When in 2007 a study on e-research in Flanders (Belgium) identified, among other things, the need for more support and infrastructure for grid and high-performance computing, the government established the Flemish Supercomputer Centre (VSC, see insert below). The VSC project brings together the five Flemish university associations to align and integrate their existing supercomputer infrastructure, to make their expertise available to the public and private funded research and to develop a competitive grid and HPC infrastructure available to all researchers in Flanders by 2010. The Flemish universities have been tuning their efforts since then to build a grid of super computers clustering the existing super computers on different locations and providing connectivity for the new supercomputer planned for 2010.
Arcadiz Telecom completes your switching or routing hardware with world’s only SFP+ for distances up to 70km in both colorless and CWDM colored interfaces. The hot pluggable SFP+s are SFP+ MSA with digital diagnostics and can be made compatible on all main hardware, inclusive Cisco, Juniper, Alcatel, Nortel,… and are certified on Brocade hardware. Our SFPs, SFP+ and XFPs are available in 16 CWDM wavelengths.
Migration planning
- Migration planning requires a strictly controlled process approach to reduce costs and risks.
When businesses merge or acquire new ones, enterprises undergo integration, consolidation and migration of WAN services and technologies. Or legacy networks no longer offer a growth potential or have become too costly to maintain or upgrade…
The migration of a network solution then must to be performed in a controlled and incremental manner to significantly reduce both costs and risks associated with the process. This involves providing assurances about network backup, recovery and security; reducing opportunities for error; eliminating repetitive processes, minimizing disruption to end users during the migration; and providing a framework for the ongoing training and maintenance that network migration requires.
Key steps in successful migration:
- Preparation
- Needs and impact analysis
- Migration planning and cost analysis
- Prioritization of migration tasks
- Pre-migration testing and preparation
- Migration and roll-out
- Post-migration training, support & maintenance
