This week in Network World
From peer to maturity
New peer-to-peer collaboration tools offer ease of use, bandwidth savings, but the jury's still out on scalability, management
and data integrity.
Grid-dy determination
Organizations have spent large sums of money building their computing infrastructures, which primarily consist of computers
that spend a lot of time doing nothing. Harnessing those unused CPU cycles to power compute-intensive applications is the
driving idea behind grid computing.
Sonic Foundry's MediaSite Live
MediaSite Live 2.0b is exceptionally well-designed - it is presenter-friendly and suitable for corporate networks. By virtue
of smart technology in the "capture workstation," the finished content it produces meets (and in some cases exceeds) expectations
of the most demanding Web-based business audiences. For these reasons, the product receives a World Class Award.
