IBM Empowers Applications to Call Upon Network Services Via PureSystems

This is the forth of a five part podcast series on IBM’s Open Data Center Interoperable Network or ODIN program and DOVE or Distributed Overlay Virtual Ethernet. I talk with Dr. Casimer DeCasatis, IBM Distinguished Engineer and System Networking’s Chief Technical Officer for strategic alliances about IBM’s Software Defined-Networking or SDN stack and how applications request network services with IBM’s linkage between its Patterns and SDN product set.   Duration 12 minutes and 17 seconds:   Lippis Intro/Analysis @ : 00:10 sec Question 1 @ 2:27 What are the key architectural components that enable applications to call upon network resource within PureSystems. Question 2 @ 4:45: What is Patterns and its main function? Question 3 @ 7:21: How do clients build DOVE networks and DOVE networks build Virtual System pattern?  Question 4 @ 8:58: What network infrastructure needs to be put in place before virtual system patterns can be created and what’s the main business benefit gained?   Register to attend the Open Networking User Group hosted by Fidelity and the Lippis Report on Feb 13th 2013 in Boston, MA
