Cloud Computing Evolution Applications Mobility SaaS IaaS PaaS WHY : IT is NOT my business nor my Expertise Users Mobility Mobility WHY: Cyberspace is the Real space, Be connected anywhere, everywhere
The Internet s Sole Objective Applications Enterprise Applications Users On Campus WAN In the Branch INTERNET At Home Internet Applications Connecting Users with Applications On the Road 6
What Enterprises are looking for Application Performance Improved performance of business applications Application and User Visibility Business level application & user monitoring, analytics Matching Resource Usage with Business Priorities Application, network & employee resource usage policy Network & Application Security Blocking of malicious or unauthorized application traffic Availability and Fast Service Restore Application and network capacity planning & troubleshooting Simplicity Easy resource usage policy deployment and intuitive visibility 7
Visibility QoS Control and Security starts with detailed End-to-End Visibility
Do you really know how your bandwidth is used? (There is HTTP and there is...http) Netflow like reports DPI-based IP Intelligence Others http (Port 80) Traffic is mostly HTTP based (even more with cloud) large differences between YouTube and Salesforce.com! 9
Allot Visibility Key Points NetEnforcer Reports can only be as good as data is Analyze ALL traffic / flows (not just samples) Each flow is classified as an application (from a Library) Application Volume Metering (30 secs interval) Very Rich Signature Library More than 800+entries Inc. Enterprise applications (e.g. MSFT 360, Citrix, etc.) Inc Anonymizers Inc. Possibility to define customized signatures (home-made applications) Frequent Signature Library Updates Major Release Every 6 to 8 weeks, Minor every 10-15 days Fully In-Service upgrade 10
Rich Reports set NetExplorer Providing a bird s eye view of all network activity Powerful yet easy to use tool (GUI) Available Reports: By Applications being used/consumed By Time By End Users (or Group of users) By Network / Topology Endpoints (e.g. Branch Office) Combined View (if multiple NE) / Single View (one NE at a time) Drill-Down capability 11
Rich Feature Set Turning network activity into meaningful information NetExplorer Real-time and historical usage reports Real-time data for troubleshooting Historical data for trend and behavior analysis User-Friendly Customize favorites dashboard Customer Filtered Views Export data to other systems for further Analysis Scheduling Capability 12
Control 13 QoS Control Protects Users Productivity, Ensures Application Experience and matches between resource allocation and the corporate objective
Well-Known Perfect Storms (e.g. Windows Update, Antivirus Update, etc...) Without Traffic Management With Traffic Management CRM application getting very slow, cannot use it!!!! Business as usual 14
Different Users - Different Needs - Same Service (e.g. Social Network Access) Human Resources Manufacturing Floor I need Facebook to check candidate profiles No Facebook access during working shifts 15
Allot offers multiple QoS Tools Max Bit Rate Min Bit Rate Steer Expedite Drop Buffer HTTP Redirect Swiss-army knife approach 16
For Enforcing Enterprise Policies Management Production HR Application awareness Business critical Regular office usage Leisure and non-work related User awareness Management / Employee Remote / Local Guests / Visitors Network awareness LAN/ WAN/ WiFi Secured/ Non-secured 17
Allot QoS Hierarchical Policy Structure Designed to meet enterprise requirements IT Manager Objective: Guarantee QoS for each branch Guarantee Internet Access Guarantee QoS for mission-critical applications Data Center (Milan) Milan Office Web, Email, VPN Servers Torino Office VOIP CRM/ERP WAN Rome Office 18
Allot QoS Hierarchical Policy Structure NetEnforcer 3-Level Hierarchical Policy Design PHYSICAL LINK (e.g. 100 Mbps LINE from ISP X) Internal Resources (Priority 1) Milan Office (20 Mbps MIN) Rome Office (20 Mbps MIN) Torino Office (10 Mbps MIN) Web&email CRM Web (Priority 4) Email CRM Web&email VoIP Internet Access (Priority 2) P2P (Blocked) Browsing Adult (Redirect) Facebook 19
Intuitive UI Policy Rule-Base Definition And it s litterarly just doing this... 20
Requires User Awareness MS/Active Directory, DHCP or Radius Integration User Login User IP - Policy Mapping IP Address AD Server SMP Top Users graphs Per User Usage graph NetExplorer Enforce usage - based on Employee Policy NetEnforcer Internet 21
Result: WAN Performance Management Prioritize applications to suit business needs Manage traffic to avoid congestion Constant monitoring of policy effectiveness & application performance Before Putting Network Intelligence to work: Create policies to maximize WAN performance After Bandwidth per regional office, real time 22
Security 23 Security Protects Users from malicious and improper Web content and protect your network from Denial of Service attacks
The evidence on cyber threats is staggering Malware Finding malware designed to hide in normal activity requires a platform that can point out the differences between normal machine and human behaviors verses malware BYOD More devices are potential participants in malware propagation and botnet-based attacks. The enemy is everywhere DDoS attacks DDoS attack tools and services are openly sold and botnets can be rented through such common channels as YouTube Exposure footprint The cloud is becoming another computing location for a growing number of organizations
