SIP-Communicator and Twinkle

Thanks for looking at these two clients :-)

As for SIP Communicator: just currently we are working to stabilize it and make
it ready for a version 1, a release candiate (RC1) is in the pipeline. Just
recently we added some better ZRTP GUI stuff and handling, also video is under
testing. Also planned is a demonstration at FOSDEM 2009.

The problem with the firewall may be due to the fact that zfoned reconfigures
the firewall to sniff on the UDP ports (this is why ip_queue is required). Zfoned
add rules to the firewall when it starts and removes them when it terminates. You
may check this by listing your active rules when zfoned is up and running.

I'm really looking forward

I'm really looking forward to an official release of SIP Communicator. A working cross platform alternative to skype with encryption will undoubtedly cut the number of hours I spend troubleshooting nonfunctional sip communications in half:-) When version 1 comes out I'll give it a much more thorough look. It's great that SIP Communicator is closing the gap on one of the few areas that proprietary software still maintains an edge.

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.
