    Public Safety, Interoperability and the Transition to Digital Television

    Order Code RL32622 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Public Safety, Interoperability and the Transition to Digital Television Updated April 18, 2005 Linda K. Moore Analyst in Telecommunications Policy Resources, Science, and Industry Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Public Safety, Interoperability and the Transition to Digital Television Summary Plans for the use of spectrum intended for wireless emergency communications and interoperability are enmeshed in the technical requirements and complex economic and policy issues that surround the planned transition to digital television (DTV) in the United States. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to allocate 24 MHZ of spectrum at 700 MHZ to public safety, without providing a hard deadline for the transfer. The channels designated for public safety are among those currently held by TV broadcasters. The 9/11 Commission Report recommended in 2004 that “Congress should support pending legislation which provides for the expedited and increased assignment of radio spectrum for public safety purposes.” This was a reference to the Homeland Emergency Response Operations Act, or HERO Act — introduced by Representative Jane Harman — which would have required the FCC to “take all actions necessary to complete assignments” for these channels so that operations could begin no later than January 1, 2007, in line with the deadline originally envisioned for the completion of the transition to DTV for all affected channels. After the appearance of the Report, several bills resembling the HERO Act were introduced. Steps to release the spectrum were included in both the key House (H.R.

  • Deploying IP Storage Infrastructures

    Deploying IP Storage Infrastructures

    White Paper Deploying IP Storage Infrastructures The cost of deploying and maintaining traditional storage networks is growing at an exponential rate. New requirements for compliance and new applications such as analytics mean that ever-increasing volumes of unstructured data are collected and archived. Legacy storage networks cannot meet the need to scale-out capacity while reducing capital and operational expenditures. In response to this challenge, new storage architectures based on IP/Ethernet have evolved, and are being adopted at an ever-increasing rate. While technologies such as NAS and iSCSI are widely deployed, Fibre Channel SANs have maintained a dwindling but still strong presence in enterprise architectures. This paradigm is beginning to change as scale-out storage systems enabled by Software Defined Storage (SDS) are increasingly mature. The ability to reclaim stranded Direct Attached Storage (DAS) assets in a server infrastructure combined with the efficiencies gained by running storage traffic over the same IP/Ethernet network as standard data traffic provides an undeniably strong opportunity to reduce both the capex and opex required to deploy and run a storage infrastructure. According to some estimates, as much as a 60% capex reduction is achievable by deploying an SDS architecture which leverages server DAS to create a VSAN. Even without such radical savings, scale-out storage relying on IP/Ethernet offers dramatic savings over traditional Fibre Channel based storage. Most future IT asset deployments will leverage 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) and now 40 Gigabit Ethernet [40GbE]) for the underlying storage interconnect for newer applications. Traditional datacenter networks however are not designed to support the traffic patterns and loss characteristics to reliably deploy an IP/Ethernet storage infrastructure.

    Software Driven Cloud Networking

    White Paper Software Driven Cloud Networking Arista Networks, a leader in high-speed, highly programmable datacenter switching, has outlined a number of guiding principles for network designs serving private cloud, public cloud, enterprise and high-performance network use cases. Arista’s Software Driven Cloud Networking approach incorporates software capabilities of our Extensible Operating System (EOS®) and CloudVision® software to provide seamless and consistent operational experiences and workflow integration across any cloud infrastructure. Emerging third-party cloud orchestration technologies and services, and cloud provider infrastructures, complement Arista’s datacenter platforms by automating workgroup policies and provisioning within a broader integrated hybrid cloud IT infrastructure. Arista defines the combination of cloud automation technologies and Arista EOS-based Universal Cloud Network designs as Software Driven Cloud Networking. Integration targets for our Cloud Networking solutions include standards-based network virtualization controllers, network security services, hypervisors, container management systems, automated compute and storage clusters, cloud orchestration middleware, IT support systems and customized flow-based forwarding agents. arista.com White Paper Cloud Technology Shift High-performance Ethernet networks have evolved significantly since their inception in the late 1980s, with many evolutionary changes leading to new networking solution categories. The datacenter switching category, now extending widely into the private and public cloud infrastructure, has emerged as a unique high-growth category, demanding dense 10-100Gbps Ethernet switching at massive scales and unprecedented price/performance levels as its leading enabling characteristic. Beyond considerable speed progressions over the last two decades, datacenter switching also demands that networks support maximized performance at breakthrough economics, providing cost-effective expansion without redesign or reversals in architectural approaches.
