Why your wireless-first network needs smart wired infrastructure

By Gladys Alegre-Kimura, Global Product Marketing Manager, HP Networking

 

Mobility and business have become inseparable, transforming the way work gets done. Employees demand unlimited device choice and access, forcing IT to support a variety of hardware and operating systems. Many employees are using two or more devices every day, including desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets, and increasingly they?re using bandwidth-intensive rich media applications. The network is groaning under the pressure.

 

With the Apple watch and other wearables now arriving on the scene, the number of devices attempting to connect to the network will rise still further, exacerbating the problem and eventually degrading user experience.

Drive your data center into high gear with HP LAN/SAN

By Ahmad Zamer, Sr. Global Product Marketing Manager, HP Networking

 

Ahmed Zamer.pngJust a few more days before Interop 2015 gets underway in Las Vegas, and as is my usual custom this time of the year, I?m preparing to talk about one of the new trends in technology: LAN/SAN convergence and what it can do for your data center. I will be delving into this topic at one of the popular HP theater booth sessions; I?m scheduled at the HP Booth, #1527, for 2:30-2:45 p.m. on Wednesday.

 

Let me give you a brief preview, especially in terms of describing the benefits of this new trend...

Is there a ?killer app? for Software-defined Networking?

By Srujan Sama, SDN Product Marketing Manager, HP Networking

 

We?ve seen some discussion in networking forums about what could count as the ?killer app? for Software-defined Networking ? i.e., what would be the one application that drives it into the mainstream, much as word processing did for the personal computer back in the eighties? NetworkComputing?s Richard Kagan suggested that it might be Big Data here. Others have pointed to unified communication and collaboration tools like Microsoft Lync (Ron Irvine makes a good case for Lync with SDN here).

 

Thinking in terms of killer apps is a valid way to look at SDN. At the same time, it?s also a good idea to look more broadly at what SDN can do for today?s networks.

What if you could provision new networks in minutes instead of hours or days?

by John Gray, Data Center Marketing Lead, HP Networking

 

John Gray.pngYou can probably spin up virtual machines at the drop of a hat using simple software configuration tools. But when it comes to your network, changes require reconfiguring switches, routers and firewalls. Config files are complex, and a single configuration error can damage your entire network. Managing your network becomes a bottleneck. But what if you could spin up a network the same way you spin up a VM, using software tools that manage the network configuration for you?

Berger Health System says goodbye to Cisco, hi to future-proof networking

Mary Gabra.jpgBy Mary Gabra, Senior Global Manager, Customer Excellence

 

One good sign that a health organization ? or any organization, for that matter ? is functioning well is that its staff are happy with the tools they rely on. Take Berger Health System, for example. ?Our nurses are happy, and that?s a good thing for everyone,? says Andy Chileski, CIO, talking about Berger?s network infrastructure and its transition from Cisco to HP Networking. ?They know they?re spending less time waiting for applications and data, so they can be more responsive to patient needs.?

Yes, your Cisco network will work just fine with HP gear: here?s the proof

By John Gray, Data Center Marketing Lead, HP Networking

 

John Gray.pngOne thing that I often come across when I?m out there talking to network leaders is the idea that you can?t slot HP gear into a Cisco-based data center network without causing problems. I?ve always argued that, given the bedrock reality of HP?s commitment to open standards and interoperability, this is just a misperception. And now I can share some new research that should dispel that idea for good.John Gray Cisco.png

School district gives HP Software-defined Networking solution an A+

As SDN gains traction and the use cases multiply, more and more organizations are proving that it's every bit as powerful as its advocates claim. I came across a great example in this recent NetworkWorld article: School district gets an HP SDN makeover to address wireless growth, security problems (requires free registration for the complete article).

Blueprint for a simplified, unified network: an architecture guide for HP Converged Campus

Nobody could accuse networking of lack of innovation these days. The challenge today is to integrate and manage a host of new bandwidth-hungry technologies like BYOD, universal communication and collaboration, cloud drive downloads, and the new 802.11ac wireless standards.

 

The way forward is a simpler, unified network. For an overview of what that would look like, check out our Architecture Guide: Designing the HP Converged Campus Network
