<title><![CDATA[Data Center Automation in a New Light]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=356095]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[In most modern data centers today, application management is a major undertaking. Large enterprises may have hundreds to thousands of servers, hosting thousands of applications. For a subset of applications needing specific uptimes, enterprises may deploy traditional high availability clustering. But these applications generally represent less than 10 percent of the total applications within a data center. While the rest may not have application clustering deployed, end users are still affected if outages occur. For this large application set, most data centers rely on a combination of scripting and monitoring to keep applications available to users. Large companies generally deploy an enterprise monitoring framework to monitor the availability of specific network, server, and application components. This framework provides status and notification to operations staff.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[The Changing Face of Online Fraud]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=356093]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Not that long ago some officials were declaring the war against spam all but won. The Federal Trade Commission as recently as December 2006 published a "State of spam" report, citing research indicating spam had leveled off or even dropped during the previous year. But lately there have been disturbing signs that spam is staging a comeback - and becoming more widespread than ever. In fact, some reports suggest there is twice as much spam circulating today as a year ago. What's worse, researchers attribute this resurgence in unwanted email to so-called "Image spam" that is often tied to fraudulent penny stock schemes.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Advanced Storage for Microsoft Exchange]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=356092]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[As every enterprise knows all too well, the amount of email generated by workers every day is skyrocketing. And yet many enterprises continue to rely on point products to solve their storage management challenges. That's a problem, according to Forrester Research Analyst, who observed recently: "As storage budgets skyrocket, enterprises need to take a more holistic approach to their storage environment by developing a comprehensive storage strategy and shifting their focus to storage processes and management tools - not just technology... Improvements to storage processes and management tools will have the biggest impact on internal customers, as well as on the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the storage organization." ("The Next-Generation Storage Organization," Forrester Research, September 25, 2006).]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Increasing Control in the Storage Environment]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=356091]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[With budgets decreasing and storage requirements increasing, the need for better storage management is apparent. The decision to implement a storage resource management solution, however, isn't one that should be taken lightly. While the rewards can be significant, so too can the up-front effort required to achieve the vision. Storage resource management is more than technology; it's also dependent on how the organization drives the business, manages the information, and uses that information to make better business decisions. Ultimately, the desired result of such a solution is to enable IT to deliver storage services to the business that are measurable, accountable, and tightly integrated with business objectives.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Security 2.0]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=356090]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Security 2.0 is not a new service or application. Rather, it is an integration of software, services, and partnerships that protect the most important asset - information - and interactions. Security 2.0 has evolved in response to a dramatically shifting threat landscape. Previous editions of the Symantec Internet Security Threat Report have documented that attack activity has evolved from being motivated by status for technical prowess to being motivated by financial gain. Many of today's threats are designed to gather information that has financial value to the attacker. This can include personal information that can be used for the purpose of identity theft (the act of stealing the information) or fraud (using the information to commit fraud).]]></description>
