Chrome 2.0 adds speed, not much else
Google's Chrome browser, the one product Google may have moved from beta a bit too soon, is now officially at Version 2.0. And while the new version boasts some useful features, it's still missing many more that have come to be expected in an enterprise-grade browser.

Cisco responds to our Interop FCoE story
Guess there wasn't enough Cisco content in our FCoE coverage from Interop -- not enough for Cisco's liking anyway. Company PR found it necessary to respond to our story that, while FCoE was a hot topic at the show, it's a tad premature to get all lathered about it.

Do branch offices need routers anymore?
Recent wireless-centric remote networking announcements imply that the corporate LAN experience can simply be "extended" into enterprise branch offices without the need for IP routing. Such a setup is possible, particularly for single-person offices. But it's not likely to become the de facto configuration for all enterprise branch offices.

Are you ready for Mi-Fi?
Innovation comes in a lot of forms. Sometimes there's a totally new product or service that sends ripples through the industry. At other times, it's taking two (or more) existing services and combining them to come up with something truly unique.

How To: What NAS Can Do for the Small Business
Any business of any size runs on information, whether it’s keeping track of accounting data or managing the flow of proposals and orders. Over the past 25 years, computers have transformed the way that small businesses operate, making it possible to organize and manage information in ways that simply was not possible in the days of paper ledgers and index cards.

PCI Standard or Not, Encrypting Internal Network Traffic is a Good Thing
Internal networks are notoriously insecure, so why wouldn’t you encrypt PCI data end to end? What makes an Internal Network somehow so inherently secure that encryption is not needed? I would contend that even the idea of an Internal Network is inconsistent with today’s network architectures.

Lowering the threshold, part one
Android is a modern, capable, perhaps even "sexy", mobile operating system. However, you can say the same thing about iPhone and Palm's upcoming WebOS. What distinguishes Android from those two is being open source. In theory, Android should be able to add more capabilities more quickly via having more people contributing to its development. In practice, contributing to Android is far from easy. The simple things (e.g., contributing to documentation) are hard, and the hard things (e.g., overhauling built-in applications like the media player) are byzantine.

The next wave of SaaS
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) has gone from a curiosity to the mainstream in just a few years as businesses turn to the technology to take advantage of the inherent economies of scale. Yet that's only the beginning.

DNS news and tips
DNS is not secure and is extremely vulnerable. DNS is at the core of every connection we make on the Internet. While some servers are indeed vulnerable, because of inadequate management or knowledge, the real threat is from the protocol itself and how data is easily subverted or faked as it moves around the internet.
