The beautiful city of Provo in Utah is the proud ‘owner’  of the Largest Private Municipal Fiber-Optic Network in the U.S. Well actually the city itself isn’t the owner; with the sale of the iProvo fiber Network to Broadweave, businesses in Provo can get broadband over fiber for excellent prices. Speeds are incremental starting with [...]

Introduction to iSCSI
As Ethernet begins to enter into the Storage world a new protocol has been getting a lot of attention. The Internet Small Computer Systems Interface or iSCSI, is an end-to-end protocol for transporting storage I/O block data over an IP network. The protocol is used on servers (initiators), storage devices (targets), and protocol transfer [...]

XAUI, the 10 Gigabit Attachment Unit Interface, is a technical innovation that dramatically improves and simplifies the routing of electrical interconnections. Developed by the IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet Task Force, XAUI delivers 10 Gb/s of data throughput using four differential signal pairs in each direction. Its compact nature and robust performance makes it ideal [...]

Gigabit ethernet is becomming more and more popular. The accelerating growth of LAN traffic is pushing network administrators to look to higher-speed network technologies to solve the bandwidth crunch. These administrators—who typically have either Ethernet or FDDI backbones today—have several alternatives to choose from. Although each network faces different issues, Gigabit Ethernet meets several key [...]

Ethernet technology is ubiquitous. More than 85 percent of all installed network connections were Ethernet by the end of 1997 according to IDC. This represents over 118 million interconnected PCs, workstations and servers. The remaining network connections are a combination of Token Ring, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and other protocols. [...]

The term net neutrality, unless you’re a tech geek, conjures up thoughts of fair trade, international policy or possibly anti-fishing zones. The root of this meaning, however, applies to all users of the internet whether that you’re an I.T. manager or the casual browser. To clarify the oft confusing technical jargon and slim it down [...]
