Session overview
Businesses are looking to the cloud to support their
application and storage needs, but relying on the Internet for
access creates security and predictability issues. The
network often gets overlooked amid the talk about servers,
storage and software-as-a-service, but it is critical to
manage and control your user’s experiences. In this
session, tw telecom will discuss the importance of building
the right network foundation of visibility, flexibility and
control, which are key to a successful enterprise cloud
strategy.

Cloud Computing Defined
When you hear the term “cloud-
computing,” what definition first
comes to mind?
• 47% Fundamental change in how
technology services are provided
• 19% A tool, if delivered properly,
that can provide instant value to
my company
• 9% A tool that might work for
another company
• 13% Another buzzword – all hype
• 12% Unsure

Metro Ethernet Growth
• Metro Ethernet services
expected to see exponential
growth over next 5 years
• Internet access is primary
application
• Video, Telepresence consumes
15 to 20 Mb per location
• Data Center strategies require 1
to 10 Gig Ethernet
13
Ethernet Bandwidth Overtakes Legacy
• Ethernet services only
available in past decade
• Adoption of 1 Gigabit and
10 Gigabit services
• Expect continued growth
of 25% CAGR over next 5
years
• Fueled by data center and
Cloud services
14
100 Gig
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet has
growing position in WAN
strategies
• Storage doubling every 18
months to 2 years
• Data Center strategies
starting to address 100
Gigabit Ethernet
• Virtualization infrastructure
demands continuing
scalability
"When 100G Ethernet arrives, it'll be the next big thing
and the most important, because it will last to at least
2025, solving traffic problems for a very long time."
Michael Howard, Infonetics Research

Enhanced Management
Application Example: Legal Vertical
A key application is the ability to video conference between sites to conduct live depositions.
They have had performance issues with their video application at some sites.
Enhanced Management will allow them to see specific performance metrics for those specific sites in question to help them troubleshoot, make adjustments and improve their video performance.
29
Enhanced Management
Application Example: Insurance Vertical
A key application is the ability to assess the performance
impact to their network as code upgrades and patches to
existing applications are rolled out.
While rolling out a new release of A.I.M. an insurance
industry application, Enhanced Management allows them
to see the location by location impact to their network
performance and to other applications traffic as software
upgrades are implemented.
This gives them the data needed to make adjustments to
bandwidth and class of service settings to achieve the best
possible user experience.
