10GbE Cabling Webcast - 13 June 2012

Dennis Martin, President of Demartek, is a special guest on an Emulex webcast discussing 10GbE I/O connectivity. Customers today have a wide selection of servers, switches, adapters and storage for their traditional Storage Area Network environments, virtualization deployments and emerging cloud infrastructures. A critical piece to any data center is the cables making everything work together. With all the cable options available, it can be hard to know which apply to a given scenario. In this webcast, we will provide an overview of cable options, covering topics, such as:

• Copper versus fiber-optic cables
• Multi-mode versus single-mode
• Indoor versus outdoor
• Cat 6/6a use
• Connector options

Join us on June 13, 2012 at Noon Eastern time for an overview of 10GbE cabling options, learn when to use one cable versus another and walk away a cable expert yourself!
