Where the Cloud Touches Down: Simplifying Data Center Infrastructure Management

Thursday, July 25, 2013
10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET

In most data centers, DCIM rests on a shaky foundation of manual record keeping and scattered documentation. OpManager replaces data center documentation with a single repository for data, QRCodes for asset tracking, accurate 3D mapping of asset locations, and a configuration management database (CMDB). In this webcast, sponsored by ManageEngine, you will see how a real-world datacenter mapping stored in racktables gets imported into OpManager, which then provides a 3D visualization of where assets actually are. You'll also see how the QR Code generator helps you make the link between real assets and the monitoring world, and how the layered CMDB provides a single point of view for all your configuration data.

A Network Computing Webinar:
SDN First Steps

Thursday, August 8, 2013
11:00 AM PT / 2:00 PM ET

This webinar will help attendees understand the overall concept of SDN and its benefits, describe the different conceptual approaches to SDN, and examine the various technologies, both proprietary and open source, that are emerging. It will also help users decide whether SDN makes sense in their environment, and outline the first steps IT can take for testing SDN technologies.

Brocade Adds IPv6, Performance Increase To ADX Appliance

March 23, 2011 11:52 AM
Brocade's enhancements to its Server Iron ADX appliance are aimed at service and hosting providers needing to support IPv6, manage increased demand and support automated service management. The enhancements, which are available to existing customers with a support contract, set the ADX up for high-volume installations that are going to need future proofing.

Vineyard Networks Upgrades Application Intelligence For OEMs, Service Providers

March 17, 2011 10:29 AM
Vineyard Networks has announced the latest version of its application intelligence engine, which it sells to service providers as well as into the OEM security and network vendor markets. The Network Application Visibility Layer (NAVL) library now features thousands of applications, provides a custom application definition interface to add proprietary apps, and optimizes performance for standard multiprocessor hardware.

What WAN Optimizers Can Learn From Firewalls

March 11, 2011 10:28 AM
Listening to the give and take about WAN optimizers made me remember another battle between networking giants. It was nearly 10 years ago, during the early days of firewalls, when it seemed Marcus Ranum, then with Network FlightRecorder, would go head-to-head with Check Point's Gil Schwed on a weekly basis. Ranum was among the early creators of the application proxy and was vociferous about the value of delivering a firewall that terminated and inspected every session before passing the contents onto the destination. It was very effective, very secure and yet ultimately eclipsed by competing approaches.

Industry's First Turnkey Product Logistics Offering For WAN Security And Optimization Resellers, Reducing VAR Costs And Eliminating Margin Leakage

February 23, 2011 09:59 AM
Freedom Networks, the global leader in Optimized Bandwidth Aggregation Solutions, today announced the launching of its ExpressBITS (build-integrate-test-ship) program for resellers of its Express Line of Appliances. This unique, comprehensive program dramatically reduces costs and complexity for network VARs deploying private and public cloud-customer solutions. With today's release, WAN security and optimization value-added resellers and distributors can offer a single 1U Express Appliance, replacing multiple WAN security and optimization point products while eliminating most build, install, configure, test and logistic costs. This combined with the ability to select a best-of-breed virtual WAN optimization from companies like Expand, Netex and SilverPeak, based on specific customer solution, makes it the optimal platform for today's resellers of firewall, load balancing, packet shaping, optimization, and network availability/resiliency solutions. In short: a unified secure WAN Optimized Aggregation Unification platform.

The First IPv6 WAN Optimizer: Speed At What Price?

February 16, 2011 01:57 PM
Last week, Blue Coat upgraded its MACH5 to become the industry's first IPv6-compatible WAN optimizer. WAN optimizers have long supported tunneled IPv6 over IPv4, but the MACH5 is the first WAN optimization appliance to accelerate native IPv6--and then some. The MACH5 is actually a very sophisticated IPv6 application layer gateway (ALG), providing IPv6 connectivity, security and optimization in a single device. Yet it's precisely its sophistication that raises questions around device scalability and price.

WAN Optimization and the VDI Challenge

February 14, 2011 11:56 AM
I was sitting in on a peer-to-peer exchange about virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) hosted by Wikibon and listening to how great VDI is for organizations. I asked about multisite VDI and what recommendations people had for implementing VDI between sites. The speaker paused and said that she hadn't see any multisite implementations. No surprise there. VDI itself is still in its infancy, but it hit me once again that if organizations are going to see VDI's benefits at the remote office, they've got to pay close attention to their WAN acceleration layer.

Lancope Adds Application Awareness, Visualization Tools To Network Behavior Analysis

February 07, 2011 10:30 AM
Lancope's StealthWatch 6.0 network behavioral analysis tool features granular application awareness, flexible grouping of network assets for reporting and analysis, and relational mapping for network visualization.

Six Ways To Fail In The Cloud

January 24, 2011 11:33 AM
Our 2011 InformationWeek Analytics State of Cloud Computing Survey shows a 67 percent increase in the number of companies using cloud services, up from 18 percent in February 2009 and 30 percent in October 2010. IT now has a choice: Grab ownership of what's poised to be a core part of the enterprise technology toolset, or shortchange key functions and set ourselves up for disaster.

Data Centers: The Next Frontier For WAN Optimizers?

January 06, 2011 11:04 AM
Signs of the increasingly pivotal role that WAN optimization is playing in the enterprise can be seen in the emergence of hybrid cloud architectures within corporate networks. As Mike so poignantly pointed out in his blog, the simple ability to run a VM does not make an application ready for the cloud. If developers are to leverage on-demand services, such as Amazon's EC2, they need to rethink how they architect their software to leverage a hybrid cloud environment.

AppFirst Uncorks Free Server Monitoring Service

November 10, 2010 10:00 AM
AppFirst is offering a free server monitoring solution. Founded in 2009, the New York City-based company says its monitoring solution provides IT operations with complete visibility into the behavior and performance of applications across the entire application stack, regardless of language, application type or location (cloud, physical or virtual servers).
