At Palo Alto Networks, we have always believed in bringing integrated innovations to market with our Next-Generation Firewall. PAN-OS 9.1 , the latest release of the software that powers our Next-Generation Firewalls, continues that tradition. . SD-WAN for comprehensive branch security. SD-WAN for Comprehensive Branch Security.
SD-WAN, one of the most disruptive network technologies of the past few years, has a fast rate of adoption. Enterprises adopting SD-WAN are driven by key factors such as WAN cost savings, application performance improvement, management and operation simplification, and more. SD-WAN Visibility from Kentik.
We see these DevOps teams unifying logs, metrics, and traces into systems that can answer critical questions to support great operations and improved revenue flow. Traditional WAN : WAN access switches, integrated services routers, cloud access routers. Wireless access points and controller.
Kentik customers move workloads to (and from) multiple clouds, integrate existing hybrid applications with new cloud services, migrate to Virtual WAN to secure private network traffic, and make on-premises data and applications redundant to multiple clouds – or cloud data and applications redundant to the data center.
UDRs for the Firewall. Most recently, UDRs allowed us to add visibility into firewalls, including Cisco ASA and others. Firewalls can carry deep insights into network traffic based on their ability to perform deep packet inspection and authentication, and add attributes (such as user names and application types) to flow data.
When evaluating solutions, whether to internal problems or those of our customers, I like to keep the core metrics fairly simple: will this reduce costs, increase performance, or improve the network’s reliability? It’s often taken for granted by network specialists that there is a trade-off among these three facets.
This could mean the users are saturating the internet connectivity or that they’ve saturated the LAN (or maybe WAN). The richest data sources are from the VPN devices or firewalls. We also collect interface details and metrics using SNMP. Most often these devices can export NetFlow (or related flow types) or Syslog.
For example, to determine latency using traffic generated from probes or by analyzing packets, that traffic would likely pass through routers, firewalls, security appliances, load balancers, etc. Using a synthetic test, we can capture the metrics for each component of that interaction from layer 3 to the application layer itself.
Modern networks are made up of a collection of routers, switches, firewalls, and other network elements. From a high-level perspective, network operators engage in network capacity planning to understand some key network metrics: Types of network traffic. Key metrics for planning network capacity.
Only then can we pinpoint why one of our data center ToR switches is overwhelmed with unexpected traffic, why our line of business application is experiencing latency over the SD-WAN, why an OSPF adjacency is flapping, or why our SaaS app performance is terrible despite having a ton of available bandwidth.
SD-WAN and More. Maybe that’s why this year’s Gartner Magic Quadrant for Network Firewalls feels like a milestone to us. . The award is based on six criteria: reduction of cyber risk, key performance metrics, viability, efficiency, flexibility and differentiation. Cybersecurity Innovations. New Innovations in PAN-OS 9.1:
Modern networks are made up of a collection of routers, switches, firewalls, and other network elements. From a high-level perspective, network operators engage in network capacity planning to understand some key network metrics: Types of network traffic. Key Metrics. Capacity of current network infrastructure.
One of the more obvious, yet powerful uses for Kentik Detect is a dashboard that provides a comprehensive overview of network traffic across the entire infrastructure: LAN / WAN, internal data centers and public cloud. This first panel shows traffic per location across their WAN: banking branches, ATMs, HQ buildings, trading desks, etc.
Addressing the visibility gaps left by legacy appliances in centralized data centers, Kentik NPM uses lightweight software agents to gather performance metrics from real traffic wherever application servers are distributed across the Internet. Is it the WAN? Is it the network? Is it the Internet? Is it the data center?
Consider the edge components of an on-prem network: the expensive routers, switches, and firewalls. The SD-WAN systems, the DDoS scrubbers, and the intrusion detection appliances. The metrics collected help paint a vague picture of the cloud but don’t address any of the larger problems at play. But this isn’t cutting it.
For example, there are central log analytics workspaces for all central log metrics and (audit) or resources. Here is where we find the Virtual WAN and all the Virtual Hubs, as well as the firewalls connected to those hubs and, of course, the express route circuits and Peer to Site and Site to Site Gateways.
Distributors of the Year TD SYNNEX & Westcon TD SYNNEX is named the Global and North America Distributor of the Year, a testament to their exceptional performance across all key metrics, including remarkable pipeline growth and consistent success.
