Enterprise Management Associates Evaluates Application Delivery Controller, Load Balancer Market November 02, 2011 Enterprise Management Associates (EMA (News - Alert)), an IT and data management research and consulting firm, identified the top-ranked application delivery controller and load balancer solutions in its latest EMA Radar Report titled, "EMA Radar for Application Delivery Controllers and Load Balancers: Q4 2011." The report finds that more and more IT organizations are turning to network-based delivery optimization technologies due to the rise in demand for high performing applications. What started as load balancer and layer 7 switches have evolved into what are now known as application delivery controllers (ADCs). An ADC (News - Alert), according to the report, acts as the next generation load balancer. however, its functionality has expanded to include other features such as application acceleration, compression, caching, SSL offload, and application layer security, and more. The research has found that there are several solid ADC/LB solutions designed for the scale of high-end enterprises, but there is also a whole class of solutions designed to meet the more sensitive cost points of smaller and mid-sized organizations. Further, cloud and virtualization are also having a direct impact on ADC/LB product architectures. EMA estimates that ADC/LB market is mature with total annual product sales in the global market in excess of $1.7 billion; however, it is also very active and competitive, with new products and new features being introduced on a regular basis. Based on the criteria defined by EMA Managing Research Director Jim Frey and EMA Senior Analyst Tracy Corbo, EMA has selected leading vendors in this space. Key criteria for evaluation included Deployment and administration, Cost advantage, Architecture and integration, Functionality and Vendor strength.

The research also provides a comparative study of the leading vendors including Cisco, F5 Networks, CoyotePoint, Citrix Systems, Brocade Communication, A10 Networks (News - Alert), and Radware. “the good news for customers is that there are plenty of ADC/LB choices on the market that are designed to fit a range of budgets and deployment environments,” said Tracy Corbo, EMA senior analyst, in a statement. however, Corbo added, “the bad news is that with such a range of choices and options it can be a somewhat daunting task to know where to start.” ADCs, according to a recent TMCnet report, understands application specific traffic and can optimize application server performance by offloading many of the compute-intensive tasks that would otherwise bog down CPUs that could be better utilized elsewhere. A recent white paper from Coyote Point Systems (News - Alert) titled “Advanced ADCs take Over WhereServer Load Balancers Leave Off” shows how these new generation ADCs are taking over the network traffic management from traditional load balancers and preventing any traffic jams from occurring. In addition to load balancing traffic, advanced ADCs are also displaying their ability to intelligently route users to their application and content destinations efficiently and intelligently, based on business priorities and goals, the report said.Rajani Baburajan is a contributing editor for TMCnet. to read more of Rajani's articles, please visit her columnist page.Edited by Carrie Schmelkin

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, Oct 20, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --Symantec Corp. /quotes/zigman/78627/quotes/nls/symc SYMC +0.43% today announced that TriNet, aprovider of human resources services to startups and smallbusinesses, uses a combination of Symantec security, backup,archiving and eDiscovery software solutions as key components of itsgovernance, risk and compliance (GRC) policy and to facilitate itsmigration to virtual servers. as a result, the company hassignificantly reduced the time and money IT and legal must spend oninformation security and management, and complying with laws andregulations governing the security and privacy of confidentialinformation. TriNet combines a suite of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based HRservices, with strategic consulting with HR professionals for morethan 5,000 businesses nationwide. The company specializes in managingbenefits, payroll and human resources, allowing its clients to focuson their core business priorities. "Due to the nuances and complexities of employment law, we work inone of the most highly-regulated industries in the country," saidBryan Hallas, Director of IT Infrastructure, TriNet. "We manageextremely confidential information, such as social security numbersand benefits records, and Symantec has proven to be an invaluablepartner in helping our employees to perform their jobs without beinginterrupted by IT roadblocks such as being unable to find specificrecords, failed backups or being inundated by spam." Preventing Data Loss, Blocking Spam TriNet implemented Symantec DataLoss Prevention (DLP) to prevent employees from accidentallytransmitting confidential information via email or downloading it toa portable storage device such as a USB thumb drive. SymantecEndpoint Protection secures endpoints such as employees' laptops anddesktop computers against the constant threat of external malwareauthors attempting to steal information. TriNet also uses Symantec Brightmail Messaging Gateway to keep spamand phishing emails out of employees' inboxes and reduce the threatof someone inadvertently clicking on a link that leads to a maliciouswebsite. TriNet receives more than 118,000 emails over a 24-hourperiod, and Brightmail blocks about 92 percent of those messages. "Once you actually start looking at what's leaving your network, Ithink most companies would be just shocked," added Michael Belloise,TriNet's Information Security Manager. "DLP is a very strongcomponent of our business, and tying that into the process of how werespond to client inquiries or transmit large volumes of data toregulatory agencies, or to prevent some kind of unnecessarydisclosure of information, be it theft, breach, is very helpful." Faster, More Complete Backups and eDiscovery Searches Because TriNetis often involved in legal cases for its clients, it is regularlyrequired to produce specific records as part of an eDiscoveryrequest. Pulling backup disks or tapes and searching for recordsbecame a time consuming and expensive task for IT and legalpersonnel, so TriNet implemented Symantec Enterprise Vault archivingsoftware. Emails are automatically indexed and placed in a searchablerepository, eliminating the need for employees to save emails inindividual PST files. Older emails are moved off the Exchange serverand onto cheaper storage options, and technologies such asdeduplication and compression prevent multiple copies of one emailfrom being stored and backed up. as a result, TriNet has reduced theamount of storage disk space it requires by 50 percent and hasdeferred having to spend money on new storage hardware. EnterpriseVault has also significantly streamlined the eDiscovery process.

