Dell Oro Group take on Foundry and Brocade merger: Datacenter requirements are evolving towards converged fabric

Brad Reese — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 12:44:21 -0400

Networking market research firm, the Dell'Oro Group, provided their insight regarding the recently announced Brocade/Foundry merger:

"Brocade’s recent purchase of Foundry is an excellent example of two companies combining to address the opportunities of a converged fabric in the data center," said Alan Weckel - Dell’Oro Group Senior Analyst for Ethernet Switch and IP Telephony Enterprise Market Research. "We continue to see the market segment into more specialized products focused on unique network areas."

"First, datacenter requirements are evolving towards a converged fabric such as the ability to combine Ethernet and Fibre Channel." "Second, the wiring closet continues to push VoIP and WLAN requiring PoE, QoS, and robust security." "This divergence in product requirements is making it difficult for vendors to develop a product for one segment and then modify it slightly to address another market." "Hence some smaller vendors will be required to pick one area of specialization or to partner in order to offer a complete solution that covers the unique characteristics from the wiring closet edge to the data center core." "In the case of Brocade, they decided to acquire Foundry instead of partnering to increase the breadth of its product portfolio."

"Brocade and Foundry bring complementary strengths to the table in terms of technology leadership, product portfolio, and the ability to capitalize on key market trends," said Bobby Johnson - CEO and President of Foundry Networks. "Together we believe we will be a much stronger entity with a compelling value proposition to compete more effectively in, and across, our respective markets."

Enjoy the Foundry Slide Show Presentation of the Foundry/Brocade deal. The New Brocade: End-to-End Networking Solutions Provider View the financial results of Foundry Networks for its second quarter which ended June 30, 2008.

"We believe the industry is at an inflection point in the way enterprise and service provider networks and data centers are being architected," said Mike Klayko - Chief Executive Officer of Brocade. "Customers are demanding networking solutions that meet the needs for today and can address the many advances in network convergence that are still ahead."

"Brocade has taken an important step through this acquisition in developing a networking infrastructure strategy that will serve as the foundation for capitalizing on these dynamic opportunities."

"First, Bobby congratulations and what would your role be in the new company?" -------------------------- Bobby Johnson - Foundry Networks, Inc. — CEO "So, we have just concluded the deal at about 1:00 pm this afternoon." "Let me, let me be clear; Brocade has acquired Foundry." "Mike Klayko is the CEO." "My role will be to support Mike, and we’ll work over the next few months to define my ongoing role." "I love this technology, and for people that may not know the history here, Brocade and Foundry are more or less siblings." "Seth Neiman of Crosspoint was the initial seed money for both companies." "And so we’ve kept in touch with each other throughout the years, and this was a great opportunity for both sides." "So my role is still undefined." "We’ll work on that, but I’m committed to making this happen, and I’m committed to helping Mike and both teams." -------------------------- Mike Klayko - Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. — CEO "Thanks Bobby." "Let me add one other piece of color to the point that we’ve been working up to the minute." "We’re going to have this dialog." "Anybody that’s got 30 years of experience, obviously we came up with roles, and there’s more things to do than there are hours in the day, so what we have to do is come up with something that keeps him within 24 hours a day of occupying his time, so there’s gong to be lots of opportunities." -------------------------- Jayson Noland - Robert Baird & company — Analyst "Bobby has quite a following in the networking world, and obviously it would be great to be able to retain him, as well as the Foundry sales force." -------------------------- Mike Klayko - Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. — CEO "Well, we agree." -------------------------- Wow! After reading above that Bobby Johnson has no defined role in the "new Brocade," yours truly can't help but believe that Bobby Johnson is cashing out and moving on! Related story: Initiative - try to challenge our Unified Fabric and Data Center 3.0 Vision Cisco certainly does not appear too worried about the Brocade/Foundry merger announcement!

The packet inspection is not just obscene...it is illegal according to various Federal laws on privacy. Sadly for the USA, we have an Emperor whose word is law and do not enforce most laws on the books, especially those related to Antitrust.

Cisco pink slips its famous PIX firewall July 28: AlgoSec aims to make the transition painless and hassle-free for customers

Brad Reese — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:49:39 -0400

This coming Monday - July 28th, Cisco is quietly giving the boot to its scandalously and outrageously successful PIX firewall. AlgoSec is one company that is offering Cisco customers a migration service. According to information on their website, AlgoSec's service enables enterprises upgrading from PIX to ASA to:

	Control professional service costs associated with the migration.
	Receive an independent third party *proof of correct migration* audit.
	Automate the error-prone and labor-intensive manual task of rule-by-rule comparison.
	Proactively ensure business continuity by validating that critical traffic will keep flowing.

