View Now Microsoft up for its share of Pwnies at Blackhat conference If you're a technology company trying to maintain a reputation for security, you don't necessarily want to receive a Pwnie Award at the annual Blackhat security conference in Las Vegas. While some legitimately honor enterprising security experts who uncovered vulnerabilities, or important research, others are ignominious, such as the award for "Lamest Vendor Response" and "Most Epic Fail." Read More Adobe joins Microsoft's patch-reporting program Adobe and Microsoft are now working together to give security companies a direct line into their bug-fixing efforts. Read More Video previews Microsoft's Office 2011 plans Microsoft has started rolling out more details about Office 2011, the upcoming upgrade of its productivity suite. On Wednesday, the company posted a brief video on its Mac Mojo blog showing off a few of the suite's new features. Read More WEBCAST: Dell Companies spend 30% more on software licenses than needed. Poor visibility into remote assets, an inability to ensure the security of PCs, and failing to deliver satisfactory service to end users on a consistent and cost-effective basis are a few of the challenges that IT executives face as they struggle to manage software across their organizations.

Read More Nearly half of Microsoft's 2010 security patches have known problems Last month's fix of a broken Windows Server patch got me thinking -- just how often does Microsoft release a patch that it knows has problems? The answer: nearly half the time. How often are those problems so severe they fry your system? That's less clear, but it seems as if the answer is, "not all that often."

This podcast covers the rules of thumb for successful IT consolidation and explains the top 3 challenges for IT. Learn more! Microsoft Office licensing now a bit easier for Citrix users Microsoft Office, Visio and Project are all device licensed applications. This means that a device holds the license, not the user. So every device that uses one of these products has to hold a license for the product. That can make for an expensive proposition for companies who allow their users to access these applications via Citrix or Microsoft Application Virtualization.

Read More Google Apps project delays highlight cloud security concerns Google led a coup against Microsoft to win the contract with the city of Los Angeles to provide messaging and productivity software for roughly 30,000 city employees. Nine months later, though, implementation is behind schedule as Google and the city of Los Angeles address security concerns with the cloud-based services.

Read More Are you as tired of lazy vendors as I am? Dealing with vendors can be maddening to say the least. One of the reasons is because whenever you find a problem with their DB code they're very reluctant to change it. And to a degree I understand that because they've got regression testing to do to make sure it doesn't break anything else, but very seldom do vendors bother updating their DB code at all.  Read More

Many faces of spectrum management; Should you even bother looking at Windows Phone 7?

	Should you even bother looking at Windows Phone 7? | How can employee-owned mobile devices be secured and managed on corporate networks?
	Network World Wireless				Forward this to a Friend >>>
	The many faces of spectrum management Managing the airspace in any wireless network is critical for avoiding interference and optimizing performance. There are many different approaches to controlling the air in Wi-Fi networks, and most enterprise-class Wi-Fi vendors now have a whole suite of radio frequency management tools, many of them conveniently automated. Read More RESOURCE COMPLIMENTS OF: Extreme Networks From Physical to Virtual to the Cloud The migration from a dedicated infrastructure to a shared and outsourced cloud infrastructure is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. With Extreme Networks "Four Pillars" strategy, Enterprises and Hosting Centers of any scale can approach change in a logical and affordable, stepwise fashion. Read More In this Issue Should you even bother looking at Windows Phone 7? How can employee-owned mobile devices be secured and managed on corporate networks? How are large-scale, dense Wi-Fi networks affecting radio management issues? Is Sprint losing its WiMAX/4G gamble? How can wireless and wired security be brought together, rationalized and managed? What's the impact of carriers' new 'capped' wireless data plans on corporate networks? How can enterprise WLANs manage the bandwidth crush from mobile devices and multimedia apps? AT&T now patching flaw that slowed iPhone 4 Entrepreneurs see profit in iPhone 4 antenna problems Droid X is now hard to get, just like Droid Incredible and Evo before it Google Android Market looks to protect apps ShutterSnitch can grab camera pics via Wi-Fi WHITE PAPER: Hitachi Optimizing HA and DR in Microsoft® Virtualized Environments This white paper discusses how organizations can leverage the joint Microsoft and Hitachi solution to create a cost effective, highly available and remotely replicated virtual server infrastructure. Read Now Should you even bother looking at Windows Phone 7? Windows Phone 7 is shaping up as the most innovative mobile UI since, well, since the iPhone introduction three years ago. Read More How can employee-owned mobile devices be secured and managed on corporate networks? With the rise of personal mobile devices, a growing number of enterprises have scrapped the homogeneity mandate: instead of requiring employees to use a standard smartphone, more IT departments are now looking at some degree of control over employee-owned (or "employee-liable") devices, to manage and secure them. Read More How are large-scale, dense Wi-Fi networks affecting radio management issues? One emerging issue for some enterprise Wi-Fi networks is radio management challenges as the number of access points and wireless clients grow. Read More Is Sprint losing its WiMAX/4G gamble? Sprint faces serious challenges in offering its mobile data services over the WiMAX infrastructure being rolled out by its wholesale network partner Clearwire. Read More WHITE PAPER: Hitachi The BIG Five Benefits - File and Content Storage Unstructured data growth is exploding and shows no sign of cooling down. This drives organizations to seek a real solution to their data challenges. This is the introduction of a unified, integrated storage family to manage all block, file and content data. Read Now How can wireless and wired security be brought together, rationalized and managed? Like many things in IT, this security convergence is a work in progress. But as wireless LANs become the primary connectivity for more enterprise users, integrating wired and wireless becomes more pressing, especially around security. Read More What's the impact of carriers' new 'capped' wireless data plans on corporate networks? The short answer is that no one knows exactly, yet. In June, AT&T announced tiered wireless data plans shortly before the launch of the iPhone 4. Existing subscribers could continue with unlimited plans, but new customers have to choose between DataPlus, $15 a month for 200MB of data traffic or DataPro, $25 a month for 2GB. AT&T says the two plans cover 98% of current customers, 65% of whom currently use less than 200MB. Read More How can enterprise WLANs manage the bandwidth crush from mobile devices and multimedia apps? Some existing wireless LANs, based on 802.11abg gear, already "are buckling under video applications," says Andrew Borg, senior research analyst for wireless and mobility at Aberdeen Group, a technology research and consulting firm based in Boston. And the surge in sophisticated mobile devices is making it worse. Read More AT&T now patching flaw that slowed iPhone 4 AT&T is patching software in its network to fix a bug that kept iPhone 4 users from getting the full upstream speed on their handsets.
