Data storage center centers will benefit greatly from the continued evolution of Ethernet. We saw in the past and present how Ethernet protocols enabled faster transmissions of data. How Xerox was able to network thousands of computers to a common printer. We even seen the benefit of collision management introduced in 1971. Data centers will improve the security of the cloud making it more cost effective to have virtual/roaming desktops. This will better enable companies to spend less on sky-scrapers by having most employees work from home. The hold back will be the telecom industry commonly referred to as ISP (internet service providers). Most of these companies have hesitated on the implementation of Gigabit connections due to the current high cost.
VLAN-enabled Ethernet networks require switches and routers. The switches connect the users in a specific geographical area together and to a common connection to routers, one being for traffic and the other being a dedicated firewall. VLANs enable corporations to “hide in plane site” over the internet while still having the benefit of mobility like VPNs.
Given the speeds of today’s Ethernet and the progression of the speeds, 10 to 100Gigs over 8 years and 100Gig to 1Tb since, transmission rate will double again in about 8 years. Although this seems true, I read that Ethernet fabric will rival fiber optic transmission capabilities. We must keep in might that a network is only as fast as its slowest component. This means computers will have to continue to get faster at processing requests and switches and routers will have to analyze and forward data packets at a higher speed to keep up with the evolution of Ethernet.
An organization wishing to implement a medical imagery repository would first have to consider what security protocols and policies it would use. Then, they should consider using Category 6 twisted pair
