FCoE - Fiber Channel over Ethernet - form of network data storage solution -
SAN or NAS allows for high speed file transfers up to 128 Gbps - designed for
fiber optic cable - can support copper - needs separate cables - needs at
least 10 Gbps to support - works at layer 3
MPLS - Multiprotocol Label Switching - high throughput high performance
network technology that directs data across a network based on short path
labels rather than longer network address - saves time over traditional IP -
enables use of other networking tech like T1, ATM, Frame Relay, SONET, and
DSL
iSCSI - Internet Small Computer System Interface - networking storage
standard based on IP - used to enable location independent file storage,
transmission and retrieval over LANN or WAN or public Internet connections -
lost cost alternative to FCoE
VoIP - tunneling mechanism used to transport voice or data over TCP/IP -
supports voice, video, and data transmission
SDN - Software Defined Networking - unique approach to network operation,
design, and management - old way forces an org to stay with a single vendor
like cisco - limits flexibility - SDN aims to separate the infrastructure layer
(hardware) from the control layer (network services) - it removes traditional
network concepts of IP addressing, subnets, routing, etc.
Offers a new network design that is directly programmable from a central
location - vendor can be neutral - open standards based - network
virtualization
CDN - Content Distribution Network - content delivery - collection of resource
services deployed in numerous data centers - provide low latency, high
performance, and high availability of hosted content - the customer provides
the content
