Net Optics and VMware Team Up to Deliver Full Visibility, Automation, Flexibility and Scalability for Comprehensive Moni
Enterprises have been utilizing Tap solutions for network traffic access for many years. Traffic capture, analysis, replay, and logging are now part of every well-managed network environment. In recent years, the significant shift to virtualization—with penetration exceeding 50%—is yielding great benefits in efficiency. However, today’s virtualization-based deployments create challenges for network security, compliance, and performance monitoring. This is because Inter-VM traffic is optimized to speed up connections and minimize network utilization. This imposes invisibility on physical tools unable to extend easily into the new environments. Costly new virtualization-specific tools plus training can affect the economic benefits and cost-savings of virtualizing. Currently, many tools suffer from limited throughput, hypervisor incompatibility, and excessive resource utilization.
Read Navigating the Flood of BYOD to find out what challenges to secure your network architecture. When Total Application and Network Visibility is implemented, BYOD helps employees to stay in touch with their personal lives while keeping their business lives separate, preserving the confidentiality and integrity of each—all on the same device.

Net Optics and EMC-RSA
Virtualization deployments can offer many great, cost-saving benefits, however it also creates new challenges when it comes to network security, compliance, and meeting regulations and SLAs. The introduction of vSwitches means that current physical monitoring tools, such as the EMC – RSA NetWitness™Investigator, cannot easily extend into the Intra-VM level within virtual hypervisors. The time may not yet be ideal for investment in new virtualization-specific tools and training, and the company may wish to continue leveraging such system resources as vCPU, vRAM, vNIC, storage and others. Find out more by downloading the joint solution brief. http://www.netoptics.com

To date the hype about Big Data has come from the perception that Big Data is the next frontier in gaining deeper insight into the customer, or an organization’s business. In the next decade, it is hoped (or hyped) that Big Data will be key to finding ways to better analyze, monetize, and capitalize on these information streams and integrate these insights into the business. It will be the age of Big Data.
But where else will Big Data have an impact?
For IT departments, Big Data represents a new set of requirements and supporting infrastructures, and will require a well thought-out approach to the datacenter network. The network will serve as the key backbone for the special communications and processing needs of Big Data. In preparation for this new era, Network Administrators should begin now to proactively plan for how to mitigate the latency and switch capacity issues that will arise from Big Data’s special needs.
Please join us for this presentation as we explore the implications of Big Data on the network.

Learn the Secret of Building a Dynamic, Responsive Network Access Architecture
Today’s networking landscape is growing so fast that the most expansive predictions risk underestimating the phenomenon. Both the extent and rate of growth are breathtaking—and that could seem like a trickle compared to what’s in store. This deluge is the result of rising video and all-IP traffic volumes, rapid migration to the cloud, and momentum toward 100 GbE and 4G LTE, all accelerated by the insatiable appetite for tablets and smartphones.
When a global provider of Derivatives and Trading Systems needed to maximize their network performance and improve their network monitoring and data analysis, they turned to Net Optics Director Data Monitoring Switch. The firm faced the challenge of optimizing multiple redundant data centers to provide customers with the fastest possible access to trading data from international futures markets. Director’s ability to connect dozens or hundreds of critical high-volume data links dynamically to monitoring tools made it the ideal solution for providing the firm’s customers with the performance they demanded.
What you will learn:
Presented by Net Optics' FAE Aron Ingebrigtsen, this webinar will walk through a specific deployment scenario of Net Optics' Director Data Monitoring Switch as a key network infrastructure component for a global leader in Derivatives and Trading Systems.
Join us to discover:
The advantages of gaining 100% visibility across multiple data centers
How key features such as aggregation, regeneration, and traffic filtering at line speed make Director ideally suited to high-performance networking
The key business benefits of traffic monitoring and inspection
As network security threats continue to multiply, so do the tools to battle them: firewalls, activity monitors, intrusion prevention systems (IPSs) and so forth. To defend your network, you need a reliable arsenal of these tools, but what if one of them stops performing?
Presented by Net Optics' Product Manager Lannie Rhodes and Director of Access Solutions Daniel Aharon this webinar dives into the rising security challenges facing your network and cover the latest trends in defending against them. Additionally, we discuss:
Advantages of utilizing a Bypass Switch to protect your network against security tool failure
Methods for developing monitoring redundancies for supporting uptime Service Level Agreements
Best Practices for maximizing your High Availability Networks
Best practice network deployments make use of Taps to route, aggregate, and regenerate traffic that is then sent to these tools to make use of their full capabilities. In addition, bypass Taps are used to ensure a failed monitoring appliance doesn’t bring your network traffic to a standstill. Taps form the foundation for implementing an intelligent access and monitoring infrastructure.
2011 is the year of the 10G rollout
10, 40 and 100 Gbps networks are under growing pressure to carry skyrocketing volumes of mission-critical business applications, performance-sensitive video and VoIP traffic, private and proprietary data, and crucial Internet connectivity. Monitoring the network to ensure availability, performance, security, and compliance has never been more important.
Simultaneously, network monitoring solutions developed for 1G networks are now mature and for most enterprises represent significant investments in capital equipment, process development, staffing, training and experience. The challenge for organizations is how to scale their security solution up to 10 Gigabit speeds (and beyond).
To take two examples, traffic recorder performance is limited by the sustained write speeds of disk arrays while IPSs run enormously complex algorithms constrained by CPU performance. Simply buying a bigger, faster box is either cost-prohibitive or it simply doesn’t exist.
Load Balancing—A Proven Method for Enhancing Performance
Load balancing is a well-understood technology that has been used in the past to distribute transactions across pools of servers. Load balancing monitoring traffic across multiple tools is an obvious extension of the concept. However, monitoring load balancing presents several unique challenges of its own.
What you will gain from this webinar
During this webinar we will present several use cases for load balancing monitoring access. By discussing these cases we will establish requirements for monitoring load balancing and suggest strategies for meeting them.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
