Austin Hipes currently serves as the director of field engineering for NEI. In this role, he manages field applications engineers (FAEs) supporting sales design activities and educating customers on hardware and the latest technology trends. Over the last eight years, Austin has been focused on designing systems for network equipment providers requiring carrier grade solutions. He was previously director of technology at Alliance Systems and a field applications engineer for Arrow Electronics. He received his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Dallas.
Those familiar with deploying virtual machines (VMs) know that in order to
ensure performance, VMs must be tied to physical platforms. As the demand for
data-intensive virtualized and cloud solutions continues to increase, more
powerful server platforms will be required to deliver this performance
without significantly multiplying hardware infrastructure for every VM.
The new Intel Sandy Bridge series (Intel's Xeon E5-2600 processor family) is
ideally suited for enabling more powerful and efficient virtualized solutions
for high-throughput, processing-intensive communications applications. This
latest dual-processor architecture features an increased core count, I/O, and
memory performance to allow more virtual machines to run on a single physical
platform. Virtualization can be extremely memory-intensive, as more VMs
typically require more total system memory. In or... (more)
The one sure constant in the application deployment space is change. Over the
last decade, many software OEMs have gone from shipping only packaged
software to offering turnkey physical appliances, and more recently to
providing packaged virtual appliances. The evolution from packaged software
to appliance deployments, both physical and virtual, gives end users and IT
departments a more streamlined approach to deploying and managing specific
services in their environments, leading to better customer experiences and
reduced support costs. So what changes when virtual appliances mo... (more)
