ROBOBAK(TM) announced a new version of its software that cuts the time required for full remote backups of Microsoft Exchange databases by up to 90 percent or more. The result makes it possible for storage administrators to once again get a handle on email data protection requirements that have been increasingly spiraling out of control. It also provides them with the assurance that their email databases, containing multiple gigabytes or terabytes of corporate-critical information, can be easily and reliably backed up offsite.
NETGEAR has announced that it has recently secured a QR 270,000 contract to implement a virtual private network (VPN) solution that will link the ‘Zakat Fund’ Headquarters to its 10 branch offices all over Qatar.

NETGEAR’s comprehensive and affordable solution offers wired and wireless connectivity with business class protection for small office and remote/branch office users.
Officescape has announced the deployment of its managed VPN aggregation service that allows enterprises to ensure greater security, reliability and scalability. The service combines managed VPN technologies with broadband and identity management services to produce a truly powerful telesecure(TM) computing model that completes a well-rounded offering of telework solutions. Officescape creates one single, site-to-site VPN connection to the corporate servers. Each remote user then connects, using IPSec or SSL, through a remote access connection to Officescape’s high-availability VPN servers where VPN policy is executed and security levels are verified.
Stonesoft has introduced its StoneGate UTM (Unified Threat Management) solution for remote office locations. The latest offering enhances the company’s solution suite for physical as well as virtual environments. Available as a part of the StoneGate FW-310 firewall appliance, the StoneGate UTM gives protection to corporate networks, providing for a safe flow of information. Remote offices need direct internet connections. As such connections, generally, do not undergo corporate anti-virus checks, they are a security threat. The StoneGate UTM offers protection from inbound and outbound threats. It assures anti-virus and intrusion prevention for web traffic, e-mail and VoIP.
Aruba Networks Inc., a global leader in wireless LANs and secure unified mobility solutions, has been awarded the Wireless Security Product of the Year Award for 2008 by Techworld for its Remote Access Point (RAP) technology.
