Follow the light from the core to the edge, JDN..... 5/8/2000 .......At Networld+Interop, EMC demonstrates high-speed movement of information across the latest word in the explosion of bandwidth, Nortel Networks' Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) platform. Using EMC's SRDF software over high-bandwidth optical networks means that the "death of distance" has arrived for IT infrastructures. In effect, with the Storewidth work done by EMC and leading networking vendors, enterprise storage ceases being a physical entity. It's a virtual information pool accessible and manageable across the street or across the continent. Real-time data movement between geographically dispersed data centers becomes a reality, facilitating better allocation of workloads in response to surging and shifting demand. What's more, the intelligence of enterprise storage helps eliminate the logjams created when too much traffic overwhelms servers........ emc.com 5/9/2000 ...........Following extensive interoperability testing, the Nortel Networks OPTera Metro Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) platform is compatible with EMC's Symmetrix Enterprise Storage systems, extending the capabilities of Fibre Channel from the data center to a geographically dispersed metropolitan area........ emc.com 6/29/2000 JOINT EMC-NORTEL WHITE PAPER ABSTRACT Optically interconnected storage is the new building block of the high performance Internet. Storage Systems and Optical Internet technologies will be optimized and managed as a complete system. This building block will enable a new class of Optical Data Centers focused on meeting the needs of Internet-based transactions, content hosting delivery systems, enterprise data storage, and wireless personal portals. The advent of optically distributed storage will make geographically distant resources seem close at hand. This will radically change planning assumptions for Internet service providers and enterprise data architects. emc.com 7/28/2000 .........In combination with Alteon, Nortel said it can now build next-generation Internet data centers -- massive compounds of powerful communications gear such as servers, routers and storage -- that are used to host Web sites or applications that run Internet commerce, trading and businesses...... ....San Jose, California-based Alteon develops switches that use sophisticated traffic control techniques to speed up the servers that feed data into networks and Web sites. ``This takes all the stop lights and pretty well turns them green,'' said Chandran. dailynews.yahoo.com EMC's relationships with Cisco (ECOstructure) and Lucent (CyberCarrier) are also worth following. Just yesterday, Cisco bought NuSpeed, a pre-revenue startup that links storage networks to communications networks. By most accounts, Lucent trails Nortel's OPTera platform but they lead Nortel in Alteon-like load balancing technology.
