Cisco Delivers Long Awaited Wireless Management Upgrade
January 04, 2012 11:00 AM
While others in the wireless market seem to float one press release after another about new products and features, Cisco tends to be more deliberate in releasing its latest wireless offerings . In my opinion, Cisco has been a bit too slow in updating the company's aging wireless management framework for its market-leading customer base. But it's here now, and worth talking about.Ruckus Shakes Up Auto RF Management With New Paradigm
November 30, 2011 08:10 AM
For those who worry about things like which channel large groups of wireless access points are on, there hasn't been a lot to get excited about during the last couple of years. For most "smart WLAN systems," you put your faith in a murky channel selection algorithm, respect that the 2.4-GHz band has only three non-overlapping channels, and hope that the vendor built the right intelligence into the product set. That changes with ChannelFly, the new channel selection method from Ruckus that challenges tradition and promises big payoff for those willing to try the new magic.ITrinegy Offers Packet-Based Network APM For The Masses
October 24, 2011 10:58 AM
ITrinegy has announced a new generation of its AppQoS software that helps IT administrators solve APM issues associated with correlating data across different networked environments. The company is marketing an appliance, which it will sell as a real-time operational application performance management tool. Unlike competing products, which require a master-slave relationship, the appliances are aware of each other and any appliance can collect data from any other appliance.WLANs Evolve With vWLAN 2.1
October 11, 2011 08:27 AM
The evolution of the WLAN industry has been a curious, somewhat flip-floppy study in design philosophy. Stand-alone, intelligent access points got the party started more than a decade ago, and somewhere along the line lost favor to controller-based super systems. Now the big, expensive controller has become a target for frequent criticism as a growing number of vendors present innovative alternatives to funneling all WLAN traffic back to a central processing point. Bluesocket is among the latest to de-emphasize the importance of the controller, while also adding management of wired users with its recently introduced vWLAN 2.1 platform.The Fear And Loathing Of /64s On Point-To-Point Links
October 04, 2011 08:28 AM
I discussed in a previous article the necessity of abandoning IPv4 thinking when creating IPv6 address designs, and how our deeply ingrained need to conserve addresses can muddle our thinking. Nowhere does this conservative aversion to address waste snarl at us as menacingly as when we consider – completely compliant with the recommendations of ARIN and other RIRs – assigning /64 subnets to point-to-point links.Anue Network Monitoring Switches Handle 40G Networks
September 20, 2011 11:00 AM
Anue Systems is releasing what it says is the first network monitoring switch that is intended to help manage networks of up to 40 Gbit. Network monitoring switches perform tasks such as filtering out only a particular type of network traffic and then routing it to a network monitoring tool specifically intended to manage that traffic but that might not have the capacity to handle and filter that volume of traffic itself.Ruckus Raises A Ruckus With Unique Antenna Technology, New FlexConnect Feature Set
August 24, 2011 09:18 AM
Ruckus may not be one of the biggest companies in the WLAN market, but it is certainly among the most innovative. The Ruckus antenna story makes those of us who care about things like coverage patterns and beam forming get all tingly, and its latest client-facing feature set aims to balance extremely high performance with minimal client pain for getting securely connected in interesting new ways.You, There! Get Out Of My 2.4 GHz!
July 05, 2011 08:18 AM
The great thing about unlicensed spectrum is the ease with which wireless devices can be implemented. The bad part of unlicensed spectrum? That would be the ease with which wireless devices can be implemented. In the 2.4 GHz ISM band, a growing roster of wireless devices continues to harass and degrade the WLAN space to the dismay of those of us running big wireless environments.Fluke Networks Builds A Tablet For IT
June 16, 2011 08:00 AM
Tablets invading the workplace has mainly been seen as a problem for IT. But what about a tablet designed for IT and specifically for network management? That’s the idea behind Fluke Network’s OptiView XG, a management tablet loaded with Fluke Network’s network analysis and testing tools, and with the hardware needed to monitor any wired or wireless network.WhatsUp Gold Gets Makeover
June 07, 2011 10:05 AM
The network management division of Ipswitch is unveiling the new and improved WhatsUp Gold suite of network, server and application monitoring software. While more than 100,000 small and midsize business networks worldwide already use WUG solutions, version 15 is drawing rave reviews from early adopters, says Pat Loring, VP of sales, North America.« Previous Page | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | Next Page »
