DataCore is also extending the scope of<br />
its services, announcing that DataCore<br />
Cloud Replication software solutions are<br />
now available in the Microsoft Azure<br />
Marketplace. Designed to support disaster<br />
recovery efforts, customers with onpremises<br />
deployments of SANsymphony<br />
software-defined storage and Hyper-converged<br />
Virtual SAN can now use the<br />
Microsoft Azure cloud as an added replication<br />
location, to help safeguard highly<br />
available systems.<br />
Interest and application of Artificial<br />
Intelligence (AI) is rapidly growing across<br />
many aspects of the IT landscape.<br />
Provider of cloud-enabled security and<br />
data protection solutions Barracuda<br />
Networks has recently announced<br />
Barracuda Sentinel, a comprehensive AI<br />
solution for real-time spear phishing and<br />
cyber fraud defence. It is delivered as a<br />
cloud service and utilises artificial intelligence<br />
to protect people, businesses and<br />
brands from spear phishing, impersonation<br />
attempts, and business email compromise<br />
and cyber fraud.<br />
Asaf Cidon, VP of content security services<br />
at Barracuda Networks said, "Spear<br />
phishing is rampant. It's no longer just<br />
the large enterprises or C-suite that need<br />
to be on high alert: everyone is a target.<br />
We see novel combinations of highly<br />
personalised tactics including spoofing<br />
your domain, impersonating your CEO<br />
and engaging in convincing conversations<br />
with employees. In today's dynamic<br />
threat environment, the best defence<br />
includes a combination of people and<br />
technology. Barracuda Sentinel leverages<br />
artificial intelligence to give customers -<br />
people - a comprehensive way to stop<br />
spear phishing and cyber fraud attacks in<br />
real time."<br />
Scaling network monitoring infrastructure<br />
is an essential aspect of network<br />
provisioning. To help with this endeavour,<br />
NetScout has launched a software-driven<br />
addition to its nGenius Packet Flow<br />
System (PFS) product family. The nGenius<br />
PFS 5000 models deliver a new packet<br />
broker architecture in the visibility market,<br />
decoupling packet broker functions from<br />
its underlying hardware and offering an<br />
open compute platform option for network<br />
packet brokers. The nGenius PFS<br />
5000 series is available for high density<br />
10 GbE and 40/100 GbE Packet Broker<br />
deployments.<br />
Independent Wi-Fi vendor Aerohive<br />
Networks has released the HiveManager<br />
NG Virtual Appliance. This unified network<br />
management system means that customers<br />
can manage thousands of devices<br />
and experience the full power of<br />
Aerohive's cloud networking, deployed on<br />
their site. The cost of a typical deployment<br />
starts at $3,300 for the HiveManager NG<br />
Virtual Appliance and the underlying<br />
hardware and software platform.<br />
The virtual appliance provides the same<br />
features for monitoring, security, and<br />
access management as Aerohive's public<br />
cloud solution. This unified approach to<br />
public and private cloud networking<br />
allows the solution to seamlessly scale in<br />
size and capability, across deployment<br />
models and accommodate evolving customer<br />
and partner mobility requirements.<br />
Chris DePuy, Technology Analyst at 650<br />
Group said, "The new HiveManager<br />
Virtual Appliance is unique… it provides<br />
the same advanced feature set, no matter<br />
what the deployment size and it is an<br />
exciting offer for any organisation looking<br />
for a simple and complete on-premises<br />
WiFi management platform."<br />
No matter how virtual and cloud based<br />
services become, hardware remains an<br />
inconvenient reality. With the IT technician<br />
in mind, StarTech has announced<br />
the release of its Hot-Swap Drive Bay,<br />
allowing the efficient management of<br />
2.5" SATA SSD/HDD drives in a desktop<br />
computer or server. It combines the benefits<br />
of a portable enclosure with a fixed<br />
mobile backplane, meaning that users<br />
can swap, replace or transport a drive<br />
with the portable enclosure, or store a<br />
drive in a fixed location. The drive bay<br />
offers USB 3.1 (10Gbps) connectivity<br />
speeds for fast performance and quick<br />
data access. NC<br />
