A multitasking Brother
The new Brother multi-function laser printer not only aims to boost productivity in your office, it hopes to serve as an aesthetical enhancement in the process. Sporting a two-toned exterior, the MFC-7820N packs a mean punch with laser printing, laser faxing, laser copying, color scanning, and PC faxing functions all rolled into one. It is also equipped with network management tools which allow administrators to manage the printer from their Web browsers, and even receive e-mail alerts when supplies are running low. It is priced at S$748 (US$454) and comes with a two-year on-site warranty. |

Aimed at both small and large enterprises, McAfee Desktop Firewall 8.5 provides multi-layered protection through inbound and outbound traffic monitoring, policy enforcement and reporting, intrusion prevention and application monitoring. The product also allows IT administrators to specify access policies when users log onto the corporate network remotely, depending on their mode of access. For example, unique control policies can be set for dial-up, broadband and virtual private network connections.
