VPN can give businesses greater stability

Voice and video traffic prioritised with QoS

Companies relying on video and conference calls may want to consider looking at taking out a virtual private network (VPN) with QoS (Quality of Service)

A VPN within a company is generally faster than the wider internet and is obviously more secure. This is because it is free from outside intrusion so there is not a large virus or hacking threat.

Just because a VPN has been installed within a company, that doesn’t mean it can only be accessed on the business premises. It is possible to incorporate remote access, which is particularly useful if your company employs people working from home or if travelling to important meetings is a large part of the job. A VPN means employees can have access to company documents and files anywhere. Furthermore, with the QoS offered, it is possible to use the high-quality  connection for video and voice conferencing tasks.

iPhone OS4 - support VPN connections

Latest Apple gadgets to make use of VPN technology

The latest generation of devices from Apple will be compatible with VPNs, it has been revealed.

A VPN is a Virtual Private Network which gives businesses greater freedom when it comes to accessing their information. It means that their data is kept on a network away from the internet, enhancing security and making sure that their information is impenetrable to any malicious outside sources.

Business customers looking for greater management control and flexibility in their work will be pleased to learn that a VPN also gives people the option of getting to grips with their information remotely from anywhere in the world. This means that folders and files can be retrieved quickly and more easily than ever before.

Customers will be pleased to see that Apple have woken up to just how useful a VPN can be by offering compatibility with the latest version of the iPhone as well as the new iPad.

With iPhone OS 4, VPN protocols can be leveraged so that users can seamlessly connect to a business network on-demand. Apple has tailored compatibility with forthcoming apps from Juniper and Cisco.

Protocol

In information technology, a protocol (from the Greek protocollon, which was a leaf of paper glued to a manuscript volume, describing its contents) is the special set of rules that end points in a telecommunication connection use when they communicate. Protocols exist at several levels in a telecommunication connection. For example, there are protocols for the data interchange at the hardware device level and protocols for data interchange at the application program level. In the standard model known as Open Systems Interconnection (OSI), there are one or more protocols at

each layer in the telecommunication exchange that both ends of the exchange must recognize and observe. Protocols are often described in an industry or international standard.

On the Internet, there are the TCP/IP protocols, consisting of:
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which uses a set of rules to exchange messages with other Internet points at the information packet level
Internet Protocol (IP), which uses a set of rules to send and receive messages at the Internet address level
Additional protocols that include the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP), each with defined sets of rules to use with corresponding programs elsewhere on the Internet

There are many other Internet protocols, such as the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

SECURE FTP (SFTP, SSH, FTP over SSL)

There are many ways to send files over the internet. You can just ftp a file, email a file, upload a file, or even share via a vpn. This easy task of sending a file gets difficult when the information in the file needs to be secured. I have seen / used many solutions to make a secure file transfer. Some use custom code (http and .net) others just use https and an upload feature, some add the use of file encryption (PGP or similar). I have never found the best mix because it always depends on requirements or needs. I have however found what works well with Windows / IIS.

There are 3 or 4 ftp servers I would recommend using with IIS that allow for secure ftp. I won’t go into the benifits of each type of secure ftp (FTP over ssl, ssh, or sftp). I will mention some of the products I have evaulated and used in my past projects:

Globalscape Secure ftp server (http://www.cuteftp.com/gsftps/) – This was the first secure ftp server I have ever installed an used. I found it very easy to configure and integrate into an environment. I was very successful using the Active Directory user model as well. I think this may be the only product that can integrate with AD (don’t quote me) The price for globalscape is also reasonable – $490 is not that much to pay for a reliable and supported server software. I have used this product since the early days and found that version 2.0 was a bit buggy on 2003 (when Server 2003 came out) However the Globalscape team updated the software and corrected the issues very quickly. The newer version have been able to handle 1000’s of transactions for me in the past, with great reliability. The secure part of the server worked well with almost any client, Filezilla (more on Filezilla to come) and also other vendors ftp clients.

