What to Look for When Evaluating Next-Generation Firewalls

Traditional firewalls fail to provide adequate security against today's threats. Next-generation firewalls provide greater protection, but because they are more complex, they are more difficult to evaluate. This paper summarizes the results of three independent tests conducted by Network World, ICSA Labs and NSS Labs comparing NGFW performance, cost and functionality. You'll get insights into what to look for when evaluating next-generation firewalls. The paper also provides links to the portions of the research that have been made public. Learn why not all next-generation firewalls offer the same level of protection and why Dell™ SonicWALL™ next-generation firewalls are critical to your organization's security.

IBM Storwize Family: Scaling Capabilities and Value

IBM has used the Storwize architecture to produce multiple storage systems across different usage segments to meet different customer needs. The ability to scale with a common underlying architecture has proven to deliver multiple benefits to IBM customers. Features developed for high-end enterprise systems now meet customer needs in other, more price conscious segments. The leverage from a common base for systems helps reduce development and support costs which are reflected in product costs for customers. The Storwize architecture also builds on Intel-based hardware, which provides continued advances with each new generation yet retains the same fundamental architecture. Read this paper to learn about the variety of system types in the Storwize family, including enterprise storage virtualization, storage systems, and storage integrated with servers helps to address diverse customer requirements with consistent function and ease of use.

The Advantage of Leasing IBM Storwize V700 Storage Systems

Robert Frances Group believes IT executives should be employing the new generation of storage solutions that offer advanced storage management capabilities, like the IBM Storwize V7000 storage systems, in their target system environments. In that the total cost of ownership (TCO) differential between leasing and purchasing is minimal although the first-year savings impact is substantial, IT executives should seriously consider leasing the storage. Management should understand the value proposition of storage leasing and work with their storage vendor or third party lessor to structure a package that best meets their business and financial strategy.

Storage: Economics Remains Crucial

IT managers and industry experts talk a lot about performance and capacity, but those are often only replacement terms for the real issue: economics. Storage decisions are only necessary because of economics - otherwise all data would be stored in main memory. With the data avalanche always looming and growing, two key trends are critical: simply storing less, and then tiering or caching what is ultimately stored.

Integrated Computing Platforms: Infrastructure Builds for Tomorrow’s Data Center

Prior to server virtualization, IT landscapes were plagued by server sprawl and underutilized capacity, which were brought on by data growth and the one-application, one-server requirement. In order to meet growing capacity demands, organizations added servers until that demand began to outstrip the ability to achieve economies of scale. Server virtualization provided a consolidation and cost-containment solution by fundamentally parsing hardware and software and dynamically allocating resources throughout the environment. Initially driven by its ability to deliver on these core use cases, server virtualization continues to guide IT and business strategy.
