 <title>NCP Engineering Solves &#039;IPsec-Hostile&#039; Remote Access Environments</title>
 <link>http://astaro.ulitzer.com/node/1321045</link>
 <description>NCP engineering (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ncp-e.com&quot; title=&quot;http://www.ncp-e.com&quot;&gt;http://www.ncp-e.com&lt;/a&gt;) today announced a breakthrough in
remote access, with a solution to the complex network connectivity issues
created by firewall settings that prevent IPsec communication. The company&#039;s
Path Finder technology ensures users are able to establish a secure
connection to the corporate network from any remote location, granting full
IPsec VPN access and policy enforcement-without compromising productivity or
security. The user simply logs onto the local network, as they would any
other, and connects to the corporate network without delay or the need to
change settings. Further, local network security is never compromised,
ensuring both corporate and public security policies are followed.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://astaro.ulitzer.com/node/1321045&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>NCP Engineering löser problemet med &quot;IPsec-fientliga&quot; fjärråtkomstmiljöer</title>
 <link>http://astaro.ulitzer.com/node/1320958</link>
 <description>NCP engineering (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ncp-e.com&quot; title=&quot;http://www.ncp-e.com&quot;&gt;http://www.ncp-e.com&lt;/a&gt;) meddelade idag ett genombrott 
inom fjärråtkomst, med en lösning på de komplexa problemen med 
nätverksuppkoppling som skapas av brandväggsinställningar som förhindrar 
IPsec-kommunikation. Företagets stigfinnarteknologi &quot;Path Finder&quot; ser till 
att användare kan skapa en säker förbindelse till företagets nätverk från 
vilken avlägsen plats som helst, som ger fullständigt VPN-åtkomst och 
policytillämpning för IPsec - utan att äventyra produktiviteten eller 
säkerheten. Användaren loggar helt enkelt in på det lokala nätverket, som på 
vilket nätverk som helst, och kopplar upp sig mot företagets nätverk utan 
fördröjning och utan att man måste ändra några inställningar. Således 
äventyras aldrig det lokala nätverkets säkerhet, och både företagets och de 
offentliga säkerhetspolicyerna följs.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://astaro.ulitzer.com/node/1320958&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>NCP Engineering løser problemet &#039;IPsec-fjendtlige&#039; remote access miljøer</title>
 <link>http://astaro.ulitzer.com/node/1320957</link>
 <description>NCP Engineering (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ncp-e.com&quot; title=&quot;http://www.ncp-e.com&quot;&gt;http://www.ncp-e.com&lt;/a&gt;) annoncerede i dag et gennembrud
inden for remote access med en løsning af komplekse problemer med
netværksopkobling, opstået ved firewall-indstillinger, som forhindrer
IPsec-kommunikation. Selskabets Path Finder-teknologi sikrer, at brugere kan
oprette en sikker forbindelse til virksomhedsnetværket fra enhver remote
lokation med fuld IPsec VPN-adgang og håndhævelsespolitik - uden at gå på
kompromis med produktivitet eller sikkerhed. Brugeren logger blot på det
lokale netværk som på ethvert andet og kobler sig op til virksomhedsnetværket
uden forsinkelse eller krav om at ændre indstillinger. Det lokale netværk
bliver aldrig bragt i fare, samtidig med at det sikres, at både virksomhedens
og den offentlige sikkerhedspolitik bliver overholdt.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://astaro.ulitzer.com/node/1320957&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Is There Still Innovation For IT and Storage?</title>
 <link>http://astaro.ulitzer.com/node/1201399</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Is the IT industry and specifically,  storage and networking segments currently lacking from innovation? The answer  to that question exists in part due to what your definition or view of  innovation is and how it is measured.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By some &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.itworldcanada.com/a/Daily-News/8aff9b45-f5ff-42da-8e37-f3afc72c2c81.html&quot;&gt;definitions&lt;/a&gt;, innovation is defined by how many startups exists as was the case in the late  90s and early 2000s when there was a large number of startup companies  involving Fibre Channel, iSCSI, NAS, SRM, CDP, Backup, Compliance and Archiving  among others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Several bloggers have recently made  posts about what is or what is not innovative as well as how previous innovate  hype may have led to showing up on the not so hot or where are they now lists.  