Product Spotlight: Maxtor Central Axis Business Edition NAS
agentok Senior Editor of getforum.org Whitepapers.





Specifications:

Storage: 2 Terabytes

Drive speed: 7200 RPM

Cache Buffer:32MB

Connection: 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet
Supported operating system: Windows XP/Vista, Mac OS X 10.4.11 or better.

Who’s it for?

The Maxtor Business Edition Central Axis backup solution is perfect for any small to medium sized business needing automated backup of PCs or Macs into one centralized location.

What problem does it solve?

The Central Axis solution solves the often complicated problem of automating the process of backing up important data to a centralized location. The Central Axis takes this process one step further and automates the process of data mirroring within the device so your data is secure.

Standout features:

Automated data mirroring

Off-site data rotation

Simple administration via Maxtor Manger or Web

Printer sharing (with any USB printer connected to the device)

Secure file sharing

Easy at-a-glance information about your data

Configurable levels of password protection

What’s wrong?

The biggest issue with the Central Axis is that, up front, it claims to be a Network Attached Storage device. This is not as true as the claim would make it seem. If you are looking for a true NAS device, you will find yourself disappointed in the Axis.

The only machines that can see the device are the machines with the proprietary software installed. And even those machines cannot easily add files to the Axis without having to map the machine to the device. This is odd considering the Axis is using Samba to communicate with the machines. With Samba, any machine should be able to connect. So all of those Linux or UNIX servers you have will have no luck backing up to the Central Axis.

Another issue with the device is the set up of the web access is very non-intuitive.

Bottom line for business

If you are looking for an outstanding, automated backup solution, but aren’t concerned so much with user-friendly data storage, the Maxtor Central Axis Business Edition is perfect for you. With large amounts of storage space, and easy automated backup configurations, this solution is perfect for any small to medium sized business.

Price: $149 for 4GB model

Who is it for

The Ironkey encrypted flash drive is designed for any one or any enterprise looking to secure data with military approved 128-bit encryption. The Ironkey system is especially effective for enterprises with mobile workforces because the flash drives can be managed by network administrators via the corporate network and the Internet.

What problem does it solve

Hardware-based encryption increases the overall level of data security substantially, especially for a mobile workforce exposed to potential security breaches from stolen laptops and lost external storage drives like USB thumb drives. Using Ironkey drives to store sensitive data will ensure that information is never revealed to thieves or other nefarious individuals because it will self-destruct the stored data after 10 failed attempts to enter the proper password.

Features

Hardware encryption: Software encryption is very difficult to bypass, but it can be done with brute force methods in many cases. Hardware encryption offers yet another level of security. And with the additional self-destruct feature of the Ironkey, users can be assured that data is not going to pass to your typical thief.

Self destruct: If a user fails to properly enter the authentication password 10 times, the Ironkey will write over the data on the drive. This is an internal hardware event that cannot be stopped via software. However, if the data has been backed up using the Ironkey application, the data and key can be recovered once a correct password is entered.

Administrative management: For enterprises, the deployment of Ironkeys can be managed by a centralized administrator. That administrator can issue keys, log activity, and even shut down and/recover lost or stolen drives.

Identity manager: Passwords and other login information can be stored and backed up by the Ironkey. Authentication of frequented sites that require it can be automated securely by your Ironkey.

Secure Web surfing: Users can surf the Web through a secure, encrypted IP address, further protecting sensitive information that may be submitted via forms or other Web-based applications.

What’s wrong

Small storage sizes: The most storage available on an Ironkey as of this review is 8GB. While 8GB may be enough for many applications, it may not be enough for some large files like databases.

User error: No matter how good the security system and the encryption, it is still subject to social engineering. Using the Ironkey requires a password and users are prone to revealing those passwords to people they shouldn’t.

Bottom line for business

Keeping data safe is paramount for most enterprises regardless of their size. If the data to be kept safe is relatively small and distributed among many employees, especially employees engaged in activities outside the corporate campus, the Ironkey encrypted flash drive system is one excellent security solution. With administrative support systems and self-destruct features, enterprises can use the Ironkey systems to take steps to verify their data is safe and secure.

Product Spotlight: Computrace LoJack for Laptops
agentok Senior Editor of getforum.org Whitepapers.





