Here's how and why -- ONLY in Dark Reading's March 28th Digital Supplement

- FCoTR To Take Over The World
By Howard Marks
Leading market research firm The D'Plata Group today released their sesquicentennial report on the future of data center networking. One surprising prediction in the report was that the still experimental Fibre Channel over Token Ring protocol will become the dominant data center storage protocol in 2020. The report uses the now familiar hockey stick shaped graph to indicate that FCoTR sales will start small in 2012 but will grow exponentially, exceeding Fibre Channel and FCoE in market share in 2020. By 2030 FCoTR will have 99.44% market share for SAN interconnects.

- Airesham Redefines Wireless Convergence
By Lee H. Badman
Been in IT long, Sailor? Anyone who has spent any time at all in the last decade is familiar with at least a few different variations of the concept of convergence. Whether we're talking about Voice over IP, streaming video, or how the low-voltage world of fire and security systems are migrating to the IP network, convergence has been all around us for so long that we hardly notice it anymore. But now WLAN startup Airesham is redefining convergence, as an exciting and strange new breed of Wi-Fi access points brings a most bewildering mix of functionality to the Enterprise wireless space.

- It's World Backup Day
By Howard Marks
Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages, today has been declared World Backup Day in order to bring attention to the fact that many of the computers we rely on in our daily lives are not backed up. Since I spend an inordinate amount of my time writing, lecturing and consulting with people about their backup architectures, I'm celebrating World Backup Day and I hope you are too.
