Windows 7 Ultimate

Mit Windows 7 Professional ist das Einrichten eines Privaten Netzwerkes und die gemeinsame Nutzung aller Ihrer Lieblingsvideos, musikstücke und -fotos ein Kinderspiel. Sie können TV-Programme anschauen, stoppen, zurückspulen und aufzeichnen. Sorgen Sie für optimale Unterhaltung mit Windows 7 Ultimate.

Windows 7 vereinfacht alltägliche Aufgaben

Desktop
Mit Windows 7 ist es nun leichter, noch mehr Aufgaben direkt auf dem Desktop anzupacken: Vereinfachte Taskleistenvorschau, größere Symbole, Anheften und kreative Möglichkeiten der persöhnlichen Gestaltung.

Neue Möglichkeiten, mit Ansichten zu jonglieren
Überwältigt von der Anzahl der geöffneten Fenster? Windows 7 bietet drei simple und dennoch powervolle neue Funktionen, die wie folgt bezeichnet werden: Aero Shake, Aero Peek und Snap. Sie unterstützen Benutzer dabei, sofort den Weg auf dem Desktop zu finden.

Spektakuläre neue Hintergrundbilder
Seien wir ehrlich: Wir verbringen die meiste Zeit damit, auf unsere PCs zu starren. Das Erscheinungsbild ist daher sehr wichtig. Darum enthält Windows 7 viele neue Wallpapers, so genannte Wallpapers, hinter denen sich eine Vielzahl von Motiven von beeindruckend bis lustig verbergen. Oder versuchen Sie doch einmal die neue Desktopdiashow aus, in der eine wiederkehrende Reihe von Bildern (Ihrer oder unserer) abgespielt wird. Desktop und eintönig? Das ist vorbei.

Schauen Sie sich die „Superleiste" an
Schon in Windows 95 hat die Taskleiste als Ausgangspunkt zum Starten von Anwendungen und Umschalten zwischen Fenstern gedient. Nicht nur die Arbeitsweisen, auch die Zeiten am PC haben sich geändert. Unter Windows 7 wurde die Taskleiste daher von Grund auf neu aufgebaut, damit Sie noch mehr Funktionen ausführen können. Sie ist attraktiver, kann einfacher angepasst werden und vereinfacht das Multitasking.

Heim-Netz-Gruppe
Dank der Heimnetzgruppen brauchen Sie sich keine Sorgen mehr über die Datei- und Druckerfreigaben in einem Heim-Netzwerk zu machen. Verbinden Sie mindestens zwei Windows 7-PCs, und schon kann mit der Heim-Netzgruppe ganz leicht die automatische Freigabe von Videos, Musik, Bildern und Dokument-Bibliotheken für andere Mitglieder im Haus starten. Und das neue Menü „Freigeben für" erleichtert die schnelle Freigabe einzelner Files.
Machen Sie sich Sorgen um den Datenschutz? Wir auch. Und daher ist die Heim-Netzgruppe kennwortgeschützt, sodass Sie die absolute Kontrolle über den Zugriff haben. Sie entscheiden, welche Files freigegeben werden und welche nicht. Zudem können Sie Ihre Dateien mit Schreibschutz versehen, d. h., der Inhalt kann von anderen Benutzern gelesen, aber nicht geändert werden. Einer Heim-Netzgruppe beizutreten, ist in jeder Version von Windows 7 möglich. Das Gestelten einer Heimnetzgruppe ist jedoch nur in den Editionen Home Premium, Professional und Ultimate möglich.

Sprunglisten
Mit Hilfe der in Windows 7 neu integrierten Sprunglisten gelangen Sie nun direkt zu den Websites, Dokumenten, Bildern oder Songs, die Sie tagtäglich nutzen. Zum Öffnen einer Sprungliste klicken Sie auf der Taskleiste von Windows 7 einfach mit der rechten Maustaste auf eine Anwendung (Sie sind auch im Startmenü zu finden).
Der Content einer Sprungliste hängt vom Programm ab. In der Sprungliste für Internet Explorer 8 werden oft besuchte Websites angezeigt. Windows Media Player 12 enthält häufig gespielte Musikstücke. Fehlt in der Sprungliste ein Favorit? Sie können dort beliebige Dateien „anheften". In Sprunglisten werden nicht nur Verknüpfungen zu Dateien verwaltet. Manchmal bieten sie auch Schnellzugriff auf Befehle für Aufgaben wie das Erstellen neuer E-Mail-Nachrichten oder das Abspielen von Musik oder Videos.

Snap
Snap offeriert eine leichte neue Möglichkeit, die Größe geöffneter Fenster einfach durch Ziehen an die Bildschirmränder zu verändern. Je nach Umrandung, also, oben oder unten, rechts oder links, wird das Fenster verbreitert, oder es füllt den ganzen Bildschirm aus. Und Sie können Fenster auch parallel anordnen. Mit Snap wird das Anordnen, das Lesen und das Vergleichen von Fenstern zum Kinderspiel.

