ALL-IN-ONE
 Alcatel
has launched its first integrated
Internet/voice/data services in a single 'e-communication
appliance' for SMEs called Alcatel OmniPCX Office. OmniPCX
Office is a pre-configured server that integrates communication
services like telephony (circuit switched or VoIP), controllable
Internet access, e-mail server, network security services,
and 10/100 LAN switching.
The system according to the company is a modular solution
as it can be built out, as enterprise needs evolve. The system
exists in three different data form factor models. It can
be mounted in a 19" data cabinet, with choice of hardware
and software for which installation and configuration can
be reduced. An enterprise may have a need for only voice solution
for the present but can upgrade to VoIP solution when the
need arises.
Alcatel says that OmniPCX integrates all components needed
like routing capability, certified firewall for enterprise
security, an e-mail server for internal and external communication,
proxy server for Internet usage control, cache server for
performance and cost-optimized access and VPN server for secure
remote access to LAN resources via the Internet.

THE
BLACK HOLE
Fifth
Generation (India) Ltd has introduced a system for encoding
and decoding electronic file for non-suspicious and secure communication.
The products and services range is called the BlackHole range.
It uses cryptography and can convert encrypted e-mail attachments
into images of the users' choice.
The company says that the product uses dual plus key logic
whereby the sender encodes e-mail attachment into an image
of his choice and sends it to the desired recipient. At the
other end, only the desired recipient will be able to decode
the encoded image file to extract the actual file. The encoding
procedure also uses cryptography algorithms to provide additional
security.
There is also provision for decoding the image even if the
recipient has not installed a BlackHoleMail decoding module.
The product also ensures that a third party which has the
same encoding/decoding system installed cannot decode the
intruded encoded image file.
The company offers two shrink wrap versions of the products:
1) BlackHole v2.0 - to camouflage files/folders within a system.
2) BlackHoleMail - to encode/decode e-mail attachments into
images to provide non-suspicious and secure communication
for the Intranet and Internet.
