Kaminario Unveils Petabytescale All-flash Storage Platform for On-demand Applications
Kaminario has announced the availability of its sixth generation ( Gen6 ) K2 all-flash array , delivering multipetabyte scale storage with the performance and agility to meet the needs of an on-demand world .
Kaminario K2 Gen6 is powered by VisionOS , a software platform that optimises best-of-breed commodity hardware resources . K2 is built for delivering applications on highly scalable private clouds or as-a-service infrastructures .
K2 ’ s scale-up and scale-out architecture covers both dimensions of scale – capacity and performance . The array can linearly grow the number of CPU cores and independently grow solid state capacity – breaking the limits of rigid architectures . Advances in compression technology enable K2 Gen6 customers to realise high capacity and efficiency backed by enhancements to the ForeSight storage assurance program .

Zero To Hero with Avi Networks ’ Software Defined Load Balancers
Avi Networks has announced it has achieved scalability with its elastic services fabric consisting of software defined load balancers . Avi Networks ’ software delivered one million SSL transactions per second ( TPS ) to a single web application , automatically scaling up load balancing services from zero to peak traffic , after which it scaled down to normal levels just as easily . This is unlike traditional hardware load balancers which would require huge investments in capital equipment that goes unused during normal periods of traffic .
Avi ’ s centrally managed , elastic services fabric is equipped to handle traffic spikes due to denial of service ( DoS ) attacks , seasonal events such as Black Friday , and hybrid cloud use cases . It empowers IT departments to pay for maximum load balancing capacity on an as-needed basis , and scale it down as traffic returns to normal levels . With this demonstration , Avi Networks has completely debunked a common myth that companies must spend millions of dollars on hardware load balancers to handle large transaction volumes or high throughput .

Specialist management simplifies SD-WAN adoption for global enterprises
According to Teneo , global companies seeking growth but struggling with branch based workforces and network managers having to handle world-wide responsibilities , need to rethink networking and application performance management ( APM ) capabilities using new SD-WAN tools – as well as adopting appropriate service models for delivering them .
In light of this warning , Teneo is introducing managed SD-WAN , supported by Riverbed ’ s SteelConnect SD-WAN technology , that simplifies the processes for designing , deploying and managing distributed networks and streamlines network architecture modernisation .
This new type of global SD-WAN service , where expert providers such as Teneo manage tools on behalf of customers , provides a practical way for in-house IT teams to gain visibility of applications and capacity as they adopt more cloud services and hybrid networks and expand across borders .
Using the this service , hard-pressed network managers will be able to provision networks with several clicks and achieve end-to-end visibility of applications , infrastructure , networks and users – and drill down for root cause of performance issues , from a central point with 24x7 availability .

Retarus Boosts E-Mail Security Services
Retarus had added to the functions provided by its email security services with Patient Zero Detection , enabling companies to identify the recipients of previously unknown malware – the socalled ‘ patient zeros ’ – without delay . This allows administrators to react quickly and , in cases such as ransomware attacks , to avert substantial harm to the company .
Emails carrying known malware are already blocked reliably by means of Retarus email security ‘ s comprehensive filtering functions , before they can find their way into the IT infrastructure .
According to Kaspersky , the average cost incurred by enterprises which fall prey to such attacks is an astounding $ 551,000 . That ’ s why Patient Zero Detection also identifies dangerous emails containing previously unknown malware which have already been delivered . To facilitate this , a digital fingerprint is generated for all attachments as they are received .
The fingerprints are automatically compared with each other as soon as a virus scanner discovers malware in an identical attachment delivered to another recipient at a later point in time . If a match is found , Retarus immediately informs the responsible administrators and , optionally , all those who have already received the attachment .
