NETFLASH: BREAKING NEWS FROM NETWORKWORLD.COM

By Jeff Caruso

If you're with an IT department at a large company, you
shouldn't be doing your own security - you should be outsourcing
it as much as possible. At least, that's what Gartner is saying.

Dearth of standard stalls Ethernet services

The only thing standing in the way of virtual private LAN
services on a national and even global scale is that there is no
standard for connecting these services between different
carriers.

Foundry launches all-fiber Gigabit/10G switch

Foundry last week launched a fixed-configuration, all-fiber
switch aimed at letting users aggregate Fast and Gigabit
Ethernet links into fat 10G Ethernet pipes.

Supercomm touts convergence

premiere U.S. trade show went out with a bang, drawing an
impressive roster of executive speakers and throngs of service
providers eager to upgrade their networks to support advanced IP
services.
