would be an interesting webinar:
Dear Colleague,
You may be interested to know about a free online event soon to be presented by Byte and Switch (www.byteandswitch.com), the Storage Networking Site.
This Web-based seminar - "Storage Over Sonet: Going the Distance" - will evaluate the latest important developments in the storage networking market.
Until recently, companies that have needed to extend SANs over long distances were stuck with one option: encapsulating Fibre Channel into IP. It works, sure. But that step introduces disastrous performance issues like latency and jitter - which can be absolute showstoppers for storage applications that must quickly transfer multiple terabytes of data. What's more, IP doesn't offer inherent performance monitoring, quality of service, or connection failover capabilities, making service-level agreements extremely difficult to track, much less enforce.
The answer? A new twist on an optical service that enterprises have been relying on for years: Storage over Sonet/SDH.
Optical networking platform vendors are now adding native Fibre Channel interfaces for Sonet, combining the best of both worlds with a solution that provides the ability to extend SANs literally thousands of kilometers with reliable performance characteristics, as well as flexible, high-speed bandwidth options.
Join us on Wednesday, October 22, at 2:00 p.m. New York / 7:00 p.m. London time, for this live Webinar sponsored by LightSand.
