Virtual-Network Monitor
Goes Portable
Catbird Networks launched Pocket VAgent,
which runs from a USB stick and
lets the PC to which it’s connected monitor
for vulnerabilities, intrusion detection
and prevention, policy compliance, and
unauthorized users on servers running
multiple virtual machines (VMs) based
on VMware. Pocket V-Agent monitors
virtual segments within a host as well as
physical network segments connected to
the host. Pocket V-Agent is the portable
version of the Catbird V-Agent virtual
appliance, which was launched in June
2007. For more information, go to www.catbird.com.
Virtualization
Create, Manage, and
Distribute Digital Workspaces
RingCube Technologies has announced
MojoPac Enterprise Suite, a collection of
three separate products that rely on virtualization
technology to create secure,
virtualized workspaces. The MojoStation
lets IT admins create a MojoPac image
that users download from a secure Web
site. This image is a secure digital workspace
that can be configured to support
corporate security and access policies.
The MojoStation is also isolated and
encrypted from the host computer for
additional security. MojoDrive lets IT
administrators build and load managed
MojoStation environments onto a USB
storage device for distribution to a user’s
PC, and MojoNet is used to distribute a
secure MojoPac image over a corporate
network. According to RingCube, MojoNet
takes advantage of all the peripherals,
connections, and processing ability of
the host PC. To find your Mojo, contact RingCube Technologies at 650-265-
0326, or visit www.mojopac.com.
Exchange/Messaging
PostPath Offers Broad
Mobile Device Support,

The recent release of PostPath Server
3.0, a Microsoft Exchange Server alternative,
includes support for BlackBerry
Enterprise Server (BES) and Microsoft
ActiveSync, the push technologies used
by the majority of mobile devices. In
addition, performance improvements
such as a synchronization cache allow
mobile device support, which the vendor
claims is significantly faster than what
Exchange provides. PostPath Server is
natively compatible with Active Directory
(AD) as well as Exchange Server
2007/2003/2000, which helps users
who are migrating gradually from
Exchange. For more information, contact
