Now you can future-proof your projects and your business. With the first open, industry-accepted standards for transporting audio and video over the network, AVB bridges the gap between AV and IT technologies.
The new IEEE AVB standards synchronize multiple streams of audio and video, eliminate buffering delays and create resource reservation. And because AVB standards leverage existing Ethernet technology, they will benefit from ever increasing speeds and enhancements backed by major consumer electronics companies, allowing the AV industry to benefit from solutions aimed at the mass market.
For IT Managers, AVB means end-to-end digital networks that are simple to design and easy to manage.
AVB advantages include:
· IEEE standards
· Significantly lower latencies
· Larger channel capacity
· Intelligent switches
· Ethernet-based
· Single network for all media, including non-AVB traffic
The threat landscape is characterized by a growing number of attacks of increasing sophistication and criminal intent. Business professionals must understand that safeguarding corporate data and assets requires more than a multi-layered approach to defend against malicious actors, web-based attacks, and inadequate security awareness. Defending business critical information assets and intellectual property will require innovative leadership, bold decision-making and cultural changes that strike a balance between security, privacy and the bottom-line. Failure is not an option!

From its beginning, Level 3 Communications was founded on the principles of the Silicon Economicssm cycle: create a global telecommunications network with the scale to reduce unit costs, stimulate demand with these lower costs, support that demand by scaling even more. Level 3 created a network that serves as a foundation for the communications services of the 21st century by providing, among other things, information transmission over a fiber optic network and media delivery over a content delivery network. And we’ve grown to support the end-to-end communications services that businesses and carriers rely on.
Today’s IT networks are a complex mix of interdependent devices co-mingled with application databases, business applications and various sources of identity information. The ever-increasing volume of information generated by these data sources combined with increases in service level agreements and reductions in operational staff has resulted in one of the biggest challenges in information technology today — effective and proactive network management. Without network availability and performance, business will suffer. Automated tools are required to manage the volume of network issues and critical events that occur each day, ensuring maximum network and application availability for mission critical functions.
That’s where LogMatrix comes in. Our network management software solution is an extensible monitoring and event correlation framework that enables users to implement their IT operational practices and policies.

Today, over 60% of enterprises have multiple SaaS apps, and that number is growing.
