The Inevitable Failure of Content-Aware Network Devices

Wanted to point out the new IDC White Paper we posted to the site last week.  The report is titled, "IDC Vendor Spotlight: The Inevitable Failure of Content-Aware/DPI Network Devices - and How to Mitigate the Risk." For those of you in the industry, you may recognize the author, Elisabeth Rainge, who also put together IDC's "Worldwide Network Test and Measurement 2008-2012 Forecast."

The report highlights the benefits of testing network equipment using a broad range of applications and live security strikes at 10 Gigabits per second speeds with heavy network traffic. Some good data in the report for anyone looking at network equipment testing. Check out the report and let us know what you think.
