Storage
Exabyte Corp. 430 M2 Tape Library
New. The latest tape library offering from Exabyte--the 430 M2 (Mammoth-2)--is designed to accommodate multiple tape-drive technologies. Aimed at the departmental and workgroup markets, the 430 holds up to four M2 tape drives and 30 data cartridges, yet takes up only five units of rack space. It delivers up to 1.8 terabytes (4.5 TB compressed) of capacity and 173 GB per hour (432 GB/hour compressed) of data throughput. It's scalable, so you can start with as little as one drive and 10 cartridges and build from there as your storage needs expand. With that growth in mind, the unit is designed to fit into a SAN (storage-area network): It offers Ethernet connectivity, Exabyte Library Monitor software and Fibre Channel interface options, among other features.

Available: Now. Starts at $22,000.

Network   Management
TrueTime TimeVault Network Time Server
New. Accurate time and synchronization are crucial for successful e-commerce transactions, timing of online stock trading and electronic fund transfers, to name just a few applications. TrueTime's TimeVault Network Time Server provides a precise NTP (Network Time Protocol) service for both workstations and servers. The box fits into a 19-inch rack and has a time display on its front panel. TimeVault derives its time from multiple sources, including the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite system, an ACT (Automated Computer Time) server dial-up from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and other NTP servers. The server's varied sources guarantee service even if one source is inoperable. The TimeVault server can be accessed remotely through SNMP or HTML and resides inside your organization's firewall.

Available: Now. $4,395.

Improved. Symantec Corp. Desktop Firewall 2.0 provides security for remote users. It blocks hackers by controlling all Internet connections to and from the remote user's computer.
