Key Takeaways

4. INDUSTRY TRENDS MOVING TO AN APPLICATION CHAOS?
Devices & BYOD
Cloud & Applications
Mobility
The frontiers between private and professional are blurring.
41.7B App Downloads per year by 2015
Notes:
Mobility is the #1 priority for IT decision makers
41.7 Billion apps downloads by 2015
1.2 Billion Smartphones to be shipped in 2014
87% of Enterprises will add video conferencing by 2014
Desktop video conferencing is expected to double by 2017 – Frost & Sullivan
The BYOD phenomenon, combined with mobility and the move to the cloud creates an environment where users have access anywhere, anytime and with any device to a broad set of applications. This freedom and flexibility empowers and motivates employees to constantly explore and adopt new applications. Enterprises are getting flooded with new applications:
For instance by Q there were about 100 Billion apps downloaded from Apple and Android app stores combined. Another example more specific to the enterprise is that there are over 1000 custom apps developed internally to automate workflows and business process – this category of apps is growing at a blistering rate of 52% quarter over quarter (Good TechnologyTM Mobility Index Report Q2 and Q3 2013).
Just identifying SIP based multimedia traffic is not enough. Additionally, many apps are transition to an http interface. We had to augment our application detection capability and then control the network based on the context of the user, device and applications.
Ovum: APPLICATION DOWNLOADS: Growth in the content market shows no signs of slowing down. Ovum indicated that during BILLION APPS WERE DOWNLOADED. This figure reached over 18 billion in 2011 and it will reach 41.7 billion in (Source: OVUM, September 2011)
28% of US online adults are using personal cloud services already, along with 41% of US information workers. The market is expected to grow from $500 million to $6 billion in direct revenue by 2016, primarily driven by the adoption of multiple devices. I identify several other revenue models, from advertising to improved retention for related services to business IT purchases, putting the total market impact at $12 billion by The three main players in this space are Apple, Google, and Microsoft, with Apple leading the pack. The personal cloud becomes the third client software platform, following mobile devices and PC OS’es
Webification of business applications
DETAILED APPLICATION VISIBILITY IS ESSENTIAL TO HANDLE THE APP INVASION

Notes:
As applications migrate towards http/html interface, the app fingerprinting is key to provide visibility
Analyst notes:
No one else is looking at layer 4-7 as you are. Maybe Cisco will do it in the future with ACI, but I am not hearing from anybody else.

9. APPLICATION VISIBILITY AND ENFORCEMENT ON OS6860 POSITIONING: AT THE EDGE
Avg 33 flows/port
0 link agg flows
Avg flows/port
8K flows is the size of the flow tracker table – 166 ( for 48 port models) to 333 max flows for 24 port model
The two configurations on the right are not supported ( pink switches are edge switch with 1G uplink )
Reason: - Appmon is not supported on LAG ports and the flow table (8K will have to be shared b/n all access switches -> reduced number of flows per port -> irrelevant information
Application visibility and enforcement should only be enabled at the edge
Why not at the aggregation layer?
it is not supported on LAG
it will not be able to collect enough data to make information relevant
It is not a firewall
