An Introduction to IEEE 802.3az – Energy Efficient Ethernet
Energy/ Power conservation in Network devices has got a serious push with the introduction of IEEE 802.3az Standard, also called as Energy Efficient Ethernet. Let us learn more about what is IEEE 802.3az/ Energy Efficient Ethernet and how it can save power, in this article. »
WAN Virtualization, anyone?
WAN Virtualization is perhaps the next step to WAN link load balancing. Perhaps, some of the features mentioned here might be implemented by Application Delivery Controllers as well, but the concept behind the terminology - Considering all the WAN pipes as one big pipe and then routing the packets individually on the most appropriate... »
You need to know about Virtual Application Delivery Controllers
Well, looks like every device in the Data Center wants to be virtualized! So, the Application Delivery Controllers have also joined this trend. It is possible to sub-divide a large Application Delivery Controller into various independent (Virtual) Application Delivery Controllers to give differentiated services to individual applications and clients, using the same physical infrastructure.... »
What is a Content Delivery Network (CDN)?
A Content Delivery Network is a network of servers hosted by a service provider in multiple locations of the world (usually shared with multiple customers) so that the content could always be served from a server that is nearest to the consumer requesting for it.
