This paper takes an introductory look at the new categories of Group Policy, but anyone moving to Windows Server 2008 technologies would do well to consider the changes and additions to the existing policy categories, too. 

The Lumension Security Device Scanner tool is a system service, scanning the network on predefined intervals to uncover removable devices. 

As USB devices have evolved into useful storage media, they've also turned into a security nightmare for organizations. Read how to embrace this technology to aid in the reduction of operating costs and effectively protect data by enforcing removable device usage policies. 

In this Lumension Security audiocast Paul Henry explains why removable media devices are the top security threat, why insiders pose the greatest risk to your information and 5 key steps to safeguarding vital information from loss or theft. 

Protect your confidential information and comply with regulatory mandates. SafeGuard Enterprise provides multi-layered endpoint data security by combining encryption and data leakage prevention. Try it for yourself with this 30-day trial. 

This paper examines the primary data threats that currently concern chief security officers (CSOs) and IT security management within enterprises, and recommends best-practice techniques to minimize and overcome risks to data security. These best practices have been successfully implemented and deployed in organizations. 

This white paper proposes a spectrum of reference configurations using Sun servers based on Intel processors, the broad range of Sun storage systems and appliances, and the VMware suite of virtualization products to configure cost-effective information systems for these businesses. 

This article discusses running Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) on servers configured with Sun™ Logical Domains (LDoms). Sun LDoms virtualization technology allows the creation of multiple virtual systems on a single physical system, and enables fine-grained assignment of CPU and memory resources to an Oracle RAC workload. 

This white paper provides an overview of recommended servers, storage, software, and services. It can be used to plan, scope, and procure the required components to set up a virtualization infrastructure. 

This document describes the results of work done by VMware in conjunction with Dell to create a scalable server and storage architecture for VMware View environments. 

If you’re an administrator who’s planning to build a high performance, highly available IP network using HP SAN/iQ Software, you should read this document in its entirety. You’ll find important configuration guidelines, best practices, and frequently asked questions that will help you to accelerate a successful deployment. 

This E-guide addresses configuration and change management in a partially virtual environment. Topics include: reporting on and managing virtual servers, the effects of physical changes on servers, how to extend change management processes like ITIL to cover the SAN, and handling human problems between the networking, datacenter, and storage teams.
