Several emerging
high speed networking
technologies offer
solutions to network
application demands
for the next decade
and threaten to
largely obsolete
current "first
generation"
LAN implementations
with new, more
cost/effective
developments.
This seminar
provides a systematic
introduction to
emerging high
speed network
technologies and
provides a framework
for planning a
migration to these
new architectures,
identifying where
the new technology
can be used to
selectively enhance
performance of
business networks.
Emerging Network
Technologies;
High Speed LAN
and WAN Solutions
is recommended
to anyone interested
in the rapidly
paced developments
and technological
change that is
overtaking computer
networks, impacting
the spectrum of
configurations
from LAN through
MAN to WAN architectures:
• people
who have responsibility
for keeping their
corporate networks
current with new
developments,
or advise in this
area.
• network
administrators,
whose job it is
to appreciate
the capacity limitations
of first generation
technology, and
help users be
successful with
available resources.
• systems
analysts and project
planners who are
uncertain as to
the effect of
new network technology
on their areas
of responsibility.
• people
newly appointed
to responsibility
with corporate
and enterprise
networks, who
need to be familiar
with new developments
and directions
in the industry.
• professionals
anxious to maintain
their essential
familiarity with
the changing technological
landscape of networked
business computing.
This seminar program
will provide answers
to questions about
existing and developmental
high speed network
technologies and
deliver insight
into appropriate
applications of
the technology
by:
• developing
a systematic,
detailed view
of available and
promised technologies
considering and
explaining the
relative strengths
and weaknesses
of each
presenting an
applications-oriented
view of where
each technology
makes sense
showing you how
your organization
can benefit from
planning to selectively
adopt high speed
network technology
• suggesting
areas where caution
must be blended
with optimism
in planning to
deploy this class
of technology
Emerging Network
Technologies;
High Speed LAN
and WAN Solutions
is designed as
a two-day program,
comprising approximately
12 hours of instruction.
A permanent,
comprehensive
workbook is included
for each attendee
-- which provides
a work-along class
reference manual
with a cross-referenced,
comprehensive
subject index,
encyclopedic glossary
and recommended
reading catalog.
