Two Approaches To Network Optimization At RSA
It’s a given that as networks expand, as more performance demands are placed on them, and as security protections are required, complexity grows. One approach to tackling that complexity is with what’s called network intelligence optimization, in which a fabric layer sits between the infrastructure layer — the routers and switches — and the network intelligence layer — for tools such as intrusion detection systems (IDS), application monitoring, advanced threat protection, etc. — and knits them all together. At the RSA Conference 2012 this week in San Francisco, two companies are introducing network optimization solutions. While both are hardware appliances, one product is targeted at enterprises, while the other is targeted at the small-to-medium business (SMB) market.
