Within both public and private cloud data centers, the number of Virtual Machines per server blade is increasing rapidly, leveraging on-going improvements in the performance of the x86 processors used on those blades. Today, a typical server blade in a service provider data center hosts at least 50 VMs, with that number expected to grow to hundreds within a few years.
Because of this growth in the number of VMs running on each server blade, the data Read More »

I talked with many exhibitors about network security along with their challenges in migrating from proprietary environments to more flexible platforms, based on x86 processors and with virtualized architectures. It seems that the security market is working hard to bring more agility to network Read More »

Virtual Routing and Forwarding allows a router to handle multiple independent instances of a routing table. Therefore a single router can handle overlapping IP addresses and routes, provided that they are in different VRF instances.
This has an impact on all protocols handling interfaces, IP addresses or routes. In the case of IPsec, Security Policies (SPs) and Security Associations (SAs) are extended with VRF information to take into Read More »
