PRTG - Paessler Router Traffic Grapher reached version 6.0.5.450/451. PRTG is a simple monitoring utility that can be used to monitor almost any item that provides SNMP data plus it has a built in traffic sniffer. PRTG is quite similar to MRTG however PRTG is very simple to install and use. PRTG has a GUI and a built in web server which can be used to view reports. Here is a sample report: You can read about all features on the homepage of the product. PRTG is a commercial application, however there is a free version which supports up to three sensors, meaning that you can monitor 3 items. In my opinion PRTG is a very decent tool that can simplify monitoring of various items and events. You can download various versions of PRTG from this page: PRTG Download Page Technorati : MRTG, PRTG, monitor, router, traffic, windows Del.icio.us : MRTG, PRTG, monitor, router, traffic, windows Ice Rocket : MRTG, PRTG, monitor, router, traffic, windows
Miranda has reached version 0.7 Build 3 (it is a test build). Stable version is 0.5.1. You can read about the test build on this page: http://www.miranda-im.org/2006/11/26/miranda-im-v07-build-3/ Miranda is a universal messaging client supporting a variety of protocols including ICQ/AIM/MSN/Jabber/Yahoo/IRC/Gadu-Gadu/Tlen/Netsend. It has a large number of plugins available as well. Plus Miranda is fast and does not waste tons of resources like original ICQ and MSN clients do.

NEC Computers enhances the key features of its solution NEC ExpressClusterTM and launches its new versions Windows® & Linux® X 1.0. NEC ExpressClusterTM significantly increases performance and security for clusters in Windows and Linux environments. ExpressClusterTM has been designed and developed by NEC. This is a high availability clustering solution to guarantee operational reliability and application availability of the business critical systems. Deployed in more than 8000 servers worldwide, this solution has gained about a hundred customers in Europe since its introduction 3 years ago by NEC Computers.NEC ExpressClusterTM secures up and running application and ensures a service continuity as well as an automatic system recovery in the event of a failure or a disaster. Once NEC ExpressClusterTM detects a server downtime or an application failure, it automatically switches all resources such as application processes, services, printing jobs, virtual IP addresses etc. to a standby server, without any service interruptions.Three modes can be deployed to respond to enterprise needs: Shared disk mode (up to 16 nodes in shared array disk mode or SAN environment) Synchronous mirroring mode Asynchronous mirroring mode Supporting Linux and Windows environments, NEC ExpressClusterTM is compatible with all X86 servers provided on the market.The new ExpressClusterTM versions simplify clustering management in Windows and Linux environments and allow Disaster Recovery.A simplified management:Thanks to the new versions launched by NEC Computers (in Linux and Windows environments), the companies use a web-based administration interface. Thus the forming and management of the heterogeneous clusters are getting easier and simplified.The Solution for Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP):ExpressClusterTM solution integrates into its new versions the asynchronous data mirroring mode: the data is backed up on a regular schedule, with no distance limit either via Fibre Chan
Texas Memory Systems, makers of the World's Fastest Storage®, today announced the availability of the first solid state disks with InfiniBand connectivity. The RamSan solid state disk is uniquely able to complement the low latency and high bandwidth of the InfiniBand interface. High performance computing environments can utilize solid state disks to accelerate metadata for large file systems, accelerate scratch space, and store data for bandwidth and I/O intensive applications.RamSan solid state disks can operate in pure InfiniBand and in mixed-InfiniBand and Fibre Channel interconnect environments. InfiniBand enables increased network bandwidth of up to 10 Gigabits per second, provides redundant connectivity support, allows for shared resources, and offers lower CPU utilization. InfiniBand is being increasingly deployed in high performance computing environments, such as supercomputing, data acquisition, video-on-demand and Oracle grid environments."InfiniBand has become prominent in high performance computing environments as a data storage and cluster interconnect as well as gaining popularity in regular enterprise data centers," said Greg Schulz, Founder and Senior Analyst of The StorageIO Group. "The availability of high performance solid state disk with InfiniBand connectivity is an important development that may encourage more enterprises to upgrade their data centers to address I/O performance bottlenecks.""InfiniBand is fast becoming a core technology for many of our customers, including NASA," said Donna Klecka, Director of CSC's High Performance Computing Center of Excellence. "CSC is always looking for cutting edge technology to benefit our customers. ViON's HyperStor solid state disk, which is manufactured for ViON by Texas Memory Systems, is just such a technology. It provides efficient and fast interconnectivity, and enables effective memory extension for more powerful computing.""With the increased adoption of InfiniBand, there is a need to increase
