adding more bandwidth.

ipoque announced that four more large enterprises have finally said “enough” with adding more bandwidth to solve their open-loop problem of trying to meet their continuous thirst for more throughput. These companies instead turned to ipoque to improve the performance of their traffic by better monitoring and managing their networks.

ipoque’s new white paper illustrates the advantages of a multi-tier architecture of loosely coupled, well-integrated systems that is extensible, flexible and scalable enough to meet present and future challenges of network operators. The document regards the technical background and explains the functions of each network component, focusing mainly on the policy enforcement system.

adds new features like dual-band wireless for even greater range, reliability, and speed.

Manage from Anywhere
Like all AP One series products, the AP One 300M offers anywhere, anytime remote management via the InControl cloud-based management platform. And starting with Firmware 5.4, Balance users can centrally manage up to 20 AP One devices for free with the Balance’s built-in WLAN Controller.

Deliver Wi-Fi Everywhere
The AP One 300M also features two Gigabit Ethernet WAN ports and a 2.4GHz/5GHz 802.11a/b/g/n radio for more flexibility and speed, as well as greater signal coverage and reliability.

 enables IT departments to monitor the power flowing into racks and the environmental conditions in and around those racks.

iMeter can monitor up to 600 of the following sensors from a single IP address:

• Current (Amps) using our unique intelliAmp® current sensor
• Voltage
• Temperature
• Humidity
• Airflow
• Water Leak
• Security (door contact or motion)
• Smoke

The unique combination of the sensors on offer means that IT and Facilites personnel can analyse the relationships between power usage, airflow and temperature to help assist data centre management decisions relating to cost control and reduction. The design of the Jacarta Go-Probe sensors enables the complete system to be implemented with zero downtime. The intelliAmp current sensor can be clipped to the outside of 16 and 32 Amp power cables to monitor the True RMS current draw of single phase racks without any need to disrupt the power flowing into those racks something absolutely necessary when PDU (Power Distribution Units) are to be used.

wireless networks we could find. The results will amaze you.
Searching for wireless networks by car is known as wardriving, while our Project Warbike analyzing Wi-Fi security throughout London was a greener experiment (and surely faster). We found that unsecured wireless networks are still an issue that needs tackling. Of the nearly 107,000 wireless networks we surveyed, we discovered that 27% have poor, or no, security.

racetrack employees, Toyota needed a solution that could withstand harsh environments while offering consistently fast and reliable performance at the same time.

Before Peplink, Toyota Racing relied on a satellite Internet connection, which was weather-dependent and unreliable. The team decided to give the MAX 700 a try. Featuring SpeedFusion, the MAX drives record-setting performance, dependability, and durability for Toyota Racing.

Deployment:

• Deployed a Pepwave MAX 700 on the racetrack and a Peplink Balance 310 at the office
• Bonded multiple aircards for higher bandwidth and seamless failover using SpeedFusion

Winning factors:

• SpeedFusion delivers more bandwidth and secure VPN connections
• Seamless failover ensures high reliability

spread the Flame malware from machine to machine.

Flame-infected computers can be instructed to impersonate a Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol (WPAD) server. Windows machines set for automatic proxy detection (the default) will try to contact a server called wpad.(company domain name) to check for instructions for when to use a HTTP proxy.

Flame would tell machines on the network that the infected computer was to be used for proxying requests to Microsoft’s Windows Update service. Ordinarily this would not work, as Microsoft signs updates with their special digital certificates to ensure you only receive updates that are tamper proof.

year’s Networkshop 40 exhibition in York, England. Ιpoque’s Traffic Manager products were featured again this year.

The exhibition was intended for network managers and technical staff at Great Britain’s higher education institutions, among them ipoque customers such as the universities of Hull and York. Universities often have huge data rates and special requirements for their networking technology. Students in dorms connected to the university network expect reliable Internet connectivity; at the same time, they are heavy users of bandwidth-intensive services such as BBC iPlayer in Great Britain. As a result, overall network performance can be substantially degraded.
