Circadence MVS 1300 Systems Management

Posted by laurenb @ Mon, 31 Jan 2011 14:59:59 -0500

Launch the virtual machine management platform of tomorrow – today.

Circadence MVS™ 1300 Systems Management suite

Virtualization is definitely a technology game changer – significantly cutting the operating costs for enterprises and enabling greater performance from existing servers. But if the virtual environment is not properly managed, your savings can quickly turn into liabilities. Enterprises need to contain virtual sprawl and gain greater visibility into the entire virtual infrastructure to keep costs down. And as virtual environments grow, so do your potential security threats.

The Circadence MVS1300 Systems Management suite empowers virtualization by unifying every asset – with the industry’s first unified global host system and virtual machine management platform. Along with traditional systems management tools, Circadence MVS delivers all the features required to create, deploy, and manage virtual desktop environments. By giving administrators access to discovery, management, reporting, and alerting for all physical and virtual assets, the Circadence MVS suite enables a centralized management approach for achieving the full promise of virtualization.
Circadence MVS has two components:

* Circadence MVS 1300 Host – Installed on each server with a minimal footprint, the server then becomes a part of the Circadence MVS network of resources.
* Circadence MVS 1300 Manager – This web-based interface module allows administrators to deploy and manage an unlimited number of virtual and physical machines from anywhere in the enterprise.

Circadence MVS 1300 benefits:

Centralized management
With Circadence MVS, IT administrators can manage and provision physical and virtual resources across the enterprise from a single console. With advanced technologies like AMT remote control and native support for Active Directory, problems can be isolated and corrected from one location.

Security for the desktop
The unique mass storage lockout endpoint security features inherent to Circadence MVS enforce policy controls and automatically direct users to approved network storage, leveraging enterprise security, and limiting the amount of data on the network edge.

Energy savings
Desktop virtualization delivers up to 90-percent savings in power consumption alone. Circadence MVS is an integral component in effective greening strategies.

Application delivery
Circadence MVS provides user, device, and role-based mapping to applications through the connection broker, allowing the right user to connect to the best-available resources at the right time. Remote users can also check out virtualized applications and then synchronize upon return.

Discover an innovative, more efficient way to listen to your network.

Circadence MVR™ 1400 Route Analytics suite

The Circadence MVR 1400 Route Analytics suite delivers integrated service performance management – a groundbreaking technology that continuously monitors the IP routing layer, tracking how thousands of critical services like unicast, multicast, and MPLS tunnels are travelling through the network. This added service-path intelligence does not introduce any significant load on production routers, and delivers a breakthrough in operations productivity by enabling automated correlation between services and the supporting lP/MPLS network elements.

As a standalone solution, Circadence MVR enables service providers and enterprises to have automated monitoring, detection, root-cause analysis, alarming, and reporting on routing events that impact services (i.e., metric changes, adjacency flaps, loss of redundancy, etc.). Many of these events are invisible to traditional network management solutions.

Circadence MVR 1400 benefits:

Maximize customer satisfaction.
By minimizing service disruptions and degradation, Circadence MVR solutions enhance change management to help prevent disruptions and enable rapid isolation of problems to reduce the duration of service degradation.

Cut operating costs.
This approach improves the productivity of human and network resources, reducing the cost of day-to-day operations by helping staff to quickly pinpoint the causes of service disruptions/degradation through automated correlation, while minimizing escalations to scarce and expensive IP routing experts.

Boost return of previous OSS investments.
The service path helps service providers achieve rapid return on investment through rapid deployment, ease of use, and low training costs. Off-the-shelf Circadence MVR solutions can be installed rapidly and will immediately provide information about a wide range of IP network sources.

Protect investments against obsolescence by offering a highly scalable architecture.
The three-tier architecture enables Circadence MVR 1400 platforms to manage thousands of services at once, and allows for growth with the increasing demands of an organization.

CRN - The Best Products Of 2010

Posted by laurenb @ Thu, 20 Jan 2011 10:00:43 -0500

Security Appliance: Watchguard XCS 370

We continue to hear compelling arguments from both sides as to whether better security solutions can be delivered through hardware-based appliances, or whether all thats needed is software and servers already located in an organizations data center.

Of late, weve seen software-only solutions make very strong strides. But where security appliance companies can provide significant value to protect an organization, we still have room to be impressed. Watchguard has done so. Earlier this year, the CRN Test Center received for review a pair of XCS 370s, the

middle product in WatchGuards three-piece XCS lineup for the SMB. The XCS 370 lists for $5,500 and is designed to handle up to 500 users; the XCS 170 ($2,475) and XCS 570 ($8,500) have a respective rated capacity of 250 users and 1,000 users. Ongoing support costs $1,200 per year. There are no per-user fees,

and all include access to the companys ReputationAuthority, a cloud-based filtering system that eliminates as much as 98 percent of unwanted e-mail, according to claims. ReputationAuthority uses a combination of DNS blacklisting, analysis of IP traffic volume and behavior, and content inspection to do its job. And it does so before the content ever hits user networks. It also serves to alert deployed boxes of new threats in realtime.

The price, performance and power of the XCS 370 is significant enough to win our thumbs-up as 2010s best product in the segment of security appliances.

CRN announces its Product of the Year Awards each December and recognized the XCS 370 for 2010 based upon its price, performance and power capabilities. “Many new products were introduced to the channel this year and narrowing our list was not an easy process.

“E-mail and the web are the main vectors for malware and other electronic threats entering enterprise networks today. No company is immune to this problem, but the deployment of combined WAM (web and messaging) security solutions can drastically reduce the volume of these threats,” said Phil Hochmuth, Program Manager for Security Products at IDC. “WatchGuard’s XCS 370 appliance targets the WAM security issue with a balance between price and performance geared towards mid-sized companies.”

“WatchGuard is very excited to receive this accolade from CRN. We believe that the XCS 370 exceeds the SMB customer’s expectations and provides best in class security and data loss prevention in an intuitive, easy to manage appliance,” said Mark Romano, Director of Global Channel and Field Marketing at WatchGuard Technologies and 2010 CRN Channel Chief.
