The New Face of Intrusion Prevention: Check Point IPS Software Blade Gives Breakthrough Performance and Protection at a Breakthrough Price | 2009-06-29 | Check Point Software Technologies |
| Off late organizations had two choices when considering Intrusion Prevention (IPS): an expensive, dedicated IPS system, or an integrated system that lacked robust performance and security. Additionally, most IPS system were not used to their full potential. Deployed offline, they were used more as intrusion detection systems, only logging attacks without providing proactive protection. This approach not only fails to provide protection for a network, but diminishes both the value and Return On Investment (ROI) of an IPS. Given that IPS has become a fundamental component of 'Due Care' in IT security, the next generation of IPS needs to provide organizations with a superior and cost effective option.

The Vector Approach to Data Center Power Planning | 2009-06-28 | Eaton |
| Many data centers, including most of those built before 2001, are at risk of outstripping their capacity to power and cool their IT systems. Already, data centers consume 10-30 times more energy per square foot than the typical office buildingÂa figure that has doubled in the last five years. Energy costs represent the single largest component of operating expense, and a potential barrier to future expansion. Does IT really have a handle on this trend?
More regularly and frequently, organizations are hitting fixed limits in their power systemsÂeven systems that were designed and deployed fairly recently. With the volatile rate of change in IT technologies, power demands can quickly exceed established barriers in a legacy distribution system, such as the performance potential of existing amperage/voltage ratings, UPSs, cabling and connectors. The cost of upgrading, augmenting or replacing the power architecture can be astronomical. The costs often could have been minimized or avoided if the power planning process had simply been more forward-looking and holistic in the first place. This white paper describes an approach that considers the major milestones and thresholds in data center power requirementsÂand how planners should adjust their strategies and recommendations for data centers as they pass through different evolutionary stages.
