SOLUTION IN FOCUS: 10 Gigabit (10G) Network Analysis

ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATES® (EMA™) research found that nearly half of organizations have made the transition to 10G. This means you've probably already adopted and deployed or soon will be.

To get you started taming your 10G traffic, check out these two resources:

• EMA's Taming 10G: Network Performance Management for High Speed Networks report examines why managing 10G data volumes can be challenging. They cover the impact 10G will have on network management tools and technologies and the options available for making the transition to successfully monitoring today's high-speed 10G Ethernet networks.
• In the The Need for Speed - No More Compromises! webinar, Jim Frey, Research Director at EMA, discusses EMA's recent research and report, and Jay Botelho, Director of Product Management at WildPackets, demonstrates how TimeLine network recorder can be used to efficiently manage and analyze 10G networks.