Windows Live Essentials
Was ist Windows Live Essentials? Einfach gesagt, handelt es sich um gratis Software, die einen Windows 7-Computer mit noch mehr hilfreichen Funktionen ausstattet, z. B. für E-Mail, Instant Messaging, Fotobearbeitung und Blogs. Windows Live Windows Live Essentials ist auf der Windows Live-Website verfügbar. Der gratis Download enthält folgende Komponenten: Mail, Messenger,Fotogalerie, Writer, Movie Maker, Symbolleiste und Family Safety.

Windows Search
Mit Windows 7 erreichen Sie noch schneller noch mehr Dinge an noch mehr Orten. Sobald Sie im Suchfeld des Startmenüs mit der Eingabe anfangen, wird eine Liste relevanter Dateien, Bilder, Musiktitel und E-Mails auf ihrem PC angezeigt. Die Such-Ergebnisse sind nun nach Kategorie geortnet und enthalten hervorgehobene Stichwörter und Textausschnitte, um die Suche zu vereinfachen.

Dateien werden mittlerweile nur noch selten an einem Ort gespeicheert. Also ist Windows 7 auch hierauf vorbereitet, externe Festplatten, Netzwerk-Computer und Bibliotheken zu durchsuchen. Zu viele Resultate? Sie können die Suche direkt nach Datum, Dateityp und anderen hilfreichen Kategorien einschränken.

Windows 7 funktioniert Ihren Vorstellungen entsprechend

Leistungsverbesserungen
Niemand wartet gerne. Darum ist Windows 7 nun noch schneller und ständing startbereit, wenn Sie es sind. Zu den wichtigen Leistungsverbesserungen zählen u. a. schnellerer Wechsel in und aus dem Energiesparmodus, verringerter Speicherbedarf und verbesserte Erkennung von USB-Geräten:

Standbymodus
Windows 7 kann in den Energiesparmodus versetzt und wiederhergestellt werden und die Verbindung mit dem Drahtlosnetzwerk wieder leichter herstellen.
Suchen/Finden
Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach Infos sind, dann möchten Sie nicht lange warten, sondern Antworten bekommen. Dank Windows 7 werden Suchergebnisse schneller angezeigt. Auch das Gruppieren und Sortieren von Suchergebnissen geht viel schneller vonstatten.

USB-Geräte
Wenn Sie zum ersten Mal ein tragbares Flashlaufwerk oder ein anderes USB-Gerät mit Ihrem Computer verbinden, stellt Windows 7 es innerhalb weniger Sekunden für Sie bereit. Und wenn Sie es bereits zuvor verwendet haben, dann geht es sogar noch schneller.

Rationaler und geringere Auslastung
Im Gegensatz zu seinen Vorgängern ist Windows 7 darauf ausgelegt, verlangsamende Hintergrunddienste nur dann auszuführen, wenn Sie sie benötigen. Sie benutzen kein Bluetooth-Gerät? Dann bleibt der Bluetooth-Dienst von Windows 7 inaktiv. Windows 7 benötigt auch weniger RAM (Arbeitsspeicher) als Windows Vista: eine weitere versteckte Verbesserung, mit der die Gesamtleistung gesteigert werden kann.

64-Bit-Unterstützung
Wenn Sie sich kürzlich nach einem neuen Computer umgesehen haben, dann ist Ihnen sicherlich aufgefallen, dass es mehr Computer mit 64-Bit-Prozessoren gibt. Und möglicherweise haben Sie sich gefragt, welche Vorteile sie bieten. Vereinfacht ausgedrückt, kann ein 64-Bit-System größere Datenmengen verarbeiten als ein 32-Bit-PC. Da mehr Arbeitsspeicher (4 GB und mehr) verwendet werden kann, kann ein 64-Bit-PC schneller agieren, wenn Sie viele Anwendungen gleichzeitig ausführen.
Welchen sollen Sie kaufen? Wenn Sie beabsichtigen, viele Programme parallel geöffnet zu haben oder häufig zwischen Anwendungen wechseln wollen und auch wenn Sie einfach sicherstellen wollen, dass Ihr PC die derzeit größeren Speicher nutzen kann, dann ist ein 64-Bit-PC die richtige Wahl für Sie. Wenn Sie hingegen höchstens zwei Programme gleichzeitig ausführen oder ältere Hardware und Software verwenden, die von einem 64-Bit-System nicht unterstützt wird, ist ein 32-Bit-System geeignet. Egal, ob Sie sich für ein 32-Bit- oder ein 64-Bit-PC entscheiden, Windows 7 ist bereit.

Stromverwaltung
Sind Sie es leid, dass sich der Akku Ihres Notebooks immer dann den Geist aufgiebt, wenn Sie ihn dringend benötigen? Mit Windows 7 können Sie die Batterie-Laufzeit verlängern. Wie? die Anzahl von unter Windows 7 ausgeführten Hintergrund-Aktivitäten viel kleiner, d. h., der PC-Prozessor ist weniger stark ausgelastet und damit die Strom-Aufnahme geringer.
Darüber hinaus ist die DVD-Wiedergabe energiesparender. Das ist besonder praktisch wenn Sie unterwegs sind, der Bildschirm wird automatisch abgedunkelt, nicht verwendete Ports werden abgeschaltet, und die Anzeige für die Akkulaufzeit ist genauer. Dies verringert die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass Sie plötzlich mit einer leeren Batterie dastehen.

