Ethernet Alliance Execs Outline Networking Roadmap


BEAVERTON, Ore., Dec. 5 – The Ethernet Alliance, a global consortium dedicated to the continued success and advancement of Ethernet technologies, today announced Chairman, John D’Ambrosia of Dell, and Marketing Committee Chair, Chauncey Schwartz of QLogic, will be featured speakers at the upcoming Large Installation System Administration Conference (LISA ’12). A technical educational conference and networking event for system administrators of all levels of expertise, LISA ’12 is scheduled for December 9 – 14, 2012 at San Diego, CA’s Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina.

“Ethernet is at the next critical junction in its lifecycle, particularly with the emergence of new applications like cloud computing and server virtualization, that could profoundly impact this essential technology,” said John D’Ambrosia, chairman, Ethernet Alliance, and chief Ethernet evangelist, CTO office, Dell. “Therefore, it’s important to understand the current conditions within the Ethernet ecosystem, as well as taking a forward-facing view of where we’ll be six months, a year, or even five years down the road.”

WHO: John D’Ambrosia, chairman, Ethernet Alliance, and chief Ethernet evangelist, CTO office, Dell, and Chauncey Schwartz, chair, Marketing Committee, Ethernet Alliance and senior technical marketing manager, QLogic, will jointly present “The Evolution of Ethernet.”

WHAT & WHEN: “The Evolution of Ethernet” will take place at 11:00am, Wednesday, December 12, 2012.

WHERE: Mr. D’Ambrosia and Mr. Schwartz will offer their combined presentation during the LISA ’12 conference at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina, San Diego, CA.

WHY ATTEND: LISA ‘12 attendees, Ethernet Alliance members, and members of the media are encouraged to join in the “The Evolution of Ethernet” session. The presentation will provide an overview on the current state of Ethernet standards, technology, and deployment, as well as a look at Ethernet’s continuing evolution, expansion, and advancement.

CometCloud: Using a Federated HPC-Cloud to Understand Fluid Flow in Microchannels

The ever-growing complexity of scientific and engineering problems continues to pose new computational challenges. Thus, we present a novel federation model that enables end-users with the ability to aggregate heterogeneous resource scale problems. The feasibility of this federation model has been proven, in the context of the UberCloud HPC Experiment, by gathering the most comprehensive information to date on the effects of pillars on microfluid channel flow.