Some examples can be found &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.netapp.com/shadeofblue/2008/11/bottom-ten-yet.html&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;,  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&amp;articleId=9124160&amp;source=rss_topic19&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://storagebod.typepad.com/storagebods_blog/2008/11/standing-on-the-shoulders-of-giants.html&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://storagearchitect.blogspot.com/2008/11/innovation.html&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.storagerap.com/2008/11/top-10-storage-innovations.html&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.storagerap.com/2008/11/top-10-storage-innovations.html&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; among others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3Leaf, 4blox, Astaro, Attrato, Autovirt,  Axxana, Candera, Caringo, Cassatt, Cleaversafe, Code42, Continuity, Cyberark, Digitalocular,  Drobo, Fisec, FusionIO, Fusionio, Greenbytes, Iosafe, Monospehere, Moonwalk, Neptuney,  Netrion, Nextio, Nirvanix, Numonyx, Ocarina, Open-e, Parrascale, Piviot3, Pliant,  Racemi, ScaleMP, Seanodes, Stormagic, Storwize, Tarmin, Violin, Woven, XIV and Xsigo among others constantly show up in my inbox making announcements or preparing to launch, some have been around longer than others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are also several startups that are still either in stealth mode or preferring to keep a low profile for now. How does this compare to what we saw in the storage and networking industry during the late 90s and early 2000s, certainly not the same number or amount of money  being spent on marketing startups, however there are still startup companies to  fill the void left from M&amp;amp;A as well as to address new opportunities  including in the converged storage, networking and server sectors as well as  virtualization.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Look, here&#039;s my point, vendors have  been innovating and even more impotently, executing and delivering on prior  hype and innovation with scalable and stable solutions. What of established  companies such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://aws.amazon.com/s3/&quot;&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt; and their &lt;a href=&quot;http://aws.amazon.com/s3/&quot;&gt;S3&lt;/a&gt; cloud solution are innovative or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.emc.com&quot;&gt;EMC&lt;/a&gt; with  their cloud optimized storage aka &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.emc.com/products/detail/software/atmos.htm&quot;&gt;Atmos&lt;/a&gt; are innovative? How about &lt;a href=&quot;http://sun.com&quot;&gt;Sun&lt;/a&gt; with  their open source based solutions are those innovate for the industry or for  the vendor?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As for technologies and techniques,  which are innovative or evolutionary, that depends, however some candidates include  among others:&lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;FLASH and RAM based SSD, both as component  devices for installation into laptop, desktop and servers as well as into storage  systems&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;li&gt; Standalone SSD storage systems with Fibre Channel, SAS and SATA interfaces.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Innovations for FLASH include write performance optimization and wear leveling to boost  endurance and reliability&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and converged  enhanced Ethernet (CEE) or Data Center Ethernet (DCE)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;If you prefer Cisco  version leveraging enhanced, premium loss-less and low latency Ethernet for  converged networking.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;PCI-SIG Single-Root (SR) and Multi-Root (MR) I/O  virtualization.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Incremental enhancements including SAS shifting  from 3GB to 6GB including switched SAS&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;40 GbE along with 100 GbE, 8 GbE Fibre  Channel along with enhanced InfiniBand and enhanced NFS V4.x&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Cloud based servers and solutions for internal (private)  and public (services) use.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Clustered storage and clustered file systems  including object based access&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Cross technology domain and infrastructure resource management (IRM) tools to support virtual environments&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What�s your take, is there still  innovation taking place in storage and networking, or, is it all just hype and execution  delivering on prior hype?&lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;What is innovation and how to measure it?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;What is the  value prop of an innovate solution that makes it a viable solution?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Does  innovation have to be adopted to be considered innovative?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Who is innovating  and who is executing?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers - gs&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://astaro.ulitzer.com/node/1201399&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