Windows 7 macht neue Dinge möglich

Netzwerk
Mit Windows 7 wird es kinderleicht, auf dem Laptop an jedem beliebigen Ort Netzwerke anzuzeigen und eine Verbindung mit diesen aufzubauen. Drücken Sie einfach nur auf das Netzwerksymbol auf der Taskleiste. Mit „Verfügbare Netzwerke anzeigen" werden alle Optionen für Drahtlos- und verkabelte Netzwerke aufgerufen: WiFi, mobiles Breitband, DFÜ oder Firmen-VPN. Nur noch ein Click, und schon steht die Verbindung.

Windows Media Center
Live-TV anschauen, anhalten und aufnehmen. Musik hören. Mit Ihrer Foto-Sammlung Eindruck schinden. Onlineunterhaltung genießen. Und das vom Bett aus. Da braucht es niemanden zu wundern, dass Media Center von Testern als das Glanzstück von Windows bejubelt wird?
Dank Windows 7 wurde die Anwendung sogar noch ausgebaut: mit neuen, tollen Features (viele auf Ihre Anregung hin) und optische Verbesserungen. Windows Media Center ist in den Versionen Home Premium, Ultimate und Professional von Windows 7 enthalten. Zu den wichtigsten Verbesserungen zählen u. a.:

TV total …
Windows Media Center unterstützt mehr globale TV-Standards und TV-Tuner (z. B. Digital-Fernsehen und HD). Zudem können Sie mit der Anwendung nun mehr oft verwendete Video- und Audioformate abspielen, z. B. 3GP, AAC, AVCHD, DivX, MOV und Xvid.

… schnell startbereit
Haben Sie es satt, sich durch Fernseh-Programme oder eine umfangreiche Musikbibliothek zu quälen? Wechseln Sie blitzschnell zu Sendungen und Titeln mit dem neuen Funktionen für leichteres Blättern.

Atemberaubende neue Diashows
Stellen Sie mit der neuen Diashowerstellung beeindruckende Photocollagen (mit Hintergrund-Musik) zusammen. Die sind perfekt geeignet für jeden Anlass. Und probieren Sie unbedingt den neuen Diashow-Bildschirmschoner aus: Der wird Sie begeistern!

Vereinfachte Medienfreigabe
Sehen Sie sich aufgezeichnete TV-Sendungen, Musikstücke und Videos an, auch wenn diese nicht auf Ihrem PC liegen. Mit der neuen Funktion Heimnetzgruppe stehen Medien auf jedem System unter Windows 7 im gesamten Haus zur Verfügung.

Neue Mini-Anwendungen, größere Vorschau
Beachten Sie die neue Media Center-Mini-Anwendung. Videos im Schnelldurchlauf anschauen. Mehr Titel- und Sendungsdetails. Größere, verbesserte erkennbare Vorschau-Miniaturansichten. Und das sind noch lange nicht alle Neuerungen.

Windows Touch
"Mausen" war gestern: Mit Windows 7 und einem Kontaktbildschirm können Sie leicht nur mit Ihren Fingern die Onlineausgabe der Tageszeitung durchsehen, die Seiten in einem Fotoalbum durchblättern und Dateien und Ordner zufällig anordnen.

Eine limitierte Touchtechnologie ist bereits seit einigen Jahren in Windows verfügbar. Doch unter Windows 7 erobert sie jede Ecke Ihres PCs. Das Startmenü und die Taskleiste verfügen nun grössere, fingerfreundliche Symbole auf. Auch die bekannten Windows 7-Programme unterstützen die Fingereingabe. In Paint können Sie jetzt sogar mit dem Finger zeichnen!
Windows Touch, nur in den Editionen Ultimate, Home Premium und Professional von Windows 7 enthalten, erkennt auch Mehrfingerbewegungen (geeigneten Monitor vorausgesetzt). Sie möchten eine Grafik vergrößern? Bewegen Sie Ihre Finger aufeinander zu. Sie möchten einen Rechtsklick auslösen? Berühren Sie das entsprechende Symbol mit einem Finger, und tippen Sie mit einem anderen Finger auf den Bildschirm.

Features:

Inklusive 32- und 64-Bit-Version
Schneller und leichter zu bedienen
Verbesserte Taskleiste und Vollbild-Vorschaufenster
Sprunglisten für blitzschnellen Zugriff auf die Programme und Files
Übersichtlicher Desktop erleichtert das Hantieren mit Fenstern

VoIP security is more and more essential for both organizations and those providers delivering VoIP products. To date VoIP security has not been an important problem, since IP voice traffic generally stayed on local enterprise networks. But since VoIP usage is becoming more and more more generally used, this has raised worries over the VoIP security situation.

Furthermore, for all kinds of companies, it’s rather demanding for already busy IT staff to ensure that VoIP security strategies keep pace with newly discovered dangers to their VoIP network.

Yet, in their eagerness to merge the organization's voice and data networks and hence trim telephony bills, many companies are failing to correctly consider VoIP's single drawback: security.

VoIP is characterized by a union of the conventionally separate voice and data networks. The VoIP technology is still new and so far the actual attacks have been negligible. But a new sense of exigency is developing with the dangers of wide spread security violation as VoIP technology is gaining market.

By now, just about everybody is concerned about the demand for packet data encryption to protect VoIP traffic. This means controlling the network for dubious activities, as well as preserving the operating system and VoIP programs.

