatened, they can be hesitant to trust any kind of online transaction. If online transactions are your goal, the solution is to add trust signals to your Web site, such as those outlined in this white paper.

The Internet offers tremendous opportunities for today's businesses, but with that potential comes security risks. From the proliferation of malware, blended attacks, phishing, and spyware contained in Web, FTP, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and e-mail traffic, security threats increase along with growth opportunities. Combining Brocade’s high-performance infrastructure and McAfee’s Web gateway solution ensures that organizations have the secure and trusted environments they demand. Learn More.

Many organizations look to Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) to provide greater business agility in the face of evolving business requirements and complex, heterogeneous information technology (IT) environments. To achieve this agility, architects implement a Services abstraction that loosely couples business Services from the underlying implementations of those Services. Building such an abstraction layer is not without risks, however—inherent in building such an abstraction is the risk of sacrificing performance and scalability to achieve the organization’s required agility.

Just when you thought that MPLS has peaked, that the pace of innovation has slowed, and that MPLS is getting boring, two promising new developments-namely "MPLS in the access" and "seamless MPLS"-bring fresh excitement to service provider networks. "MPLS in the access" is evolutionary, but a necessary prerequisite to "seamless MPLS", which has the potential to revolutionize the life cycle of service offerings.

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.

This paper is intended for people who will be proposing solutions, providing installation services or consulting, and who may be assisting in deploying Office SharePoint Server 2007 solutions accessed over a Wide Area Network (WAN).
