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.