To fight back threats on VoIP security systems it is crucial to first work out a technique of sending VoIP traffic through firewalls and other essential security measures. Until then we are all predisposed to security breaches like denial of service attacks, tapping and  loss of information in general.

Secure your VoIP platform in the sense that the VoIP traffic should be operated by independent servers with controlled access, even considering putting the VoIP systems out of direct access from the Internet. Also the use of VPN-tunneling for the VoIP communication should certainly be considered. Renovate patches often - the security of a VoIP network depends on both the main operating systems and the applications that run on it.

Spamming of all kinds has made its way into our daily lives, and VoIP is beyond doubt no exception. VoIP spamming is even seen as more irritating than email spamming. Along with the continuously increasing popularity of VoIP spamming, spammers have found yet another medium to take advantage of - the VoIP Voicemail - since the technology to apply VoIP spamming regrettably is rather straightforward to grasp.

With a bit of luck and with a decent focus on safety measures, attacks such as VoIP spamming, call redirection and VoIP interception and fake Caller IDs will decrease before VoIP becomes the real communication standard. Without hesitation, VoIP communications can be made more secure and trustworthy than regular PSTN interactions on condition that the right security measures are taken within the organization.

Firewalls

Enterprise companies today employ firewalls that do stateful inspection of sessions between external and internal hosts and devices. Cisco employs a patented ASA algorithm that utilizes source IP address, destination IP address, TCP sequence numbers, port numbers and TCP flags to examine and prevent unauthorized sessions. The firewall is configured with conduit statements to filter traffic by examining source/destination IP addresses, application port and protocol port before making a decision whether to permit or deny a session or specific traffic.

Firewalls are implemented at the company demilitarized zone (DMZ) which is located between the external network and the company internal network. Static routing is typically configured at the DMZ between firewalls and internal/external routers for improved security. This is to have greater control over route propagation than would be available with dynamic routing protocols such as RIP and EIGRP. Internal and DMZ (Public) servers would be configured to use the firewall as their default route to forward Internet traffic. If an internal router were available, servers would use that as their default gateway to forward Internet traffic.

The external router broadcasts a default route to the firewall that is used to forward traffic destined for the Internet. A conduit must be configured at the firewall for each protocol type that should be allowed through your firewall. For instance, if your company manages routers and servers across a firewall, you must configure a conduit for SNMP traffic to allow traps through the firewall. The conduit would specify the source address of the router which is sending SNMP traps, the destination address of the network management station that is receiving SNMP traps, and UDP 161 which is the UDP port number for sending SNMP traffic from managed devices to a network management station.

The firewall examines the end to end session connection and does a lookup of its conduit table to determine if a particular source address, destination address, protocol port or application port is allowed through. The packet is discarded or allowed through on to the company network (inside) or Internet depending upon the conduit statements configured.

TACACS Server

This is a TCP service running on a designated Unix server that authenticates employees attempting to access a router. The routers must be configured to send a request to the TACACS server when someone attempts to logon to a router. The router prompts the user for a username/password pair and sends that to the TACACS server for authentication. TACACS servers are implemented with VPN services as well to authenticate remote users before allowing that session to continue with network authentication to Windows Server, Unix or Mainframe authentication and authorization.

RADIUS Server

This is a UDP service running on a designated network server that authenticates employees attempting to access a router. The routers must be configured to send a request to the RADIUS server when someone attempts to logon to a router. The router prompts the user for a username/password pair and sends that to the RADIUS server for authentication. RADIUS servers are implemented with VPN services as well to authenticate remote users before allowing that session to continue with network authentication to Windows Server, Unix or Mainframe authentication and authorization.

magine it :you come to a country,but you cant make an call ,you cant use MSN,YAHOO,skype...if you are chinese ,make you cant use QQ space, how will your mood be?you will say:shit! crazy!.... but is it useful ? You have no reason to complain.

maybe you have heard that VoIP has been banned in some nations such as the United Arab Emirates and even South Korea for a long time.

It used to be that the major telephone companies owned all of the voice lines and traffic worldwide.After several years several companies introduced functional technology that would allow reliable voice communication across the internet. This type of service is known as VOIP (Voice over IP). Several companies these days offer this service and provide low cost calling around the world. most of people will say like that,the best way for bypass VOIP blocking is to use a virtual private network (VPN).but you are wrong, comparision with VPN,VPS,such kind little device :voiceguard can show its more strong functions and advantage.

Installing the network

Network installation requires a lot of planning. Some measures to consider include the requirements and ensuring things like business growth and technology growth are taken into consideration as this will ensure that the new infrastructure will support the business now as well as in the future and ensure that it is adaptable to any new technology development.

To kick-start the process, below is a list of things that need to be assessed:
1. Usage requirements - (user access (individual/shared computer)) as well as whether remote network access will be required via VPN.

2. User input - different users will have different needs for the system, so try to incorporate them into the network plan, determining any additional costs that will be incurred as well as additional implementation time.

3. Future Planning - the direction of the business for the future (maybe in 3-5 years time), factors that will affect the network needs (e.g. more staff, remote working, software installations) to ensure a cost effective and useful network implementation.