"We receive an average of two eDiscovery requests each week, andevery search involves the IT department; the process was laborious,"said Hallas. "Legal would give us some parameters, and we would thenspend hours searching and retrieving emails, dumping them into a PSTfile, and sending to legal for review. once we implement theEnterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator add-on module, the time itwill take to complete an eDiscovery request will be a quarter of whatit used to be, and the Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator willenable the legal team to conduct and complete those searches withminimal help from IT." TriNet relies on Symantec NetBackup to backup data across its entireIT environment, which includes a mix of production systems running onUNIX and Linux and internal infrastructure based on the MicrosoftWindows platform. TriNet has also migrated its servers to a virtualenvironment, relying on NetBackup to backup data stored on itsvirtual servers running on VMware vSphere 4.1. Additionally, theNetBackup agent for Enterprise Vault streamlines the process ofmoving older, archived records to the backup system.

Sprint not the only one with an unlimited iPhone plan

admin — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 04:38:33 +0000

(Credit:Josh Miller)If you want to pair youriPhone 4S with an unlimited-data plan, Sprint Nextel will no longer be the only game in town. Regional carrier C Spire Wireless (formerly Cellular South) said today that it plans to offer theiPhone 4 andiPhone 4S beginning November 11. C Spire is offering four options for service plans, ranging between $50 and $100. All four require a two-year contract. While all of the plans technically offer unlimited data, there is a catch. The two cheapest plans, which cost $50 and $70 a month, respectively, exclude data-streaming services.

Streaming movies and songs are among the chief culprits for heavy traffic loads on wireless networks. The company said it has a network that is built for data devices, noting that it supports the highest percentage of customers with smartphones in the nation. C Spire surprisingly announced last month that it would also be selling the iPhone, just days after the phone launched with the three largest national carriers. The fourth-largest U.S. carrier, T-Mobile USA, remains left in the cold and has stepped up its reliance on Android smartphones.

Wireless Network Security for Home Users

admin — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 04:37:35 +0000

Article by Debbie JacobsenIf you use a wireless network, chances are good it is not secure. if you don’t make some important configuration changes on your wireless router after installing it, your wireless network is wide open to hackers, curious neighbors and people who would rather use your broadband internet service instead of buying their own. Several of my neighbors have a wireless network set up in their home, and from my living room I can connect to three different networks in addition to my own. I do this easily, using no special skills, software or equipment. all I do is click on my wireless networking icon and select “view available wireless networks”. I choose one, click “connect”, and in an instant I am using my neighbor’s internet connection instead of my own. Kind of creepy, isn’t it? Following are 6 things you can do to make your wireless network invisible and impenetrable to the majority of intruders. 1. Change the default password of your wireless router. This makes it harder for a would-be intruder to access the router administration controls.2. Change the name of your SSID. The SSID (service set identifier) is the name of your wireless network, and by default is usually the brand name of your wireless router (like Linksys). Change this to a unique name of your choice. a good rule of thumb to follow when setting up any type of network is to always change the default settings to something else, which makes it harder for an intruder to get in.3. Use an encryption key. Most wireless routers have WEP encryption capability (Wireless Equivalent Protocol), and the newer ones also have WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). WEP is an older standard and less secure than WPA, so if you have both, choose WPA. even WEP is probably good enough, and if this is all you have choose the highest bit encryption possible (usually 128 bit).Once you set up encryption on your wireless router, write down the method you are using as well as the key (a long string of cryptic-looking characters), because you will need this to set up encryption on each of your computers that will use the wireless network.4. Disable broadcasting of your SSID. by default, the SSID (your wireless network’s name) is broadcast to anyone with a wireless network card.