Glub Tech – Secure FTP (http://www.glub.com/products/secureftp/) – This is the only product I have not used in a production environment. The install is fairly painless, but I found the configuration and use a bit cumber sum. I also liked the price (25) but was not sure on the licensing if that was for the client or the server. I only list this one because it is found on most searches.

Ipswitch – WS FTP server – (http://www.ipswitch.com/products/ws_ftp-server/index.asp?t=features) Ipswitch also makes a fine product. The cost $395 is very reasonable. I found it was very easy to install but hard to navigate through the options. I also have used this in a production environment for a few years and found the reliability very good. The secure section of this product did not work well with other client than the IPswitch client. I never got over the fact that it did not play well with other clients.

Filezilla server (http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/) – I did not discover this product until I had been using globalscape for about a year and a half. When I fisrt stumbled upon it after using the Filezilla ftp client with the globalscape server. I did not know what to make of beta ftp servers running in a production environment. Since that time I have deployed this server in about 3- 5 environments with great success. It is a fantastic FTP server as well as a Secure ftp server. It allows you to use all the mentioned protocols above. If you are in need of sending secure files I would recommend trying this out. You cannot beat the cost (FREE).
I hope this information helps out the next Admin that is in need of some secure file transfers.

It is worth mentioning some other products available. They may not be the same as Secure ftp but they do allow for secure communication.

OPEN SSH on windows – (http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/ ) this is a little gem if you are willing to work through a tough install and configuration. Once you have this running you can use Filezilla (client) and connect to a windows machine via SSH and use it like an ftp server.

SSL Explorer – (http://www.sshtools.com/showSslExplorer.do) – this is more of a vpn solution, but it works very well. It creates a SSL based vpn and you can transfer files via that. They offer a free solution for non commercial use.

What are the advantages of broadband VPN?

There are several advantages associated with broadband VPN. These include:

* Bonding DSL - one of the main advantages of using a broadband VPN through Managed Communications is the ability to bond ADSL at multiple office locations to deliver a point to point connection. This broadband VPN solution offers resilience as well as increased broadband capacity for downloading at both sites.
* Reduced cost of internet breakout - another advantage of a broadband VPN is that it cuts the cost of internet breakout. Typically, a point to point leased line requires at least one additional internet connection. If the network contains many sites, internet breakout can become very expensive. If traffic is back hauled over leased lines to save costs on internet access, you need to route that traffic through the point to point link. This reduces the available bandwidth for other applications. With a broadband VPN, you can manage internet breakout cost effectively on a site by site basis without reducing available bandwidth for applications.
* Get an excellent service level agreement (SLA) - with an ADSL VPN from Managed Communications, you get a private network and negate the need for leased line internet breakout. But importantly you also get a 99.9% SLA so you can be totally confident about the level you will receive.
* Get expert advice and keep track of the latest technological breakthroughs - our engineers are experts in Cisco VPN, Checkpoint VPN and Netscreen VPN hardware. And with their years of knowledge and experience in the field, you know that you will be getting the best possible outcome for your business. Nobody knows more about VPN networks than Managed Communications.

Monitoring site traffic for fraud prevention

Most website owners spend a little time looking at their “web logs”, the list of page hits to their site.  A free tool included with most websites is AWStats which allows you to determine how many hits per day you are getting, most popular post, hits by country, even the most frequent visitor (usually the website owner).    Often you will see signs of suspicious activity: lots of hits to undefined URLs,  unusual volume from a particular country.   You can easily postulate that if your site is going to be hacked you will be forewarned by reading the logs. 

One new company that is leveraging that concept is Silver Tail Systems.  Their sophisticated solution is meant for banks, stock trading sites and similar high value transaction sites.  I am adding them to my list of cool companies to watch for 2011 (to be posted soon).  

Web attacks take various forms. In 2002 I had a conversation with a large data provider who had opened up their proprietary database to subscribers for only $250/month.  It did not take long for someone to use a stolen credit card to get access and run scripts against the database to suck down as much as they could.  When IT-Harvest first launched our security vendor data base we allowed anyone to run simple searches on it.  That first day a vendor in Canada (you know who you are) ran a script against it to suck down the whole database.