4. Network Management ? A defined network means hiring a network manager. Availability of internal resources to maintain the network will determine if an external IT support company is required. If required then try incorporating remote network administration tools so that most problems are solved quicker remotely, reducing system downtime.

5. Security Issues ? Build security features into the network, including firewalls, password & virus protection as well as data encryption techniques.

Other things to consider include information management including standardized naming conventions for files and folders stored on the server as well as definition of rules for creating new files and folders. Staff training programs can also be developed to ensure that all staff are making full use of the network and its time saving, productivity enhancing features.

Pre-Installation ? Network Checklist
The main things to consider when a new network installation or upgrade is being considered is to Plan, Plan and Plan some more. I can't stress how important the planning aspect is. Planning will help you to answer major questions looking at the number of people using the network (local/on-site/remote), the number of computers connecting to the network, etc.

It will also allow you to determine network hardware requirements, looking at network supports and availability of network points to connect additional devices (e.g. printers). It will then help you determine which type of network topology to use and if the workstations can support this. Another important aspect of planning is security features and contingency such as back-up measures in case of network failure.

Finally, network support services will also need to be considered to ensure that the users of the network have some form of technical support contact and receive training in how to use the services on the network. Planning can also help reduce system downtime and network crashes, to ensure a smooth transition into a networked environment with minimal disruption to the workforce.

Network Administration is different from System Administration. In System Administration all tasks are concerned with one independent computer system. In case of Network Administration once you put your system on a network, it interacts with many other systems. In today’s fast paced world everybody is demanding for modern network which is much superior to the earlier ones. We need improved security and better network management.



Network administration commonly includes activities such as network address assignment, routing protocols and configuration of Authentication and Authorization –directory services. It often includes maintenance of network facilities in individual machines, such as drivers and settings of personal computers. It sometimes also includes maintenance of certain network: gateways, intrusion detection system, etc.


The task of Network Administration is done by Network Administrator. Network Administrator is responsible for network design and security.



Designing:


Designing a network is termed as Network Architecture. Network Architecture can be defined as the design principles, physical configuration, functional organization, procedures, and data structures used for designing and construction of a communication network.


In this fast changing scenario the term Network Architecture also denote classification and differentiation of distributed computing architecture.


To tackle with the collision issue a certain set of rules are also defined which ensures not more than one computer can send across a packet through data cable.


Security:


Sometimes security has more to do with politics and human resources issue than networking. A security administrator is mostly put into abeyance in deciding priority to maintain a reasonable level of security or providing flexibility to users to get their job done. A security administrator has to seek balance between these two opposite wants. Security should be like clothing as clothing are so designed that they are not to tight so that it does not restrict movement and it should not be so loose that it gets revealed to public.


When thinking of securing a corporate network three ways should be kept in mind that someone can get access to the corporate network:


1) Through the Internet.


2) Through dial-in-access.


3) Through Virtual Private Networks.



Network Management System:


Network Management Systems is a combination of both the hardware and software used to monitor and administer a network. Individual network elements are monitored by Element Management Systems.


Network management refers to the activities, methods, procedures, and tools that pertain to the Operation, administration, maintenance, and provisioning of networked systems.


• Operation deals with keeping the network (and the services that the network provides) up and running smoothly. It includes monitoring the network to spot problems as soon as possible, ideally before users are affected.


• Administration deals with keeping track of resources in the network and how they are assigned. It includes all the "housekeeping" that is necessary to keep the network under control.


• Maintenance is concerned with performing repairs and upgrades - for example, when equipment must be replaced, when a router needs a patch for an operating system image, when a new switch is added to a network. Maintenance also involves corrective and preventive measures to make the managed network run "better", such as adjusting device configuration parameters.


• Provisioning is concerned with configuring resources in the network to support a given service. For example, this might include setting up the network so that a new customer can receive voice service.



Changing Dynamics of Network Administration:


Perhaps you prefer to work outside the office, say, on the golf course. When you’re away it would be useful to monitor your servers and network remotely. You’re in luck; there are a bevy of utilities that let you monitor, diagnose, and repair problems and perform administration tasks remotely with a smartphone or handheld device linked to one of your data center servers.


Most offerings let you manage passwords, printer connections, email programs, or database servers with a Blackberry, Palm Tree, or Nokia smartphone linked to a network server, which is linked to the rest of your network. But while Avocent’s Sonic-Admin, Ecutel’s IC2 (Infrastructure Command and Control), MobileControl from ASG, and other solutions probably work well; many administrations have reservations about security.



Security Concerns



The idea of network management applications using a wireless device represents a dream come true for many network administrators, but it will be a while before the concept takes hold. In fact, the potential market for such utilities is huge, but security concerns have reduced it to only a fledgling market, and the utility’s debut has been too small to track, says analyst Gerry Purdy of Mobile Trax.


“Of course, demand for this type of application will eventually grow as smartphones will have more feature sets and can handle the software loads necessary,” Purdy says. “But at the same time, these devices and applications represent security [threats] in the minds of [IT administrators], such as when a person leaves the company and has access to the network with his mobile device or when a mobile device might provide the opportunity for someone to hack your network with a smartphone.”


