Unused IPv4 network addresses are a scarce resource. The
deployment of IPv6 networking across the world is well underway. Some
large IT distributed infrastructures, such as the Worldwide Large Hadron
Collider Computing Grid, are starting to deploy dual-stack IPv6/IPv4
services to support IPv6-only clients. New networking protocols, such as
IPv6, always bring new challenges for operational...

The long-term preservation of information is a crucial requirement for
scientific progress in every research community. In former times hammer
and chisel were the tools of choice to preserve the cultural heritage,
nowadays the digital world introduces additional and novel challenges.
Obsolete formats and technologies, a quick decay of storage media or power
outages are just a few examples...

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a paradigm shift in the networking domain. It has recently become a hot topic and it is expected to change the way we think about networks and how we architect them. In this talk we will look at what SDN is, how it can be realized, and what the impact on networking, mainly in the data center, is. The SDN architecture will be explained, the abstractions used...
