"On vacations we hit the sunny beaches, where we occupy ourselves
keeping the sun off our skin, the saltwater off our bodies, and
the sand out of our belongings."

Erma Bombeck

Dear Vorticians,

I'm leaving.

Yes, for the next two weeks, I'll be on the shores of Lake Kezar
in Maine and you'll be without my witty and incisive commentary.

To ease you through this difficult period, I've posted an in-
depth report on a terrific session that Geoff Moore and I hosted
at the Churchill Club in Silicon Valley this week. Do you think
that the idea of IT as a competitive advantage is dead? Do you
think that IT doesn't matter? Then you probably don't want to get
into a discussion over drinks with Cisco's Randy Pond and
Fireman's Fund's Fred Matteson, who completely debunk the notion
that IT is not a differentiator.

See how these innovators are putting Geoff's concepts of "core
and context" to work in their companies and how they are
profiting as a result. What do they want from vendors? Where
should VCs invest their money? Is service-oriented architecture
full of hot air?

Take a read and find out. (Software vendors pay particular
note.)
http://www.networkworld.com/weblogs/vortex/2005/009630.html#00963

As always, I hope you'll share your thoughts, either by using the
feedback mechanism on the site or by e-mailing me at
mailto:jgallant@vortex.net.

Bye for now.

P.S. If you're in Maine, look me up!

*********************************************************
CIO Debate at VORTEX: Utility Computing - The End of Corporate
IT?

VORTEX 2005: Setting the IT Agenda
Breakthrough to Value
Oct. 24-26 at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco
*********************************************************
Author Nicholas Carr sparked months of controversy and discussion
when he argued that IT didn't matter. Carr's back to argue an
equally volatile idea - that the emergence of utility computing
(computing provided by a service provider) means the end of the
corporate IT department as we know it. But rather than pit Carr
against another pundit, two CIOs - one a utility computing
customer - will debate the power and limitations of utility
computing and what it means for CIOs and their organizations.

Register by Sept. 16, 2005 and save! We welcome all Vorticians to
join us at VORTEX 2005 and are pleased to offer you a special
registration rate of $2,995(a $500 savings).

NETFLASH: BREAKING NEWS FROM NETWORKWORLD.COM

By Jeff Caruso

The story so far: After the ISS researcher gave his
controversial presentation at the Black Hat conference - in
defiance of Cisco's wishes - he lost his job and stirred up all
sorts of legal questions. But then what happened? See the
stories below to find out more about Michael Lynn's point of
view and the legal agreement that was reached.

Today's focus: A viable user group: ACUTA

By Steve Taylor and Jim Metzler

In our continuing discussion of user groups, last time Michael
Finneran mentioned the Wall Street Technology Association (WSTA)
as one of the relatively few surviving advocacy organizations.
We also heard from ACUTA, the Association for Communications
Technology Professionals in Higher Education
<http://www.acuta.org/>.

Jeri A. Semer, ACUTA's executive director, wrote, "There is
definitely still a place for user associations, and the fact
that ACUTA is thriving is proof of that. We have a clear focus
serving communications technology professionals at colleges and
universities (the only such organization with this specific
focus) and we offer our members the opportunity to share
information and to network.

"The great old organizations you mentioned, such as ICA, TCA,
and CMA, are no longer around partly because their need for an
advocacy role faded, but also because, in my opinion, they
didn't evolve. Like those groups, ACUTA's focus at one time was
on voice technologies and the people who led telecom
departments. But unlike them, we saw the trend of a converged
voice-data function, and successfully transformed our
organization to mirror the changes taking place at our members'
institutions.

"As far as the question you posed, whether organizations like
ours are still needed, we answer with an enthusiastic yes. While
we do serve a regulatory advisory capacity on behalf of higher
education interests, our larger role is to afford our members
the opportunity to network with and learn from each other.
That's why most of the speakers at next week's annual conference
are ACUTA members, sharing with other members the ways they have
implemented and managed technologies on their campuses.

