Lancope to Host Webinar on Leveraging NetFlow to Monitor Virtual Networks
Monitoring virtual networks via flow data greatly improves security, compliance, network and application performance
ATLANTA, May 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Lancope, Inc., a leader in flow-based security, network and application performance monitoring, will host a complimentary webinar on Tuesday, May 17, at 11:00 a.m. ET/8:00 a.m. PT. The webinar will focus on how organizations can leverage NetFlow™ and other flow data to effectively monitor virtual infrastructure for improved network and application performance, security and compliance. To register for the event, please visit: http://www.lancope.com/news-events/webinars/netflow-for-virtual-network-monitoring/.
Gartner has estimated that by 2013, the cloud market will be at $150 billion, and 60 percent of server workloads will be virtualized. Virtualization delivers many benefits including lower hardware maintenance and energy costs, recovered data center floor space, higher availability, reduced disaster recovery costs, faster server deployments, maximized server capacity and increased flexibility for development and testing environments.
However, with virtual environments comes diminished network visibility, leading to major challenges for monitoring and securing networks. The inability to conduct precise response time management and root cause analysis, lack of virtual machine (VM) accounting, hidden VM2VM communications and unknown VM security postures are just some of the challenges that put virtual environments at risk. These factors greatly complicate problem identification and resolution, potentially erasing the cost savings associated with virtualization.
To maintain a high-performance, secure infrastructure, organizations must manage and protect their virtual environments the same way as their physical networks. By collecting and analyzing NetFlow and other flow data from existing routers and switches, Lancope's StealthWatch provides the in-depth, actionable insight required to troubleshoot a full spectrum of issues across both physical and virtual networks. For areas of the network such as virtualized environments that do not inherently support NetFlow, Lancope offers the StealthWatchFlowSensor™.
Through a combination of behavioral analysis and direct packet inspection, the FlowSensor VE (virtual edition) gathers critical data from virtual environments and generates flow records that can be analyzed for performance statistics and anomalous behavior. Unifying security, network and application performance monitoring in a single platform, StealthWatch eliminates network blind spots and dramatically reduces the time from problem onset to resolution, at a fraction of the cost of other solutions.