Another time tested attack is web scraping: a technique that riled the airlines who did not like their prices posted on comparison sites.  And phishers sped a lot of time hitting a site in preparation for mimicking it so they can lure people into giving up their identities.  Once an attacker has user access they can engage in sophisticated pump and dump schemes where they liquidate the user's holding and invest in some penny stock they have already taken a position in. The attacker sells their own stock when it pops up in reaction to the unusual buy activity. The account holder is left holding worthless stock after it drops back down again.

The most critical step transaction sites can take is to ensure they do not contain vulnerabilities that expose them to hacks.   Brian Krebs lambastes the site administrators for .gov sites that are particularly lax in this manner.     Although deploying web application firewalls from Imperva or AppSec Inc. is the best way to defend against these attacks, more sophisticated attacks may take advantage of yet undiscovered vulnerabilities or use the very structure of the site to engage in fraudulent practices, often as authenticated users. 

That is where Silver Tail Systems comes in.  They monitor all traffic to the main site and third party sites and look for indications of malfeasance. Alerts are generated when the normal business logic is subverted and allows the site owner to investigate and correct controls.  This is much better than waiting for the call from an irate customer who finds his funds have vaporized!

You can hear more on my thoughts on web attacks and fraud as well as hear directly from Silver Tail Systems in a webinar this Thursday, the 27th of January at 1-2 PM Eastern (GMT -5).  Registration is now open.

Security Applications Of Videoconferencing

Videoconferencing has opened up the world to our desktops. Unfortunately, it has also exposed our desktops and networks to things other than the intended web meeting. Videoconferencing at its best enables improved communication and faster project turn-around. At its worst, it Turns a workplace into a video surveillance system.


Security applications of videoconferencing have become more necessary than ever.

It is important to understand videoconferencing security. In order to secure a videoconference, the key areas of data storage, data radiation, and data encryption must be considered.


The information shared during a videoconference usually contains some sensitive or classified information. Those attending the conference can store data for future access, presenting a certain security risk. PC-based videoconferencing systems that run on PC operating systems use standard hardware.


Since these systems include internal hard drives and plug-and-play connectivity, additional steps must be taken to secure these systems. Specifically, the systems must be equipped with a removable hard drive. In addition, two different hard drives must be used; one for secure calls and one for other calls. The hard drive used for secure calls should be kept in an approved safe location. Because of the cost and inconvenience of securing PC-based videoconferencing systems, they are not very well suited for security sensitive use.


Appliance videoconferencing systems are not based on a PC platform and typically do not utilize standard PC-based hardware or software. They are usually custom designed and manufactured to provide only specific functions. Storage capabilities are usually limited to storing address info, usage data, and configuration settings. Appliance based videoconferencing systems are best suited for secure videoconferencing.


Any conferencing equipment can electrically radiate confidential information. Data shared during a videoconference is susceptible to monitoring by unauthorized personnel. Studies have shown that signals from a video monitor can be picked up as far as a half mile away. The U.S. government has recently issued the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace, which outlines security recommendations for corporations.


Other vulnerabilities have been discovered in videoconferencing products. One glitch allows unauthorized individuals to gather information about the device, retrieve files, crash the device, or monitor videoconferences. Product lines, can be used to secure your system by denying transmission requests from unauthorized users.


Another major security issue with many videoconferencing systems is that the password protecting the remote management features is passed from the remote management console across the Internet to the videoconference system without the use of a secure protocol.


Any potential hacker monitoring the connection is able to retrieve the password to gain access to remote management controls. With many of the newer videoconference systems able to stream video over the Internet, the attacker can then forward unencrypted videoconferences to any number of anonymous destinations across the Internet. Experts recommend protecting videoconferencing systems with a gateway product that can provide packet filtering, encryption and certificate-based authentication.


