Security Falling Short When It Comes To Dealing With Growing Cyber Attacks
February 10, 2012
The total number of network breaches are on the rise, although data loss from cyber attacks has decreased significantly, with customer records continuing to be a primary target for attackers, comprising 89 percent of breached data investigated.
Deploying Dual-Stack IPv4 and IPv6 Networks
February 10, 2012
Doing an IPv6 implementation project does not involve tearing down an aging IPv4 network and replacing it with a new IPv6-enabled network. Instead, the IPv4 and IPv6 networks will run in parallel in what the industry calls a "dual-stack" network. But IPv4 and IPv6 are so significantly different in design that network management tools designed for an IPv4 network may not work the same in an IPv6 environment.
Good Project Management The Difference Between Success And Failure
February 10, 2012
Demand – and budgets – are growing for IT projects in 2012, but the lack of proper project management typically results in a failed project, according to a new report from InformationWeek.

Network Managers: Know Thyself
February 09, 2012
As few as 25 percent of network managers have a clear understanding of what traffic courses through their networks and how to best manage it. Gigamon now offers technology that provides visibility for various network management tools that track performance, quality of service, security and other important metrics.
App Adapter Helps Solarflare Beat Out 10GbE Competitors Like Cisco, Brocade
February 09, 2012
Solarflare, a maker of network interface software and hardware, has introduced a new 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) adapter that improves application performance for high-demand computing environments such as financial services firms. Many of those firms tried to develop their own field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to speed up performance but were stymied by the cost and engineering complexity.
