Businesses are experiencing a growing demand to move high volumes of data both internally and externally. File transfer protocol (FTP) servers are proliferating among individual departments and raising traffic levels with customers and suppliers. This white paper explains and explores the opportunity and benefits of FTP consolidation. 

This white paper describes a virtualized infrastructure that applies storage and server virtualization technologies to cost-effectively achieve a flexible, high-performance, dynamic IT infrastructure that is simple to manage and scale. 

This document focuses on each level of security, starting at the server level and working our way down to database objects such as Server Security, Database Security, Schema Security and Object Security. 

Every routing protocol has some pros and cons and its own metric considerations. In this white paper, we will discuss Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), a Cisco-proprietary routing protocol. 

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a very complex routing protocol where the administrator can influence the route choice in more ways than with an interior gateway protocol. This white paper will provide you with a high level overview of interdomain routing with BGP. 

Ovum analyses data growth, big data, disk shortages, public cloud storage, flash memory, and other storage trends. 

In this white paper, we’ll discuss routing and routing protocols. Before we begin, let’s define what we mean by aroute. In common usage, a route is an entry in the IP routing table. 

This paper discusses how to defend against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and strengthen your security controls. A DDoS attack involves flooding a server with traffic until it becomes overloaded and can no longer function. 

The protocol utilized to transport data between servers and storage for High Performance Computing (HPC) and to define a Storage Area Network (SAN) is Fibre Channel(FC). Fibre Channel is an "invisible" protocol, because it is only known to the technicians that implement it and keep it working. This paper will provide an overview of this technology. 

Although Active Directory (AD) and Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) are very diverse systems owned by two completely separate companies, the use of AD for management of users in a CUCM system is a common consideration. Read this whitepaper to learn more. 

Gain insight into how Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIPv2) works and how you can best implement it. Though over the years IP-based networks have evolved and the need for RIP has declined, it's still used in small networks and in specific areas of larger networks. Review 10 simple rules that can help you deal with RIPv2 issues.