It is important to remember that Internet data, including that used for videoconferences, may go through dozens of routers. By adhering to the following protocols, you can keep your system safe and secure.


It is important to keep informed of security exploits and download security patches from the manufacturers of videoconferencing equipment as they become available.

Videoconferencing users need to supplement basic password protection with a stronger level of security. Some online meeting systems identify users by a username and password. Guessing passwords can be very easy to do, sometimes. Make sure the password system is secure, and know who has access to passwords.


When data transfers are taking place, it is important to secure that transmission. Most online transactions are now using Secure Socket Layer (SSL), a protocol designed for secure online communication. Online meeting service providers generally use SSL. Look for the padlock icon on the toolbar at the bottom of the web browser to ensure protection.


Consider scrambling or encryption of data to provide another layer of security. Modern encryption methods are difficult to break. By using such strong methods to scramble files before they are stored protects data even before it arrives to another server. Any business or organization should have a core policy for security issues. Closely examine and periodically evaluate security policies. When selecting an online meeting business, examine the companys privacy statement.

For several years now, Jason has been reviewing hundreds of online products and services. Many consider his reviews to be very insightful and reliable. Visit his website 1VideoConference.com

Different Hosting Packages and Choosing the Right One for You

Companies called hosting providers are in the business of giving websites virtual "homes" in cyberspace. There are many types of hosting services and "Web site solutions," and knowledgeable webmasters can customize approaches for their own, unique needs. Still, less experienced people will need sites, too, which is why hosting providers continue to offer three common "packages" - dedicated hosting, shared hosting and virtual hosting. Even among this range of choices, today’s leading hosting companies will offer more personalization, often calling them "managed" and "semi-managed" packages.


You need to know the differences between and among these packages, just as you need to compare cost, security, service and expertise among the providers. When you start to know the terms and understand the technology, you can narrow down the list of firms that will eventually produce the winner. Learning about the different hosting packages and choosing the right one for you is a crucial step in getting your business to its peak performance in this networked global economy.


Shared packages


Sometimes companies (and individuals) will sign up for the least costly plan they can find, especially when starting up their first site. The lowest costs are among the "shared hosting" plans, and the term means pretty much what it suggests - you will share disk space on a server with 20 or 200 other Web sites. These agreements contain a limit on the amount of CPU (Central Processing Unit) use as well as disk "real estate" that your files can take up. For small companies and individuals, this is not typically a problem.


These kinds of hosting plans didn’t spring out of thin air. Hosting firms looked at the behavior of different kinds of customers, and one conclusion they made (since verified a few million times) was that most customers didn’t use all the storage space or transfer "bandwidth" they had been given with their plan. If you plan on growing, you will need a plan that can grow with you, not a low-use shared plan that charges you a penalty for doing more transfers and having more visitors.


Virtual private hosting


With a Virtual Private Server (VPS) you get a Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS), and although you still share space you will have your own area, or partition, on the server. Big servers are often "divvied up" into multiple, separate (called "discrete") partitions that run their own operating system and can be started ("booted") individually. This is a very critical feature from some companies. Despite sharing space on a physical device, your partition acts like its own server. Naturally - and physically speaking - your site will still share disk space, have a CPU usage limit and be restricted to a certain amount of transfer and bandwidth. However, you have much more room to negotiate the kind of package deal you need, and virtual hosting has become quite popular.


Dedicated packages


Dedicated packages get you and/or your company a customized service with benefits like improved security, the best infrastructure and higher speeds. Because they are tailored to the unique, often demanding needs of customers - precise amounts of bandwidth, storage space, memory, etc. - these are costlier packages. What you are doing, in effect, is renting a server that you do not share with anyone, which enables and empowers you in many ways. You can run CPU-intensive programs at any time, not worry about your Web site’s performance affecting other sites (or being affected by them) and not be brought "crashing down" by others’ errors.


