The Netcoms Show preview Seminars
Wednesday 13th October 2010 10:30am
Automating Physical Infrastructure Documentation David Cuthbertson of AssetGen
Maintaining operational documentation of physical infrastructure, such as cabling and power, is often compromised by lack of standards, processes and understanding across teams. This seminar will look at practical methods of using automation techniques to reduce the numbers of spreadsheets and diagrams needed for managing critical infrastructure. Examples will cover power, space, connectivity and risk.
11:15am
Optical Fibre for 40/100GbE in the Data Centre: Singlemode or Multimode? Mike Gilmore of e-Ready Building
As the IEEE completes 802.3ba - Standards for 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s Ethernet, data centre planners are evaluating the different physical layer choices available to them. While a singlemode infrastructure will have a lower installed cost, the lower cost of multimode transmission equipment will more than balance the cost equation. However, the selection of multimode technology produces a new concept to many - that of parallel optics and associated connecting hardware - this has to be factored into the decision making process.
12:00pm
Network Video – Opportunities and Applications Andrew Percival of Mayflex
A thought provoking overview of the oppor tunities available to IP integrators, consultancies, network, security and facilities managers through the proliferation of network based video devices. Following an overview of the network video market, an alternative view will be presented on how products can be used in a range of applications to protect assets, improve productivity, increase business revenues, reduce management costs and increase uptime. Finally, some common myths relating to network video will be dismissed.
18 1:30pm
Power over Ethernet – The Hidden Depths David Stefanowicz of ECA-ITEC
Power over Ethernet (IEE 802.3at) offers great opportunities for changing the way we work. However, the use of cabling designed to transmit signal data to deliver power raises a number of concerns which have only been partially addressed in the development of the standards - this presentation explains these concerns. In addition, this seminar highlights the risk of using non-PoE plus implementations of power over structured cabling.
2:15pm Cost reduced infrastructures – The Future? Mike Daly (HSBC Group) of TIA-B
The combined impacts of IP convergence, Power over Ethernet and the growth of wireless applications present significant opportunities for building owners and infrastructure designers to re-consider our future telecommunications solutions. These analyses may have consequences for many aspects of our industry − including both information technology and electrical cabling installers. This presentation seeks to highlight the possible developments and prepare the industry as the difficult decisions are made. This is essentially the key-note seminar of the event and it will be followed by a debate drawing on the expertise of a wide range of telecommunications industry leaders.
12:45pm Layer Zero: Your Network Revolution Roberto Sortino of Ortronics
The importance of the Physical Layer and supporting infrastructure should not be a revelation! The OSI Networking model provides a road map for successful inter-networking communications, assuring support for the increasing number of applications now running over an IP network, such as Voice over IP, security and building automation. The lowest layer of the OSI Networking model,
Layer 1, defines the cable or physical medium as the platform for information transport. What Layer One does not include is the physical support infrastructure for those cables. Layer Zero introduces a new level of stability
to the network by addressing the critical role that physical support plays in network performance. This seminar will study key applications found in data centre and LAN environments and show how a well designed Layer Zero foundation can reduce power consumption and cooling costs, reduce the risk of equipment failure and enhance overall system performance.
