• How can I remove cost and complexity from my network?
• What are my optical platform choices, and what’s the best way to evaluate them?
• What should I know today about 10, 40 and 100 Gbps technology; should I skip 40G and wait for 100G?
• Is Ethernet the best transport medium or can other options such as IP, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand play a role?
