How many of you managed to make the trek out to Las Vegas to attend Cisco Live this week? If you did, perhaps you are still at the event. I attended the first two days and took a few photos at the Anue Systems booth to share with you.

Pre-Deployment Testing and Implementation of a Converged Network
For those of you who frequent this blog or use Anue products, you are very aware of the importance of testing against the real world network before deploying on it. The following is a great guest post discussing how and why to test new converged applications before rolling out to the production network.
The best way to actually complete the tests with the highest level of accuracy is to use a Network Emulator that can capture and replay actual conditions from your unique network environment.
Interop 2010: Hanging with Anue Systems
Surely you are all aware of Interop 2010, which is taking place in Las Vegas, NV (USA) this week. The event began on Tuesday and continues until Thursday afternoon at 3:00 PM PDT, so if you are within driving distance, you can still make it.
Monitoring Network Security – Why the Security of Your Network is Vital
This week, we offer you a basic Network Security reminder. This is especially good for businesses with no IT department or a lack of budget to purchase more expensive appliance-based solutions. Please enjoy this guest post by Michael McQueen as a complimentary service from Anue Systems.
Data Center Design and Revision; Do Your “Level” Best
Please enjoy this week’s guest post about designing and/or revising your data center structure, written by Scott McQuarrie of EZWatch Pro.
RSA 2010: A look inside the expo
I’m blogging this from the hotel room near Union Square, and so far, RSA has been a lot of fun. Yesterday I took a few minutes to take some [very raw] video footage of the Expo to share with those of you who were unable to attend the show. Please excuse the audio quality; as [...]
Network Emulation and Monitoring: Call for Input
Good morning to all of our readers, and thank you for your time and attention here on our blog.
In the past year plus, we’ve covered a wide gamut of topics on The Network View. We’ve done a series about how to calculate an ROI (or cost savings, more like it) for simplifying the complexity of passive monitoring tools in the data center. We spent many weeks sharing insights from SPoTs (Security Pros on Twitter), many of whom you already knew, and a few who were very likely new folks to some of you. We shared some key players at a few security tool vendors in our ALIST series. And we’ve covered research, trends, 2010 predictions, and even some network emulation topics.
Network and Security Monitoring: Study Shows Much Room For Improvement
A few days ago we announced the results of Monitoring Optimization 2010: Trends and Issues Surrounding Network and Security Monitoring from Enterprise Management Associates (EMA). We commissioned EMA for this study in mid-2009 because we found a significant shortage of available data regarding out-of-band / passive monitoring. Quite simply, we have been building out our product strategy with a particular approach in mind. This approach has been validated innumerable times by prospects and customers, but the smart strategist doesn’t build a product based strictly on anecdotal data or a myopic view of the world.
So we took matters into our own hands.
Data Center Staffs Need Relief in 2010
Symantec recently released their third annual 2010 State of the Data Center report, and there were some especially important findings in the area of data center staff productivity. We’ve been talking about this important topic for a long time, and this seems like an ideal time to review the key findings, translate exactly what they mean for data centers, and tie it all together.
Security and IT in 2010
Heading into the New Year, we have seen a slew of reviews for 2009 and previews of what various experts and pundits think will happen this year. On this very blog, we have even chimed in on several of the more interesting takes that we’ve seen out in the blogosphere and on the web itself. But what we haven’t done is give our take on where we think the big stories will come in 2010, so let’s attack that angle now.
In 2010, I predict we will see more of…
