Two Technical Discussions at Ethernet Technology Summit 2014

Vitesse Semiconductor Corporation has announced that Martin Nuss, chief technology officer at Vitesse, will advocate new paradigms for system architecture and network security at Ethernet Technology Summit 2014 in Santa Clara, Calif., April 29 – May 1, 2014.
  • “Securing Ethernet Networks: Authentication, Data Integrity, and Confidentiality in Ethernet Networks,”Session A-102 on Wednesday, April 30 at 9:50 am local time
  • “New Systems Architectures for Storage over Ethernet,” Forum 2B on Thursday, May 1 at 9:50 am local time

The first panel discussion will examine security at the network protocol level, particularly focusing on IEEE 802.1AE MACsec. Advocating MACsec as a scalable security solution for end-to-end network encryption, Dr. Nuss joins experts from Data Confidential and InsideSecure.

In the second panel, Dr. Nuss participates alongside Seagate Technology, Dell’Oro Group, and Broadcom to discuss convergence on Ethernet for storage, supercomputing, and other functions, as well as in standard networking applications. Dr. Nuss will introduce new architectural paradigms for Storage over Ethernet (SoE).

Dr. Nuss has over 20 years of technical and management experience and is a recognized industry expert in Ethernet technology including timing and synchronization for public and private communications networks. Dr. Nuss serves on the board of directors for the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) and is a fellow of the Optical Society of America and IEEE member. He holds a doctorate in applied physics from the Technical University in Munich, Germany.
