"As Interop has matured and developed, so has the InteropNet. It is a practical demonstration of the conference themes and mirrors what the Interop community is thinking about in an open, informative environment," said Glenn Evans, Lead Engineer, InteropNet.

The InteropNet is the premier example of how to design, deploy and manage a multi-vendor, converged network. It's a platform for the introduction of new technologies and, using best practice methodologies, provides a viable demonstration and reference model of networks that meet current and future needs. The complete list of hand-selected vendors involved in building the InteropNet includes:

• 6connect
• Avaya
• CenturyLink/Savvis

"The InteropNet is a perfect example of the state of computing today.

ScienceLogic has a birds-eye view of exactly how this happens, providing proactive monitoring that has to be vendor agnostic, giving the NOC team the advance warning necessary to resolve issues before they impact users," said Julia Lim, Vice President of Marketing, ScienceLogic.

Interop Las Vegas provides attendees the opportunity to take free, engineer-led tours of the InteropNet throughout the exhibition and gain a practical, behind-the-scenes view. Tours start at the InteropNet Network Operations Center (NOC) and are scheduled to run Wednesday and Thursday May 8-9 at 11:00 am, 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm.