If you have a large company with a complicated, media-intensive, high-traffic Web site - or two, or three - you will find the dedicated plan to be ideal. The "discrete server" kind of hosting gives you control, and completely, over content, structure, operations and activities. Not everyone needs this kind of hosting package, but if you do, you will not make your Web strategy work with anything less. Past a certain point, of both bandwidth and operational flexibility, there is no reason not to have a dedicated server.


Managed vs. semi-managed and reseller hosting


If you choose managed hosting, you lease the equipment and the connections, which the owner of the data center will keep powered up and running (the hardware part). Managed hosting exceeds basic hosting because there are shared responsibilities, better performance, heightened security and guaranteed (and higher) up time. Semi-managed, or root server hosting, lets you control the server with "root access." The provider will maintain the hardware, and you will manage all the other aspects of the site (backups, upgrades, etc.). With root access and administrator privileges, you can do anything you want.


Reseller hosting allows businesses to host sites for their own customers. If you resell hosting services it means that you contract with a hosting provider to sell their services with your name or brand. There are as many different ways of putting these kinds of plans in effect as there are hosting firms out there, and it is not something you should consider doing without sufficient expertise.


The right plan for you depends on your needs, so you could possibly choose any of the hosting plans discussed here. You may start slowly and then grow into a costlier, more powerful package. When you realize how hosting plans work, you can compare services, security and costs much more accurately, which is just what you want when you are ready to start up or expand your company’s site.

Using Drupal Content Management System: Open Source Drupal CMS

Using Drupal is easy if you have a video tutorial from which to learn. Drupal is an open source CMS (content management system), which can be sued to create websites, blogs, social networking sites and so on. In fact there is virtually no limit to what you can be using Drupal for, and it's free.

What that means is that the source code is free to anybody that wants to use Drupal, although you can purchase various forms of customization, including themes and modules to offer specific effects and website components. Drupal is written in PHP and works with a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, MAC and others, and a database system such as MySQL can be used for data storage - in fact a database of some form is essential.

Most of the content in Drupal is made up of what are referred to as 'nodes'. A node is intrinsically a piece of information, and they can come in a variety of content types. Among the predefined Drupal content types are 'page' and 'story', although you can also define your own. There is virtually no limit to the type of website you can develop using Drupal, but it can be heavy on use of resources.

For that reason you are advised to use a Virtual private server (VPS) or a dedicated server if you intend using Drupal to develop a large website such as a community or social networking site. If you are simply developing a small website for yourself, then you should manage with shared hosting, but otherwise you are best to get a dedicated hosting account.

Although learning Drupal is not difficult, you should learn the right way. By far the best way is to have private tuition, but that can be far too pricy for most people. You can also just play about with it, and pick it up as you go. However, if you are serious about using a Drupal content management system, then a Drupal video course is likely the best solution.

Drupal core is the standard installation of Drupal that contains a taxonomy system that enables content to be tagged with keywords, so that it is easily accessed. It includes a number of modules that enables the functionality of the system to be customized. Among the standard modules in the core download are search functions, a multi-level menu system, access statistics and logging, comments, polls and forums, RSS feed and aggregator and many more.

There are also several core Drupal themes, that allow the look and feel of the sites to be customized, and also supports a large number of languages.

If all this sounds complex, it is not as difficult to learn as you might think. A Drupal video tutorial is probably the best way of learning to use Drupal, since you can watch and copy, and replay any part that needs special attention. Using the Drupal open source CMS enables you to put your ideas for unique websites into practice, and also to immeasurably improve the functionality of the blogs, forums and social websites that you will learn to design.

Using Drupal can offer you many advantages, and an excellent Drupal video tutorial is available on Drupal Tutorials - Available for both beginner and advanced levels, this will enable you to learn how to use Drupal the best possible way - by example.

Lightning Pick Technologies (www.lightningpick.com), providers of paperless picking systems including the number one selling Pick to Light solution in North America recently discussed LP User Community News.  According to Joe Pelej, "More multinational organizations adopt Lightning Pick as their standardized paperless picking system platform in 2010. Lightning Pick continues to grow its global user community with several new international projects and agreements in Latin America, South Africa, Asia, and Europe. From projects with major cosmetics operations to leading big box retailers, these companies are selecting Lightning Pick as the proven provider for world class paperless picking solutions.