View the AlgoSec Cisco PIX to ASA migration service Register for a free 30-day evaluation of the AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer (AFA). According AlgoSec's website, you'll also get automatically completed PCI and SOX compliance reports.

"Firewalls are often the organization’s first and continued line of defense," said Dr. Avishai Wool - AlgoSec Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder. "When migrating from one platform to another, especially when their interfaces and configuration language options are different, as is the case with PIX and ASA, it can be very daunting for organizations to ensure a smooth transition."

"At AlgoSec, we strive to provide enterprises the ability to intelligently automate what were until now manual functions." "Our migration solution for those enterprises moving from PIX to ASA does just that." "It provides enterprises a way to quickly and cost-effectively guarantee that the migration was as planned and maintain the integrity of their security policy."

AlgoSec firewall analyzer summary page: According to AlgoSec, the screenshot above of the AlgoSec firewall analyzer summary page is displaying the risks identified during the analysis. Risks are color coded with red being the most severe and the numbers marking how many times that risk is present. Each risk has a link that drills down to the particular industry standard that identifies it as a risk and recommendations on how to remediate.

Standard by which risk is measured and how to remediate: According to AlgoSec, after clicking on the risk on the summary page the screenshot above displays the standard by which the risk is measured and how to remediate.

The actual rule associated with the risk: According to AlgoSec,, the screenshot above delves even deeper, showing the actual rule associated with the risk to enable IT to remediate.

Overview comparing policies between PIX and ASA firewalls: According to AlgoSec, the screenshot above is an overview comparing policies between two firewalls, a PIX and ASA firewall. It provides an overview with everything being a hyperlink that you can drill down to. It details which firewalls, IP addresses, number of rules, services and hosts (for example) and provides an automatically generated network connectivity diagrams for the two firewalls. Additionally, it shows at the top the amount of traffic, definitions and topology and how many risks you are exposed to. Keep in mind that because it is a hyperlink, if you are interested in seeing the risks you can click and drill down and receive guidance on remediation. Restating once again according to AlgoSec, the above screenshot is an overview because AlgoSec can also show if traffic is blocked when you compare old policy to new and what the other implications are.

RBC analyst on Cisco FY4Q08: Indications that bookings are tracking slightly ahead of plan

Brad Reese — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:10:09 -0400

Yours truly received the following information from RBC Capital Markets this morning regarding Cisco's 4th quarter which ends this Saturday:

Managing Director of RBC Capital Markets - Mark Sue, is indicating that Cisco's FY4Q08 bookings are tracking slightly ahead of plan. RBC is estimating revenues of $10.33B, an increase of 6% QoQ and 10% YoY. The incremental strength may be coming from services orders (~15%) and a rebound in emerging markets (~11%).

The overall North American enterprise segment remains mixed and several verticals are reporting a resumption in spending while others remain highly challenged. Balance across segments and geographies is enabling Cisco to display better relative trends.

Cisco stock is down ~21% from its interim high and trading at just 13X RBC's CY09E earnings of $1.70 (consensus of $1.76). And considering RBC's view of strong near term results despite the negative sentiment, RBC believes the stock is a long. The stock is now trading near five year trough PE levels.

Cisco is exercising strong cost control and limited hiring and reduced share count may yield a penny better to RBC's FY4Q08 EPS estimate of $0.38. Operating expenses overall may trend near the low end of the guidance range of 36% to 37% according to RBC's sources.

The upcoming October quarter is seasonally weaker for Cisco yet RBC believes the company is building on its base level backlog which RBC estimates over $4.5B, providing additional comfort to RBC's revenue estimate of $10.4B or just 1% sequential growth and 9% YoY. Overall book to bill is shaping up greater than 1.0. Cisco in RBC's view will stick to its much longer term 12% -17% top line growth. Where things become variable is the January quarter where RBC is estimating revenues of $10.75B (+9%) vs. the consensus of $10.77B.

Cisco may point to growth outside of the US with strong progress in China and India. Japan finally seems to have turned the corner in terms of carrier spending. Broader stabilization in the US and a deeper dive into the commercial segment may enable to build upon its base level revenues. Cisco is not immune to macro economic trends and some sorely needed tailwind will be required for the company to meet targets for fiscal 2009, in RBC's view. For the near term however, Cisco may display strong positive metrics.

