Enterprise users and their data have never been further apart. Business pressures that keep employees out of headquarters and close to customers and partners have met head-on with other drivers that are bringing far flung servers back to the datacenter. 

The data center has evolved, and so have the requirements placed on the network. Read this Pocket E-Guide to find out what you need to do to respond to these evolving changes. 

The proliferation of user-generated content and video sharing sites has made for a constant source of new material. However, the bandwidth demands of such media often congest WAN links. One approach is to just block flash video. This technical brief presents an alternate approach that can allow video and business critical applications to co-exist. 

It may be surprising to some that Cisco routers run many services that could create vulnerabilities. This paper is meant to be a vehicle for discussion regarding the security of Cisco routers. Additionally, some best practices for securing your Cisco routers are defined. 

Traffic between datacenters is growing at an accelerating rate. As throughput expands, the rate at which costs increase rises as well. A WAN optimization solution can help get backups and database synchronizations completed on time - without hurting VoIP or internet backhaul. Read on to learn more. 

As more IT professionals are turning to application & server consolidation, costs and the importance of performance is growing. This white paper takes a look at acceleration technologies - the challenges, benefits, and techniques of this alternative. 

This white paper reviews past and present technologies including a discussion of circuits and packets and also compares WLAN and WWAN networks in terms of advantages, challenges, and issues to consider when considering a wireless solution. 

The purpose of data deduplication is to increase the amount of information that can be stored on disk arrays and to increase the effective amount of data that can be transmitted over networks. Read this white paper to learn more about data deduplication as well as Quantum Dxi-Series disk-based backup solutions. 

Data de-duplication eliminates redundant data, saving valuable storage space, also it may be deployed via hardware- or software-based approaches-each having advantages and trade-offs. 

On today's converged networks -- where data traffic competes with latency-sensitive applications such as VoIP, video conferencing, and virtual machines -- only the greediest survive and thrive. Watch this webinar to learn about bandwidth issues, network resource allocation, and real-time applications management. 

In this whitepaper you will learn about the evolution of Ethernet, the reasons VLANs were introduced, and the ways that VLANs can be used. 

This paper sets out a framework for deciding on and implementing on-demand ERP within enterprises.. It examines key concerns such as data integrity in enterprise systems, maintaining compliance and ensuring proper process management, as well as discussing new skills and approaches to help maximize returns on investment.
