Hewlett-Packard&#160;introduced on Wednesday a security technology that ensures printed documents get to the right people and protects against malware.HP&#39;s Secure Print Advantage is a set of hardware and software components that encrypts documents sent to a printer and completes the print job after a user is verified through authentication. It is a part of the HP Secure Advantage program, which encompasses HP&#39;s security assets, know-how, and technologies.&quot;[Secure Print Advantage] allows customers to look at print and imaging infrastructure and be able to set and ensure a security policy,&quot; said Gary Lefkowitz, director of marketing and operations at HP. The technology encrypts print documents and authenticates users to prevent document theft. It also scans print jobs to prevent network intrusion and spread of malware, he said.After a print document is encrypted at a desktop, it sits on a secure document server until it is decrypted and printed by a workgroup printer after user authentication. Printers can be across the hall or in different countries, Lefkowitz said.The system is built using a mix of industry standards, Lefkowitz said. It supports different authentication techniques including smartcards, biometrics or LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), depending on what a customer requests, Lefkowitz said. Encryption techniques supported by the system include AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), RSA and CCE (Common Criteria EAL 4+). It supports any TCP/IP printer.Printers have been used in the past to spread malware. In 2006, HP pulled a printer driver from its Web site after security vendor BitDefender reported the software was infected with malware. Secure Print Advantage scans every print job for malware, Lefkowitz said.It will be available worldwide in February. Pricing has not yet been determined, Lefkowitz said.

(InfoWorld) - Hewlett-Packard's HP Labs research center has developed a new approach to cooling datacenters by adjusting air conditioning systems to changing server loads more precisely than what's available now. HP says its Dynamic Smart Cooling (DSC) technology, which the company claims can deliver 20 percent to 45 percent savings in cooling energy costs, depending on the size of the datacenter, will be available in mid-2007. DSC involves placing several heat sensors on racks of servers throughout the datacenter, which send information on changes in temperature to a central monitoring system. As the sensors detect an increase in a server's temperature, a signal is sent to the nearest of several air conditioning units to throttle up to cool that server. When the server cools down because it's not doing as much computing, the air conditioner throttles down. HP, which firstÂ introduced the concept of Dynamic Smart CoolingÂ in 2003, revealed a number of additional program details Tuesday. It announced creation of a Data Center Solution Builder program with design partners that will work with HP to implement a DSC solution, which can be retrofitted into an existing datacenter. HP has already started trials of the technology is going to implement DSC in new datacenters for its own operations at six U.S. locations. Also, Pacific Gas & Electric, the power utility serving Northern California, will make rebates available to datacenters that deploy DSC, said Mark Bramfitt, of PG&E. DSC is a way of addressing an energy consumption problem datacenters didn't have just five years ago, said Chandrakant Patel, an HP Fellow and one of the system designers. "Five years ago, no one got fired for wasting energy but they did get fired if the server went down," Patel said. But today, energy consumption is an issue and Dynamic Smart Cooling technology addresses datacenter management concerns about the operating expense of powering and cooling, said Paul Perez, vice president of HP's Technology Solutions Group. At a demonstration of the technology for media Tuesday at HP Labs in Palo Alto, California, journalists could see that the datacenter in a nearby room was using 117 kilowatts of electricity to stay cool. But when the DSC system kicked in, consumption dropped to 72 kilowatts. Power consumption is, on average, 40 percent of the operating expense of running a datacenter, Perez said, citing industry research. And 60 percent to 70 percent of that energy expense goes to cooling the servers, he said. Other technology companies areÂ working on ways to keep datacenters cool, said Jonathan Eunice, founder and principal advisor at Illuminata, an IT research firm. Chip makers like Intel and Advanced Micro Devices are developingÂ processors that run coolerÂ than they have in the past, Eunice said. HP's chief competitor, IBM, is trying toÂ address thermal issuesÂ on a system level. "IBM does have its services arm with the ability to send out heating experts to map the datacenter hot spots and advise about efficiencies," said Eunice. IBM also offers a product called Power Executive that measures and modulates power consumption on a wide basis.
