Magic Quadrant for Network Access Control

Publisher's description

Network infrastructure, endpoint protection and network security vendors are increasingly adding NAG features to their solutions, helping the overall NAC market to mature. Several point solutions persist, with some continuing to provide differentiated value. Because Network Access Control (NAC) is an embedded feature of so many network and security components, enterprises should look first within their existing vender base to evaluate NAC solutions. Enterprises should be sure to broaden their search to include point solutions or other embedded NAC solutions that may be a better fit for their future NAC plans. Long-term planning is critical, because most organizations plan to phase In NAC as they progress through multiple usage cases (for example, guest networking, endpoint base lining and identity-aware networking).

Holcim Uses Network Optimization to Manage Supply Chain Risk and Optimize Costs

Holcim U.S. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Holcim of Switzerland. Over the last few years, where demand has outstripped supply, managing make-versus-buy decisions is also a key decision that needs to be regularly revisited as demand plans are updated. To support this type of analysis, Holcim recognized the value of purchasing and leveraging a network design tool and bringing model-building and analysis skills in-house. Holcim is also looking to use network design to help determine the carbon footprint of its supply chain. The first phase of the project is to add the necessary data to the model, and to determine CO2 emissions for certain network configurations. Subsequent phases will look to optimize/reduce CO2 levels.
