The Gorilla Guide to Converged Infrastructure

January 7, 2020

Discover the Power of Converged Infrastructure and learn how Converged and Hyperconverged Infrastructure Compare and Contrast. The more automated the delivery of the right storage to the right data, and the delivery of the right protection, preservation and privacy services to the right data, the more appropriate the infrastructure option is. This was supposedly what the storage vendors were working on when the SAN world was disrupted by the virtual server crowd. Converged Infrastructure is intent on returning us to that course. The purpose of this guide is to provide the IT planner or server administrator with background information that will assist them as they consider alternatives for hosting their mission-critical workloads and their data.

Best Modern Practices for Cable Field Testing and Troubleshooting

whitePaper | September 30, 2022

To ensure both the cabling system and installation workmanship meet high-quality standards, cabling should be tested according to industry standards, such as international ISO/IEC, TIA (used in the Americas and some parts of Europe), or other regional standards. However, testing and configuration complexity, including testing parameters and new link models, can introduce challenges for field operators in obtaining warranty certification.

Advancing the 5G Era Benefits and Opportunity of 5G-Advanced

whitePaper | September 20, 2022

This document focuses primarily on 3GPP Rel-18 - the inaugural release of 5G-Advanced. Initial work on Rel-18 in 3GPP started in 2022 (just before the finalisation of Rel-17), targeting commercialisation from 2024 onwards. As it evolves, 5G-Advanced will play an important role bridging from 5G to 6G with new features previously not standardised in 3GPP
