Thanks to all who entered March’s Author Expert book giveaway. We’ll reveal the answers to the book giveaway trivia questions and name the winners in a moment, but first a public service message: We have more books to give away this month (check here). Each book title has an associated trivia question. In your entry, please be sure you note the book title you want to win and answer the question for that book – I’ve received some entries that answer questions for a different book to the one the competition entrant wants to win.
Here are the answers to last month’s questions:
1. Cisco Firewall Technologies by Andrew Mason, provides you with a no-nonsense, easy-to-read guide to different types of firewall technologies along with information on how these technologies are represented in the Cisco firewall product family.
Question: Whose firewall gear can now act as a policy engine for post-admission NAC?
Answer: Check Point (see this story)
Winners: Mike Z., James H., Andrew S., Steven T., Danny C., Martin K., Rick P., Gail H., Clyde B.
2. CCVP GWGK Quick Reference Sheets by Brion Washington. As a final preparation tool providing a review of GWGK exam topics, the CCVP GWGK Quick Reference Sheets complement the official Cisco curriculum, other books, or other exam preparatory material.
Question: With which company did Cisco announce a unified communications partnership at VoiceCon this month?

Winners: Rob S., Bill C., Tracy H., Pete B., Jeffrey K., George S., John A., Jason S., Robert L., Steven H.
4. We also had 15 copies of The Business Case for Storage Networks by Bill Williams to give away. We asked readers to describe their biggest problem in handling storage. Perhaps some of you wanted to keep that answer close to your vest and were shy in telling us. We had two winners: Jeff C., and Kent P. We still have 13 copies of the book to give away and they have been rolled over to this month’s giveaway. This time, all you have to do to win is answer a trivia question related to storage.
Thanks again to all who entered to win a book in March and congratulations to the winners. Be sure to check out this month’s giveaways (we also have a free chapter of each book we’re giving away this month to whet your appetite).
Good luck,
Your friends at Cisco Subnet