Specifications:

Manufacturer: Absolute Software Corp.

Product: Computrace LoJack for Laptops

Version: LoJack for Laptops Standard Edition

Requirements: (PC) Windows Vista or Windows XP (32-bit version only); (Macintosh) Mac OS X version 10.3 or higher, Macintosh with PowerPC G3/G4/G5 processor or Intel Core Duo CPU, Internet connection and Safari or Firefox Web browser

Operating systems: Microsoft Windows XP Home / Professional (32-bit version only) / Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic / Vista Home Premium / Vista Business / Vista Ultimate / Apple Macintosh OS X version 10.3 or higher

Subscription: One year

Price: $39.99 Standard Edition ($59.99 for Premium Edition)

Who’s it for?

Any business, organization or user owning most any contemporary Windows or Macintosh computer can deploy Computrace LoJack for Laptops software to protect data and improve stolen system recovery rates. Computers are stolen at an alarming rate. In fact, laptops disappear more quickly than once a minute at airports. Deploying LoJack for Laptops provides laptop owners with critical options for protecting sensitive data and recovering stolen computers.

What problem does it solve?

When laptop computers are stolen, most users have no recourse other than to report the theft to law enforcement. Recovering stolen computers proves very difficult for authorities. A study conducted by Ponemon Institute and Dell Computer revealed that, of 12,000 laptops lost in airports each week, only 30 percent are ever recovered.

When a computer with LoJack for Laptops is connected to the Internet, however, the software silently and securely contacts the Computrace monitoring center. By contacting Computrace when a computer is stolen, the company’s theft recovery team (staffed by former police officers and security professionals) works with local police departments and ISPs to locate and recover stolen systems.

LoJack for Laptops Premium Edition includes the Data Delete option, in which sensitive, proprietary and other information can be erased and overwritten. Using the Data Delete feature, information (including personal data stored in cookies, documents and other files) typically used to perpetrate identity theft can be remotely deleted, as can be corporate information, customer lists and correspondence (including e-mail).

The Premium Edition also includes a $1,000 Service Guarantee. For an additional $20, Computrace LoJack for Laptops Premium Edition guarantees properly equipped systems are recovered or victims may be eligible to receive up to $1,000 (which could be used to offset the purchase of a replacement computer).

Standout features:

Assisted recovery - Studies show only a minority of lost laptops are recovered. The recovery rate for LoJack for Laptops systems, however, is 75 percent. The company recovers an average of 50 computers each week. The above-average recovery rate is certainly assisted by Absolute Software’s recruitment of former police officers and security professionals and the use of a licensed private investigation agency to coordinate recovery efforts.

Firmware-based on many models - Computrace BIOS support modules are included on many manufacturers’ laptop computers, including many models from Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, Gateway, HP, Lenovo and Toshiba. When the firmware-based module is activated, the recovery software survives OS reinstallation and even hard disk reformatting and replacement. A more complete list of BIOS-equipped models is available on the Absolute Web site.

Stealth operation - Once installed, users notice no difference in installed software, system performance or Internet or network bandwidth.

Volume discounts - Absolute Software provides discounted pricing when purchasing multiple-year subscriptions. Absolute Software also provides corporate pricing packages and technical assistance when deploying the Computrace agent in enterprise environments.

What’s wrong?

Overseas use requires Computrace product - The LoJack for Laptops recovery team is most entrenched within North America. While the Computrace agent technology works in systems outside the United States (and is supported by a separate Absolute Software recovery team there), the LoJack for Laptops brand has not yet been released overseas, although the launch is imminent.

Internet connectivity required - LoJack for Laptops requires that a stolen laptop be connected to the Internet to leverage its recovery technologies, which include IP address tracking. Considering that it’s estimated that 90 percent of stolen laptops go online within weeks of being stolen, though, means this may not be as big an issue as some (including those clamoring for a strictly hardware-based GPS solution) believe.

Bottom line for business

Hundreds of thousands of laptops are stolen each year. Organizations spend millions of dollars replacing systems and managing fallout from leaked private data and proprietary information. Using Computrace’s simple agent and proven recovery team helps ensure any organization or user losing a laptop can remotely delete sensitive information (when opting for the Premium Edition) and exponentially improve North American recovery rates.