These new projects have often involved large multinational enterprises who are seeking platform standardization. Because several of these larger businesses are the early adopters of Pick to Light technologies within their geography or industry segment, they wanted to select proven best-of-breed solutions to execute their best practice processes.   

A common theme across all of these international installations has been the involvement of a strong local "in country" system integrator. A large percentage of Lightning Pick's US-based projects are the result of successful integrator collaborations. This experience has enabled Lightning Pick to clearly identify effective international partners to work with for these emerging accounts.

The good, the bad, and the ugly in the Pentagon's Cyberstrategy

William Lynn,the US Deputy Secretary of Defense wrote the most succinct description of the US Pentagon Cyberstrategy yet in the September/October issue of Foreign Affairs.   Here are the good, the bad, and the ugly components of that strategy.

The good.  Lynn begins by acknowledging successful cyber attacks against the US military, in particular the intrusion via USB thumb drives that occurred in the fall of 2008. This intrusion led to the Pentagon making an unprecedented move to ban USB thumb drives from the military; a ban that was only rescinded in February 2010.  The cleanup effort to recover from the widespread worm infection, that Lynn claims was initiated in a Mideast base by foreign agents, was dubbed Operation Buckshot Yankee (OBY) in the Defense Department and Operation Rampant Yankee in the Army.

Lynn also states “To stay ahead of its pursuers, the United States must constantly adjust and improve its defenses.”  This is an important acknowledgement and reflects the state of cyber defense for every organization.  There is no single technology solution to be deployed that will counter all threats and even the latest and greatest technology will not defend against tomorrows attack methodologies.

Deterrence has been the subject of many recent reports coming from think tanks and cyber commissions.  Most have taken the view that cyber offensive or retaliatory measures must be in place to deter assailants.  I like Lynn’s take:

“deterrence will necessarily be based more on denying benefit to attackers than on imposing costs through retaliation.”

In other words, a strong defense is the best cyber defense.

Lynn also addresses the issue of international cooperation: “If there are to be international norms of behavior in cyberspace, they may have to follow a different model, such as that of public health or law enforcement."  Agree.

I can find no fault with Lynn’s summary:

“The principal elements of that strategy are to develop an organizational construct for training, equipping, and commanding cyberdefense forces; to employ layered protections with a strong core of active defenses; to use military capabilities to support other departments' efforts to secure the networks that run the United States' critical infrastructure; to build collective defenses with U.S. allies; and to invest in the rapid development of additional cyberdefense capabilities. The goal of this strategy is to make cyberspace safe so that its revolutionary innovations can enhance both the United States' national security and its economic security.”

The bad. Even after highlighting the problems facing the Defense Department Lynn makes the argument that the Pentagon must leverage its ten years of concerted investment in cyberdefense to support broader efforts to protect critical infrastructure.   Yet the two areas that he suggests the DoD has made headway in are computer hygiene (keeping anti-virus and firewalls up to date) and “sensors which detect and map intrusions.”    As I am the one most often associated with criticism of these sensors (IDS) I must point out that while they sound sexy, the industry has moved way beyond signature based intrusion detection.  There is no argument that a massive government initiative could provide some interesting intelligence about the source and methods used by attackers if they deployed sensors on the 15,000 networks Lynn says they have.  But the effort will not do anything to stop those attacks today when there are many technologies that will.  If the most that DoD can offer to protect critical infrastructure is IDS and anit-virus updates we have a problem.

The ugly.
Back to Operation Buckshot and Rampant Yankee.  Wired questions the attribution to foreign agents for the attack.  If such claims are to be made the Defense Department is going to have to do more to make visible the results of their forensic work.

There is no question that the cleanup activity truly turned Pentagon resources out in a massive effort.  One Army base awarded four IT personnel special medals for the work they did to reimage all of the computers on an entire base.  If universal reimaging was the response to a spreading worm there is much yet to be done within DoD to update its security practices.