Acknowledging that appeasing security concerns represents the toughest sell, Robert Touw, a business development manager for Avocent’s mobile solutions group, maintains that IT administrators are increasingly buying into both the idea of remote network management and the security that the utilities can offer. He also says that even some financial firms, for which security is of utmost concern, now use the utility.



Wireless & Remote Freedom



Most of all, IT administrators relish the opportunities wireless and remote network administration offers. “There is quality of life: Suddenly you don’t have to give up dinner to fix something right away,” Touw says. “Now, suddenly you can also do things in 10 minutes that used to take 40 minutes.”


For security, Avocent says SonicAdmin offers 3DES encryption and token transaction authentication so that the server only accepts valid data packets with recognized tokens. Authentication levels, backed by RSA SecurID, include SonicAdmin user account authentication, device authentication, and NT/AD authentication plus optional RSA SecurID integration. Data such as confidential network and personal logon is not stored on mobile devices. Additionally, remote administrative actions are logged on both the SonicAdmin server and managed servers.


Ecutel says its IC2 software offers six security layers. The server, on which it runs, for example, sits behind the data center’s firewall and signals to and from the server, and mobile devices use a minimum of 128-bit encryption. Authentication is based on a Web-based administration client and RSA SecurID. There is also a complete audit trail of IC2 server operation, and IC2 automatically times out after 30 minutes of inactivity.


ASG says users of its MobileControl Administrator’s management interface are required to log in using a PIN and domain credentials. The systems also can take advantage of RSA SecurID, SSL, VPN, and third-party wireless gateway server security solutions. Sensitive information, such as passwords, is never stored on the wireless device, and an automatic timeout feature for each mobile device prevents illegal entry into the network if a wireless device is lost or stolen.


According to Purdy, the application will likely eventually take hold once vendors convince IT administrators that the security risks can be minimized. Purdy says, “It is just a matter of these companies getting the word out that [these utilities] are secure and that they work.”

Web host refers to a computer connected to the internet. Web host can also be termed as ‘web server’. The computer that is playing the role of the web server needs to be more powerful than normal PCs and the function of this web server is to serve up websites. The website content of the user will remain will on this computer, so as the people who are surfing on the internet can get a way to access his/her website.

There can be three main categories in which the web host can be classified based on the economic factor and common features:

Free Hosts:

The users who are not professional but are making website only as a hobby then for them free hosting can be a good option. In free hosting space, bandwidth and other features provided are very limited. With free web hosting one can not only make his/her website successful but is also suitable for personal websites or for temporary usage. Generally free hosting enforces pop-up, text or banner ads. Reliability, best performance and customer support lacks in case of free hosting as well. When a user registers for a free host then the word free host gets added with the user’s domain name that gives an adverse effect in the eye of the visitors.

Shared Hosts:

The next type of the web hosting to be discussed is shared hosting. This hosting service is used by many of the web sites .This type of hosting service is Suitable for personal, small and medium businesses. The features provided by this service vary from very limited space/bandwidth to semi-dedicated servers. The users host their website by this type of hosting service and it has its own top level domain facility. No doubt that shared web hosting is quite better than free hosting but still it does not provide 100% satisfactory services. In case of shared hosting one server is shared by the number of websites so its performance and availability gets affected. More websites usually means less performance. If less number of websites are hosted by one server then it will be more expensive, but in this case there are more chances of reliability. There are many companies allowing customers to host multiple websites with different domains under a single account.

Dedicated Hosts:

The next type of hosting is dedicated hosting. This type of hosting is most reliable hosting. In this type of hosting a full server is dedicated to a single customer. Generally this type of hosting is used by large businesses, professionals and very active websites dealing with thousands of visitors daily. The customers having dedicated hosting can have their total control over the server as well as able to create as many websites as they like. Customers can run their own hosting company on a rented dedicated server.

Collocated Hosts:

Now the other type of hosting service to be discussed is collocated hosting. This service is very much similar to dedicated hosting. The difference between collocated hosting and dedicated hosting is that in collocated hosting the customer owns the server hardware instead of renting it. In this service the server will be placed in provider’s data center. This service is more expensive than dedicated hosting.

5. Reseller Hosts:

In reseller hosting the providers offers web server storage to their customers, and resells the web server storage to them. Generally providers offer resellers a discount price.

Risk


Most people would like to get the best out of an investment. With every kind of investment there is some risk involved and knowing a few risks would help you manage the risks better.


• Inflation risk is your deposit keeping up with inflation. You may invest in a savings account, or certificate of deposit or bonds. When there is inflation in the economy your deposit is worth less than what you imagined it would be.


• Principal risk is a loss in the initial amount you invested. For example you buy stocks worth $5000 and the stock value has fallen and you find no other option but to sell rather than lose further. You sell all the stock at $2500. The principal you lost is $2500. If you retain the stock you may still lose if the stock value falls further.


• Interest Rate risk is the fluctuation of the price of stocks or bonds due to a fluctuation in the rates of interest.


• Market risk is the factors outside the control of companies like changes in the economy, government policy or market trade.


• Credit risk is when you invest in bonds and the company is unable to make interest. They return your entire principal. Then your investment has not yielded returns.



Duration


Duration is as important a factor as risk in evaluating your investment. Duration is the time within which investors can get back their investments. Duration and risk determine the investment returns. Duration can be short term or long term and fixed or managed (by investor).



