The tech economy prepares for takeoff [November 21, 2003]
There may be no more accurate bellwether for economic conditions than the behavior of the technology industry. When the economy
starts nosing down, vendors get lost in a combination of denial and greed. They think that one clever move can shield them
from the carnage, and that a sagging market automatically creates opportunities by pruning competition. No one escapes a true
recession, and companies that gain ground because competitors fail only prove that their markets are worth going after. They’ll
spend more to protect new territory after the recovery than it cost to conquer it.

Share documents safely [October 03, 2003]
Information security has traditionally been handled at the network perimeter, its focus on defending the edge of the organization

in digital vaults that -- by limiting data access channels and encrypting data on disk and in transit -- provide extraordinary
security.

Job drops, Dell flops [October 03, 2003]
If it could happen to Daniel Geer, the @stake CTO fired last week for releasing a report that criticized Microsoft, it could
happen to me -- what with all my whining about Redmond bugs. But my tough-as-nails editor insists I have nothing to worry
about. "If an army of telemarketers has the right to annoy millions of American citizens," he tells me, "surely you do as
well. Besides, nobody else will work this cheap."

A2i’s xCat pounces on catalogs [September 26, 2003]
Catalogs these days can be broken into three main types: print, online, and CD-ROM. In many organizations, each type of catalog
may be created and maintained by a different department, with lots of duplicated effort and duplicated data. A2i’s xCat 4.0

The hidden cost of hardware [August 08, 2003]
Michael Tague couldn’t believe his luck. As president of Win.Net, a Louisville, Ky.-based ISP, he had purchased several Network
Appliances (NetApp) data storage systems in the past and was pleased with their performance. So, when he found a used but
serviceable NetApp model on eBay for a mere $4,000 — a fraction of its original cost — he was delighted.
