Among the tragedies and failures in our country's response to
Hurricane Katrina, there have also been heartwarming stories of
heroism and compassion. One such story involves volunteers who
are rebuilding the communications infrastructure needed to help

Cell phone tossing contests catching attention abroad

It's either great catharsis, or a sad commentary on what passes

what it sounds like. Plus costumes.

Continuous data protection finds supporters

Demand for continuous data protection is growing as more
businesses realize they not only need to back up the data on
their networks as changes are made but also be able to recover
that data quickly. Nearly every storage vendor has acknowledged
developing a continuous or near-continuous data protection
scheme for retrieving even the most recently saved data.

IS IT THE NETWORK OR THE STORAGE THAT'S THE PROBLEM?

become a complex mix of servers, networks and storage systems.
