Click-through Rate (CTR) module is the foundation block of recommendation system and used for search, content selection, advertising, video streaming etc. CTR is modelled as a classification problem and extensive research is done to improve the CTR models. However, uncertainty method for these…
Brocade this week entered the 100Gbps Ethernet arena with a high-density router and module for service providers and data centers, as well as a management application for converged infrastructures.
Force10 Tuesday will make good on its earlier promise to provide "end-to-end" 40Gbps Ethernet capabilities by unveiling a data center switch and switch module that support the new high-speed standard.
Alcatel-Lucent plans to ship a router module next year that supports the emerging 100Gb per second Ethernet standard at the edge of carrier networks, where services are delivered to subscribers.
HP ProCurve debuts first switches built specifically for data center applications, plus a server module so users can integrate switching and application processing.
This is the abstract for a paper that was scheduled to be presented at Blackhat USA 2007 security conference next month. It was removed without explanation from the conference Web site this week, but promised to circumvent security afforded by trusted platform module chips:
A paper withdrawn without explanation from Black Hat USA 2007 promised demonstrations of how to circumvent computer security that is based on trusted platform module microprocessors that are shipping widely on business-grade laptops and desktops.
Blade server sales may be a small percentage of overall server revenue today, but the market for the compact, module systems is set to take off. So it’s not surprising to see Sun trying to jumpstart its blade business with a handful of blades launched last week.
Cisco this week shipped its Application Control Engine for the Catalyst 6500 Series of LAN switches. The ACE module does server load balancing, application acceleration and application-layer security.
So now we wait for a visit from another engineer who specializes in wiring and who will, so we understand, check the cabling from the demarc to the pole and then to whence it comes - presumably all the way back to the DSL access module. What we wonder about is the maintainability of this technology. If Ethernet were this complex, unreliable and hard to diagnose, local area networking would still be in the dark ages of ProNet and Token Ring.
Foundry Networks closed 2005 with a pair of product enhancements that could have been lost in the holiday news slowdown - one is a module for its high-end Layer 2/3 switch, and the other is network intrusion detection and prevention for its switches.
Everything's coming up virtualized. Tek-Tools Software and Sun are the latest storage vendors to take advantage of IT's rush to virtualize every physical box in their network infrastructure. Tek-Tools announced a virtualization module for its Profiler Suite, while Sun acquired desktop virtualization provider Innotek.
Foundry Networks this week introduced a whole bunch of fiber: an all-fiber-optic version of the FastIron Edge X series of switches, a 24-port fiber-optic module for its FastIron SuperX chassis-based switch, and a 24-port module for its BigIron RX series of chassis-based switches.
PlateSpin recently rolled out a software module for its application virtualization product that automatically analyzes server resources and application workloads and recommends the optimal fit for those virtualized servers.
Proofpoint will announce on Tuesday an upgrade to its e-mail security platform that includes a new anti-virus module and enhancements to its anti-spam filtering techniques.
The Association of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria (ATCON), an umbrella body of about 161 telecommunications firms registered and operating in the country, has called for an accreditation process for Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) packs nationwide.
The kernel puts limits on which functions can be used
from a loadable module. But instead of an all-or-none
approach, one plan would create access control lists
of which modules are allowed to use which functions.
E-mail security vendor Proofpoint is upgrading the core of its gateway software and appliance with additional spam and directory harvest-attack prevention, and is adding a module to help catch viruses during the first few hours of an outbreak.
Not a lot of new patches over the weekend, but CA and Asterisk users should be wary of two highly rated flaws with patches available. For CA, the company's Secure Content Manager could be exploited to run malicious code. For Asterisk, an exploited flaw in an Addon module could result in a denial of service. And, don't forget, tomorrow is Microsoft's Patch Tuesday June release.
Nortel's 2006 Ethernet switch roadmap centers on security and resiliency. The vendor will introduce the ability to run firewall and IDS filtering on every port of its flagship ERS 8600 (when outfitted with a Service Delivery Module). Also on tap is an upgrade to Nortel's Split Multi-Link Trunking, a proprietary fast-failover technology for connecting backbone switches. Here, Sanjeev Gupta, director of Nortel's Ethernet switching business, dives into some of the details behind these technologies with Networ
NetIQ, an Attachmate business, Tuesday announced the availability of a VoIP lifecycle management module for Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007. The NetIQ AppManager for Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) is designed to better manage server performance, determine performance thresholds and demonstrate service delivery, and track application performance with session activity and failure metrics for aggregated reporting, according to the company's announcement.