Do YOU agree with RBC's contrarian viewpoint, that despite negative sentiment Cisco could very well be a good near term investment? http://www.BradReese.Com Search 54,985 current Cisco Job openings worldwide!

Convergence Improves Airport Communications

Matthew Nickasch — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:27:19 -0400

With the US economy in a constant state of 'flux', organizations, companies, and even entire industries are obviously looking for opportunities to save money and increase innovation. Those who follow the news are no stranger to the current state of the air travel industry. With constantly shifting demand and load factors, decreased routes, and constant variation in fuel prices, the industry is looking to squeeze the last ounce out of every dollar. I recently spent quite a bit of last week at various airports while traveling on vacation. As a true telecom geek, I'm always curious about how organizations and entities are utilizing technology to aid in their daily operations. At a specific regional airport in the southeast US, the use of converged telephony was in full force.

Foretelling the future of cloud computing

Brad Reese — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 23:02:55 -0400

Douglas Gourlay - Senior Director of Marketing and Product Management of the Cisco Data Center Business Unit, foretells the future of cloud computing in his recent Cisco blog entry. Interestingly, Gourlay states: "What seems to be changing is the rate of change."

He then proclaims:

	"Enterprises will build mini-clouds."
	"Service Providers will move into higher revenue cloud models."
	"Hypervisors will become THE way of defining the abstraction between physical and virtual within a server."
	"Service Providers will scale their cloud managed application/hosting/hypervisor offerings out initially by taking ‘low hanging fruit’ applications."
	"IP Addressing will move to IPv6."
	"Workload portability between Enterprise Clouds and Service Provider Clouds."
	"The Value of Virtualization is compounded by the number of devices virtualized."
	"Someone will write a DNS or a DNS Coupled Workload exchange."
	"Skynet becomes self aware."

Speed in the standardization process

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:40:22 -0400

It is a characteristic of engineers that they will tackle whatever problem is in front of them. If footnotes are the problem, they will try to engineer a solution. It takes a strong and knowledgeable Chair to keep things on track. Good Chairs are hard to find what with the proliferation of standards bodies. It might be worthwhile comparing speed at IETF with speed at ITU-T. ITU-T has shaken up its processes and is now pretty fast.

Poorly thought out ideas shouldn't become rules without due process and public comment

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:22:51 -0400

It would be very foolish of the FCC to turn Michael Powell's raw and naive policy idea about allowing users to run the "applications of their choice" into a de facto rule without going through a public rule making process that could refine the language. Think about it: an "application" (a fancy name for a computer program) encodes behavior. And anyone at all can write one. So, insisting that anyone be able to run an application means that anyone can behave any way that he or she wants to -- no matter how destructively -- on the Internet. So, this requirement essentially means that no network provider can have an enforceable Acceptable Use Policy or Terms of Service. This is a recipe for disaster. What would it do to ISPs?

UNEDA: Cisco secondary market is not the Cisco gray market

Brad Reese — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 09:37:20 -0400

Yours truly asked Mike Sheldon - the President of UNEDA (United Network Equipment Dealer Association) for a UNEDA response to the recent ChannelWeb slide show feature: Gray's Anatomy: Dissecting A $58 Billion Market In their official response below, UNEDA takes issue with lumping the Cisco secondary market into the Cisco gray market:

UNEDA is pleased to see AGMA’s most recent KPMG white paper addressing counterfeit in the IT industry, but based on the data shown on ChannelWeb and the executive summary posted on AGMA’s site, UNEDA feels the white paper would be more comprehensive and meaningful if “gray market” and “counterfeit” were treated separately. To begin, it is important to distinguish the gray market from the secondary market—the two markets are not the same, no matter what AGMA (aka Cisco) would want everyone to think.

For anyone who takes exception to this, you only have to look as far as seeing the data from this white paper which offers no separation between the two markets. Furthermore, AGMA defines the gray market as:

"The Gray Market is the unauthorized sale of new, branded products diverted from authorized distribution channels or imported into a country for sale without the consent or knowledge of the manufacturer." "It is the unauthorized sale or improper diversion of new products obtained under deceptive circumstances."

