Virtual-Network Monitor
Goes Portable
Catbird Networks launched Pocket VAgent,
which runs from a USB stick and
lets the PC to which it’s connected monitor
for vulnerabilities, intrusion detection
and prevention, policy compliance, and
unauthorized users on servers running
multiple virtual machines (VMs) based
on VMware. Pocket V-Agent monitors
virtual segments within a host as well as
physical network segments connected to
the host. Pocket V-Agent is the portable
version of the Catbird V-Agent virtual
appliance, which was launched in June
2007. For more information, go to www.catbird.com.
Virtualization
Create, Manage, and
Distribute Digital Workspaces
RingCube Technologies has announced
MojoPac Enterprise Suite, a collection of
three separate products that rely on virtualization
technology to create secure,
virtualized workspaces. The MojoStation
lets IT admins create a MojoPac image
that users download from a secure Web
site. This image is a secure digital workspace
that can be configured to support
corporate security and access policies.
The MojoStation is also isolated and
encrypted from the host computer for
additional security. MojoDrive lets IT
administrators build and load managed
MojoStation environments onto a USB
storage device for distribution to a user’s
PC, and MojoNet is used to distribute a
secure MojoPac image over a corporate
network. According to RingCube, MojoNet
takes advantage of all the peripherals,
connections, and processing ability of
the host PC. To find your Mojo, contact RingCube Technologies at 650-265-
0326, or visit www.mojopac.com.

such as a synchronization cache allow
mobile device support, which the vendor
claims is significantly faster than what
Exchange provides. PostPath Server is
natively compatible with Active Directory
(AD) as well as Exchange Server

Product Spotlight
ASP.NET
New Appliance for the
Enterprise
Accelerates ASP.NET
Applications
Strangeloop Networks has
released the Strangeloop AppScaler, an appliance that optimizes Microsoft
ASP.NET and AJAX Web applications in real time without the need for developer
code changes or system administrator infrastructure modifications. The
AppScaler is designed to address performance problems arising from the
deployment of numerous rich, dynamic Web applications within the enterprise.
With an AppScaler appliance deployed in an enterprise data center between
the application servers and the network load balancer, ASP.NET applications
can be scaled out while ensuring high performance. A feature of the appliance,
called Dynamic Choreography, transforms Microsoft-recommended techniques
for optimizing application performance into real-time, adaptive, network-based
optimization-in other words, faster page loads and decreased bandwidth use.
