Employees are increasingly accustomed to user-friendly, smart mobile devices and now expect the same fast, responsive and adaptive mobile experiences with their business applications. This has created a demand for highly interactive, efficient and easy-to-use business applications. Enterprises now need a network solution that delivers a high quality user experience for virtualized applications, and take full advantage of the cloud – spanning application-aware local area networks (LAN), optimized wide area networks (WAN) to cloud-ready data centers for small and mid-sized businesses, and multi-site private clouds for large enterprises.
What will attendees learn?
- The requirements for adapting corporate LAN, WAN and data center networks to meet the needs of new real time applications, virtualized workloads and delivering applications to a broad array of devices from a centralized and connect DC with an intelligent, interoperable L2-L7 network stack.
- How to overcome the challenges faced in the design and deployment of corporate networks due to server virtualization, and deployment of virtualized real-time applications such as Citrix XenDesktop.
- Best practices to reduce the total cost of ownership with a network tuned for the delivery of virtualized workloads and cloud services
- How the Alcatel Lucent Application Fluent Network and Citrix NetScaler deliver Layer 2-7 solutions designed to optimize network infrastructure for mobile workstyles and cloud services.
Who should attend?
- IT Managers responsible for setting strategy for the Data Center Networks
- Applications managers looking to deliver high quality time application delivery on a network that is tuned for their application virtualization platforms
- CIO’s looking to understand risk, benefits and a practical approach to optimizing the corporate network to support today’s mobile workstyles, desktop virtualization and cloud services.
