Why Your Firewall, VPN, and IEEE 802.11i Aren't Enough to Protect Your Network

Publisher's description
Like any network technology, Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) need to be protected from security threats. Though recent developments in IEEE standards have been designed to help ensure privacy for authenticated WLAN users, WLAN clients and enterprise infrastructure can still be vulnerable to a variety of threats that are unique to WLANs. Mischievous hackers may try to attack the network, or a negligent employee may create a security breach that leaves the corporate WLAN or a client device vulnerable to attack. With a comprehensive approach to WLAN security, an Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDS/IPS) for WLANs adds to IEEE standards-based technology and wired network security mechanisms.

As storage and network administrators continue to deploy more IO intensive tier-1 applications, powerful servers to support these applications, and virtualized environments to consolidate resources, the ability to deliver true end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) becomes increasingly important within an enterprise-class data center to meet the committed Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The purpose of this document is to explain the technical and business benefits of deploying QoS across a Fibre Channel (FC) network infrastructure for both non-virtualized and virtualized environments. HP B-series FC Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) combined with a new FOS license called Server Application Optimization (SAO) extends hardware enforced QoS capabilities from the fabric to the server infrastructure, optimizing application performance.

When Delta Air Lines first began using rudimentary SOA software tools it quickly realized benefits, including a 25% re-use rate for services. Delta moved to web services; this triggered a decision to migrate to a more sophisticated approach to SOA as well. The airline selected TIBCO ActiveMatrix as its SOA platform, and HP SOA Systinet for its SOA governance and registry solution. Although Delta Air Lines was confident in the capabilities of the software it purchased, it also recognized that it needed more than software. So Delta decided to bring HP professional consulting on-site to set up a SOA Center of Excellence.
