Nortel continues the enterprise fight Even though it filed Chapter 11 and is reportedly looking to sell off huge chunks of its business, Nortel is not giving up the enterprise fight. Adtran unveils Layer 3 switches Adtran’s first Layer 3 gigabit devices complement its NetVanta Layer 2 workgroup switches. Gigabit Ethernet switches from BLADE on tap at Interop BLADE Network Technologies will unveil at Interop next week a set of products that includes an “FCoE-ready” 10 Gigabit Ethernet blade server switch with 100 Gig Ethernet of uplink capacity and a virtualization offering that the company says supports more than 1,000 virtual ports. The 100G is achieved by bonding 10 10G Ethernet links, BLADE says. The network really is the platform In our last newsletter we discussed the fact that the Vegas Interop conference is notably less focused on networking than it used to be and that naive people can interpret that to mean that networking is less important. We don't agree with that interpretation and will use this WAN newsletter to discuss a few sessions that Jim will moderate at Interop that highlight just how critical networking really is. |
