There are many compelling reasons for virtualizing Windows and Linux applications. Virtualization improves server utilization by allowing you to run multiple workloads on a single physical server. It reduces the number of physical servers you have to maintain, while allowing you to use less physical space and power while still improving scalability. All of these capabilities translate directly into lower costs, less complexity, and greater flexibility in your mixed IT environment.

The 3G Punch? There have been good 3G phones out for months and months and years.- Anonymous
Security vendor Reconnex on Monday introduced an upgrade to its network content monitoring appliance that is designed to give corporations greater control over protecting intellectual property and privacy.
Version 5.0 of iGuard 3600 includes enhancements that focus on helping enterprises find sensitive data at rest in the organization so that it can be flagged for alerting and blocking if viewed by an unauthorized user or sent out of the organization against company policies. The upgrade includes new tools to help customers analyze and update their rules that decide what is considered sensitive and how that information should be handled, says Faizel Lakhani, vice president of marketing with Reconnex. These new features go beyond the previous versions, which centered on alerting customers when sensitive information was being viewed by unauthorized users or leaving the company.
"The [information leakage] problem has three phases: Before information is leaked, how do I find where it is sitting at rest in the network; preventing it from leaving the network; and how do I know I set all the rules correctly?” Lakhani says.
Version 5.0 uses a concept-vectoring technique to help organizations break complex ideas down into sets, communities and channels that the product can then search for and protect, he says. When used in conjunction with iGuard’s capture capabilities, organizations can feed words, phrases, languages and circumstances into the system that define intellectual property and how it should be handled. To help in this information discovery process, version 5.0 automatically scans and registers sensitive data at rest in repositories or files and includes prebuilt templates for managing risk, Lakhani says.
If an information breach does occur, version 5.0 includes tools that can reconstruct how it took place in an effort to prevent it from happening again, he says. The product can feed intelligence to switches, proxies, encryption servers and e-mail gateways to help prevent sensitive information from leaving the organization.
