Network World's Convergence & VoIP Newsletter, 05/07/07 Up close and personal with TelePresence By Steve Taylor and Larry Hettick Last week, Larry had the chance to attend an analyst briefing about IPTV from Cisco in a Cisco TelePresence center and found the experience delightful, especially when compared to the standard analyst phone briefing – and a much better experience compared with traveling across country for a few-hours-meeting. Cisco first released its TelePresence solution last October. The picture and sound quality were superb. Larry could read the local time on the presenter’s wrist watch (on one of three HDTV monitors) while sitting across a conference table about 8 feet away. The room was set up so Current Analysis employees were sitting on one side of the table and speaking with Cisco participants who looked and sounded like they were across the other side of the table; if fact the two “halves” of the table were actually located in Herndon, Va., and in San Jose, Calif. According to the Cisco’s original announcement, the quality image was achieved by using HD cameras, encoding/decoding, and monitors set at 1080p. The bandwidth required to run the session was 10Mbps to 14Mbps.

Participants at the distant location were “life size”, and the audio followed them as they walked around the room. The PowerPoint presentation originated from the distant location and was projected onto a screen locally when the distant presenter plugged in his laptop. The meeting room set up and tear down were accomplished with a “one touch” button on a Cisco IP phone located in the conference room; the scheduling for conference room activation was set-up when the meeting organizer booked the room and participants with a Microsoft Outlook meeting invitation. Only two things missing that Larry could observe. Participants couldn’t shake hands in person, and they had to exchange business cards electronically instead of across the table. Otherwise, a very pleasant way to get the latest on Cisco’s IPTV portfolio. Disclaimer: Larry’s opinion is his own, and it is not meant to be a Current Analysis endorsement of the Cisco TelePresence solution over other alternatives.   What do you think?

Management and security: Still separate but equal?

Network/Systems Management This newsletter is sponsored by Oracle TCO: Making the Most of Your Information Technology Investments Discover how to use the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) approach and four key strategies to chose the best technologies to benefit your organization and its unique needs and requirements. Network World's Network/Systems Management Newsletter, 05/07/07 Management and security: Still separate but equal? By Denise Dubie I've said it before and I'll say it again: It makes sense to use certain technologies to both manage and secure your network. Yet while vendors continue to provide integration between, say, configuration management software and endpoint security products, most companies are keeping the tools separate -- for now. The trend is to more tightly integrate management and security offerings, but vendors will continue to offer two separate tools rather than one product. A recent example of this is Microsoft's news around its Forefront and System Center products. The company announced the expected availability of Forefront Client Security and System Center Essentials 2007, detailing that the two products are integrated and built upon the same management infrastructure based on Microsoft's Operations Manager. But if management and security are two great tastes that taste great together, then why keep them separate? There is more to it than vendor's hoping to cash in with one customer twice. For one, most large enterprise IT shops already have multiple management and security tools. While they may be looking for better client security software, they may not be in the market for an update to their systems management software. Vendors, like Microsoft, realize they need to offer customers functionality in bite-sized chunks that can be digested by a variety of IT shops with myriad products. Get more out of your IT dollar Business Services Management lets you get more out of your IT investments by aligning business goals and your core infrastructure. Network World Editor-in-Chief John Dix and IDC Research Manager Stephen Elliot examine BSM's benefits and how enterprises are starting to take advantage of this strategy. Attend now! "Enterprises have already made lots of management investments and are interested in leveraging them," says Jasmine Noel, principal at research firm Ptak, Noel and Associates. Another factor, industry watchers say, is the existing IT structure will keep vendors from provide just one tool to manage and secure certain parts of the network. So while the technology seems to be converging, the IT organization is lagging a bit behind. Plus completely merging two separate IT domains could cause a greater shift within the organization than enterprise IT shops can handle today. "Internal IT politics is often aligned with spending power," Noel explains. "If security solutions are so integrated with infrastructure management solutions that the security purchasing decisions are controlled by the infrastructure management budget, then the security budget -- and the political influence of security vice presidents -- dwindles. Obviously, there is little incentive to consider tightly integrated solutions without an executive mandate." But that all changes when you move down to small and midsize companies who welcome integrated products that tackle more than one IT domain. The IT managers have struggled to get more out of point products and resisted the bigger time and money investment of frameworks. Offerings, like Microsoft's, which provide deep integration but also offer purchasing choices (you don't have to buy an entire framework to get benefits) would be ideal for smaller shops. While small IT shops have a thing for point products, the updated offerings and new level of integration could lure them away, analysts say. "Microsoft is playing it smart with the separate-but-leverageable solutions," Noel adds. "The first vendor to nail the trifecta of extreme usability, integrated functionality and the right price point will break through the inertia – and look for point-product empires to topple like dominos."   What do you think?

Homeless man disrupts Internet2 service

Optical Networking This newsletter is sponsored by SolarWinds The Shortcut Guide to Network Management for the Mid-Market This guide outlines real-world technologies and processes to implement centralized management of your network infrastructure. Using the OSI FCAPS model as a framework, this eBook explains the critical components of fault, performance, configuration and security management, as well as network troubleshooting and diagnostics. Network World's Optical Networking Newsletter, 05/07/07 Homeless man disrupts Internet2 service By Adam Gaffin A fire started by a homeless man knocked out service between Boston and New York on the experimental Internet2 network Tuesday night. Chris Robb, an engineer at Indiana University's Global Network Operations Center who works on Internet2, says Level 3 Communications cables used by the network went up in flames. The cables were on the Longfellow Bridge, which connects Boston and Cambridge across the Charles River. Robb, who co-authors the Internet2 Network Upgrade blog, writes that Level 3 engineers estimate it could take one to two days to restore the circuit. Engineers are looking at rerouting a Chicago-to-New York OC-192 circuit that normally goes through Boston to Washington until service is restored.

Authorities say the fire, which also disrupted service on the Red Line subway, started around 8:20 p.m. when a homeless man tossed a lit cigarette. The cigarette landed on a mattress, which ignited and led to a two-alarm fire.   What do you think? Post a comment on this newsletter
