An easy to install, easy to use and highly integratable network hub.
Mounting and Power

,P> The ESP-2 is designed to be used in a variety of ways. It can sit on a table, be mounted on a wall or use DIN rails with the optional mounting kit ($30). Power can from its own AC power transformer or a latching connector.

Summary

The ESP-2 MI serial hub does what it says it will do, quietly and efficiently. If you manage a store, factory, hospital or similar facility, the ESP-2 could make your operations more efficient and save you some equipment costs.

Validated Linux Distributions

Red Hat 6.2 - 8.0, Mandrake 8.2, Turbolinux 7.0 Server, Suse 7.2 and 8.0, Slackware 8.0, Debian 2.2r4, Caldera 3.1.1. See the Equinox web site for more details.

Brian, I've been looking for an inexpensive device which can aggregate commodity (cheap) 56K modems to increase bandwidth for dial-on-demand branch office connection to an HQ LAN/Internet gateway. Does this fit the bill as an "Unintended/Otherwise" use?

Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers

Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