"There's a comfort level in a community like ACUTA, with members
knowing they can contact each other, or post requests for
information about technologies, vendors, applications, and other
issues, and get helpful, cooperative responses.

"We would like to see more organizations like ours out there,
going strong and helping their own communities deal with the
dizzying pace of technological advancement."

Many thanks to Jeri for sharing these thoughts. Indeed, one of
the major challenges over the past few years has been for these
organizations to converge the scope of their focus, just as
users have had to implement organizational convergence within
their own communities.

Today's focus: SonicWall eyes SMB market with upcoming SSL VPN
gear

By Tim Greene

SonicWall is coming out with SSL VPN gear later this year for
small and midsize businesses at prices it hopes will be a big
draw.

The two devices the company will have available in the third
quarter of this year are called the SSL-VPN 200 and the SSL-VPN
2000.

While some might say it's pretty late to get into the SSL game,
given the recent mergers and acquisitions among SSL vendors,
SonicWall may be in a good position because it is already
established as a security vendor and because it isn't trying to
compete for the largest customers. The latter keeps it out of
the sights of the biggest competitors such as F5, Aventail,
Cisco, Juniper and Nortel.

The 200 is a desktop appliance with five 10/100 Ethernet ports
and the 2000 is a rack-mounted device with four ports. The
company hasn't set prices for them yet, but expects the range
for the 200 to be somewhere between $500 and $1,500 and between
$1,500 and $5,000 for the 2000.

These prices put it in a category with the relatively young SSL
vendor enKoo, whose philosophy has been to sell pared back SSL
gear that is inexpensive enough for small organizations. Like
enKoo, SonicWall doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles such
as software to check that computers trying to establish SSL
connections to a SonicWall box meet security policies. But that
may be OK with the small businesses that SonicWall is targeting,
as they may not be aware of the capabilities of higher end SSL
VPN equipment.

SonicWall says it will have fewer tiers of license packages, so
they can go from a license for, say, five users to a license for
unlimited users with fewer steps in between. The limit of
concurrent users will be set by limitations of the hardware, but
the company says it hasn't tested for those limits yet.
SonicWall says it expects the 200 to support about 20 concurrent
users and the 2000 to support about 200. Low-end users will want
to take a look at these devices.

Today's focus: A quick rundown of e-mail acceleration and
caching

By Mike Karp

Last time, we raised the issue of the of e-mail problems for
remote office users. Today, one approach to a solution.

One new technology that's gaining acceptance is the idea of
e-mail acceleration and caching. This technique places a caching
appliance at the central IT facility and typically smaller
versions of the appliance at each remote site. The strategy
here is to store attachments at the main site, sending them
across the WAN only when they are really needed. When that
occurs files go out over the WAN in compressed format using a
WAN-optimized protocol. The attachments are then cached at the
branch office on a small appliance. Whenever an attachment is
sent to multiple recipients at the office, it only crosses the
WAN once; local redundant copies will be served out of the local
caching appliance.

The appliances maintain their own file systems, and set pointers
between e-mail messages and their attachments (now however, the
pointers reference the cached copies of attachments, allowing
multiple e-mails to share an attachment). As a result,
organizations keep e-mail servers consolidated at the datacenter
where they can be managed most effectively; remote users get the
performance of a local mail server, and bandwidth requirements
are minimized.

Today, when a user at a remote office receives a 10M-byte
PowerPoint file from headquarters and then decides to forward
the attachment to 10 members of his team, the original file is
sent back to the datacenter and assigned to each team member's
mailbox. Each recipient now has a discreet copy of the file,
and each copy must be accessed over the WAN. The result of this
sending and forwarding is that the original 10M-byte file has
now taken up 120M bytes of bandwidth (10M bytes for the original
user to receive it, another 10M bytes to send it back to the
data center, and then 10M bytes for each of the 10 team members
to retrieve it again). Ask yourself how many times each day this
happens in your company.

