	Physical Layer management in 10G to 40G/100G Ethernet migration   The ability to migrate from 10G to 40G or 100G Ethernet (GbE) hinges on knowing the particulars about your data center backbone. If you don't know the length of the circuit, connector style (LC, 12 or 24 fiber MPO) or the fiber type (OM2, OM3, OM4, SM, etc.), you don't know if it will support the higher speeds. While this type of information is rarely collected, Physical Layer Management (PLM) systems can fill in the blanks.

If vulnerability disclosures continue at the same rate, the number of flaws reported in 2014 will fall under 8,000, several hundred less than in each of the previous two years, the team said in a report released this week.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More   VMware calls new "hyper-converged" system a building block for software-defined data centers SAN FRANCISCO – VMware this week unveiled at its VMworld event the first in a family of "hyper-converged" systems, a product called EVO:RAIL that it says will help customers build software-defined data centers.
