NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS
With the Arkin Operations and Security Platform, organizations can embark upon the road of implementing a modern, secure software-defined data center with confidence. Software-defined data centers bring enhanced security, high application agility, simplified operations and cloud like cost economics to enterprises. The Arkin platform converges visibility and analytics across all components of the data center technology stack spanning compute, networking, security and virtualization. With greater visibility comes better security and operational simplicity. Arkin greatly accelerates the time to value, enables advanced security models such as micro-segmentation, and drastically reduces troubleshooting time, operational complexity and overall cost of securing and operating today’s data centers.
Arkin provides complete visibility for workloads including comprehensive health across all silos, security state (effective firewall rules), and network connections and paths (to Internet, to other virtual machines, to physical). This is very critical both from security as well as operational perspective. Imagine having to troubleshoot virtual machine communication issues where the culprit is spread across multiple domains. A simple setting such as MTU could be in a mismatched state across the different layers of the data center (virtual nic, physical nics, virtual and physical switches and routers). We have seen our customers pull their hair trying to find an answer to such needle in a haystack kind of problems. With Arkin we enable users to proactively monitor, alert and troubleshoot in the context they seek, across the domains of compute, network, security in physical and virtual environments.
How we are different
Flow Analytics and Application Visibility:
Visualize a comprehensive East-West and North-South traffic profile of your data center. Discover how your multi-tier applications are communicating within and outside, including physical machines, shared services and internet. Determine disallowed communication, unidentified service endpoints and unprotected flows and machines, via a rich set of security analytics. Quantify physically switched/routed traffic that can be easily optimized by leveraging virtual switches and routers (software-defined networking) and protected by virtual firewalls (micro-segmentation). Another benefit is bringing consumer grade experience to enterprises. Arkin Operations and Security platform enables IT to move away from CLI based or 'certification-oriented' operations of their data center and embrace a modern consumer-grade approach to operations. Arkin's Google-Like Search capability allows IT operations to search their entire data center for contextual analytics using plain English. This does two things. First IT operations need not learn or memorize arcane commands or have to worry about getting Arkin certified. Second and more importantly, IT operations need no longer work in silos in a disjointed fashion. Arkin enables IT organizations to communicate and collaborate seamlessly across multiple domains and silos.
Micro-segmentation On-Ramp and Security Planning:
Automate application micro-segmentation and virtual machine groups using flow patterns, static & dynamic configuration and network characteristics. Leverage rich analytics to define security groups, hierarchies, inheritance policies, ipsets and distributed firewall rules leading to easy, fast micro-segmentation. Ensure deeper security without compromising connectivity and availability for both new and existing applications.
Security Operations, Firewall Audit and Compliance:
Monitor, track and audit security group memberships and effective firewall rules for and between virtual machines, thus enabling rapid troubleshooting and easy compliance. Alert on firewall and security group inconsistencies across management, control and data planes, ensuring accuracy of implementation vs. definition, in a micro-segmented environment. Capture compliance and operational security policies using a simple Google-like Search interface.
