With product announcements ranging from the trivial to the bizarre, the Editor distils the essence of those that are of interest to the Networking community.

In May 2014, OpenStack Foundation launched the OpenStack Marketplace, providing users with a means to evaluate the full spectrum of deployment options. OpenStack users have many ways to consume the software - on premise, using a service provider's data centre, or as a hybrid model. Now a new Hosted Private Cloud category has been added to augment existing categories including training, consulting services, distributions & appliances, and public clouds and drivers, allowing users to easily find and compare products that best meet their needs.

OpenStack is open source software for building public and private clouds. It enables businesses to rapidly roll out new products, add new features and improve internal systems, while reducing technology lock-in. Mark Collier, COO of OpenStack Foundation said, "In the software defined economy, businesses face constant pressure to move faster and are focused on adding value through rapid app development. That's why we've seen so much traction for OpenStack in the Hosted Private Cloud market and are now adding the new Marketplace category to help companies quickly identify which vendors are offering this new path to OpenStack-powered, fully managed infrastructure."

Unstructured, human-generated enterprise data is growing fast. A solution to help the management of this new and challenging demand, DatAnywhere from Varonis Systems, has been updated to version 2.0. It adds new capabilities to its solution for secure, cloud-style file synchronisation and sharing that can instantly transform enormous file-sharing environments into private clouds, providing mobile access from any device to large volumes of data without moving the files from existing file servers. It specifically adds support for stub files on desktop/laptop clients, enabling organisations to select which files remain local on desktop clients and which files are stubbed. Stub files look and behave as if they are stored locally, but are actually stored only on the corporate file server. Also added is multi-language support, support for Windows 8.1 desktop clients and additional administrative functionality including file server I/O throttling and the ability to restrict personal workspace creation.

David Gibson, Varonis Vice President, said, "DatAnywhere has taken off because it uniquely addresses one of the most painful challenges to arise in recent years: how to make the terabytes and petabytes of data residing in corporate data centres as accessible as the public cloud without sacrificing security or disrupting the infrastructure… DatAnywhere turns existing file shares into an instant private cloud so remote employees can collaborate with each other, with customers or with vendors from anywhere, using their mobile devices - securely, and without requiring that any data be moved."

SolarWinds has launched deep packet inspection (DPI) in the guise of SolarWinds Response Time Viewer for Wireshark. The company says that it further simplifies Wireshark's data analysis capabilities and automates the manual analysis process of packet capture data, helping IT Professionals to easily and quickly calculate application and network response time. It is a freely available tool from SolarWinds, joining more than 30 others from their IT management product family. Enhancing the user experience for Wireshark, one of the most widely used free tools for DPI, it seamlessly provides automatic analysis and calculation of application and network response time, as well as data and transaction volume derived from the Wireshark packet capture data.

Real time internet threat detection company Webroot has announced collaboration with LogRhythm that will see the Webroot BrightCloud IP Reputation Service integrate with LogRhythm's Security Intelligence Platform. The BrightCloud IP Reputation Service for LogRhythm is a real-time threat intelligence service that helps identify malicious and benign IPs in network traffic. From here users can correlate global IP Reputation data from Webroot against data already collected within LogRhythm to identify malicious IP traffic when the system can perform a number of additional tasks to provide visibility into network behavioural changes, malicious IPs and automate the remediation of attacks.
