Network Tsunami: The Coming Wave of Video, Audio and Rich Media that will Wash Away your Corporate Network in 2008 (And How to Survive It)
Date: Thursday, August 23, 2007
Time: 1PM PST

The latest generation of highly interactive applications and rich consumer content is already causing problems for corporate networks. Video blogs (vlogs), hosted business applications, YouTube, ever-larger presentations attached to emails and videoconferencing are starting to clog up corporate IP networks designed for simple data exchange. This will only get worse as rich media become part of more business communications.

Rich media not only increase the need for bandwidth, but force new thinking about latency and massive storage and new kinds of security threats. How will your existing data network manage huge video files, time-sensitive VoIP, unlicensed music sharing, sound-annotated spreadsheets and highly interactive CRM running on distant servers? Learn about how the coming wave of interactivity and rich media will force changes on your network infrastructure.

Join ITManagement.com and Nortel Networks on August 23, 2007 at 1:00 p.m. as networking technology expert Dan DeBacker shares his knowledge of rich media and their effects on corporate networks, including strategies for avoiding catastrophe. He will address major – but manageable – risks that enterprises will encounter with the newest generation of media-enhanced applications.
Attendees to this webcast will learn about:
New kinds of rich, interactive media
Challenges these present to traditionally architected corporate networks
How to mitigate risk to your mission-critical business applications

I don't have the link to register yet, but I'll keep you posted here and invite you all to come join us.