although this makes it easy to configure your computers to access your network, it also makes it easy for outsiders to know about your network. by disabling SSID broadcast, no one will ever see your network. 5. Limit the number of IP addresses your wireless router allows on the network. by default, your wireless router will assign an IP address to as many computers that request one. if you limit the number of addresses that the router’s DHCP server assigns to just the number that you need, you will “block” all other computers that try to connect to your network.6. Use MAC address filtering. You can configure your wireless router to only allow certain computers on the wireless network by including each computer’s MAC address in the list of “allowed” users. a MAC address is a unique physical address that is hard coded onto each network interface card. it is much like a serial number, as every MAC address is unique. Find your network card’s MAC address by opening up a command prompt and typing in ipconfig /all. Look for something that says “physical address”, and the series of letters and numbers following this is your MAC address. it will look something like this: 00-06-5B-CE-DA-B5. Key this information into the wireless router’s MAC address filtering setup under MAC address 1. Repeat this process for every computer on your network, using MAC address 2, 3, and so on.*** in addition to securing your wireless network, there is one more thing you need to do to make sure your wireless network is safe:Install a software firewall on each of the computers on your wireless network. if an intruder does happen to get into your network, a software firewall (also known as a personal firewall) will keep him out of your computer. With a personal firewall running, the most an intruder can do is use your internet connection and your bandwidth; he will not be able to access your data. For more information on the various software firewalls available, see: http://www.antivirus-firewall-spyware.com/software-firewalls.html about the AuthorDebbie Jacobsen is an information technology professional and author of the following computer security sites:Antivirus Firewall and Spyware ResourcesComputer Security for EveryoneFind more Wireless Networks Articles

Genetec was selected as this year's ADP award winner for the committed efforts made to develop joint opportunities, initiate training and marketing programs and continue ongoing product integrations and development with Axis."Genetec is truly deserving of this award. They made a concerted effort to improve and enhance our collaborative business relationship for the benefit of our mutual partners and customers," says Rob Muehlbauer, business development manager, ADP Program, North America, Axis Communications. "not only have they increased joint marketing activities in the form of case studies and projects with our integrator partners, but they made great investments in both development workshops and internal training."Genetec was also honoured with the first-ever Canadian Application Development Partner of the Year award during the inaugural Axis Canadian Partner Summit at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, in September. The IP video surveillance market has seen significant growth in the last few years and with that so has the relationship between Genetec and Axis.

Security Flaw Found With Skype And Other VoIP Services

Researchers from the Polytechnic Institute of new York University say that Skype can be used to track the locations of users over time and peek into their peer-to-peer file-sharing activity, Emma Woollacott for TG Daily reports.The glaring security flaws uncovered in Skype, which claims more than a half-billion registered users, and other voice over IP (VoIP) systems potentially allow hackers to access user identities and locations.One report suggests that one in five overseas calls is made using the service and works even when a user blocked callers or used a Network Address Translation (NAT) firewall.“Just as with typical Internet communications software, Skype users who are connected may be able to determine each other’s IP addresses.”“Through research and development, we will continue to make advances in this area and improvements to our software,” Adrian Asher, Skype’s chief information security officer told FoxNews.com. Skype places a priority on security and safety, he added.Keith Ross of NYU-Poly explains, “These findings have real security implications for the hundreds of millions of people around the world who use VoIP or P2P file-sharing services.

”“A hacker anywhere in the world could easily track the whereabouts and file-sharing habits of a Skype user – from private citizens to celebrities and politicians – and use the information for purposes of stalking, blackmail or fraud.”When a call is initiated, the IP address of the recipient is revealed to the caller, who can then use commercial geo-IP mapping services to determine their location and Internet Service Provider (ISP).Ross successfully tracked 10,000 randomly chosen Skype users over a two-week period, according to the new York Post. Researchers also used the flaw to successfully track one of their own as he traveled from new York to Chicago, back to new York and then to his home in France.The flaw may also be a problem for other video chat services such as MSN Live, QQ and Google Talk, the researchers said.—On the Net:Polytechnic Institute, new York University Skype
