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.

Case Study: Network Emulation “Across the Pond”

Network Emulation is an important technique that service providers, enterprises, and network equipment manufacturers should employ for predeployment testing in a lab environment. By applying proven scientific methodologies, businesses can stand to save a great deal of money and time versus deploying blindly and reacting as problems arise.

Predictions for 2010: Breaking Down IDC’s Take for Data Centers and Service Providers

Continuing our end of year review of the various predictions from IT and networking thought leaders, today we turn our attention to IDC. For those of us who have been in high tech since the early 90s (or longer), IDC is a well-known entity. I remember working with them directly back in my days of fab planning and market research at Advanced Micro Devices, and they always offered a spin that made me take pause when interpreting trends and new developments.

MeThinks: Now is a Great Time to Give Thanks

This week we will enjoy a major holiday here in the USA, Thanksgiving. This tradition originated in the earliest days of our country’s existence, and we still take pause once each year to celebrate all of the good things that life has placed before us. While this is most certainly a time to enjoy family and be together, we want to take a brief moment to express gratitude as a company for the good things that have befallen us in the past year.

Anue goes to the movies: The Perfect Storm (a.k.a. Know what floats–and sinks–your boat)

Last week, we did a guest post by Brad Whittington and received some positive response, so we are sharing one more of his gems. Look for us to kick off the Security Tool Vendors series next week. In the meantime, I present to you…The Perfect Storm, Anue style!

Anue goes to the movies: My Fair Lady (a.k.a. You say Simulation; I say Emulation)

This week we take a hiatus from our Security-focused theme to turn to Network Emulation. Enjoy this guest post by Brad Whittington.

Sometimes you just have to use the right word. You know, like when people say, “I could care less,” when they really mean, “I couldn’t care less.” ‘Cause if you could care less, that means you care some amount more than zero. But if you couldn’t care less, it means you care zero, ’cause you can’t care less than that.

When Data Centers Collide – A Modern Fable Of A Lost Lunch

The following blog entry originally appeared on Spirent’s Broadband Blog earlier this week. As a partner of Anue Systems, Spirent has been gracious enough to share the content with us for posting here on The Network View.

Monitoring Resources: TechWorld

NOTE: The Network View has been offering a series of reviews on network visibility-related resources and blogs available online since early 2009.

Well well well, we’ve now shared about a dozen Monitoring Resources with you, and hopefully you’ve found some great places to stay up-to-date on critical issues in this area. Today, we are sharing a more broad site that covers a wide range of data center, IT infrastructure, and networking topics: TechWorld

FCoE and 10G Networks

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is a hot topic among network operations and data center circles these days. FCoE is seen as a key to convergence of the various technologies in the data center, so let’s spend a few minutes reviewing the concept, some expectations for when it will start to reach critical mass, and what the future holds.

Monitoring Resources: TaoSecurity

In our first edition of “Monitoring Resources”, we covered a nice online spot to find lists of software monitoring tools which are useful for a variety of monitoring techniques. Today, we focus on a great blog which covers security in very much depth: TaoSecurity.
