Heavy Networking 700: Rethinking Networking and Security For The Campus And Branch With Fortinet (Sponsored)

On today's sponsored Heavy Networking we talk with Fortinet about how it converges network and security across the breadth of its portfolio. Fortinet is best known for its firewalls, but the company also offers campus and branch switches, has a wireless portfolio, offers SD-WAN and SASE, provides AI-supported operations, and more. We also talk about Fortinet's approach to the branch office that rethinks networking, security, and performance.

Cisco software targets enterprise cloud security, risk assessment

Cisco is adding a security module to its observability platform that promises to help enterprises assess threat risks and protect cloud-based resources.The Cisco Secure Application module, available now, is part of the vendor’s Full Stack Observability (FSO) platform, which is designed to correlate data from application, networking, infrastructure, security, and cloud domains to make it easier for customers to spot anomalies, preempt and address performance problems, and improve threat mitigation.FSO is designed to make intelligent use of metrics, events, logs and traces. With it, organizations can consolidate to fewer tools, collect data from any source, correlate information, and enable AI-driven analysis to predict and prevent problems, Cisco said at the FSO launch event in June.  To read this article in full, please click here

Global internet health check and network outage report

The reliability of services delivered by ISPs, cloud providers and conferencing services (such as unified communications-as-a-service) is critical for enterprise organizations. ThousandEyes monitors how providers are handling any performance challenges and provides Network World with a weekly roundup of interesting events that impact service delivery. Read on to see the latest analysis, and stop back next week for another update. Additional details available here.Internet report for September 4-10 ThousandEyes reported 184 global network outage events across ISPs, cloud service provider networks, collaboration app networks and edge networks (including DNS, content delivery networks, and security as a service) during the week of September 4-10. That’s up 12% from 164 outage events the week prior. Specific to the U.S., outages climbed from 66 to 91, an increase of 38%.

BrandPost: What do music and SD-WAN have in common?

By: Nav Chander, Head of Service Provider SD-WAN/SASE Product Marketing at HPE Aruba Networking.This is part 2 of a 3-part blog series on SD-WAN, SSE, and multi-cloud networking (MCN), where we will highlight how these 3 technology areas are analogous to 3 different musical instruments that can be played separately. The first blog focused on MCN, and this blog focuses on SD-WAN technology.So, let’s first explore our second instrument the guitar, an instrument which will symbolize SD-WAN, an important foundation for building a modern enterprise WAN network that supports secure connectivity and high performance for business applications. The macro driver of SD-WAN is the digital transformation effort worldwide which is manifested by enabling an efficient, cloud-first IT strategy.To read this article in full, please click here

Are HDDs greener than SSDs?

Here’s a wrinkle in corporate environmental efforts. Futurum Research is backing a recently published academic paper that suggests hard disk drives (HDD) could be greener than solid state drives (SSD) when taking into consideration the manufacturing process.The paper in question is called “The Dirty Secret of SSDs: Embodied Carbon” and was published last year by Swamit Tannu, computer science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Prashant J. Nair, an assistant computer science professor at the University of British Columbia.The paper states that the biggest carbon emissions happen at the time of manufacture, with production of SSDs generating much more carbon than disk drives of equal capacity.To read this article in full, please click here

HS055: Cloud Is Not The Only Future

A special guest today, Keith Townsend joins Johna Greg to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing compared to on-premises infrastructure. We start by clarifying the definition of cloud and emphasizing the significance of software-defined infrastructure and automation in on-premises data centers. Keith shares his perspective on hybrid infrastructure and making the case for a combination of on-premises and off-premises resources as the future of enterprise IT.

Intel partners with former acquisition target Tower Semiconductor

Weeks after Intel’s proposed $5.4 billion acquisition of Israel-based Tower Semiconductor fell apart, the two firms announced plans for Intel to provide foundry services to its former acquisition target.As part of the deal, Tower will invest up to $300 million to acquire and own equipment and other fixed assets at Intel’s New Mexico fabrication plant. Tower will eventually have a capacity of over 600,000 photo layers per month to manufacture its analog CMOS chips.Tower already owns fabs in Israel, the U.S., and Japan, and it plans to launch in Italy soon. But the existing fabs create 200 mm wafers. The New Mexico facility will create 300 mm wafers, increasing production quantity.To read this article in full, please click here
