An easy Web-based captive Wi-Fi portal is great for users. A Web-based captive portal system that fits on a Linksys box is great for administrators too.

Hi,

I work for a small London based WISP PolkaSpots Limited.

PolkaSpots has just launched a community Wi-Fi offering, which uses wifidog. We're hosting the captive portal solution on our own servers to give people the opportunity to set-up free Wi-Fi Hotspots around the world with minimum investment in hardware.

We need people around the globe to test the service for free. Places are limited to 250 for phase 1 of the trial and we've already had loads of requests.

What you need:

1. Router capable of running the dd-wrt firmware OR openwrt firmware. (Linksys WRT54G or similar)
2. An internet connection
3. Some customers to use it

There are no other requirements, we just want some feedback from you and your customers if possible.

Limited to 250 for obvious reasons so get a move on! We're snowed under with requests so don't be alarmed if we don't respond immediately. You can email pscwtrial@polkaspots.com for more info or to sign up.

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.
