Intuitive Real-Time Network Monitoring Using Visually Orthogonal 3D Metaphors

Tags:
monitoring systems

Overview With denial of service attacks and self propagating network viruses adding to today's network conditions, managing edge networks with the intention of providing a quality service requires vigilance by highly skilled network administrators. This paper believes the use of intuitive, interactive 3D representations of real-time network state information will improve the ability of non-specialist operations staff to understand and react to anomalous network behavior. The paper defines a set of visual metaphors that represent dynamic activity metrics unique to IP networks in an easy to interpret manner. The prototype software, 3VEN, implements many of the IP metrics to visual metaphor mappings suggested, using data collected from a darknet source.

Viruses and DoS attacks hitting half of businesses: DTI

According to the survey, 93 per cent of smaller companies and 99 per cent of large companies use antivirus software, which means around one in 14 small companies and one in 100 large firms have no specialist protection against viruses.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
