                        <description><![CDATA[While the Internet Society (ISOC), a global Internet standards-setting group, has seen a pickup in adoption of IPv6 by some measures, conversion from the IPv4 standard is still relatively slow. The ISOC has scheduled another IPv6 Day for June 6, hoping to build on the momentum for adoption of the new Internet Protocol from IPv6 Day on June 8, 2011. In a three-part series, Network Computing will look at how companies can develop a road map for IPv6 conversion, the technical implications of running IPv6 on an existing IPv4 network, and what compliance and security issues have to be addressed in a transition.]]></description>
	            <blurb><![CDATA[While the Internet Society (ISOC), a global Internet standards-setting group, has seen a pickup in adoption of IPv6 by some measures, conversion from the IPv4 standard is still relatively slow. The ISOC has scheduled another IPv6 Day for June 6, hoping to build on the momentum for adoption of the new Internet Protocol from IPv6 Day on June 8, 2011. In a three-part series, Network Computing will look at how companies can develop a road map for IPv6 conversion, the technical implications of running IPv6 on an existing IPv4 network, and what compliance and security issues have to be addressed in a transition.]]></blurb>

                        <description><![CDATA[Less than four months after its acquisition by Red Hat, <a href="http://www.networkcomputing.com/storage-networking-management/231900407">Gluster</a>, now known as the Red Hat storage unit, is announcing new storage products. The Red Hat Virtual Storage Appliance for Amazon Web Services (AWS), announced this week, is essentially a rebranding of the Gluster product, or what the company refers to as "baselined." This means that it now uses the Red Hat Linux open-source operating system rather than the CentOS operating system it had used previously, and it has also been retested and re-certified. In addition, it now supports a new file system option, the Extensible File System (XFS). ]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[SOS Online Backup is introducing SOS Collaborate Private Cloud, a cloud-based service that gives users the ability to create, share and modify files together, as well as synchronize changes from different users. The purpose of the service is to allow organizations to give their employees the same functionality and ease of use as public cloud collaboration services such as Dropbox, but in a more secure--and less expensive--fashion. By keeping it on the customer's own infrastructure, its IT department can control access and security parameters, the company says. In particular, the service is aimed at organizations subject to regulatory environments, such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA.]]></description>

I think the upsides of the QFabric product set far outweigh the downsides. Give a month's time between visiting Juniper and now, I'd say that all my ballyhoo about being proprietary was a non-issue.

            <title><![CDATA[5 Basic Switch Settings You Must Know]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[There are five configurations a network administrator should apply to a newly provisioned switch or router. Although application of these configurations may seem like common sense, 90% of devices I see are missing at least one of these settings, and about 75% are missing two or more. Use this checklist as an action item to verify your existing devices have these settings, at minimum, and integrate these in to any templates or provisioning documents you use. You'll appreciate the results of the consistency this adds to your network management and monitoring.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Prepare The Mobile Ship For Ludicrous Speed!]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[Thinking back on the 1987 movie "Spaceballs," I picture a comical Dark Helmet standing on the bridge of his ship. In my mind, he holds a smartphone and contemplates the latest buzz on mobile network speeds, fresh from the International Telecommunications Union. As he ponders the 100-Mbps data speeds soon to be delivered by his preferred carrier, he utters the order, "Prepare for ludicrous speed," and the ship <i>IMT-Advanced</i> warps off to hyperspace at an impossibly crazy velocity. Speeds in the mobile data world are about to get quite exciting.]]></description>
