- Is NFS A Viable Protocol For Converged Networking?
By Stephen Foskett
Last week's "Ethernet Has a Goldilocks Problem" post generated some thought-provoking responses, but one really caught my attention: If we are to suggest that iSCSI is a viable alternative storage protocol for converged networking, where does that leave NFS? After all, storage vendors are increasingly pushing NFS as an alternative to iSCSI for the storage of virtual machine environments. If it's good enough for VMware ESX, doesn't it deserve a place at the adult table when discussing converged networking?

- CA Technologies Steps Up Its Focus on Security
By David Hill
CA Technologies has long had a strong presence in security; its CA ACF2 and CA Top Secret solutions for the mainframe world (z/OS) immediately come to mind. However, the company is making a notably strong push in security with a vision of Content Aware Identity and Access Management (IAM), as well as a focus on securing virtualized environments. Of course, CA Technologies is not unique among its competitors in evolving the security market, but what CA Technologies is really doing is illustrative of the necessary evolution of both the IT management and security markets.

- EMC Hosts A 'Record-Breaking' Event
By Howard Marks
EMC has spent the first couple of weeks of 2011 building what it hoped was excitement for the "Record Breaking Event" here in New York on Tuesday. After receiving a cardboard broken record via FedEx, and innumerable e-mails, I braved the freezing rain to attend the dog and pony show. Some of the announcements indicate that EMC gets that it has to stop promoting the storage priesthood and make its systems more accessible.
