Users at HiFlex Conference Come from 16 Countries
Attendeeâs of the latest HIFLEX User Conference on the 15th and 16th of October 2009 had an intensive discussion about their experiences, expressing their opinions about new workflow approaches, strategic solutions and future visions for the print industry. HIFLEX users from 16 different countries accepted the invitation and joined each other in Aachen, Germany located about 50 minutes southwest of Dusseldorf.
The overall goal of this year’s HIFLEX User Conference was the sharing of knowledge and new solutions for business processes in the print industry. HIFLEX users from 16 countries on four continents attended the two-day event to pick up the latest news on the products HIFLEX MIS, HIFLEX Webshop and HIFLEX Print Support. While in Aachen, users discussed their experiences and learned from each other. In a rapidly changing industry these exchanges are rare and offer a unique opportunity to stay abreast of technology and regional developments.
âThe HIFLEX Users Group Meeting, aka HUGM, is a wonderful and unique experience for both HIFLEX customers and our employees,â stated Gary E. Marron, President & CEO of HIFLEX Corporation of North America. âWe congregate every year at this meeting and have tremendous excitement, enthusiasm and comradary. Our customers know that as HIFLEX users, they are doing things in their businesses that arenât being done elsewhere in print. Users are there to learn from HIFLEX and to share ideas with other users about how to accomplish more by fully utilizing the automation tools that HIFLEX provides. Everyone always comes out of the meeting charged and ready to go back to their businesses to conquer the next big project or challenge.â
Valuable inspiration
HIFLEXâs new and revolutionary applications are naturally an exciting topic, but it is the proven practical implementations that offer users the greatest benefits in their day-to-day work with the software. On both days, participants were able to choose the subjects most relevant to their own operations from a total of 32 workshops, each of which spotlighted different aspects of the solutions that were improved by HIFLEX.
During workshop sessions, users had the opportunity to seek valuable tips and inspiration from other users for their next strategic steps. The seminars covered a whole spectrum of topics from product calculation and imposition, order processing and job data verification via scheduling, production data acquisition and materials management, all the way through to product shipping. Presentations were also given on benchmarks for success relating to: HIFLEXâs powerful JDF integration and automation capabilities; the benefits of HIFLEXâs purchasing tool; HIFLEX Print Support, an advanced JDF capable print procurement tool (www.printsupport.com); HIFLEX Web2Print automation tools, including HIFLEXâs award winning HIFLEX Webshop System and a host of other advanced HIFLEX workflow systems. Additional highlights included new functions in the HIFLEX MIS Release 2009, an outlook on the planned future developments of HIFLEX software up to 2011, concepts for the marketing of open and closed webshops, and solutions for HIFLEX integrated CRM (customer relationship management) and advanced sales planning tools.
Far from just a sober presentation
The User Conference was far from being just another sober software presentation and demonstration. Instead it provided a platform for constructive exchanges and a fertile setting in which to establish and renew contacts to colleagues and the HIFLEX team. Even if many HIFLEX customers are already naturally progressive in their thoughts and actions, such discussions with industry colleagues who share similar goals is always useful. Getting a look at the complete picture of current trends and developments is extremely advantageous.
At the same time, HIFLEX was given a chance to soak up the comments, ideas and suggestions of its customers and users. Thomas Reichhart, HIFLEX Chairman, stated: âThe conference was a great success for all concerned. Our customers gained first-hand experience of how we are developing our solutions further; and as for HIFLEX, the time for personal discussions with our customers is simply invaluable. Our shared discussions and the direct feedback we received will no doubt influence the solutions HIFLEX develops in the future.â

Scaling Security in the Cloud: Just Hit the Reset Button
Scale â Today Security administrators deal with 10âs, 100âs, even 1000âs of servers but what happens when potentially tens of thousands of VMâs get spun up and they are not the same as they were an hour ago. Security assessments like Tripwire, while work, inject load and what if those servers are only up for 30 minutes? How can you be sure what was up and offering content was secure?Â
The âscaleâ weâre talking about is a combination of scaling processes and systems. We donât often talk about the impact of large-scale environments on processes but security processes are almost always the hardest hit as an environment grows because of the sheer volume of data and systems involved. That said, Glennâs idea to only allow servers to âliveâ for 30 minutes is an interesting one, and I am going back and forth between âthatâs a good ideaâ and âthatâs a bad ideaâ and âthereâs got to be a better way.â
One of the reasons this is a good idea is because virtualization provides a snap-shot in time, a known state, a known security posture for the applications deployed within the virtual container. By releasing it and launching it anew, you are assured of the security of the application and environment because it you essentially go back to the beginning. Any changes to the system since the last âlaunchâ are effectively wiped out (logging to an external storage system would be a requirement, of course) and any back-doors, trojans, malware, or rootkits dropped onto the system would be gone.
