I recently mentioned that NetWare 6.5 would ship with a "companion CD" that contained "stuff" (software, demos, evals, promos and slideware) from independent software developers. But I only mentioned two companies (Blue Lance and NetVision) that would be represented. We'll correct that oversight today by letting you know what else you'll be able to find on this delightful CD. You wouldn't need this stuff to run NetWare, but it would help you enjoy your NetWare more thoroughly - it's like the toy in a box of Cracker Jacks.
Open source software ready for big business

Open source has moved into a new phase where it is evaluated more on its technical merits than on the community model of software development. Here's a collection of established companies, up-and-comers and outright start-up projects worth watching.
Juniper's relationship with Packet Design
11/09/09
In our Oct. 26 WAN newsletter we discussed the fact that there were a number of rumors circulating about a dramatic move that Juniper would soon announce. On October the 29th Juniper used the New York stock exchange as a backdrop to make a series of announcements. We are doing to use this newsletter to focus on one piece of the Juniper announcements – Juniper's establishment of a close relationship with Packet Design.
Detailing contingency planning

Despite the inclusion of "for Federal Information Systems" in the title, SP 800-34 Rev 1 has a great deal of value for all information assurance and business continuity specialists.

* AdRem sfConsole 5.0 (30-day evaluation version).
Blue Lance:
* LT Auditor+ Server Edition (Fully-functional "lite" version of LT Auditor+ Server Edition developed exclusively for NetWare
6.5).
Intermine:
* File Census (a 14-day free trial license).
NetVision:
* NetVision Integrated Security Policy Management (Introduction Presentation).
* NetVision Integrated Security Policy Management (Product Demonstration).
VMware:
* VMware GSX Server for Windows Operating Systems (a license key that is valid for 15 days).
* VMware GSX Server Windows client package (a license key that is valid for 15 days).
* VMware GSX Server Linux client package ((a license key that is valid for 15 days).
We've talked about some of these products in previous newsletters - AdRem, Blue Lance, NetVision, and VMWare have all been featured not only here in the NetWare newsletter but also in my Wired Windows column for Network World. Intermine's File Census is new to me, though, so I suggest you visit the company's Web site (http://www.intermine.com/) to learn more. Any company that starts off its product pitch by saying "Intermine FileCensus lifts the fog of size and complexity obscuring intimate knowledge of your storage environment..." deserves to have its marketing materials read. I get the impression its copywriter might moonlight for Harlequin Romances.
