11 WEIRDEST TECH USES

From the feature well: Sometimes technologies show up where you least
expect them. "When your business is to cure the body of ailments, or to
turn back the clock on a culture's waning heritage, or to keep a herd of
cattle happily milked -- where does all this enterprise technology get
you? In some cases, surprisingly far." Your esophagus is one. The
battlefield is a bit more obvious, but IT-enabled self-service cow
milking most certainly is not. High-tech in the weirdest places. The
news beat: The blackout of Google's Analytics service continues and the
data has not been updated since... ...

HOW TO KILL AN SOA

Best of the blogs: So-called 'candidate services' hold the potential to
become core services, but typically require a bit more analysis before
they do. "Part of the process of building a successful SOA is figuring
out what should be a service, and what should not. A common amateur
mistake is to service enable everything," David Linthicum explains in
Looking for candidate services. "That typically proves unproductive, and
could be an 'SOA killer' at the end of the day." There are no hard and
fast guidelines on what constitutes a well-defined service, but
Linthicum has three suggestions that ought to help.... ...

NAC alternatives hit the mark

Product Test and Buyer's Guide This newsletter is sponsored by PlateSpin New Executive Guide Network World has recently published an executive guide entitled "Virtualization Meets Reality". Find out the 8 key challenges of virtualizing your data center. Download it now! Product Test and Buyer's Guide, 07/31/07 NAC alternatives hit the mark By Mandy Andress Network-access control is a buzzword of epic proportion. And as is the case with much of larger-than-life industry vernacular, products with even the slightest aspect of access control are being pitched by their makers as integral components of the NAC fray. Network World VoIP and Convergence Buyer's Guide Find the right products for your enterprise - fast. Our extensive database of detailed product information will quickly help you pinpoint the hardware or software you need to build out a converged voice and data network. With the side-by-side comparison tool you can evaluate product features and make the best decision for your enterprise. Click here to go to the Buyer's Guide now. In April, we assessed the role that more than 30 NAC products play in the larger NAC schemes defined by Cisco's Network Access Control (CNAC) initiative or the Trusted Network Connect (TNC) working group of the Trusted Computing Group (see "What can NAC do for you now?"). We found that the basic functions of NAC can be carried out within CNAC or TNC, but not all IT shops have the time, inclination, network infrastructure or resources to deploy a full-blown NAC framework. Enter the all-in-one approach to NAC -- single products that provide authentication and authorization, endpoint-security assessment, NAC policy enforcement and overall management. We tested 13 products from Bradford Networks, Check Point Softwaer, Cisco, ConSentry Networks, ForeScout Technologies, InfoExpress, Juniper Networks, Lockdown Networks, McAfee, StillSecure, Symantec, Trend Micro and Vernier Networks.

Trends in mobile messaging

Unified Communications This newsletter is sponsored by Cisco Best Practices for Extending Your Network Architecture Access podcasts, whitepapers and more that offer best practices and principles for extending your architecture across a campus. Learn about the design principles that will transform your campus net and how to tackle the critical areas of integrated security, unified network services and more. Click here to read now! Network World's Unified Communications Newsletter, 07/31/07 Trends in mobile messaging By Michael Osterman We have just completed a major survey of mobile messaging in midsized and large organizations. Here’s some of what we found: * 15% of the corporate workforce in midsized and large organizations in North America uses employer-supplied mobile devices. However, decision-makers anticipate that they’ll see in excess of 40% growth in the number of employees using these devices in 2008 and more than 30% growth in 2009. * In terms of the devices supported by IT, BlackBerry devices clearly dominate, although Windows Mobile device support will be increasing over the next 12 months. Symbian support is also increasing, while Palm support will drop very slightly. Network World Security Buyer's Guide Find the right security products for your enterprise - fast.

Click here to go to the Security Buyer's Guide now. * The integration of presence into mobile devices will increase significantly over the next 12 months: while only 19% of organizations today report that presence integration with mobile devices is a priority or very high priority today, that figure will more than double a year from now. * What devices are users asking for? We asked messaging decision makers “On a scale of 1 to 5, how much demand is there among your mobile users for the following devices, where 1 is ‘no demand at all’ and 5 is ‘users are clamoring for this device’”? We found that BlackBerry devices are being sought significantly more than any other device, although significant proportions of users are also asking for Windows Mobile devices. Interestingly, of the four mobile devices we asked about (BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Palm Treo and Apple iPhone), the iPhone was last on the list. Clearly, mobile messaging will have a major impact on corporate decision-making over the next 24 months, particularly in the context of archiving content, the security of the devices and the data they contain and the use of external services employed to manage mobile devices.   What do you think?

The appeal of managed WAN optimization services

Network Optimization This newsletter is sponsored by Akamai Technologies Improve app performance globally Find out how Nike made the decision to go with a managed Web application service provider to improve performance on one of its key retail applications. After deciding a distributed datacenter was too costly, Nike went with Akamai. Its once sluggish app is now chugging along. Network World's Network Optimization Newsletter, 07/31/07 The appeal of managed WAN optimization services By Ann Bednarz Deciding whether to deploy and manage a new technology in-house using internal IT resources or go with an outsourcer is a common dilemma in the IT world, and the WAN optimization market is no exception. As the WAN optimization market matures, more enterprises are opting to go with a managed service instead of running their own gear, according to Robert Whiteley, a senior analyst at Forrester Research who said he talks frequently with folks “struggling to get applications to deploy and perform well across a global footprint.” Whiteley spoke about the future of managed WAN optimization services in a recent Webcast put on by Ipanema Technologies. Manage Skyrocketing Storage The data on your network is growing at a rapid pace that's only going to increase. Download Network World's latest Executive Guide and get the practical, real-world advice and insider information you need to best manage and meet your storage demands and industry regulations. Click here to download. To set the stage, Whitely talked about how companies are taxing their WANs as they deploy more distributed applications, perform remote backup procedures, and pursue server and data-center consolidation efforts, for example. “What that means is that you’re asked to increase your application footprint while decreasing your infrastructure footprint, all while making it more secure and more able to recover from disasters,” Whiteley said. “It’s quite difficult and puts a big tax on the [WAN].” It takes only a couple of demanding applications to create a fairly low-bandwidth or high latency network, and poorly performing applications can hinder employees’ ability to complete key business processes and effect customer care, Whiteley said. When it comes to solving the problem of bottlenecks in the application environment, Whiteley said that a WAN optimization service can be more cost-effective than deploying in-house technology. For one, a managed service eliminates a lot of upfront configuration pains. To get appropriate application visibility and control across a network takes a lot of setup work if you do it yourself, he said. In addition, a managed service lets a company quickly scale applications, decrease its network integration costs and mitigate ongoing costs associated with optimizing application delivery. As the market for managed WAN optimization services gets off the ground, Whiteley expects they initially will be most appealing to small and midsize businesses, which in the past have been priced out of costly WAN optimization gear. As options mature, more large enterprises will consider the model, he said. Meanwhile, options are increasing. AT&T launched a managed application acceleration service in early June, followed by network and security services provider Virtela Communications, which announced its own suite of managed services for improving application and protocol performance over the WAN about a month ago. In the next newsletter I’ll share Whiteley’s recommendations for selecting the right provider.   What do you think? Post a comment on this newsletter