Let's look at how a caching solution might improve things (I
built this example using Tacit Networks' Ishared Exchange
<http://www.tacitnetworks.com/> ).

With local caching, things are quite different. When the remote
office user first clicks on the icon to open the original
10M-byte file, it has already been significantly compressed -
perhaps to below 3M bytes - and has been sent over the WAN via a
WAN optimized protocol. Performance is significantly improved
already. More significantly, when the file is forwarded to the
10 team-members, the original copy no longer moves across the
WAN. Instead, the forwarding message points to the copy of the
presentation that is stored in the cache.

The result of this is that when each of the 10 members clicks on
the file icon in the message, it is opened and pulled from the
local cache. In the end, the original 10M-byte file actually
takes only 3M bytes of bandwidth for both the initial
transmission and for the forwarding to the rest of the team. The
original 10M-bytes was compressed and sent to Fred, then each of
the other recipients read the attachment from the local cache.

The result: after the first send there is no further WAN
involvement, everyone gets performance from a local server, the
bandwidth used is a fraction of what traditional methods would
have needed.

Next week, more on e-mail.

Today's focus: Appliances speed converged traffic

By Denise Dubie

Converged Access last week unveiled a family of application
acceleration products that the company says could cut monthly
bandwidth costs in half and potentially could improve
compression efficiency 60%.

The company's Converged Compression Appliance (CCA) line
performs what the company calls "selective compression," which
further compresses traffic such as VoIP that could already be
compressed. The appliances can also auto-discover, monitor and
report on more than 1,400 applications.

According to Converged Access, applications such VoIP and
Citrix-based applications, which tend to be
performance-sensitive, can be excluded from Web traffic that is
locally cached to assure optimal performance for every
application. The company says its appliances have "the ability
to expand bandwidth by up to 10 times" and ultimately "the CCA
can increase WAN capacity by as much as 240%." The company also
says the monitoring capabilities in the CCA enable IT managers
to get an accurate picture of application and bandwidth usage.

The CCA appliances come in four flavors:

* CCA-6110 - WAN speeds of up to 512K bit/sec for small and
  remote offices.

* CCA-7110 - WAN speeds of up to 2M bit/sec for branch offices
  that have T-1/E-1 connections.

* CCA-8110 - WAN speeds of up to 10M bit/sec for campus
  environments.

* CCA-12100 - WAN speeds of up to 100M bit/sec for enterprise
  data centers.

The Converged Access CCA series of compression appliances are
available immediately with pricing that begins at $1,500.

Today's focus: PlateSpin migrates virtual environments

By Deni Connor

A virtualization software vendor just made consolidation easier
with the introduction of technology that automates the migration
of data, applications and operating systems.

Called PlateSpin PowerConvert, the software allows IT to migrate
data among physical servers, virtual machines or image archives
in different combinations. It can be used to consolidate servers
or for disaster recovery, provisioning or migrations to new
hardware.

PowerConvert works for Intel-based servers and allows IT
managers to adapt their operations to meet service levels. It is
available in three configurations - Universal, Consolidation and
Recovery.

PowerConvert Universal can be used for consolidation, disaster
recovery, migrations, provisioning and data center optimization.

The Consolidation configuration is designed for users that have
VMware's or Microsoft's virtualization products. It allows data
to be migrated between servers. Typically, server environments
need to be manually rebuilt during server consolidation.
PowerConvert lets users create and configure new physical
servers or drag and drop existing virtual images to a new
server.

The Recovery configuration works with Acronis' True Image,
Symantec's LiveState, Ghost, Veritas Backup and NSI's Double
Take to allow automated recovery to a server.

PlateSpin PowerConvert is licensed by the number of migrations
performed and the number of servers it will be used on, starting
at $2,000 for 10 migrations.

The two-year-old company is only one of the vendors interested
in virtualization - others include Microsoft, VMware, LeoStream
and Softricity.

