CITADEL'S HERCULES 4.0 KEEPS SYSTEMS SAFE AND IN COMPLIANCE
Despite the complex infrastructures large organizations require,
vulnerabilities inevitably slip through. To protect against those
invaders, Citadel Security Software's Hercules EVM (Enterprise
Vulnerability Management) Suite 4.0 helps patch security holes faster
than bad guys can exploit them.

WANSYNCHA PROTECTS DATABASES AND SERVERS
Real-time data protection is quickly becoming one of the most important
aspects of IT. To help keep datacenters and disaster recovery sites in
synch, some companies are turning to high-availability products designed
to kick in with synchronized replicas should a database or application
server go down.

SPRINT RATIONALIZES ITS INFRASTRUCTURE WITH SOA
As far back as four years ago, Sprint's IT staff was already headed
toward SOA (service-oriented architecture). They just didn't know
it yet.
