Juniper Networks is expanding its network and security management software to include more of the company's product line, making it easier for customers to set security policies across their infrastructure rather than doing so using several product-specific platforms.

Network Instruments has developed what it claims is the largest network data recorder available. The GigaStor SAS has a capacity of up to 288 terabytes, and was originally developed for a U.S. military customer which needed to store a month's worth of the traffic on its network, said Douglas Smith, the company's president and co-founder.

As more companies deploy virtualization technologies, more network managers expect the technology to introduce management challenges to their environments, according to an Interop show poll.

Zeus Technology, has launched a new version of its application delivery software, ZXTM. The new release, version 5, will include Java extensions enabling developers to include Java libraries.
