The websites of the Atheist Foundation of Australia and the Global Atheist Convention were knocked offline yesterday due to a sustained distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.
TelstraClear said it has invested $NZ10 million ($A7.9 million) in upgrading its Next IP network.
After years of delay, Basslink said today that it had made its first connection over the new fibre-optic cable between Tasmania and the mainland a few days ago.
Cisco has launched 'Unified Computing', a next-generation datacentre effort that encompasses virtualisation, a group of major technology partners and the networking company's first foray into making server hardware.
Intel has developed silicon-based photoelectric detectors that could cut the cost of fibre optic communications to a fraction of their current value.
The coming glut of 100Gbps Ethernet shows that the potential growth of the National Broadband Network is limited only by the laws of physics and the laws of Parliament.
The government dumped its well-intentioned bidders and spent the day awash in adulation from an industry that suddenly felt all its Christmases had come at once. But isn't this the same government that, two weeks ago, was warning it had to ditch key election promises for lack of funding?
Intel demonstrated a working version of USB 3.0 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas last week. Here's what we can look forward to with the new technology.
Well, here we are. After years of bluster, measured progress and loads of annoyance, Australia's broadband users head to the polls on Saturday with a score to settle.
Blade servers were once the saviours of the datacentre. Expandability was king. But do blade servers still make sense today? We find out if they're still worth it.
Firewalls have come a long way since we last looked at them in 2005, and have now become full-blown Unified Threat Management devices. We take a look at the top players.
In the world of processors, attention seems firmly focused on the fast-paced desktop and mobile markets. But that doesn't mean that there's nothing going on in server-land.
The average datacentre lasts between 15 and 20 years, so when the current generation of datacentres near the end of their working life, will their replacements be at all familiar?
Constructing a new head office was a natural step in Bendigo Bank's growth. However, the bank's IT team was forced to do some creative thinking in figuring out how to upgrade and move its 20 terabyte storage area network (SAN) to the new data centre at the bank's new headquarters.
NICTA gave ZDNet.com.au a close look at its 5Gbps wireless chip at CeBIT Australia 2008.
The prototype of a short-range gigabit wireless chip, which promises more than 2Gbps throughput speeds and costs just AU$10, will be unveiled by the end of this year, according to researchers from National ICT Australia (NICTA).
Managing data storage is just as much of a task (or greater) as managing the servers themselves. It makes sense to centralise management in larger organisations wherever possible. Enter the storage area network (SAN).
The Barracuda XT is a 7200rpm 3.5-inch desktop drive featuring 2TB of storage capacity and a fast Serial ATA (SATA) 6Gb/second interface.
Blade servers were once the saviours of the datacentre. Expandability was king. But do blade servers still make sense today? We find out if they're still worth it.
The Fusion-io ioDrive is in a performance field of its own. Home users are much better off RAIDing a few SSDs together; however, for those running servers that need extra throughput now, the Fusion-io represents an expensive, but justifiable saviour.
HighPoint's RocketRAID 2340 is designed for those running a file server on the cheap. While it doesn't haul massive throughput thanks to its lack of hardware grunt, and the lack of Solaris support is lamentable, for the price it does the job admirably.