Apparently that military has recognized some of the work needed and even states in the DoD Fiscal Year 2011 IT President's Budget Request dated March 9, 2010:

“The AF (AirForce)Network Action Plan is designed to reinvigorate operational rigor and address lingering systemic issues in the AF Global Information Grid highlighted by the Operation BUCKSHOT YANKEE”

Those “lingering systemic issues” apparently include the lack of ability to use networks to communicate effectively that created the wide spread use of USB thumb drives. 
Barry Rosenberg interviewed Lt. General Jeffrey Sorenson, August 10, 2009:

“When the dictate was put out that thumb drives were no longer going to be allowed, it did have 
some operational implications because this was how different orders, missions and 
organizational information were transmitted from headquarter to headquarter. Over time, we’ve 
had to go back and look at how we transfer data, and, clearly, the use of the thumb drive was 
one of these expedient methods by which information was passed between computers because we 
didn’t have a system set up properly to transfer the data.

And there is the whole concept of the network service center, by which data can be 
forward-staged and transmitted via the network as opposed to people picking up their hard 
drives, or, in this case, what used to be thumb drives or servers, and moving them. We’re still 
a number of years in the future before we have a net-centric or net-enabled capability that can 
be used to share data.

In many cases, as we’ve learned through the most recent Army “Rampart Yankee” and [Defense 
Department] “Buckshot Yankee” exercise — where we had to go off and remediate computer systems 
because of some infected thumb drives — that was a rather laborious, manually intensive effort 
to essentially achieve a capability that we would like to have, which would be 
machine-to-machine.

This raises the almost insurmountable prospect of an IT infrastructure stuck in the ‘90s. 
The effort to modernize includes a plan to consolidate Active Directories as well.  Lt. General Sorenson states here that   17 trees and 5 rogues (with that number climbing) exist within the Air Force alone.   User identity directory consolidation was a big issue in 2003.  If the military has standardized on Microsoft and is only now moving to a consolidated directory structure they have a long road ahead of them in modernizing their IT operations.

Lynn has set the stage for the creation of a concise Cyberstrategy for the Pentagon.  Now they need to follow through on defending their networks at least up to industry standards.

What Antamedia Bandwidth Manager Does For You?

Bandwidth is the rate of through put or rate per bit. It is also called digital or network bandwidth. This is important because they want to keep track of how much data in terms of files, movies and videos is transferred on a particular client in specified time duration. With Antamedia bandwidth manager you can get record as well as keep track of internet usage of each of your client. Without such management one of all systems would take more bandwidth and the rest would be sitting idle. In other words it would also damage the overall performance of the network as it would create network congestion.

Antamedia Bandwidth manager will help you control the network congestion and provide you systematic and allocated flow of data giving a systematic approach. There is a need of systematic network of traffic for all the systems that are connected to an ISP. Only increasing the bandwidth is not the option because if there is no proper management then bandwidth alone will not at all contribute. Using a bandwidth manager the upload and download rate of every single system is checked and controlled. Checked in the sense that initially the data and files need to be filtered from a gateway and if appropriate then sent to the particular system.

Dedicated speed is allocated to each user in which there is cost saving as whole because people will not unnecessary see videos, download songs etc once they have predefined amount of bandwidth in hand. Secondly the provider needs not to purchase additional bandwidth to increase the performance but initially do a systematic approach and allocate specified bandwidths to each individual customer. By using Antamedia bandwidth manager soft wares the whole network is in a systematic manner, seems a practical and useful approach too. This would also not lead to system hanging or slowing down as well and overall improving the performance of the network. Internet management is very essential for any large scale organization as it will be a source a great output and benefit in the long run. As everything is already designed in it so all you need is to purchase it and install it and then monitor it by performing all checks on it for every single network that it encompasses or for ever single system that the network has.