The virtualization market is growing
<http://www.networkworld.com/nlservers4026> as users want to
consolidate their servers. According to Gartner Analyst Jeffrey
Hewitt, it will see double-digit growth.

Today's focus: Hungary's 'ultimate' file manager for NetWare

By Dave Kearns

In our never-ending search to find the best third-party tools to
help you manage and maintain your NetWare network, we've
literally gone all over the world.

<aside> While I have traveled a lot, it really wasn't in search
of utilities. That search was conducted online and through
e-mail. When I say "literally" I use it in its modern sense,
according to The American Heritage Dictionary of the English
Language, Fourth Edition:

"USAGE NOTE: For more than a hundred years, critics have
remarked on the incoherency of using literally in a way that
suggests the exact opposite of its primary sense of 'in a manner
that accords with the literal sense of the words.' In 1926, for
example, H.W. Fowler cited the example 'The 300,000 Unionists
... will be literally thrown to the wolves.' The practice does
not stem from a change in the meaning of literally itself - if
it did, the word would long since have come to mean 'virtually'
or 'figuratively' - but from a natural tendency to use the word
as a general intensive, as in 'They had literally no help from
the government on the project,' where no contrast with the
figurative sense of the words is intended.

Just in case you thought I was misusing the word! </aside>

For this week's entry, I wandered around Hungary (at least
virtually) to try to understand what CNW Rendszerintegrációs Rt.
is, or what it does. Unfortunately, there are few (if any)
Hungarian-English translators available on the Web and I wasn't
going to spend hours with a dictionary trying to work it out.
Fortunately, the part we're interested in is in English.

CNW Commander V2.25 <http://www.cnw.hu/ccnlm> describes itself
as "the ultimate file manager of the NetWare server console" (I
didn't say it was perfect English).

What can you do with CNW Commander? Among other things, you can:

* Perform NDS and bindery authentication to remote servers.
  * Work with both local and remote volumes.
  * Access the local SYS:_NETWARE directory.
  * Work on local DOS drives.
  * Handle DOS and LONG names.
  * Copy, rename and/or move directories and files.
  * Transfer LONG name, flags, rights, ownership, and directory
   space restriction.
  * Preserve compression during any change.
  * Create and delete directories.
  * Set/unset flags for directories and files.
  * View and edit files (without the limitations of EDIT.NLM).
  * Zip/unzip by using HRZIP.NLM/HRUNZIP.NLM.
  * Compare files by content.
  * Split a file or join files together.

It will also allow you to view:
* History and favorites.
* Directory and file information.
* Open file information.
* Volume information.
* Server information.

CNW Commander is fully cluster compatible and, according to the
readme document <http://www.cnw.hu/readme.html> :
"The CNW Commander has been tested in the following OS
environments:
- NetWare OES
- NetWare 6.5 (with or without NW65SP3)
- NetWare 6 (with or without NW6SP5)
- NetWare 5.1 (with or without NW51SP8)
- NetWare 5 (with or without NW5SP6A)
- NetWare 4.11/4.2 (with or without NW4SP8A or NW4SP9)

It can be run (but has not been tested) on
- NetWare 4.10
- NetWare 4.0x

It can't be run on NetWare 3.x."

CNW Commander is shareware. Licenses start at $96 for one server
up to $1,008 for a site license. Download it
<http://www.cnw.hu/cc.zip> and try it out, then register it if
you like it. I especially wonder about one feature, which the
documentation describes as "restart local server in a brutal
way." Like I said, it's not perfect English.

Today's focus: Two state laws add to messaging compliance
requirements

By Michael Osterman

The list of regulations to consider when thinking about
messaging compliance continues to grow. You may have to worry
about SEC rules, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach-Bliley,
California's SB 1386, the U.K. Data Protection Act and a number
of other requirements, such as the CAN-SPAM Act. Add to this mix
two new state laws that make it illegal to send certain types of
e-mail to an address that can be accessed by those under the age
of 18.

