BLADE Network Technologies Delivers Four Presentations at HP Technology Forum & Expo
June 16-19, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada
Santa Clara, Calif., June 18, 2008—BLADE Network Technologies, Inc.
(BLADE), the industry leader in network virtualization and high-performance solutions for servers and storage, announced that it is presenting four sessions at the 2008 HP Technology Forum & Expo, the biggest HP event of the year. The HP Technology Forum & Expo is June 16-19 at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, Nevada.
BLADE’s
presentations provide insight on the use of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and include best practices for next generation data centers.
-
HP BladeSystem 10G Ethernet and VMware Virtual Switch Optimization and Best Practices.
Glenn Church,
Senior Sales Network Architect,
BLADE Network Technologies.
This session will expand the possibilities of 10G Ethernet VMware switch consolidation and optimization while preserving the best practices VMware built on 1G Ethernet implementations.
-
Configuring the HP BladeSystem GbE2c & 10Gb BL-c Ethernet Switches for Interoperability and Availability.
Dan Grubich,
Vice President, Sales Network Architects, North America,
and
Richard Jessop,
Senior Sales Network Architect,

This session is targeted at the IT professional who will integrate the HP GbE2c & BL-c Ethernet Interconnects for the HP BladeSystem c-Class into a multi-vendor networking environment, including Cisco, HP ProCurve and others. Common networking architectures as well as designs that will improve network reliability will be reviewed and practiced.
-
10G Ethernet: Networking the Next-Generation Data Center.
Graham Smith,
Director, Product Management,
BLADE Network Technologies.
10 Gigabit Ethernet will be the next proving ground in the data center. As per-port prices drop, 10G Ethernet will increasingly be deployed to overcome data center bottlenecks for bandwidth-intensive applications such as high-performance computing, business continuity, virtualization, video on demand, iSCSI & NAS storage, video surveillance and voice over IP. This session will explore the outlook for 10G Ethernet as a unifying fabric in the next-generation data center, providing guidelines for how to implement 10G Ethernet switching in the HP BladeSystem c-Class and to create advanced network topologies that employ 10G Ethernet networking directly to and from each blade in the server.
-
HP BladeSystem 10G Ethernet and VMware Virtual Switch Hands on Lab.
Richard Jessop,
Senior Sales Network Architect,
and
Glenn Church,
Senior Sales Network Architect,
BLADE Network Technologies.
Participants will have an overview of the capabilities of 10G VMware solutions and 10G Ethernet Technologies available in the HP c-Class BladeSystem. Participants will have hands-on experience configure 10G physical and VMware virtual switches. Session content will provide enough information for a participant to create a proof of concept (POC) based on 10G HP c-Class BladeSystem technology and VMware ESX 3.5.X server
