Networking Fortinet integration with Nuage Networks SDN Nuage Networks VSP, with the emphasis on P for Platform provides many integration points for 3rd party network and security providers (a.o.) this way the customer can leverage the SDN platform and build end-to-end automated services in support of his/her application needs.
Networking SDN with Underlay – Overlay visibility via VSAP VSAP builds upon intellectual property from our parent company, Alcatel-Lucent (soon to be Nokia), using the 5620 Service Aware Manager as a base to combine knowledge of both the physical and virtual networks.
SDN Policy Based Abstractions through SDN Application Designer is built for use by people with an understanding of application constructs that don’t necessarily need to understand, or care about, the underlying networking constructs, these are automatically abstracted by the Nuage platform.
Docker Unifying Docker Container and VM networking Most environments are not homogeneous, typically you have multiple types of workloads and I believe this will only increase in the near future with the rise of containers, PaaS, VM’s, bare metal,…
VMware Introducing VMware vCloud Air Advanced Networking Services VMware just announced some additions to it’s public cloud service, vCloud Air, one of the additions is advanced networking services powered by VMware NSX.
Networking Zero Trust Network Architecture and Micro-Segmentation There is a simple philosophy at the core of Zero Trust: Security professionals must stop trusting packets as if they were people. Instead, they must eliminate the idea of a trusted network (usually the internal network) and an untrusted network (external networks).
Networking Effects of latency and packet loss on TCP throughput As an SE at a WAN optimization vendor I’m often faced with the following comment when meeting a new customer: “We don’t need WAN optimization because my ISP is offering me a great deal when I upgrade my bandwidth between A and B”.
Riverbed Your Salesforce.com, only faster. As mentioned in my previous post Riverbed has a joint SaaS optimization solution with Akamai called Steelhead Cloud Accelerator. In this blog post I will show you how to use this technology to accelerate your salesforce (people and the application).
Riverbed Boot from SAN? How about boot from WAN! With Granite we can use your consolidated infrastructure in the datacenter to power your branch remotely while still delivering on centralized management and provisioning.
Riverbed SSL Acceleration One of the prerequisites for WAN optimization is that the traffic we are attempting to de-duplicate across the WAN is not encrypted, we need “clear-text” data in order to find data patterns so de-duplication is most optimum.
Citrix Citrix HDX and WAN optimization (part 1) In this first of a two part blog post about Citrix HDX I want to explore the impact of HDX on the Wide Area Network, part one will serve as the introduction, and in part two I will testrun some of the scenarios described in part one.
Storage File- and Block Storage over a WAN In this post I wanted to explore how you can accelerate file storage (using CIFS as an example) over a wide area network and why it traditionally does not work for block storage (using iSCSI as an example).
