Q4 2007 Email Threats Trend Report from Proofpoint and Commtouch

(Source: Proofpoint) In 2007 botnets came of age, developing into sophisticated peer-to-peer networks that dynamically avoid blacklisting and fight back against anyone who tries to eliminate them. Botnets were responsible for keeping global spam levels high, averaging 80% throughout the year and peaking in early Q4 at 96%.
Regulations Shift Focus on Outbound Email Security

(Source: Proofpoint) Outbound email poses a data loss and leakage risk. Mitigating risk is becoming important and complex with new information privacy and data protection regulations for internally and externally exchanged information. Regulations like Personally Identifiable Information Guidelines place additional constraints on how data is stored, processed, and transmitted. Regulation compliance involves encrypting confidential corporate and private personal data.

Case Study: Golder Associates

(Source: Riverbed) Golder Associates wanted to create a new, centralized Intranet, but was concerned about the performance of this system when accessed over the WAN. Upon review, Golder deployed the Riverbed Steelhead appliance solution not only because of its superior application acceleration, but also because of its easy integration with Golder's existing Cisco-based network. Additionally, Golder beta-tested Steelhead Mobile for use with its mobile workforce, and found it significantly improved performance.

Tracing Performance Issues to Their Source

(Source: Borland) Load testing without code-level visibility is like looking for a needle in separate haystacks. To isolate problems and resolve them fast, you need diagnostics built specifically to work under load testing scenarios. Learn the right way to do performance testing- while supporting multiple platforms in real-world conditions.
The Missing Piece of Virtualization

(Source: Neterion) Server virtualization saves money and increases flexibility.  But it faces some real limits.  Currently, I/O-intensive applications like databases or ERP systems are often excluded from virtualization, due to bottlenecks that are introduced by extra layers of software.

I/O virtualization changes the game.  With new industry-standard technologies and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, hardware-based IOV eliminates these bottlenecks, enabling higher numbers of VMs and applications per virtualized system. To uncover new cost saving opportunities, read this new whitepaper and find the missing piece of virtualization.
The Hidden Costs of Data Migration

(Source: Acronis) This white paper will outline the factors that are driving data migration and examine the hidden costs that may be encountered when data is moved. When replacing or consolidating systems and meeting constantly increasing capacity needs, data must be migrated from one place to another; it's become a routine task in most IT departments. However, with business and operational needs dictating that critical systems be available 24/7/365 and the complexity that results from non-commoditized and heterogeneous environments, data migration has become a task that is both increasingly important and increasingly difficult.
Wireless Site Survey Best Practices

(Source: Fluke) As wireless technology continues to mature, new wireless applications and appliances continue to emerge. There is increasing demand for transmitting voice and video, as well as the need for accurate positioning of users and assets accessing the WLAN. Site surveys are invaluable for designing and optimizing WLAN networks to support these applications. This paper provides insight into best practices for executing wireless site surveys.
Super-size your LAN with fiber

(Source: Fluke) Fiber optic technology frees the Local Area Network (LAN) from the confines of a single building, allowing a LAN to extend across a campus or a metropolitan area. Read how the selection of fiber optic components affects repeaterless transmission distance and how one school district used fiber to build a more reliable and more cost effective high-speed, district-wide network. Also, read how Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) ownership may require self-assessment of network performance.
Troubleshooting Remote Site Networks - Best Practices

(Source: Fluke) Management and remote site employees expect the same level of network service as the headquarters site. However, when IT staff are faced with limited resources to support remote site networks, often the applications, services and performance at those sites is not as robust as the headquarters site.

See how to deliver a high level of network service at remote sites using the best practices outlined in this white paper.
