    SearchNetworking.co.UK's tutorials provide in-depth resources on networking, mobile, and telecommunications technology and strategy in the UK. Core coverage areas include network design and administration, data centre networking, mobile enterprise pl...  Tutorial

  • Data centre interconnect using VPLS

    Virtual private LAN services offer an alternative to traditional WAN links and solve enterprise data centre interconnect problems. VPLS also opens the door to new data centre network management strategies.  Primer

  • I/O virtualisation and converged I/O: Understanding the basics

    I/O virtualisation and converged I/O are crucial to enabling converged data centre networks and avoiding the bottlenecking that arises in virtualised environments. In this primer, learn about I/O virtualisation appliances and software, as well as str...  Primer

  • 10 Gigabit Ethernet tutorial: Connecting data centres, storage, LAN and beyond

    As IT teams build 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks, they'll have to choose the right 10 Gigabit Ethernet cabling and components in order to ensure data centre optimisation and prevent latency in the network. They'll also need to be sure their networks ar...  Tutorial

  • Unified data centre fabric primer: FCoE and data centre bridging

    Unified data centre fabrics combine FCoE and data centre bridging to enable SAN and LAN traffic to run on the same physical network, simplifying network architecture and resulting in savings. This unified data centre fabric primer runs down the basic...  Primer

  • Can VXLAN and NVGRE solve your cloud network VLAN shortage?

    Both VXLAN and NVGRE offer encapsulation methods that create thousands more VLANs in heavily virtualised environments and extend subnets over Layers 2 and 3. Do either work?  Tip

  • Virtualisation management requires planning

    Virtualisation management is becoming a requirement for network managers to keep applications and networked systems running smoothly. That requires understanding the goals of your virtualisation project and prior performance baselines.  Tip

  • How to optimise Ethernet for data centre networks

    It will take time for super-fast data centre Ethernet technologies to evolve, so managers of data centre networks must optimise existing Ethernet through a series of strategies that range from choosing very large switches to isolating storage network...  Tip

About Storage and Data Centre Networks

Read the latest about data centre network and storage network design. Here you can learn about design considerations for data centre infrastructure, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet. You'll also find resources on new methods of converging data centre networks and storage networks with Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and new protocols, such as data centre bridging (DCB) and TRILL. Also learn about improving iSCSI performance, running Infiniband in an Ethernet environment, and using converged and virtualised I/O for traffic convergence in UK storage networks.