Returns


The Rate of Return (ROR), Return on investment (ROI) or simple return is the money earned or lost to the amount invested. This is a very popular metric used in financial analysis. It is simple and versatile. If an investment does not have a positive ROI then it is not worth investing in it. If the investment has greater ROI then those investments are a better option. Generally investments that involve greater risks are those which promise a greater ROI.



Liquidity


Any asset that you own, be it property, stock, bonds etc… can be converted into cash. Money in the form of cash is the most liquid asset. In case you cannot convert your bond to cash within the term then your asset is illiquid.



Tussle for returns


• Over the long term property and stocks have out performed all the other assets. Real estate grants and real estate software could help you in real estate investments.


• Treasury bonds and other government related bonds are the safest investment for long term benefits.


• A diversified portfolio is a less risky than a concentrated portfolio in one or a few investments. The margin of profits you make will also be counter balanced.


• If you are not sure opt for managed investments instead of direct investments. You would have to pay costs for the management of your investments.


• A bank account is a safe place for cash in case you do not want to choose a high risk investment. Banking services could cost you and so the choice of services could be the best deal you make.


• Credit unions, mutual funds, money market funds, brokerage cash-management account and other options are also available.


• Invest in the energy sector stocks. Oil, natural gas and related stock have risen enormously over the past few years.


• Hotel and travel is another popular target for investment options.


• Mortgage companies are also in the fray for investing your cash. But make a wise choice as many have acquired a dubious distinction of cheating customers.


• Computer related stocks like software, hardware and internet have seen gainers and losers. Big cap stocks like eBay and google are the best bet.


• Investing in gold, platinum or precious stones are also beneficial as these show signs of increase when the currency falls.



Prudence in some investments is always advisable. Learn how the investment market works and then invest.

As the computer repair center for Oakland, Wayne and Macomb Counties, Concise maintains a client list that resembles the “who’s who” in the Michigan small business community.  They are good, and they are growing out of their digs in Bloomfield Hills.

One of the reasons that Concise is so well respected in their industry is because they take the time to explain and teach at the same time.  Let’s face it, the information highway has its own language today.  Computer techies have always had a vernacular that tended to exclude the rest of the non-techie world.  Making things worse for us non-techies today, is the next layer of computer- speak: abbreviations of all the words that we had no clue about from the beginning.

The staff at Concise will now lead the pc tech support field by offering a series of articles with those definitions of words from the computer tech support world.  This is the first offering in what Concise hopes will be a long series of definitions from the computer tech speaker.

HONEYPOT

Wikipedia defines a HONEYPOT in computer speak, as a trap set to detect, deflect, or in some manner counteract unauthorized attempts to obtain use of information systems.

A HONEYPOT consists of a computer, data, or a network site that appears to be part of a network. But, the Honeypot is actually an isolated and unprotected deadend which appears to a hacker as valuable information.

Simply put, a HONEYPOT is a seductive decoy.  It lures the attacker into a harmless area of your system where it could be isolated, detected, and hopefully discovered by cyber police.

Another use of the Honeypot is to isolate spam.  Spammers abuse vulnerable resources such as open mail relays.  Some system administrators have created honeypot programs that masquerade as these decoy resources to discover spammer activity. There are several capabilities that honeypots provide to the administrators and the existence of such seductive bait systems makes abuse more difficult or risky for the spammer. Honeypots can be a powerful countermeasure to abuse from those who rely on very high volume abuse (e.g., spammers).  These honeypots can reveal the apparent IP address of the abuse and provide bulk spam capture (which enables operators to determine spammer's URLs and response mechanisms).

HONEYNETS

Two or more honeypots on a network form a HONEYNET. Typically, a HONEYNET is used for monitoring a larger and/or more diverse network in which one honeypot may not be sufficient. Honeynets and honeypots are usually implemented as parts of a larger computer trouble shooting system. A HONEYFARM is a centralized collection of honeypots and analysis tools.

The next visit from a Concise Computer Consulting technician should go smoother.  And, when the topic turns to setting up a Honeyfarm for your small business’s computer system, you will immediately understand that you are not about to purchase a bunch of bee hives.

Concise Computer Consulting services the small and medium sized business community as well as residential homeowners.  Concise offers every kind of on site computer service:  laptop repair service, online pc repair, pc tech support and computer trouble shooting. Concise also offers Remote access configuration, Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Web site design, Server Administration, and Preventive maintenance in the metropolitan Detroit area.  In addition, Concise diagnoses, installs, and manages both wired and wireless Local Area Networks, and even resells computers, laptops, and servers for Dell and IBM.

Let's recap the different types of hosting services that are available:



1. Free web hosting - these are normally sponsored through advertising. A no-no if you are serious about hosting your website for business purposes.



2. Shared hosting - shared hosting is the most common type of hosting available today. This is most commonly used if you are running a small website or are just starting out.



3. VPS hosting (Virtual Private Servers) - this is the poor man's dedicated server. With VPS hosting the hosting provider partitions one server into multiple private spaces. You are therefore still sharing a server with other clients, but you get your own private 'slice' of this server. This means that your website performance will not be affected by the other clients sharing the same server since each client has his own virtual private space in which they run. Clients that host on VPS servers therefore has access to the same type of services normally only afforded by dedicated hosting technology



4. Dedicated hosting services are needed by clients with large websites that generate high volumes of traffic. There are also some companies which need huge storage space, and are not willing to share space with smaller companies but with the price of hardware and hard disks coming down in recent years, the more common reason to require a dedicated server these days are more to do with bandwidth usage and performance.



