NETFLASH: BREAKING NEWS FROM NETWORKWORLD.COM

By Jeff Caruso

There were rumors a month ago that Cisco might buy Trend Micro -
it turns out the two were working on fleshing out their
partnership instead. The companies have developed a security
service to help Cisco equipment owners set policies based on
information coming from the anti-virus vendor.

3Com introduces branch office wireless

3Com took Trapeze Networks hardware and created a wireless LAN
switch. It's actually the kid sister to 3Com's other wireless
switches, and coordinates with them over a WAN link.

Opinion: Skype: Hazardous to network health?

While not exactly a low-profile endeavor before its recent
acquisition by eBay, Skype is sure to be an even greater
presence on the Internet and on home computers - and most likely
on your corporate network. But can Skype be hazardous to your
network's health?

Painless patching

An emerging category of network equipment is giving network
executives more time to install security patches by keeping
servers safe until full-blown fixes can be tested and installed.

ONStor, 3Par merge NAS and SAN

Network-attached storage vendor ONStor and storage-area network
vendor 3Par last week said they have joined forces to deliver an
offering that combines the best of both of their technologies.