Michigan and Utah have both passed laws that went into effect
earlier this month that make it illegal to send e-mail to
children whose e-mail addresses are included on a "do not
e-mail" list managed by each state government. Michigan's law
established the Children's Protection Registry, a database of
addresses much like the Federal Trade Commission's "do not call"
list. Under the Michigan law, anyone who sends e-mail
advertising any of a variety of banned products or services -
including obscene material and illegal drugs - to someone on the
list can face fines up to $30,000 and up to three years in
prison for multiple offenses. The law became effective July 1
and compliance must start by Aug. 1.

Utah's law and children's database registry also became
effective July 1 and contains provisions similar to those in the
Michigan law.

It's difficult to know how effective either law will be at
stopping spammers or legitimate e-mail marketers from sending
spam to children, given the fact that neither law has even been
in force for three weeks as of this writing. I suspect, however,
that the laws will be relatively effective at preventing
legitimate marketers from sending stuff to children for the
simple reason that those who would comply with the law are
legitimate. The effectiveness of the laws against spammers,
however, is likely to be nil, since anyone who would market
obscenity and illegal drugs via spam is unlikely to be overly
concerned about staying on the right side of the law anyway.
That said, I would certainly register children's e-mail
addresses with both states' registries given the potentially
significant upside potential of both laws.

I'd like to get your take on these laws and the notion of a "do
not spam" list in general - please send me your thoughts at

Today's focus: Will adult content drive mobile video adoption?

By Keith Shaw

Wireless carriers like Sprint and Verizon Wireless continue to
push video services over mobile phones to customers, regardless
of whether customers want it or not. I spotted a recent Verizon
Wireless ad touting a $99 VCast-enabled cell phone.

Everyone I've chatted with (including two hip Plantronics PR
representatives) has dismissed the usefulness of mobile video -
the general response I get is, "Why would I want to pay $x for
that?"

My anecdotal evidence now has some statistical backup. A recent
In-Stat mobile phone subscriber survey shows that one in eight
respondents are interested in purchasing mobile video services
from their wireless carrier. I guess 12.5% is actually quite
good, but it's unclear how many people were surveyed by In-Stat.
According to the same survey, two-thirds of mobile phone
subscribers "are not yet ready for video services on their
handsets," a number that hasn't changed from the previous year's
survey, the research firm says.

Still the company predicts that the number of subscribers buying
mobile video content in the U.S. will grow from 1.1 million this
year to more than 30 million by 2010. The firm suggest that
long-term loyal customers are the least interested in buying
mobile video, meaning it will be the hardest sell to those
customers who are the most valuable to the carriers.

Maybe pornography will help drive mobile video services, but the
issue of pornography on mobile devices is thorny to carriers. A
report by Informa Telecom says the market for erotic content on
mobile devices can be worth $2.3 billion by 2010, but this is
"highly dependent on mobile phone carriers and content providers
working with regulators" to provide age verification procedures.

The Informa report says that Vodafone and other operators in the
U.K. have taken a proactive approach to the issue, by making
sure that subscribers who want the content are age verified
properly. The report says that the introduction of age
verification systems in the U.K. has actually resulted in an
increase in traffic for adult content - possibly because
consumers are more likely to use services that they are
confident in.

In the U.S., mobile carriers are currently taking a "walled
garden" approach to all mobile content, which means that at the
moment there's not much erotic content traveling over mobile
phones here in the states. However, Informa says that consumer
pressure and succeeding direct-to-consumer channel strategies
will mean that the walled garden approach won't be around long
term. "Without controls, operators will find themselves being
used to distribute adult content whether they like it or not,"
the report says.

According to Informa, by 2010 there will be more than 114
million regular users of mobile adult content around the world,
with the stipulation that carriers have instituted the proper
controls.

It seems like the marriage of mobile video services that are
having difficulty finding a market, and the erotic content
providers, which always tends to generate interest in
technology, will be around for a while. At least in 2010.
