Data centers everywhere are undergoing dramatic change, thanks to virtualization, cloud computing and the need to manage "big" data. Very often, the networks that support these data centers aren't keeping up with the complexity and scale, pushing the very limits of legacy network architectures and IT Operations.
Help is on the way, however, from a radically new model called Software Defined Networking, or SDN. A key path to SDN is the OpenFlow protocol, which uses software to virtualize and program networks, similar to how hypervisors enable server virtualization.
Cindy Borovick, Program Vice-President for Enterprise and Data Networks at International Data Corporation, will reveal research that explains the forces data centers are confronting and what should be done to improve network performance. She'll be joined by Don Clark, Director of Business Development at NEC and Stewart Raphael, Business Development Executive at IBM, System Networking division, in an interactive webcast hosted by Stan Gibson, award-winning technology journalist and Senior Managing Editor with the IDG Enterprise Custom Solutions Group. They will focus on how enterprises are deploying OpenFlow and using Software Defined Networking today to eliminate network complexity, increase business agility and maximize the return on their network and IT investment.

Traditional desktop application deployment and management is a time-consuming and costly endeavor for IT. From development to deployment, including help desk support, the entire lifecycle of applications consumes a significant portion of the IT budget. While many tools exist to help with each phase of the application lifecycle, managing desktop applications to production is still a heavy task for administrators.
By enabling enterprises to manage and deliver applications from a central source, VMware ThinApp™ streamlines application security, updates, patches and performance while delivering applications instantly to nearly any device. The result is significantly reduced application management costs of up to 60 percent.
