Virtualization
Geek Day is an excellent platform to explore the core technologies of Virtualization, including Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), server, storage and application virtualization tools, and solutions designed to decrease data center costs while improving performance, availability and provisioning times. Leaders in virtualization will present demos aimed at leveraging existing know how, as well as introducing products aimed at future challenges and opportunities.
Do you ever run into a situation when your network is melting down? Users are upset because their applications are not performing, but you do not know why or what is causing the issues? Are new mobile devices on the network changing the profile of bandwidth usage?
We are going to demonstrate Cisco's Application Visibility and Control (AVC) solution, available on ISR G2 and ASR 1000. This includes:
- Integrated Deep Packet Inspection (NBAR2) within IOS which recognizes over 1000+ applications such as YouTube, Netflix, WebEx, etc.
- A visual reporting tool to help you understand what applications are running across your network, their bandwidth, and the performance of those applications
- Accelerate troubleshooting by providing a break-down of the latency components in your application delivery path Improve the end-user experience by better managing application bandwidth usage, and stopping unwanted applications such as P2P from using your network resources