In both these cases, dedicated hosting providers the solution. Instead of sharing space on a shared server or even with a Virtual Private Server, you will lease an entire dedicated machine that is pre-configured for your requirements. Hosting companies that offer dedicated hosting are often larger and more established than companies that only offer shared hosting. Small web hosts often do not have the financial or technical muscle to provide dedicated hosting.



Web hosting companies that make provision for dedicated servers need to make a considerable investment in hardware and software, and because the client has full control over what type of software should be run on these machines, the hosting company also requires more investment in training and skills development of their staff. The hosting company also needs to make provision to stay up to date with the latest developments in hardware and software. The web host therefore needs to upgrade technology regularly to be able to provide state-of-the-art equipment.



Remember that the advantages of dedicated hosting is that the client does not control the hardware and basic software that is required to run the server, nor does the client have to employ any technical resources to maintain the hardware and software - this is completely the responsibility of the dedicated hosting provider.



This is why dedicated hosting costs considerably more than shared hosting or even VPS hosting. The cost can range between $99 to $2500 per month depending on which hosting company you deal with and depending on the client requirements. The cost will also be determined by the type of service contract that will be put in place between the client and the hosting company. Such a contract is commonly called a Service Level Agreement and it spells out the requirements of the client to a low level of detail. These requirements normally cover issues such as bandwidth usage, the required up-time of the server, scheduled maintenance slots and so on. The higher the required level of support from the hosing provider, the more expensive the monthly rental contract will be.



In some cases the client would do some of the management of the server himself (this is called un-managed hosting). In this case the hosting provider will only provide the physical server and infrastructure (e.g. network connectivity, storage space etc). In this case the actual management and monitoring of the servers are the responsibility of the client and this type of dedicated hosting should be on the cheaper side of dedicated hosting costs. It must be remembered then though that the client must make provision for employing technical staff to maintain the servers.

This is a very common question frequently found on forums, blogs and social networking sites across the internet.  The reason is that these companies block access to all but specific countries. Althought there are two real answers but the crux lies in the business model of internet TV and how the viewing rights are sold.  

 Most TV companies, the owners of the content on these sites, rely on advertising and overseas sales for the majority of their income.  For advertisers buying space on a slot on Hulu for instance, the target audience is vital, they want their adverts seen by potential customers.   Of course the manufacturer who supplies goods or services to the US market wants US people to watch them.  They will likely have little interest in their products being seen by European or Asian viewers for instance. 

But probably the biggest reason, because it can result in a direct financial loss - is the way these content rights are sold.   You buy the broadcast rights for a particular location.  This leaves the owner able to sell or market the overseas rights to  their content seperately.  Of course if everyone knew they could just go to a web site and watch the series anyway, then these rights be would worth significantly less.
There are other slight nuances to this situation particularly with regards to public broadcast companies like the BBc who are funded by a fee, but generally this covers the main blocks to accessible content worldwide.

The problem is that this model is doomed to failure, it is simply too difficult to restrict content on a largely unregulated internet.  Even if you could block all the filesharing, P2p and torrent sites that would only be half of the problem.  Technically it is fairly easy to mask your IP address through a proxy or a VPN, which instantly bypass all current geolocating blocks.   Sure you can block individual IP addresses but this can easily become an incredibly time intensive job.   It's not that hard to switch and use another IP address and it will get significantly easier with the advent of IPV6 when addresses will be in abundant supply.

In essence these media companies have to start looking at the internet as a whole, there is no way in my opinion that this market segregation will work in the future.   We are too well connected, a work around or a pirated copy can spread across the electronic world in hours. Creating new and more complicated technical blocks and censorships will become more costly than the revenue it saves.   The market needs a rethink about how it does business in the electronic age.

SONICWALL STEPS UP MOMENTUM IN SSL-VPN SECURE REMOTE ACCESS.: An article from: Computer Security Update

Remote Desktop is designed to allow users to remotely gain access to their Windows XP Professional desktop, applications, data, and network resources from another computer on the network. Users who have been granted permission can remotely connect.

After a connection is established, the local desktop is locked for security reasons, preventing anyone from viewing the tasks that are being performed remotely.

Remote Desktop support is designed to allow a user to have full control over his or her Windows XP Professional desktop from another computer on the network. This is useful when a user is working from home, another office, or another site and requires access to information from his or her primary office computer. While a user is remotely accessing his or her computer, local access by another user is not permitted. An exception to this is an administrator. Administrators are permitted to log on locally while another user is connected remotely, but the remote session is then terminated.

Remote Desktop requires the following:

? A remote computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP Professional and that is connected to a LAN or the Internet. This is the computer to which you want to gain access remotely.

? A client computer with access to the host computer through a LAN, dial-up, or VPN connection that has the Remote Desktop Connection program or the Terminal Services Client installed. A version of the Remote Desktop Connection program is available for most versions of Windows.

? A user account with appropriate permissions. The user must be an administrator or a member of the Remote Users group.
