Scale Computing Announces Launch of Mz Scale-Out Storage Nodes

Good news for those out there leading the way in the conversion from 1GbE infrastructure to 10GbE:  This week we start taking pre-orders for M-Series storage nodes equipped with 10GbE network ports.  We’ve been testing with 10GbE and watching the adoption rates closely to determine when the offering made sense.  Of course 10GbE makes sense from a performance standpoint.  10GbE is up to 10x faster than gigabit. But we design storage solutions very specifically to deliver amazing bang-for-the-buck, and for a while, the “bucks” for 10GbE didn’t make sense for our storage solutions.  This has changed. The second quarter of 2011 saw the price per 10GbE port decline 10% again, while 10GbE switch sales increased over 22%, according to IDC.  These market trends and feedback from our own customers lead us to the conclusion that now was the right time for us to introduce 10GbE connectivity.

WatchGuard Extends Business Security with Virtualization

New WatchGuard XTMv Series Denotes New Line of Virtualized Firewalls

SEATTLE – October 18, 2011. WatchGuard® Technologies, a global leader in business security solutions, today announced that it is extending its award-winning line of unified threat management (UTM) appliances to the virtual world. Designed for a VMware hypervisor environment, the new WatchGuard XTMv series of virtual firewalls provides unparalleled network security, and advanced protection of applications and data.

“Businesses are quickly adopting virtualization as part of their strategy to stretch IT resources and budgets,” said Roger Klorese, Director of Product Management at WatchGuard Technologies. “For this reason, WatchGuard has developed virtualized versions of its XTM family so that businesses can consolidate technologies and reduce costs and complexities, while strengthening their overall security posture.”

WatchGuard XTMv
Four editions of XTMv will be available later this quarter to meet the needs of small, midsize and large-scale distributed environments. These virtual versions provide the same type of high security offered by WatchGuard XTM series hardware appliances, including Application Control, Reputation Enabled Defense, intrusion prevention, gateway anti-virus, web blocking traffic shaping, and more.

Because multiple instances of XTMv can run on a single vSphere hypervisor, the WatchGuard virtual appliance is ideal for managed security services providers (MSSPs), hosting providers, and larger IT organizations who wish to run separate logical firewalls on the same host system.

Furthermore, because the WatchGuard XTMv series can manage traffic passing within the virtual infrastructure, and even across internal networks between virtual machines in the same cluster or on the same server, XTMv is well suited to implement security policies between applications, user communities or tenants. Even in small offices with a single server running consolidated workloads, an instance of XTMv can be run on the same server to protect the full server consolidation environment.
