With the proliferation of smartphones and tablets on the internal wireless networks, and the necessity of keeping the data network and application servers running so everyone can [...]

The Cisco Nexus core switching system is taking the datacenter by storm, and there are good reasons why IT professionals are making it the heart of their server and storage systems. The transition to densely virtualized servers with rapid access to shared storage has coincided with the ready availability of 10G Ethernet ports on servers, [...]

One of the systems that gets overlooked in almost every Voice over IP (VoIP) phone system design is the Uninterrupable Power Supply (UPS) in the access layer closets.
