Citrix Branch Repeater 6 Brings Service-centric WAN Optimization to the Cloud Era

 

Citrix Branch Repeater 6 Brings Service-centric WAN Optimization to the Cloud Era

SmartAcceleration Technology Gives Organizations Unparalleled Visibility and Control Over Networks and Services – Desktops, Apps, Multimedia and More

LAS VEGAS – May 10, 2011 – Citrix Systems, Inc. today announced Branch Repeater™ 6, a market-leading wide-area network (WAN) optimization solution that offers unique SmartAcceleration technology to transform WAN optimization from a network-centric infrastructure to a service-centric solution.  As a result, branch office users can enjoy a brilliantly fast experience for the increasing range of services delivered from both public and private clouds, including virtual desktops and apps, web and Windows apps, multi-media, voice, video and more. At the same time, IT can now prioritize these optimizations by user or service, reducing costs and giving them far more control.

      The explosive new trends in consumerization, mobility, desktop virtualization and cloud computing are driving the transformation of network-centric WAN optimization technologies into service-centric solutions.  As companies witness paradigm shifts in virtual computing, cloud computing, mobility and video, the way information is created and where it is consumed are fundamentally changing.  Network traffic is exploding with a mix of traffic, originating from different sources – datacenters, cloud and branch offices – and delivered to a variety of devices used by mobile, remote and branch office workers. These trends require a new and holistic approach to optimizing and accelerating the delivery of all services regardless of where they are delivered from and where the users are located, going beyond network-centric optimizations to a service-centric optimization era.

 

Facts and Highlights

The new SmartAcceleration technology in Branch Repeater 6 enables several key benefits:

·         Prioritize by User or Service: SmartAcceleration technology provides intelligent and adaptive mechanisms to guarantee quality of service (QoS) and experience (QoE) by enabling IT with a set of tools for holistic service delivery management:  these tools assess network traffic patterns and usage, classify apps and services traffic, control bandwidth consumption and protect delay-sensitive apps using granular policies, monitor network congestion and delays affecting user experience, and remediate those problems quickly to minimize support calls. SmartAcceleration enables IT with the flexibility to classify and prioritize optimizations by application location, branch location, user location, user groups, application type, protocol, traffic direction, and more.

·         Deep Visibility: Smart Acceleration offers unique, deep visibility and control across a broad range of services – more than 500 apps and protocols.  This control includes, but is not limited to, native and virtual apps and desktops, audio, video, Microsoft apps, web apps and more.

·         User-centric Virtual Desktop Prioritization:  SmartAcceleration is the first and only technology able to prioritize virtual desktops and apps by user groups, allowing IT to accelerate the delivery differently for different user groups, determined by their business policies.

·         Faster Encrypted Email and File Transfers: Layer 7 optimizations are supported including Microsoft email (Encrypted MAPI & Exchange 2010) and Microsoft file servers (SMBv2, Signed SMB v1/v2).

Quotes

Jim Frey, Managing Research Director, Enterprise Management Associates (EMA)

“Cloud, virtualization and smarter mobile devices are pushing the network outside the traditional branch office and extending it beyond traditional LAN/WAN boundaries.  The challenge for IT departments is to find ways to deliver applications to end users wherever they are and however they are accessing their data.  The problem is that corporate network bandwidth is not infinite.  The more fine-tuned control that IT departments can obtain over their application delivery, especially on the WAN links, the better they will be able to ensure the end users they support will get efficient and effective access to the applications and services they need most.  Citrix is taking their WAN optimization solution, Branch Repeater, and continuing to build it into the fabric of an overall application delivery solution, making it easier for IT departments to meet the growing demands of the new virtual work environment.”

 

Troy Trenchard, Group Vice President and General Manager, Security and Acceleration Product Group, Citrix Systems, Inc.

“Consumerization, mobility and cloud computing continue to drive the industry to evolve network-centric optimization technologies from the PC era to a service-centric optimization architecture of the Cloud era.  Branch Repeater 6, with new SmartAcceleration technologies, facilitates IT’s journey from the PC era to the Cloud era, enabling IT teams to bring hi-def desktops, apps and multi-media to millions of branch office users.”

