WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT DATA-THEFTS?

For years, hackers have obtained confidential information by
manipulating legitimate users into revealing it. It's critical
that companies convey to their employees - local and remote -
why security measures are important. If you're curious to see

Today's focus: Java jives with Linux, open source

By Phil Hochmuth

With Java and open source technology now as intertwined as they
are, it's no surprise that many announcements out of last week's
JavaOne conference in San Francisco had either a Linux or an
open source slant.

Sun, the sire of Java, celebrated the technology's 10th year by
announcing that two of its Java-focused application server
platforms will be released as open source, free software. Sun
says its Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9.0 as
well as its Java System Enterprise Server Bus (ESB) product will
become free software.

The Java System Application Server is software for developing
XML-based Web services software in Java, and the ESB product is
used for running the applications. These two platforms join the
free code category with Sun's own Solaris operating system,
which was released to the open source community last month.

In addition to the Sun news, open source application server
rival JBoss also announced a partnership with Sun rival HP,
where JBoss' Application Server (AS) is now certified to run
with HP's Linux Reference Architecture, a blueprint for how
software and hardware should interact on HP servers.

JBoss AS is certified to run on HP ProLiant and Integrity
servers, and the partnership will give HP engineers access to
JBoss engineering resources to make the AS platform and HP Linux
servers run together more smoothly out of the box, the vendors
say.

One interesting fact brought up at JavaOne was the shift in Java
deployments: 708 million of the 2.5 billion Java-based devices
deployed worldwide are cell phones. Along those lines, Motorola
launched its latest Java-based E895 smartphone, which runs on a
mini Linux platform. The second in a line of Java- and
Linux-based handsets from Motorola, the new gadget includes a
music player, a camera (of course) as well as support for
Bluetooth connectivity to such a wide range of peripherals as
headsets to printers. (Motorola says the phone can make calls
too.)

FOCUS ON RECOVERY

IT professionals are changing the way they back up and recover
data, experts say, with new emphasis on the speedier fetching of
data made possible by advancing technologies. At a recent
storage conference in Orlando, disk-based backup solutions were
touted - find out if attendees agreed and if faster storage
solutions will soon be available. Click here:
