Why It's Time to Fix the Firewall
The firewall was once the strategic foundation of network security in
every enterprise. But over the last decade, Internet applications and
threats have evolved dramatically and can now bypass security controls,
making traditional firewalls ineffective and nearly obsolete.
Presentation Highlights: Insights into a new generation of evasive
applications and related threats capable of bypassing your firewall
controls, A look at three new network security requirements -- missing
from traditional firewalls -- that will restore IT's ability to manage
these and other Internet risks and a live demo time permitting.
Leveraging the
Firewall as the Strategic Point of
Application Control - Sept 16, 2009 Sheraton Hotel Toronto, ON
www.paloaltonetworks.com/events/toronto.html
A new generation of business and consumer Internet applications are
flooding today’s corporate networks. It is not
enough to simply
block or allow these applications. Each application must be
controlled based on its unique risks and the value it delivers to the
business. This context-based control can include limiting the
functionality of an application, restricting its access to certain
users, and even shaping the application with QoS controls to ensure
optimal performance.
The logical location for this level of application and user control is
the enterprise firewall. Unfortunately, traditional firewalls
are
unable to identify or control any applications. But
award-winning
next generation firewalls from Palo Alto Networks have restored
fine-grained application visibility and control for hundreds of
organizations worldwide.
Palo Alto Networks firewalls also allow you to identify and control
specific users by name – not just IP address – and
scan all
applications for a broad range of threats, all at throughput of up to
10Gbps.
GigaStream
Provides Highest Port Density and Lowest
Latency for Data Center Monitoring... September 15, 2009
Bye-Bye
Bottlenecking: Gigamon’s GigaStream
Stacks Up as the Best Solution for Data Center Monitoring
Innovative Trunking Technology Provides Highest Port Density and Lowest
Latency in Industry for Large Scale Data Centers; Enables 2.2 Terabytes
of Bandwidth per Second
Silicon Valley—September 15, 2009 - Gigamon, the leading
global
provider of intelligent data access networking™, today
announced
the release of GigaStream, an innovative trunking technology for
traffic load balancing that eliminates bottlenecking and guarantees the
highest port density and lowest latency in the industry. In a
multi-unit star configuration, GigaStream can bundle either GigaVUE
tool-ports or stack-ports to enhance security, speed and performance in
large scale data centers that demand massive port density. Create
cross- box connectivity with any of the GigaVUE platforms incorporating
hundreds of ports into a network-wide Data Access Network fabric.
Managing a large scale enterprise data center demands a complex network
infrastructure where 24/7 performance monitoring is critical. As these
data centers require massive port density to effectively monitor the
network, GigaStream supports automatic load balancing across multiple
monitoring tools, with the essential benefit of intelligently keeping
all packets of each session together.
The launch of GigaStream indicates that Gigamon has been listening to
its customers and identifying their specific needs,” Steve
Steinke, Senior Analyst for Networks at The 451 Group. “By
investing in innovation and product development, despite the down
economy, Gigamon continues to solidify its leadership position in the
data access networking industry.”
By creating an additional, virtual, tool port, GigaStream maximizes
network security, monitoring and troubleshooting. Network engineers and
Data Center Managers alike will appreciate that GigaStream enables 2.2
terabytes of bandwidth per second on a multi-chassis stack star
configuration. GigaStream allows up to eight 10GB ports to be
bundled between chassis or to a network tool, increasing
chassis-to-chassis bandwidth to 80GB.
“Gaining full network visibility with security and monitoring
tools continue to haunt network engineers and IT management,”
said Patrick Leong, Gigamon CTO. “GigaStream helps solve this
issue by expanding the number of stack ports between GigaVUE chassis
while maintaining low latency and delivering higher performance.
Gigamon remains ahead of the curve and competition because we truly
understand the pain points of our customers and design innovative
solutions that deliver technical and business value.”
Since 2005, enterprise network managers and IT security professionals
have always depended on Gigamon's GigaVUE® “orange
boxes” to aggregate, filter and replicate customized data
streams
to all monitoring tools. Gigamon provides access to any network segment
at any speed including 10Gig connections. Upon being installed, GigaVUE
can aggregate data from multiple segments, filter on specific
information within each packet and direct it to all tools needing that
information. Any tool can now be connected to the GigaVUE anytime,
which provides better monitoring in multiple areas simultaneously.
Gigamon recently became the industry’s first and only NEBS
(Network Equipment Building Systems) certified data access
switch.
