Hot from Interop Las Vegas: Set free your inner BYOD

By Christine Sto-Domingo, Enterprise Group Event Strategist, HP Networking

 

I finally got a second to catch my breath here at Interop Las Vegas 2015, so I thought I?d pass along some first impressions! Highlight of the show for me so far is a great panel discussion yesterday titled ?What We Really Mean When We Talk About BYOD?. Michael Dickman, HP Networking?s VP, Global Product Line Management for Campus, Branch and Small Business was on the panel along with execs from Cisco and Citrix.

Instant troubleshooting powered by new HP SDN App

by Newsha Sharifzadeh, Global Product Marketing Manager, HP Networking

 

At Interop Las Vegas this week, HP has announced a big step forward in the Software-defined Networking revolution: a brand new SDN offering called HP Network Visualizer SDN Application. It?s an exciting and innovative application that lets you easily monitor traffic on your entire network with detailed visibility, eliminating the need to use expensive overlay appliances and probes to examine each port individually via manual, time-intensive processes.

 

With HP Network Visualizer, you can leverage the centralized control that SDN delivers to view all of the switches around the network in real time. If there?s an issue at any point, you can pinpoint exactly where the problem lies.

HP announces 5400R v3 switch to satisfy businesses? hunger for mobility

By Sue Gillespie, Global Product Marketing Manager, HP Networking

 

As the use of mobile devices increases in the workplace, so do the demands on your network. These devices require the same set of network services, and in some cases more services, than our traditional stationary desktops. Add to that the increased bandwidth demands of applications like voice, video and collaboration tools ? and let?s just say it?s enough to keep CIOs and network administrators burning the midnight oil.

 

Keeping your network operating at a level that fully supports productivity and business advantage is a full-time challenge. At HP we?ve been working to help you meet that challenge through our campus networking line of products and solutions. We?re excited about our latest product announcement in this area, one that we think represents another giant step forward.

 

The HP 5400R Switch Series has already won accolades, and today we expanded this line with the introduction of ten new v3 switching modules.

A big milestone on the road to the mobile-ready workplace

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

 

Gladys Alegre Kimura.jpgIs the bring-your-own-device crisis finally over? I almost wanted to say ?the war on BYOD,? and that might not have been overstating it, given the defensive posture that many IT organizations adopted in the early stages of the great shift to mobility. Things have moved on, though, as businesses have realized the tremendous gains in productivity that are there for the taking with a well thought-out strategy. Forward-looking network leaders are embracing BYOD and thinking in terms of wireless-first. They?re looking down the road toward the next set of challenges (like the coming wave of wearables ? see my previous blog), and they?re investigating the many advantages of Software-defined Networking (SDN).

 

New HP offerings, announced today at Interop, will enable companies to take a huge step forward on the road to the mobile-centric enterprise.

CLI jockey no more! How the shift to the customer-centric network will change your work

By Rob Haviland, Senior Manager, Global Technical Marketing, HP Networking

 

ROB HEADSHOT DIRECTORY WORKS.JPGHere?s an interesting thought: With the rise of Software-defined Networking, single-point management of wired/wireless networks, and services-focused networking, for many of us the days of being a CLI jockey may be nearing an end.

Get to know the HP SDN App Store at Interop

By Hamid Lalani, HP SDN GPLM

 

Hamid Lalani.jpgWe?ve heard a lot about the ?consumerization of IT? for the past few years; I believe what we?re seeing now is that even enterprise networking is manifesting that trend. Our past few quarters of experience with the HP SDN App Store is a proof point of this distinct trend. As I noted in an earlier post to this blog, we?ve now moved beyond discussions of the definition of SDN and questions about its value, and we?re at the point where it?s poised for customer adoption. Customers are now downloading SDN apps and solving real-world IT problems. In some ways you can?t ignore the similarity with the consumer mobile revolution of downloading apps for the last handful of years.

Why your wireless-first network needs smart wired infrastructure

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

 

Gladys Alegre Kimura.jpgMobility 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.

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

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

By Srujan Sama, SDN Product Marketing Manager, HP Networking

 

Srujan Sama.pngWe?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.

Network Disaggregation: It's about business, not boxes

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

 

Ahmed Zamer.pngAfter being frozen in time for long years, the networking industry is now seeing sweeping changes that will shape the future of data center networking. In particular, the emergence of web-scale IT has given birth to one of the most exciting trends in networking: network disaggregation.