That would frustrate the heck out of an attacker, wouldnât it?
But it would also likely frustrate the heck out of end-users who might have been using the application at the time it was released.
There are a couple reasons this is just a bad idea, and the impact on availability to end-users is just the most obvious one. In a live environment itâs never a good idea to just âbring downâ an instance of an application â virtual or traditional â that users might be accessing. Doing so severs their connections and wipes out any session state that might have been stored on the server and forces them to âstart againâ. That said, if you this part of your security strategy you could ensure that developers understood this behavior so that the implemented a database-based shared-session model for the applications. If session data is stored in a shared database â on a separate instance â then the potential damage to user sessions is mitigated because it does not rely on any given application instance.
Assuming this is the case, you then have to be concerned about the loss of the connection to the application for users. Again, if you knew this was going to be one of your security techniques then youâd best let the network or application delivery network folks know ahead of time as they can ensure that users are seamlessly redirected to new (or other existing) instances as soon as the one they were connected to is released. Basically youâd have to ensure you had a load balancing solution in place to ensure reliability of access to the application.
This also means itâs more likely you should always have instances of the application available, and rotating through this up-down-up-down schedule on different time intervals.
Overall youâre likely to incur higher costs with this kind of a strategy as well. It is typical for providers to charge âby the hourâ and any partial hour is counted as a full hour. Rotating server/application instances every half-hour would likely incur charges for two instances per hour instead of one anyway.Â
This strategy also does very little to address the most pressing security threat facing applications today: tainted user data. Thatâs going to hit the database, and unfortunately Glennâs âgo back to the beginningâ approach to security would be disastrous when applied to virtual environments in which a database is running. You
If we employ the use of an infrastructure 2.0 capable application delivery network we can utilize Glennâs technique in conjunction with other security technology to provide better coverage in a more dynamic way. Consider that the integrated network and application network security capabilities of the application delivery network can protect application instances against web application attacks, especially those that are really targeting the database, e.g. SQL injection.
Also consider that an application delivery solution can provide the failover capabilities required to assure availability in an environment in which instances may be going down and coming up in a highly volatile pattern.
That addresses the âbadâ and the âuglyâ impact on end-users resulting from Glennâs âup-down-upâ technique, leaving us only with the âgoodâ.Â
But it really doesnât address the root of the problem, the reason Glenn suggests going back to the beginning in the first place: volatility and change. Scaling security processes across thousands of virtual instances is problematic, I agree, but one of the reasons itâs so hard to scale is that you donât know whatâs going on. Thereâs currently no real collaboration across the entire infrastructure. Security folks canât get a good feel for whatâs going on in a large scale, dynamic environment because the information they need to correlate and assess the current security posture of the environment and applications is dispersed across the infrastructure.
Whatâs
needed is an overarching system that can integrate security solutions
with the rest of the infrastructure. When a virtual environment is
brought on line the security infrastructure needs to know about it ânot
just to apply the proper policies but also to assess its current
posture and ensure it is added to the pool of resources that needs to
participate in the larger security scheme. If a HIPS (Host Intrusion
Prevention System) is used to monitor a system for intrusion and its
alarm is triggered, that information
needs to be imparted to the of
automatically virtually patching the vulnerability if possible and allowing the instance to launch while notifying security and developers that thereâs a vulnerability in need of patching.