McAfee Helps Build Secure Bridge to the Cloud

 

McAfee Helps Build Secure Bridge to the Cloud

New McAfee Cloud Security Platform Offers Additional Security
Capabilities from McAfee and Intel

Santa Clara, Calif. - May 9, 2011 - McAfee today announced the McAfee
Cloud Security Platform, an innovative new approach to helping
organizations safely and efficiently take advantage of cloud computing.
The new platform achieves this by securing all content and data traffic
- including email, web and identity traffic - moving between an
organization and the cloud.

“Once you move data or applications to the cloud, you essentially
lose most - if not all - of your security visibility, which most
organizations find unacceptable,” said Marc Olesen, senior vice
president and general manager, content and cloud security at McAfee.
“By securing the data and traffic before it travels to or through
the cloud, we help businesses extend their security practices and
policies into the cloud.”

One Platform, Multiple Security Modules
The McAfee Cloud Security Platform delivers security through highly
integrated, modular solutions that protect both inbound and outbound
traffic moving between the enterprise and the public cloud. Today, the
platform offers the following modules:
●       Web Security - McAfee Web Security provides bi-directional
protection for both incoming and outgoing web traffic through proactive
reputation- and intent-based protection.
●       Mobile Security - Web traffic generated by smart phones and
tablets can be directed through the McAfee Web Gateway using standard
device management. This ensures that mobile devices are secured with
advanced anti-malware protection and corporate web filtering policies.
●       Cloud Access Control - The Intel® Expressway Cloud Access 360
helps an enterprise or cloud provider to provide comprehensive access
control for cloud applications using enterprise identities.
●       Email Security - McAfee Email Security delivers total email
protection, integrating comprehensive inbound threat protection with
outbound data loss prevention.
●       Web Services Security - The Intel® Expressway Service Gateway
offloads application level API security, data transformation, REST to
SOAP mediation, and identity token exchange to a high speed gateway at
the network edge or in the cloud.

Another key aspect of ensuring cloud security is making sure
organizations identify data that should or should not be moved to the
cloud. Using McAfee’s Data Loss Prevention solution, an organization
can first understand where its data resides, classify that data in terms
of importance or sensitivity, build policies to protect that data and
then enforce those policies while data travels within or outside the
organization to the cloud.
McAfee Data Loss Prevention discovers data no matter where it resides
or what format it is in on the network, giving the enterprise the rich
data mining tools required to deliver effective protection and the
creation of more effective policies that work quickly. Centralized
management and reporting is also provided through integration with the
McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator platform.

On-premises, SaaS or Hybrid
The security modules can be deployed as an on-premises appliance,
Software-as-a-Service solution or a hybrid of both. This provides
organizations the flexibility and coverage to protect their
headquarters, regional offices and even remote workers using mobile
devices.
Regardless of the deployment form factor, the solutions can be

centrally managed through the ePolicy Orchestrator platform or the
McAfee SaaS Control Console. Additionally, the platform and modules are
powered by McAfee Global Threat Intelligence, which leverages the cloud
with millions of sensors and hundreds of threat researchers worldwide to
deliver real-time - and even predictive - threat intelligence against
all known and emerging threats.

Open API and Additional Security Modules
Using the platform’s built-in Application Programming Interface
(API), McAfee aims to deploy additional security modules in the coming
months to provide even greater and deeper cloud protection. This may
include a variety of solutions, such as tools that can provide greater
granular control over popular social media sites.

each of its individual security modules, visit

CA Technologies to Deliver Backup and Recovery Solution Using Microsoft’s Windows Azure Cloud Platform

Software-as-a-Service Offering to Meet Growing Global Demand for Rapidly Deployable, Subscription-Based Data Protection Solutions

ISLANDIA, N.Y., May 10, 2011– CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced an agreement with Microsoft to offer customers its industry-leading CA ARCserve® data protection technology as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering using Microsoft’s Windows Azure™ cloud platform.