Bandwidth manager helps you track bandwidth in order to keep a record of every person internet usage so that you can claim as well as charge with proof and justifications. Moreover some blacklisted files can also be restricted for the users to access thus gaining authority and control. You can also use the module of cutting down the internet connection after office hours thus managing usage. They have the required level of security as well for your organization. These are ideal for offices, organizations, hospitals, schools and universities as well as shopping malls thus providing specialized security level, optimized output and specialized systematic approach. It is a one time expense and a life time benefit for your business.

Antamedia will provides you best possible solutions to lemmatize the use of your internet bandwidth with the help of

An Overview: Remote Power Management Solutions

Remote power management solutions allow administrators to remotely power cycle servers and devices and troubleshoot problems, both locally and remote, from any location in the world. This provides administrators with the ability to manage servers more efficiently and reduce server downtime by affording direct access to power control. Remote power management solutions are also used by many businesses and organizations to manage servers at offices and branch locations where there are no IT staff members, offering cost-efficient “lights-out” operation at those sites.



Remote power management solutions add increased functionality over traditional metered and basic power products. While many power distribution units (PDUs) can provide basic information and amperage readings, only intelligent or ‘switched’ PDUs truly provide the benefit of outlet-level management.



In determining an appropriate power management solution, integration with today’s KVM over IP solutions should be considered. Most enterprise KVM over IP solutions provide the ability to integrate power management within the same interface as the console session on each attached server. This integration can provide datacenter administrators with comprehensive remote power management capabilities.



Recent advances in remote power management include:



o - Branch Circuit Protection—several products now provide branch circuit protection—each branch of grouped outlets has its own fuse and circuit breaker, to isolate power anomalies and issues.



o - 3-Phase Power—the use of 3-Phase power in server room and datacenters is on the rise. 3-Phase power provides more balanced power loads and allows a greater flow of power into a server rack, while using fewer circuits.



o - Power-Up Sequencing—several products offer the ability to inflow of power to each receptacle, to prevent circuit overload and allow systems to reboot in sequence, such as firewalls, then routers, then servers.



Advantages of Remote Power Management


Compared to traditional power management solutions, remote power management offers significant and unique advantages.



Reduction of Server Downtime and Labor Costs—As remote power management solutions provide administrators with the ability to recycle power to non-responsive systems and troubleshoot problems remotely, they can lead to a reduction in server downtime and significantly reduce outages and losses. With traditional power management systems, when it is necessary to perform a cold reboot, technicians must be physically present to reboot a system, often at a substantial cost to a company or organization. With remote power management, in most instances, the dispatch of field personnel to manually execute a hard reboot is unnecessary, as administrators can immediately access the PDU via a browser and reboot the switch.



Status Monitoring—As server densities increase, power requirements and heat output are also on the rise. Remote power management solutions allow remote monitoring of amperage draw per circuit, humidity, and temperature. Many products are designed so that probes can be mounted directly onto the strip, eliminating the need for external hardware. Most remote power management solutions are SNMP-enabled so that alerts can be sent automatically when amperage, temperature, or humidity levels exceed established thresholds.



Frequently Asked Questions About Remote Power Management



Question: How do you know when circuits are at capacity?


Answer: An administrator will be notified when circuits are at capacity in two ways. An onsite administrator can check an LED on the PDU itself, which will display the total amperage draw. Additionally, administrators can view amperage remotely through a feature in the web-based management tool or utilizing SNMP integration.



Question: How quickly and effectively can power be recycled using remote power management?


Answer: Once an administrator sends a command for remote reboot, it takes place immediately.



Question: Can all remote power management solutions allow administrators to gain true redundancy and simultaneous control of multiple power supply devices?


Answer: No. However, there are several manufacturers that provide simultaneous reboot of redundant power supplies, grouped across separate circuits.



Question: What security features do remote reboot power devices offer?


Answer: Remote reboot power devices have many security features. Basic features include user name and password authentication and communication via SSL or using SSH. Additionally, the use of LDAP, Active Directory, RADIUS or TACACS+ can be added to provide integration with existing authentication schema.
