This session covers new innovations from Cisco in order to enable enterprise network security policy. Cisco focuses on recently shipped or soon to be shipping products focused on enabling better scale, device classification, and analysis. The scale of network security policy has been dramatically increased by the integration of SDA/SDWA. The innovation of device classification is needed so that a network administrator can build policy groups more easily and more accurately. In addition, they discuss Policy Analytics which will enable the network administrator to more easily visualize policy groups and the relationships between the groups. This relationship encompasses network traffic which can be analyzed to determine if it’s legitimate traffic and hence be used to create security policy.

Callan Fox, Consultant, Product Management, discusses the transformation of the Isilon OneFS storage platform from dedicated appliances to a software-defined storage solution. The core strength of the PowerScale OneFS operating environment software is the migration-free design that allows new nodes to plug-into clusters in 60 seconds. PowerScale can start as small as 11TB and grow to massive scale in the petabytes with the same ease of use. It includes a scale-out filesystem with a single namespace, a storage operating system, and advanced data services. The goal was to create a system that automatically balanced access, was elastic for non-disruptive scaling, included inline data efficiency, was resilient even with multiple node failures, offered unlimited file and object access, and was simple to manage. Fox is joined by Kaushik Ghosh, Director, Product Management in his discussions with the Tech Field Day delegate panel.
