Cisco has announced that Cisco Tetration Analytics<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>now automates policy enforcement, enabling organisations to build secure environments for their business applications and also expands Tetration with new deployment options. Building on Tetration\u2019s original discovery and visibility capabilities, Cisco\u2019s latest software for Tetration Analytics<\/a> now provides the industry\u2019s first consistent security policy enforcement applied holistically across each application. Policy is enforced regardless of where the application resides: virtual, bare metal, physical servers, or in private or public clouds, across any vendor\u2019s infrastructure. This new enforcement model binds policies to workload characteristics and behaviours while ensuring that the policy stays intact even as the workload moves.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnterprises worldwide are adopting multi-cloud strategies to realise their objectives for digital transformation, but these present ongoing challenges related to visibility and security. Although 80% of security spending is focused on the perimeter, only 20% of the breaches occur there. IT organisations are often under siege by a mix of elevated expectations and a rising tide of security threats, not to mention the need to show ongoing improvements in operational efficiencies,\u201d said Osama Al-Zoubi, Chief Technology Officer, Cisco Middle East. \u201cCisco Tetration Analytics addresses these challenges through pervasive visibility and application segmentation, which is designed to bolster security-policy enforcement across hybrid application environments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Complex Applications Challenge Security\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s complex business applications often span hundreds of servers residing on a wide array of heterogeneous infrastructure, both in the data center and in the cloud. This complexity is further compounded by virtualization technologies, application mobility and constant application changes due to modern DevOps environments. As a result, IT managers are challenged to understand an application\u2019s components, their communication pattern and dependencies \u2013 all necessary to meet security requirements for modern applications.<\/p>\n

Enhanced security through application segmentation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tetration Analytics takes micro-segmentation\u2013 a security technique enabling workload separation \u2013 a leap further by delivering \u201capplication segmentation\u201d, which consistently drives policies across the application layer, regardless of where the application resides: virtualised, bare metal, physical servers, or in the cloud. Policies can be pushed to any vendor\u2019s firewall, and can be orchestrated at the network layer as well. Compared to static legacy solutions, Tetration provides actionable results dynamically based on behaviour analysis of billions of flows, processes, and workload characteristics. Consistent policy is enforced through the workload agent for any workload, anywhere.<\/p>\n

New Tetration deployment options<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cisco is also delivering two new deployment models for Tetration Analytics. In addition to the original large scale platform, Cisco now offers a new smaller-scale platform, Tetration-M, suitable for deployments up to 1,000 workloads. Cisco is also introducing a new cloud appliance with software deployed in the public cloud on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Tetration Cloud \u2013 also suitable for deployments up to 1000 workloads. Regardless of the deployment model, Tetration can monitor workloads in private as well as public clouds.<\/p>\n

Platform extensibility through APIs and apps<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tetration Analytics now enables customers and ecosystem partners the ability to write their own applications that access data stored on the platform. Users can bring their own analytics algorithms to Tetration to create apps that generate customised data exports and notifications in open formats specific to their business needs. Cisco is continuing its tradition of open ecosystems<\/a> by working with partner companies to build applications and integrations<\/a> with their solutions: AlgoSec, Citrix, Dell EMC, F5, Infoblox, ServiceNow, and Tufin.<\/p>\n

Cisco ASAP Data centre<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tetration Analytics is a key part of Cisco\u2019s strategy to help enable digital transformation, which starts with a Cisco ASAP data centre. ASAP stands for Analyse, Simplify, Automate, and Protect. This architectural approach enables organisations to modernise their data centre and IT infrastructure with a hybrid IT solution that maximises application performance, mitigates risk, and increases operational agility in support of digital transformation. Cisco\u2019s comprehensive data centre portfolio underscores its commitment to innovation: Cisco Nexus 9000 switches, Cisco ACI, CloudCenter, Tetration Analytics, Cisco UCS, and HyperFlex.<\/p>\n

About Tetration Analytics<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tetration Analytics is designed to help organisations gain complete visibility across everything in the data centre in real time \u2013 every packet, every flow, and every speed. Tetration gathers telemetry from software and hardware sensors and analyses the information using advanced data centre analytics<\/a> and machine learning to provide IT managers with a deep understanding of the data centre. Through a single pane of glass, security policies are automated and enforced based on context and roles. Tetration simplifies operational reliability, zero-trust operations and application migrations to SDN solutions and the cloud. \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
