UFOs and Other Sightings at Interop 2013

Greg Copeland — Wed, 15 May 2013 13:28:15 +0000

Seen at Ixia’s Interop booth this year; UFOs, vintage sodas, wheel of DDOS attack, and lots of conference attendees! Our UFO (unidentified failures and outages) creature proved very skilled at luring unsuspecting earthlings into the Ixia booth. Once trapped by the UFO, they stayed for the vintage sodas, to try their luck at the wheel of DDOS attack, and of course to learn about Ixia products! Many thanks to the UFO for helping spread the word about Ixia.

Ixia at Interop 2013

Malicious attacks. Conflicting technology. Unexplained network downtime. Hits to your network can come from anywhere, and how do you know who and what to trust? Trust only data…data that provides predictive analytics, shows infrastructure stress fractures, monitors user behavior, and keeps you ahead of the hackers and the auditors.

Higher Speed Ethernet Without The Blind Spots

Rudy Millian — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 12:44:39 +0000

With the ratification of the IEEE 802.3ab in 2010, 100GE has displaced 10GE as the next network speed for service providers. As was the case with the migration to 10GE, two challenges with the deployment of 100GE are high deployment costs and lagging availability of supporting technologies and tools.

An effective network traffic optimization strategy will systematically increase the performance of all your monitoring tools – and the productivity of your IT staff. It should continually look for new ways to save time, money, re-instrumentation, and manual steps.

Beyond Network Visibility

Carla Swenson — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:45:09 +0000

Good network monitoring starts with having full visibility into all your production network data, from your physical to your virtual networks. But it doesn’t end there. Far from it.

When you use a network monitoring switch – also known as a network packet broker – to offload the mechanics of juggling network traffic from your monitoring tools, you empower each tool to see more and do more of what it’s good at. And you’ve set yourself up for more top-down control, like being able take action on where your traffic goes with a high-degree of precision.

Stop Chasing Network Visibility

Carla Swenson — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:07:10 +0000

In the space of a few weeks in January and February 2013, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Twitter, Facebook, Apple and the U.S. Department of Energy reported that their computers and servers had been breached by hackers.

For those of us who are responsible for operating, maintaining, and protecting networks, it was a chilling reminder of just how vulnerable we all are – and how consistently vigilant we must be. (As if we needed the reminder, right?)

Ixia and Other RSA Attendees Demonstrate Joint Network Visibility Solutions

Greg Copeland — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:21:17 +0000

I had the great pleasure to attend the RSA show in San Francisco from Feb 25^th to 28^th. Ixia was well represented at the show with an excellent booth and many great presentations across the Ixia solutions. Apart from Ixia’s booth I was impressed with the size and diversity of vendors at the show, from large corporations to small along with some exciting new players. Traditional security technologies such as SIEM, Malware Analysis, and Antivirus are maturing, while newer technologies such as cloud, SDN, and NGFW are making their presence felt.