CA Technologies Enables Logicalis UK to Deliver Flexible, Efficient, and Cost-effective Cloud Computing Services

CA Technologies Enables Logicalis UK to Deliver Flexible, Efficient, and Cost-effective Cloud Computing Services 

 

Multiple CA Technologies Solutions Help Ensure the Delivery and Operational Performance of Logicalis UK’s Cooperative Enterprise Cloud Service

 

ISLANDIA, N.Y. and Slough, UK, May 3, 2011 – CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced that Logicalis UK, part of Logicalis, the international IT and Communications (ICT) solutions integrator, uses the company’s IT management and automation solutions to manage the delivery and performance of its award-winning Cooperative Enterprise Cloud Service.

 

CA Technologies service automation, service assurance, and energy and sustainability management solutions are instrumental in Logicalis UK’s ability to offer customers agile, low-risk, efficient and cost-effective cloud services.

 

Logicalis UK recently invested £7.3 million in a new data center, which sits at the heart of its cloud-based offerings. The state-of-the-art facility is designed to offer high-density computing, with capacity for 2,500 virtual machines in a single rack. The Cooperative Enterprise Cloud Service, which offers private clouds hosted at its data center, dedicated on-site private clouds, Infrastructure-as-a-Service, and Application-as-a-Service, is built on Cisco’s Unified Computing System (UCS), NetApp storage, and CA Technologies IT management tools. Logicalis selected the CA Technologies solutions for the company’s product capabilities and expertise in managing complex cloud environments.

 

“Our aim is to offer customers cloud services that are aligned to their business needs, easy to understand, and involve minimal risk,” said Chris Gabriel, marketing director, Logicalis UK. “This means using leading technologies and specifying service level agreements that can actually be met. CA Technologies expertise in developing, managing, and securing cloud environments helps enable our customers to take maximum advantage of this economical approach to IT service delivery while supporting our business growth.” 

 

“Logicalis UK is a great example of how a cloud provider can maximize the efficiencies of its cloud services with CA Technologies solutions to deliver the agility and performance that customers demand,” said Dave Hansen, general manager, Enterprise Solutions and Cloud Management, CA Technologies. “We’re proud of the success Logicalis UK has shown using Cisco UCS, NetApp and CA Technologies as the core of its cloud offering.”

                                      

A dynamic, virtual, and automated environment

When the Cooperative Enterprise Cloud Service was launched, Logicalis UK needed to maximize its data center investment by achieving rapid customer adoption, consistent service levels and exceptional agility. By leveraging the stateless computing capabilities of Cisco UCS in tandem with CA Automation Suite for Data Centers, Logicalis UK is able to quickly provision customer cloud environments and transition workloads between virtual servers based on demand and capacity.

 

“Using CA Automation Suite for Data Centers to create an infrastructure that is inherently dynamic, virtual, and automated, we can move large corporate applications such as Oracle and SAP between servers in as little as seven minutes,” noted Gabriel.

 

Assuring service quality

While CA Automation Suite for Data Centers enables rapid deployment and migration of workloads across the cloud infrastructure, CA Spectrum® Infrastructure Manager and CA eHealth® Performance Manager proactively manage the performance and availability of the service delivery infrastructure — and the traffic it delivers. The ability of these products to provide 24x7 infrastructure monitoring; automated alerts to potential performance problems; automated, model-based root cause analysis; and historical and real-time reporting helps Logicalis UK maintain high quality of service levels for customers.

 

Enhancing data center energy efficiency

Logicalis UK deployed CA ecoSoftware to help measure, manage and reduce the consumption of power in the data center. CA ecoSoftware enables Logicalis UK to collect and analyze data from points throughout the data center to provide detailed real-time insight into energy use and efficiency. It supplies status, alerting and management information to increase the reliability of operations. In addition, CA ecoSoftware helps enable Logicalis UK to provide customers with more accurate data center efficiency metrics and energy billings, both of which have become increasingly important when providing cloud computing services. CA ecoSoftware also helps Logicalis UK identify inefficient power use, which can significantly reduce unnecessary electricity costs, make better use of available power capacity, and mitigate the carbon footprint associated with data center operations.

 

“Data centers are massive power consumers, so it is vital that we do what we can to reduce energy usage and help our customers to do the same,” added Gabriel. “The cloud has great potential for energy efficiency, but power still needs to be measured and managed. Customers also may have to comply with the UK’s Carbon Reduction Commitment, so helping them with environmental governance is an important part of our cloud-based services. Having a partner like CA Technologies helps smooth this transition and minimize risk.”
