New Tetration models deliver faster deployment and pay-as-you-grow
flexibility
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
-- Cisco today announced two new consumption models for its
Cisco® Tetration solution for the data center and cloud:
Tetration SaaS, the cloud-based solution for cloud-first and
cloud-only organizations, and Tetration-V, a software-only version
using a virtual appliance for smaller deployments. Both models
deliver the same features and functionality as the original
on-premises form factors of Tetration. Tetration automates
application dependency mapping and whitelist policy generation and
enforcement, gives insight into network performance, and offers
cloud workload protection. The Tetration APIs enable IT
organizations to create custom applications with access to
Tetration data sources, allowing the export and enforcement of
policies generated by Tetration across SDN controllers and security
devices.
With the new consumption models, organizations can
adopt Tetration technology within hours, with no initial investment
and the flexibility to pay as they grow.
With Tetration SaaS, organizations gain the
benefits of a fully managed model, including:
- Workload protection features without any
on-premises hardware requirements
- Protection for on-premises, public, and private
cloud workloads
- Scalability up to 25,000 workloads
- Data retention for months
- Faster onboarding to realize the benefits of the
platform quickly
- Built-in high availability and disaster recovery
capability
- Service backed by world-class SLAs
- Managed services provided by Cisco channel
partners
For organizations that deploy fewer than 1000
workloads and prefer a software-only approach, Tetration is
available on a virtual appliance. It offers one-click deployment
and allows organizations to use their own server and storage
infrastructure.
Both Tetration models deliver a ready-to-use
solution to identify data center applications, their detailed
dependencies, and the underlying policies between different
application tiers. Operators can implement a zero-trust model using
whitelist policy and segmentation, monitor the behavior of server
processes, and identify software-related vulnerabilities. Tetration
is able to identify high-severity security events such as certain
Spectre and Meltdown exploits using behavior-based anomalies,
allowing proactive quarantining of affected servers. With this
approach, Tetration provides holistic cloud workload protection
anywhere. For more information, see A Recipe to Keep Your
Hybrid Cloud Workloads Safe.
"Cisco Tetration helps Xentaurs manage successful
cloud and data center deployments for our clients by ensuring every
single connection and flow to an application is visible," said Anoj
Willy, CEO, Xentaurs. "Without this critical information, app,
cloud, and data center migrations would be impossible to precisely
guarantee nothing is missed and everything is as it is intended.
Tetration goes further in establishing and enforcing a zero-trust
environment that is the foundation for microsegmentation, down to
containers and next-generation services development."
Cisco's architectural
approach to security
Tetration is also a core technology in Cisco's
data center security and workload protection portfolio.
Tetration works with Cisco ACI and Cisco's security portfolio,
including Cisco Firepower® Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW),
Next-Generation IPS (NGIPS), Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), and
Stealthwatch® to deliver effective security that follows the
workload everywhere. Now operators can see everything across their
network, reduce the attack surface, and stop data center breaches
from moving laterally across workloads. For more information,

Multi-Cloud World.
Cisco Services for
Tetration
If requested, Cisco can also provide professional and support
services for Tetration SaaS and Tetration-V, including: support for
Tetration onboarding and use-case support to accelerate Tetration
adoption and optimize policies and security, resulting in a faster
time to value with Tetration.
Availability
Cisco Tetration SaaS is scheduled to be available
in May 2018. Tetration-V is available now.
