VPN TECH: IS MPLS IN YOUR FUTURE?
by Paul Rubens
If you're fed up with managing virtual private networks (VPNs) then
take heart: you are not alone. Although automation and application
templates are making VPNs easier to get up and running every month,
they are far from straightforward. MPLS networks have the advantage of
ubiquity - pretty much every network service provider worth its salt
has, and is actively selling, an MPLS network, with the result that
there is now a globally available MPLS backbone.

STRATEGIC IT: BUILD FOR TOMORROW BY SIMPLIFYING TODAY
by Robert Haas, Dan Starta and Christian Hagen
If business and IT leaders want to position their organizations for
tomorrow, they need to tackle today's technologies and processes that
generate resistance to change.

**** WHITE PAPERS ****
http://networking.ittoolbox.com/documents/

DETECTING ROGUE USERS AND APS IN A WIRELESS LAN
by Trapeze Networks
This white paper addresses the complexity and importance of
identifying and detecting rogue users and APs in your WLAN. Detecting
these rogues, determining their location, and taking the right action
is critical to maintaining network security, preventing loss of
critical data and intellectual property and reducing potential
liability.
http://networking.ittoolbox.com/documents/document.asp?i=4966

TCP AND UDP PORTS USED BY CISCO UNITY VERSION 4.0
by Cisco Systems
This white paper provides a list of the TCP and UDP ports used in a
Cisco Unity version 4.0 environment. The information is useful for
configuring both Quality of Service (QoS) and Firewall/VPN solutions

Video and Integrated Data (AVVID) solution.
http://networking.ittoolbox.com/documents/document.asp?i=4965

ENSURING PROTECTION AND AVAILABILITY FOR MICROSOFT EXCHANGE

http://networking.ittoolbox.com/r/rdoc.asp?i=4956

DLTICE(TM) - STORAGE DOWN COLD(TM) ENABLING COMPLIANT DATA ARCHIVE
by Quantum Corporation
Compliance solutions by and large do not mandate that WORM (Write
Once, Read Many) media be used. However, in efforts to secure the data
that IT managers must retain, WORM functionality is a strong ally in
the effort to maintain the integrity of that data.
http://networking.ittoolbox.com/r/rdoc.asp?i=4945

CREATING BUSINESS VALUE THROUGH COMPLIANCE-ORIENTED BACKUP, RECOVERY,
AND ARCHIVE
by Quantum Corporation
Lawmakers and regulatory agencies have imposed new regulations that
require the retention and protection of electronic messages and data
records. This paper provides recommendations for backup, recovery and
archive strategies that enable infrastructure and operations to
support both compliance and business goals.
http://networking.ittoolbox.com/r/rdoc.asp?i=4944
