In the past few years, iSCSI storage has emerged as a viable contender to more established storage networking technologies such as Fibre Channel. In this webcast, Computerworld's Senior Online Projects Editor Ian Lamont looks at how iSCSI works, why this block-level storage technology is becoming so popular in storage-area networks and network-attached storage, and issues IT professionals should consider when evaluating iSCSI for their storage needs.

This white paper by analyst Jon Oltsik from the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) describes the multitude of benefits associated with providing network access to various users in the distributed enterprise. However, this access comes with a price. The more endpoints and users that access the network, the more dangerous the network neighborhood becomes. Somehow, enterprises must strike a balance between network access and security for internal and external users as soon as possible.
