Computerworld Technology Briefing: A Great Leap Forward in Storage for
the SMB

When it comes to storage systems, small and medium-sized businesses have
had their share of challenges. Even when some storage vendors have tried
to address the unique needs of the SMBs, it has been with underpowered
versions of their enterprise-class products. The advent of unified
network storage has dramatically altered the SMB landscape by combining
iSCSI and NAS capabilities in a single, highly functional package that
delivers simplified management and enhanced scalability at a
cost-efficient price point.

TODAY'S TOP STORY
_________________

Cleaner VoIP

When a Voice over Internet Protocol user complains about a poor
connection, what do you do? Most check the network for dropped packets
or other errors, find no problems, and tell the user to stop
mumbling.

Enter Psytechnics (.com), a company dedicated to measuring responses of
both packets and the people relying on those packets for their
conversations. It doesn't matter if the packets are happy if the users
aren't.

The Pervasive Network Access Voyage

This white paper by analyst Jon Oltsik from the Enterprise Strategy
Group (ESG) describes the multitude of benefits associated with
providing network access to various users in the distributed enterprise.
However, this access comes with a price. The more endpoints and users
that access the network, the more dangerous the network neighborhood
becomes. Somehow, enterprises must strike a balance between network
access and security for internal and external users as soon as possible.
