Symmetrix
8000 enterprise storage family
EMC
Corporation introduces the Symmetrix 8000 enterprise
storage family. The three models in the family are
Symmetrix 8830, 8530 and 8230. They feature the Symmetrix
MOSAIC architecture, which is the foundation of the
storage platform.
Symmetrix 8830 stores upto 69.5 TB in a single 17.5
square foot Symmetrix cabinet. It offers enterprise
consolidation with increased cache, connectivity and
processing power. Symmetrix 8530 provides upto 17.4
TB of capacity in a 6 square-foot single bay Symmetrix
cabinet. Symmetrix 8230 offers upto 3.5 TB of capacity
and flexible connectivity options.
The following products can be plugged in with the
Symmetrix 8000 enterprise storage family products.
The EMC Enginuity Operating Environment version 5568
can be added to support 64 GB global cache and upto
8000 Symmetrix addresses. A Symmetrix Global Cache
Directory with CacheStorm technology reduces the contention
for shared cache memory by partitioning the global
cache memory into 16 memory regions, delivering an
'offload engine' that frees incoming channels and
cache, and implementing an optimizing engine.
A 12-port fibre channel director code named 'Spider'
provides open systems connectivity to 96 host connections
in a single Symmetrix unit. Customers needing a large
number of server connections but not a SAN (Storage
Area Network) can use the channel director. A 4-port
fibre channel director is also designed for customers
who use fewer servers but require high availability
and direct attachment to storage systems.
In a mainframe environment, GDPSO (Geographically
Dispersed Parallel SysplexO) support enables customers
to implement IBM's proprietary mainframe clustering
solution using Symmetrix and SRDF (Symmetrix Remote
Data Facility).

PGP
wireless for Windows CE
PGP
security, a division of Network Associates, the creators
of the popular Mcafee's anti-virus introduced PGP
wireless for Microsoft Windows CE. By doing so, the
company has extended its existing PGP wireless product
line that initially used to support only Palm OS-based
devices.
PGP wireless provides security for data in storage
and during synchronization on growing computing platforms.
An encryption-based solution protects the information
stored on the handheld devices allowing only the user
with appropriate rights to access data. According
to the company, the product also furnishes a privacy
solution to exchange data securely between a broad
range of devices like handhelds and mainframes.
The user can decrypt and verify e-mail messages or
files on their handhelds without worrying about tampering.
One can also encrypt, sign, and encrypt and sign any
email message or file.
PGP wireless for Windows CE lets you beam any public
key on your handheld to another PGP wireless for Windows
CE user. Conversely, you can receive a public key
via beaming from another PGP wireless for Windows
CE user.
The user can wipe any file from the handheld. Wiped
files cannot be recovered by any means, thus ensuring
that sensitive data is safe from prying eyes.

Epo
2.0—Epolicy Orchestrator
Having
just an anti-virus protection solution is not enough,
one also needs to manage the solution effectively.
McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator claims to be one of the
first tools for managing anti-virus protection tools.
With the help of this tool administrators can keep
an update on their protection, manage policies and
generate detailed reports as and when required. Not
only that, Virus Scan and Net Shield can be deployed
to all workstations and servers in the organization.
It is easy to deploy as it is a single server model
and all the operations can be handled by using a remote
console from anywhere within the organization. You
need not be connected to the corporate network; an
Internet connection will allow the agent and the server
to communicate. An important feature of the tool is
the ability to identify which network segment is most
frequently infected and generate reports to pinpoint
entry points, as also identify a pattern of propagation.
The centralized policy configuration save administrators
time in deploying corporate anti-virus policies company
wide by nullifying the need to physically visit each
machine. It also eliminates the chance of virus infection
due to inadequate configuration of anti-virus software.
With the help of centralized policy enforcement, monitoring
of the entire network becomes easier. The tool can
manage up to 100,000 nodes thus requiring only one
server to manage the entire enterprise. It also compares
infections and cleanings year on year across all desktops,
servers, GroupWare and gateway machines. Epolicy
configures common policies to all machines in the
organization and unique policies to specific groups
and end-user machines.
