Protecting Microsoft Internet
Information Services Web Servers With ISA Server 2004
NEW!
Microsoft Internet Security and
Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004 is an application-layer-aware firewall that
peruses communication moving through the firewall. Based on certain analysis
methods that take into consideration safety and validity aspects,
intelligent allow-or-deny decisions are made. The application-layer
filtering mechanisms used not only offer
a high security level for corporate
Web servers, but also let the firewall administrator get a high level of
control over resource-access through the firewall. This white paper
discusses the technologies used in the ISA Server 2004 that allow secure
access to Internet Information Server (IIS) Web servers placed behind
the firewall

10-Gigabit Ethernet Technology
Brief
As the demands of surfers and applications spiral towards unfathomable zeniths,
IEEE Std 802.3ae-2002 10 Gigabit Ethernet is one standard that shows promise in
handling such intense network pressures. 3Com has constantly been furthering the
development of the IEEE 802.3ae 10GbE standard, ever since its inception in
March 1999. This paper describes how 3Com, as a market leader in Gigabit
Ethernet switches, supports the development of contraptions that run
on 10 Gbps transmission rates to
address enterprise customer infrastructure requirements.

Maximizing Performance of a
Gigabit Ethernet NIC Interface
They maybe the talk of the network, but they are the sole providers of
gargantuan stress levels to Sun systems. So to get gigabit Ethernet NIC
interfaces to perform to their maximum potential, one needs to take into account
complicated factors such as auto-negotiation and look at new ways that get the
best out of this interfacing beast. This paper provides information on tools
that will help you glean great results from the interface and also throws in a
section on troubleshooting as well.

Virus Library
A well-maintained virus library is an
important tool to the anti-virus researcher. The creation of such a collection
and its maintenance is not an easy task. This paper describes the major
guidelines and procedures used to maintain the virus collection in the Virus
Test Centre Hamburg.

Is Megahertz enough?
As processors push the limits of speed by
constantly providing higher speeds, the common user finds it increasingly
difficult to make an informed decision on a computer purchase. Thus, he relies
on the clock speed of the processor as a benchmark. This paper evaluates whether
clock speed is a true benchmark, and whether it can be used to determine the
actual speed of the system.
