The QLogic 8000 products are the first available FCoE converged network adapters (CNAs) Munich, August 8, 2008 – QLogic provides adapters (CNAs) 8000-family with the converged network worldwide the first Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) CNAs out. In Germany, the solutions available currently in two variants on the authorized partner (www.qlogic.com/… / WhereToBuyQLogicResults… can ) be obtained. To make a quick breakthrough on the market of fibre channel over Ethernet (FCoE) technology, the SAN infrastructure specialist launched numerous other activities. According to KBS, who has experience with these questions. Together with Cisco QLogic company now offers an FCoE package, 8000 CNAs is composed from the nexus 5000 family switches and the QLogic. The usage facilitates IT managers the benefits of new technology for the company to check depth. Moreover, QLogic called that NETtrack FCoE interoperability program, whereby solutions for use in data and storage networks thoroughly on their Tests for compatibility.

Goal is to certify a range before the availability of FCoE storage solutions with the respective manufacturers. The converged network adapters (CNAs) the QLogic 8000 series which converged network adapters (CNAs) the QLogic 8000 range are specifically for use in the virtualized, data centers of next-generation unified developed operated high-performance multiprocessor and multicore servers. The dual-port solutions are optimized for data – as well as for the Speichernetzwerkvirtualisierung and offer the power with a data rate of 10 Gigabit Ethernet to operate a large number of virtual machines. The integration of the QLogic 8000 CNAs in the infrastructure of data centers creates nine consolidation opportunities, as server are connected with both the LAN and the FC SAN. Reduced cabling, power, and cooling requirements, as less active components must be used. This reduces the TCO (total cost of) Ownership or short TCO).

APSEC accesses protection recommendation of the Federal Interior Ministry for the middle-class economic espionage has developed into a serious threat for German companies. The protection of the Constitution report 2009 presented the Minister of the Interior Thomas de Maiziere in Berlin comes to this conclusion. Therefore recommends the applied security GmbH (apsec) use of an encryption solution. Stockstadt am Main, June 23, 2010 – economic protection is now one of the main tasks of the Federal Office for protection of the Constitution, according to the Minister. Similar to how the privacy he is often underestimated. Particularly dangerous for German companies: attacks on networks and computer systems.

For counter-intelligence, the Federal Government is therefore on the cooperation of all security authorities and the relevant ministries. Especially the companies would have to use but appropriate protection measures, to make access to the efforts of the Federal Government. The efficiency of these measures is to a large extent the willingness for constructive participation of the companies determined, the Minister stressed. Most technologically innovative companies are a major target group of espionage. Therefore, it is important to raise associated risk. Because in small and medium-sized enterprises is too often not a pronounced risk awareness. Inadequately protected corporate networks and worry-free W-LAN settings had emerged as the main problems.

Network monitoring tasks are extensive and diverse Nuremberg, June 29, 2011 the software PRTG network monitor (www.de.paessler.com) at an early stage shows irregularities in the network administrators and provides detailed real-time data about the current state of all devices. As a recent customer survey shows the manufacturer’s PRTG-Paessler AG, network monitoring, and in particular the monitoring of virtualized environments is becoming increasingly important. VMware sensors is more than half of the 724 respondents regularly to monitor their virtual server of a tendency rising. Only SNMP and WMI sensors are still widely used. One of the main reasons for the use of PRTG is and remains the enormous time savings at the network management according to the users.

Around 90% of respondents indicated that significantly save time resources using the PRTG in network management, 43% were more than three hours per week. The trend of last year, the software as an additional instance of the security and to employ early warning system has been confirmed once again. Around 80% see also network monitoring in addition to the usual security tools as a reliable method, early detection of attacks from the outside. The 96% the most important task of the system continues to be the uptime / downtime monitoring according to the respondents, and this applies particularly to virtualized systems. More than half use regularly VMware sensors of the Virtualisierungstrend in companies continues. The results show that the network monitoring study conducted.

Around two-thirds of respondents a professional network monitoring is a prerequisite for the proper functioning of the virtual environment. 51% regularly use VMware sensors, over 20% use other sensors for virtual systems. A recent study by technavio confirms that the requirements will increase to real-time monitoring solutions to monitor cloud based applications and virtualized environments. We have this trend “early recognition and deliver with PRTG various native sensors for different cloud and virtualization”, so Dirk Paessler, development officer of Paessler AG.

RoboMap simplifies information management for equipment and reduced maintenance time by robots and systems Grosskollnbach, 01.09.2010. RoboMap offers the software manufacturer CSP GmbH & co. KG, Grosskollnbach, specifically for the maintenance. RoboMap connects information from different areas around the equipment administration and reduces the downtime. The flexible solution allows companies to define the relevant information of a piece of equipment.

These include, for example, serial number, purchase order number, mounted arm extension as well as played a version of the software, fixed assigned IP addresses, location and further knowledge from the maintenance with a robot. The equipment information can be so very much easier to manage than ERP systems, which are extended to fields for maintenance. In practice, these systems often come to their limits, if more information should be stored. Then be faced with the choice: either hire a costly extension or on a stop-gap solution use to store information in fields, which are so far unused. Both delayed the exchange of information for a quick maintenance of Assembly experience. In RoboMap, the user, however, enter all the information in a concise form and can also easily filter them. If still no field is defined for a piece of information, the administrator can define afterwards just a new field without programming effort. This approach enables a comprehensive flow of information for all those involved and is a prerequisite for a quick maintenance.

Companies shorten the downtime of the plant in the long term through better exchange of information. Total capacity can utilized significantly better, without increasing the organizational effort itself. An extended ERP system is not always useful for maintenance. Because there, the requirements are very specific, it is easier for the user when new properties are entered by own administrators can”, describes Heike Johannes, product manager RoboMap, the requirements of the practice. Otherwise, budgets for software adaptation must be provided constantly.
