Media Alert: Ethernet Alliance Hosts Chinese-Language Webinar Addressing Multi-Tenancy and Virtualization Architecture Challenges
Jan. 13, 2013 08:00 PM
The Ethernet
Alliance, a global consortium dedicated to the continued success and
advancement of Ethernet technologies, today announced registration is
now open for its first Chinese-language webinar hosted in China at http://www.cnw.com.cn/bjjt/.
Slated for Wednesday, January 16 at 14:00 (GMT+8), the “Ethernet 311:
Plumbing for Clouds: Overlay Protocols for Multi-Tenancy” webinar will
be presented in Chinese.
The Ethernet Alliance’s Plumbing for Clouds webinar highlights
multi-tenancy and virtualization challenges in cloud computing.
Addressing China’s rapidly growing population of technology-centric
enterprises and end users, the session discusses multiple hypervisor
solutions including VxLAN and NVGRE, and examines ongoing and emerging
standardization efforts. Among discussion topics to be covered are
network problems associated with multi-tenancy, available pre-standard
solutions, and the applicability of IEEE 802.1 bridging standards in
multi-tenancy settings.
WHY ATTEND: Webinar participants will explore an array of
subjects, such as:
-
Problems and obstacles relating to multi-tenancy and virtualization
-
Pre-standard solutions currently available for deployment like VxLAN
and NVGRE
-
Ongoing standardization efforts by IETF, IEEE, and other SDOs
-
Applicability of IEEE 802.1 and 802.3 standards, and possible
extensions
“Creating data centers allowing multiple tenants to share physical
resources facilitates greater efficiency, however, it also gives rise to
new challenges like how to effectively allocate and interconnect these
mutual resources,” said Manoj Wadekar, chief technologist, QLogic, and
technical chair Ethernet Alliance. “By delivering an in-depth look at
these hurdles and their potential remedies, the Ethernet Alliance aims
to arm those individuals and organizations tasked with implementing
multi-tenant solutions with the information and answers needed to
succeed.”
Hosted by the Ethernet Alliance, Mr. Bruce Bateman, Networking
Evangelist APJ, Dell, Inc., will present the Plumbing for Clouds
webinar, originally delivered in North America in August 2012. Mr.
Bateman has a wealth of practical experience in nearly every aspect of
IT. In his role at Dell, Bruce helps customers understand emerging
technologies like Cloud, Big Data, Software Defined Networking/OpenFlow,
Virtualization, advanced data center design, and network architectures
such as Distributed Core.
WHEN: The Ethernet Alliance webinar Plumbing for Clouds: Overlay
Protocols for Multi-Tenancy will be presented on January 16 and is free
of charge. The webinar will also be archived for on-demand viewing at
