Now manufacturers like to play with concepts, this is also the next generation, that is also the next generation, tens of thousands of manufacturers, tens of thousands of next generation, it seems that if they do not say so, they cannot represent their own strong R & D strength. If they say so, it means that they will lead the industry in the future! The old, my next generation, still crying in my home, but also moving will be beaten PP.

Of course, it's good for everyone to like it, at least it means that everyone is trying to innovate. As for the value of this innovation, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the concept is to fry, otherwise how to prove that you are a leader in the industry.

Earlier, I nagged in front of the research and development manager of Shanshi network management platform for almost three nights. I told him that I didn't see anything to break through in the box, but in terms of network management, some did! The hope of the future mountains and rocks lies in you! If you think about it, nowadays, all kinds of network management platforms are managed separately, and there is no unified UI. More importantly, there are many innovative aspects of the network management platform. For example, few network managers have added network performance indicators, while those with network performance indicators all belong to network performance management products, and such products are targeted at enterprises that are extremely sensitive to network performance requirements, such as finance. Some key applications, such as operators, are high-end and expensive. But in fact, ordinary small and medium-sized enterprises also have requirements for network performance, but the requirements are not particularly high. For some indicators, such as delay, packet loss, bandwidth utilization, and so on, it is very helpful to enterprise network management, but the acquisition of these indicators is not complicated and difficult for the rock box, if these are integrated into the network management, and the box is used as a probe. It will be a great innovation and will be of great help to the box market. And so on, said a lot!

Later, when this guy returned to Beijing, he asked me if I could write him a report. in my opinion, the report was very rigorous, with reasonable evidence, facts and data, because this kind of report can be said to be an investigation report, but it can also be said to be a feasible report. in short, it takes a lot of time and effort, and I naturally refused. And then, this guy left! Later, the next generation of intelligent firewalls of Shanshi Netek was released.

Sad, I said there was no breakthrough on the box, so they broke through and showed it to me! Obviously was hit in the face, but fortunately, I am a small potato, keep talking, no one pays attention to.

Let's take a look at the breakthroughs of this next generation. Here are the functional values described on its website:

1. Multi-dimensional network-wide health assessment, intelligent prediction of security risks

2. Accurate application identification and control to achieve fine-grained support of security management and control functions.

3. Enhanced intelligent traffic management (iQoS) to achieve fine management and control up to two layers and eight levels

4. Innovative packet path detection technology to help users locate and troubleshoot faults efficiently and accurately.

5. Rich visualization makes it convenient for administrators to fully understand the status of the network and achieve efficient operation and maintenance management.

In my opinion, it is impossible to make a breakthrough. In essence, it is a functional enhancement, but 1 and 4 are indeed breakthroughs.

First look at 1, look at the following picture:

Obviously, the health index of the whole network has introduced some indicators of network performance, mainly the detection and calculation of delay. According to the relevant data, delay detection is through the initiative to send packets, and wait for the response, and then calculate according to the response delay, and take the average in a period as an indicator. Obviously, this is still very valuable for network management, network managers can understand the network situation according to this index, and combined with the detection of their own equipment resources, the network-wide health index obtained is still of reference value. However, it is undeniable that the analysis of the performance decline of a particular application is still a long way off. after all, such an analysis should also include the server, network, database and the application itself.

Look at 4, in fact, this is really interesting, look at the following picture:

Did you see that? Yes, it can simulate how a specific packet enters the device step by step out of the device, which processes are processed along the way, and how the processing is visualized. In this way, if a certain data does not work, it is easy to know which process you have failed in! In fact, it is not only a simulation, but you also have to test it by importing a packet. For example, if a user tells you that one of his applications cannot be used, the user can actually grab the packet and send it to you, and you can import it into the device for testing. To find out what the problem is.

In the past, similar functions can be achieved through DEBUG, but now it has been visualized and enhanced a lot. I have to say that this has been done very well, which can save the administrator a lot of trouble.

On the whole, the whole product has done a lot of innovation in visualization and other aspects, or micro-innovation, we can see that this is a very sincere product. But looking at so many dazzling functions, I have to think, the performance of this device is very high, and the equipment has to install a decent database, so the hard disk must be indispensable, right? In this way, in a complex network with large traffic, will there be any problems with its stability and reliability when deployed at the gateway? Unfortunately, I do not have the equipment to test, some details can not be confirmed. In addition, it is said that this device moves millions, so I have to worry that this thing is obviously a cross-border game, and if users are looking for network performance and management solutions with millions of budgets, will they choose this product? After all, compared with professional similar products, there is still a lot of gap. So, in my opinion, it would be better if this product is located in small and medium-sized enterprises.

Anyway, whether you accept it or not, the next generation is coming, we are getting old!
