VOIP & CONVERGENCE RESOURCES

Best Practices for HP Servers and HP Enterprise Virtual Array in a Microsoft Exchange
The Customer Focused Teating team at HP previously published the Best practices for HP servers and HP StorageWorks EVA8000 in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 environment paper, which presented the results of testing a user environment of 5,000 users with both 100-MB and 1-GB mailboxes. This paper builds upon those results by demonstrating the actual effects of a larger enterprise environment of 20,000 users with 1-GB mailboxes. This paper provides technical information and best practices for sizing and configuring Exchange Server 2007 on HP server blades with HP EVA storage arrays for the 20,000-user environment.

Determining the cause of poor application performance
Are users constantly complaining that your network is too slow? Or that they can't connect or can't stay connected? Are network applications hanging and slowing productivity? Do you spend way too much time trying to isolate the source of the problem and to prove that often the issue isn't the network at all but the application? In this on demand webcast, learn best practices and common root causes of application problems using case studies and live network traffic.

Wireless Site Survey Best Practices
As wireless technology continues to mature, new wireless applications and appliances continue to emerge. There is increasing demand for transmitting voice and video, as well as the need for accurate positioning of users and assets accessing the WLAN. Site surveys are invaluable for designing and optimizing WLAN networks to support these applications. This paper provides insight into best practices for executing wireless site surveys.

Troubleshooting Remote Site Networks - Best Practices
Management and remote site employees expect the same level of network service as the headquarters site. However, when IT staff are faced with limited resources to support remote site networks, often the applications, services and performance at those sites is not as robust as the headquarters site. See how to deliver a high level of network service at remote sites using the best practices outlined in this white paper.

Monitor the core and troubleshoot the access layer with integrated network analysis solutions
Network change is constant. New technologies and applications require infrastructure changes and affect performance. In this constant state of change, you need to deliver a high level of network performance and quickly solve problems. In this white paper, you'll learn how to plan for new application deployment, manage against internal security threats, diagnose network problems, prove it's not the network, and analyze application problems.

Locating rogue wireless access points
An unauthorized, rogue access point can compromise the security of a wireless network by exposing the company's network to the outside world. To remove this security vulnerability, the network manager must first detect the presence of a rogue AP on his network and then locate it. The two most common search methods to find the physical location of a rogue AP are the convergence method and the vector method. Each method has its advantages and each requires different tools. An understanding of these methods will assist the network manager in his task of keeping his wireless network secure.

Super-size your LAN with fiber
Fiber optic technology frees the Local Area Network (LAN) from the confines of a single building, allowing a LAN to extend across a campus or a metropolitan area. Read how the selection of fiber optic components affects repeaterless transmission distance and how one school district used fiber to build a more reliable and more cost effective high-speed, district-wide network. Also, read how Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) ownership may require self-assessment of network performance.
