 =====================================================

GigaVUE-OS on a White Box

Features and Benefits

                Powered by GigaVUE-OS™: Implement a uniform operating system software for visibility from edge to core of the visibility infrastructure

                 

                Cluster Capable: Extend traffic intelligence from GigaSMART® capable nodes to white box ports

                Managed by GigaVUE-FM: Provides a single pane-of-glass view for the entire visibility infrastructure

                Compatible with Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) Boot Loader: Allows organizations to use a common white box hardware platform for multiple operating systems, each specialized in different functions such as switching, visibility and more

Product Description

Infrastructure blind spots created by encapsulated and encrypted traffic are creating increasingly complex and seemingly undetectable security threats. Combined with the desire to embrace SDN technology, data center operators are increasingly acknowledging the value and criticality of pervasive and end-to-end visibility to deliver essential infrastructure monitoring. With a significant amount of traffic between different tiers of distributed applications happening below the spine switch in a data center, it is critical to have a scalable monitoring approach that provides the scale, intelligence, economics and richness of visibility to every rack in a large data center using an approach that is called by some operators as “TAP all”.

GigaVUE-OS is Gigamon’s market-leading visibility software that powers the intelligent core nodes (GigaVUE H Series) and the edge nodes (GigaVUE TA Series). The modular operating system software, GigaVUE-OS, has now been extended to GigaVUE-TA1 equivalent white box hardware by abstracting software from the underlying hardware.

Tabula Rosa Technical Term Of The Day - Digital Signature

 =====================================================

A digital signature (not to be confused with a digital certificate) is a mathematical technique used to validate the authenticity and integrity of a message, software or digital document.

The digital equivalent of a handwritten signature or stamped seal, but offering far more inherent security, a digital signature is intended to solve the problem of tampering and impersonation in digital communications. Digital signatures can provide the added assurances of evidence to origin, identity and status of an electronic document, transaction or message, as well as acknowledging informed consent by the signer.

In many countries, including the United States, digital signatures have the same legal significance as the more traditional forms of signed documents. The United States Government Printing Office publishes electronic versions of the budget, public and private laws, and congressional bills with digital signatures.

How digital signatures work

Digital signatures are based on public key cryptography, also known as asymmetric cryptography. Using a public key algorithm such as RSA, one can generate two keys that are mathematically linked: one private and one public. To create a digital signature, signing software (such as an email program) creates a one-way hash of the electronic data to be signed. The private key is then used to encrypt the hash. The encrypted hash -- along with other information, such as the hashing algorithm -- is the digital signature. The reason for encrypting the hash instead of the entire message or document is that a hash function can convert an arbitrary input into a fixed length value, which is usually much shorter. This saves time since hashing is much faster than signing.

The value of the hash is unique to the hashed data. Any change in the data, even changing or deleting a single character, results in a different value. This attribute enables others to validate the integrity of the data by using the signer's public key to decrypt the hash. If the decrypted hash matches a second computed hash of the same data, it proves that the data hasn't changed since it was signed. If the two hashes don't match, the data has either been tampered with in some way (integrity) or the signature was created with a private key that doesn't correspond to the public key presented by the signer (authentication).

A digital signature can be used with any kind of message -- whether it is encrypted or not -- simply so the receiver can be sure of the sender's identity and that the message arrived intact. Digital signatures make it difficult for the signer to deny having signed something (non-repudiation) -- assuming their private key has not been compromised -- as the digital signature is unique to both the document and the signer, and it binds them together. A digital certificate, an electronic document that contains the digital signature of the certificate-issuing authority, binds together a public key with an identity and can be used to verify a public key belongs to a particular person or entity.

If the two hash values match, the message has not been tampered with, and the receiver knows the message is from sender.

Most modern email programs support the use of digital signatures and digital certificates, making it easy to sign any outgoing emails and validate digitally signed incoming messages. Digital signatures are also used extensively to provide proof of authenticity, data integrity and non-repudiation of communications and transactions conducted over the Internet.

Tabula Rosa Systems - What Happens In One Minute On The Internet

 =====================================================

What Happens in One Minute on the Internet? [Infographic]

As millions of new Internet users log on every month, the numbers relating to the flow of information becomes ever more staggering. An infographic from analytics software provider Domo, attempts to quantify just how much data is generated in one minute online.

First thing’s first: Email is still a dominant sharing tool. Internet users send more than 200 million emails every minute. Searching Google is the second most-popular activity on the Web with more than four million queries every 60 seconds.

Surprise, surprise: Facebook holds dominion when it comes to social networks, with users posting nearly 2.5 million pieces of content. YouTube users upload a staggering 72 hours of content, while Twitter users tweet 277,000 times, and Vine users shared 8,333 clips. WhatsApp users share 347,222 photos, which actually beats Instagram, where there are only 216,000 new photos shared per minute.

Internet users also seem to love the same things online as they do offline: shopping, music and dating. For good or ill, Tinder users swipe 416,617 other users, Pandora users listen to more than 60,000 hours of music and Amazon makes $83,000 in online sales.

To be staggered by more statistics, see the infographic below. Don’t forget to compare it to Domo’s similar infographic from two years ago to see just how uch more we’ve crammed into a minute.
