How to win the latency race with DPI-driven WAN optimization

WAN optimization is becoming increasingly important in managing bandwidth. Explore how DPI supports various techniques used for WAN optimization, namely QoS management involving prioritization and load balancing, deduplication, caching, compression and CDN. It assesses how granular insights at the packet- and application-level expedite network optimization decisions, and how this improves latencies and application performance across WANs and SD-WANs.

Shaping application traffic with DPI-powered application delivery controller

Sitting between the external firewall and a web farm, today’s cloud-based application delivery controllers (ADCs) play a very important role in managing application traffic across highly distributed architectures. This article discusses how the evolution of ADCs requires deep network visibility and how deep packet inspection (DPI) can be used to power a number of key functionalities that span access control, security, content management and SSL termination. It highlights DPI’s VPP-driven traffic filtering capacity and how this can be used to enhance virtualized, cloud-based ADCs.

Networks can’t afford lockdowns: Identifying cyber-threats before they become endemic

The sudden increase in cyber-attacks during the pandemic can mostly be attributed to the unexpected shift to remote working, which caused delays in the deployment of security projects as IT teams struggled with overloaded VPNs and a host of personal devices that needed to be patched remotely. Just last month, US cybersecurity firm FireEye was hit by what it suspects to be state-sponsored cyber-attackers looking to steal information on FireEye’s government clients. How did it happen and how could it have been mitigated? Read more in our latest blog post by Stephan Klokow.
