Linux will be the major server operating system by 2009, at the expense of proprietary Unix operating systems from HP, IBM and Sun.
Whether it’s configurations within Microsoft DNS service that can be used to make a server more secure, or additional operating system and network environment configurations, there are small measures you can take to help offer greater security.
Columnist Tim Landgrave details how a new product promises not only an easier interface for storage systems but improved management configurations. The advances will very likely change how you view and manage storage.
Given the chance, Office 2003 could indeed have a positive impact on your business. Is it easy? Well, that depends.
These days, the question is not whether you can use Linux, but where you can best use it. Is there more to Linux than Apache and file and print serving? ZDNet Australia investigates.
If you think two-thirds of your IT is mission-critical, you're either running an incredibly lean and efficient operation or you haven't got a clue how many applications you have and which ones you need to manage.
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has welcomed "improvements" in ISP filtering technologies, but will a broad-scale roll-out make ISPs a thief's favourite target?
Trying to understand the logic behind Microsoft's development decisions is a bit like S&M: it's a painful activity probably best left to others. But a recent example from the storage world does suggest something about Microsoft's "people will beat up on us regardless" dilemma.
You've only got to hang around a datacentre for about 30 seconds before someone starts raving on about virtualisation. While the cost benefits of virtualisation are obvious, the management challenges often get swept under the carpet.
Synchronising data between multiple computers is difficult and dangerous, which is why we get software to do it these days rather than attempting to manage all the file movements ourselves. But making the assumption that the software knows what it's doing can in itself be dangerous.

Cesare Tizi, ZDNet Australia CIO of the Year 2007, says that using a server for multiple tasks on different operating systems not only reduces datacentre clutter, it makes deploying new applications easier -- and also has "green benefits".
When Cesare Tizi -- ZDNet Australia CIO of the Year 2007 -- started work at AGL, the company had eight billing systems and a complex combination of hardware. In this clip, he explains why simplifying an organisation's IT infrastructure is the "Holy Grail".
At Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco, Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz and Dell CEO Michael Dell share the stage to announce that Sun's open-source operating system, Solaris, will be shipping on Dell servers.

Despite a rocky beginning, intrusion detection and prevention systems are an important part of any security arsenal. We road-test six hardware and software-based systems.
Microsoft this week gave customers a look at forthcoming development and management tools that are part of the company's long-term plans for the product.
Intrusion detection appears to have hit the bottom of its hype cycle with a particularly loud thud. Is there value beyond the hot air, and how can you make it work productively?
Just how good are web filtering packages? We put eight of the best head to head in our Australian review.
