Think of a modern enterprise data center. There are likely hundreds of physical servers hosting thousands of VMs. Individual systems are connected via 10gbE links that likely feed 40gb cores.

New to CiscoLive? At some point we all were there. The mixture of emotions, of course, is different for everyone. For me? Crazy excitement coupled with a huge dose of adrenalin and fear. Why? Not only was Networkers 2006 going to be my first time ever going, I was going to be presenting.