Clearly, the deceptive resale of new products described above is not the same as the ethical resale of pre-owned equipment as is the raison d’etre of the secondary market. It is unclear whether the KMPG white paper distinguished the resale of used equipment from that of unused equipment. The majority of secondary market sales involve used and/or refurbished equipment, and top-tier independent resellers openly proclaim the status of products to avoid any confusion. Secondary market resellers do on occasion receive new-surplus inventory from channel partners and end-users, but, again, leading independent resellers market this equipment openly as new-surplus and clearly claim no support from the manufacturer. To lump ethical secondary market sales in with deceptive gray- and black- market activities clouds a much-needed analysis on the serious issues surrounding counterfeit abatement. Where is counterfeit coming from? UNEDA members have been vocal critics of IT hardware manufacturers letting suspicious resellers routinely post wares for sale on auction sites such as eBay and Alibaba. Of the 17 percent of vendors that have received counterfeit products from a gray market source, according to the KPMG white paper, it would be interesting to learn where they found the equipment. Search for Cisco equipment on any online auction and you will quickly find many “new” items at huge discounts available from “Cisco partners” in China, often with dubious packaging notes such as “bulk packaging.” All signs point to counterfeit, but these providers are as plentiful as ever, and, no doubt, the source of much of the 17 percent in question. Sixty-three percent of channel partners, identified as resellers, system integrators, retailers and distributors in the white paper, receive offers for gray market products... UNEDA members sell to many manufacturer channel partners, so we aren’t surprised to learn that 63-percent receive offers for “gray market” products. Many UNEDA members have long relationships with channel partners and become trusted resources for used equipment. An integrator’s primary business is to provide IT solutions for its customers. When a customer needs end-of-life equipment, inexpensive spares or affordable maintenance to support their IT infrastructure, integrators need alternate sources. The secondary market will never replace an OEM, but there are times that it is the right solution for the client. To protect the end customer, UNEDA does encourage channel partners to research secondary market providers and develop relationships with established companies. Like any market, and even the channel itself, the secondary market is populated by companies of varying quality, so taking the time to research and evaluate a source is always a smart course of action. Missing the bigger issue... What is largely missing in this white paper--and often is obscured by talk of margins and brand protection--is the customer. Slide No. 3 notes that vendors feel the gray market’s biggest impact is customer satisfaction and profit. The white paper offers many conclusions about channel partner policy, tightening procedures and enforcing guidelines, but it misses the larger issue: What do customers want and how can the market best satisfy that demand? Market forces demand a secondary market – companies want to buy at a lower cost and recoup value in surplus equipment. For manufacturers to be truly effective in protecting their brand, they must respond to this demand rather than ask customers to abstain from a practice that is beneficial to them. Manufacturers need to engage the secondary market with more than halfhearted marketing and begrudging relicensing policies designed more to deter than encourage participation. Continuing to focus on the elimination of the “gray” market through restrictive channel policies and propagating fear against outside resellers has been proven ineffective. Recently, Operation Cisco Raider highlighted this issue as Cisco channel partners were found to have purchased and resold counterfeit equipment to the Department of Defense. OEMs must understand that their partners are driven by the customers’ needs. Ignoring online counterfeit sources and the need for education on counterfeit detection, in favor of tighter channel policies, ultimately hurts the customer. Some statistics seem deflated... According to KPMG, the data was collected from a relatively small group of 198 respondents, representing OEMs, channel partners and brokers. Given this sample, data could easily be skewed, but we would have expected different results in terms of delivery and price. We would expect to see more next-day delivery (Slide No. 15), if respondents were buying from top-tier secondary market sources. Leading providers typically inventory as many unique products as Cisco’s own refurbished program, so next-day delivery is not uncommon. We would also expect discount ranges to regularly exceed 50 percent (Slide No. 14) for refurbished equipment, assuming that is included in this white paper.

Configuring NAT for load balancing

Brad Reese — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 09:16:39 -0400

Network Address Translation (NAT) is not usually used for load balancing. However, it can be used for multihoming. In some complex cases, NAT can be used for multihoming, which may achieve a certain degree of load balancing. However, it is the function of the routing protocol used that achieves the load balancing, not NAT.

How does the traceroute command behave in MPLS environments?

Brad Reese — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 08:37:35 -0400

In Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) environments, the traceroute command behaves differently than in non-MPLS environments. The MPLS traceroute command works slightly differently from the normal traceroute command because the routers running MPLS exchange labels to make forwarding decisions instead of IP routing information.
