Trustgrid’s existing alerting features enabled our customers to monitor node life cycle information including – connections (up/down), profile updates (config changes), and health checks (health of remote hosts). You can now monitor disk, CPU, and memory utilization and latency between nodes. You’ll find this... Read More

Cloud applications that depend on edge data suffer when an outage or slow down occurs on the network. Our latest release emphasizes fast and accurate triage by visualizing important data such as hardware resource consumption, network performance, and events. At a Glance The Trustgrid Portal Dashboard shows real time usage in both volume and sessions, broken down by domain. A... Read More

We recently wrapped up extensive performance testing of our TLS based tunnels when compared to IPSec and direct (no encryption) connections. For the sake of brevity we’ll post the results in a series of blog posts. There are two architectures that Trustgrid offers to connect applications to datasets at the edge. The most simple is a direct two node connection... Read More

Michael Vizard at SDxcentral.net discusses the rising trend of using software defined networking/network virtualization to increase network security. Though most SDN deployments have been focused on automation/orchestration of tedious network tasks, many SDN tools have a much better security architecture than traditional networking products. VMware’s NSX is a datacenter SDN product that is spear heading the “micro segmentation” architecture. Segmenting the... Read More
