This is likely to increase moving forward as enterprise implement servers with multiple CPU cores, gigabytes of memory, network interconnects, and additional network bandwidth. As this happens, we will also see more direct VM to VM traffic within each physical server. Read More LightSquared vs. GPS raises big spectrum issues The argument raging over LightSquared's proposed LTE network and possible interference with GPS services is actually two arguments over two sets of frequencies, both of which the startup hopes eventually to use. Read More Shrinking IT staff leaves security projects in the lurch Lately, I've been struggling with trying to get resources for my security projects. As my security program continues to grow and develop, I'm at the stage where I'm rolling out new security technologies, but I'm starting to run into roadblocks when it comes to getting server, network and desktop team support. It's ironic: I got the budget I need to buy security technologies, and I bought the products, but they're not installed yet because we don't have people available to do it.
