  • The impact of cloud computing and virtualisation on the network
    With technologies like cloud computing and virtualisation becoming more prevalent, the network is coming under greater pressure than ever before. Despite these demands, the network is not getting the attention it deserves. Graham Schultz, Regional Director of ANZ at Brocade, explains.
  • Carrier ethernet becomes a de facto standard for the cloud
    Interest in metro and carrier ethernet is growing across the Asia Pacific region. Similarly, customers around the globe are looking to the cloud as a way to tackle their IT delivery. Merri Mack reports on the intersection of these two trends: the delivery of cloud services over carrier ethernet.
