This is the letter from the CEOs
"Our two companies share a vision for the role of video in business and professional communication, believing that anywhere there is voice there should be video. That means offering a life-like, HD-video communication experience that is as seamless and mainstream as a telephone call not just in the board room for a select few, but in any meeting room in the enterprise, as well as at one's office desk or while telecommuting from home.
LifeSize started this journey with many of you more than five years ago. And together we have changed the landscape of workplace collaboration and built relationships with more than 9000 customers around the world.
It's time to go farther. Logitech, the world leader in webcams and a pioneer in the development of PC-based video calling, is a natural fit for LifeSize from a business, innovation and cultural perspective.
With Logitech's backing, LifeSize will be able to scale more effectively to deliver technology solutions to more customers and partners around the world. And by closely collaborating on innovation, we believe that we can accelerate the realization of our vision.
Voice-only communication knows almost no boundaries. We believe Logitech and LifeSize in partnership with other leading technology companies can drive innovation, price/performance and open standards so that the experience of visual communication is just as common and natural.
Together with our partners, we will continue to deliver standards-based, high-quality, flexible video-communication solutions that are scalable, secure and accessible to anyone, anywhere.
We are in the early stages of an important communication revolution and we will continue to set the pace of innovation for our customers and our partners. We look forward to making this journey together with you.
Sincerely,
Craig Malloy,
Founder and CEO of
LifeSize Communications
Gerald P. Quindlen,
President and CEO
of Logitech "

Comunicaciones Unificadas
No aprovechar las Comunicaciones Unificadas es Perder Oportunidades
Las organizaciones que han resuelto incorporar las Comunicaciones Unificadas es su infraestructura tecnológica ya han capitalizado sus beneficios y recogido sus frutos en términos de eficiencia, rentabilidad y productividad.
La agilización en el proceso de gestión de datos se logra con la integración de las fuentes de intercomunicación, como los mensajes de voz, fax, e-mail, video conferencias y servicios de chat internos, está generando beneficios reales en términos de control y reducción de costos, productividad de los usuarios y una simplificación y cobertura en las comunicaciones, que favorece la colaboración a nivel corporativo.
El cambio histórico que están propiciando las Comunicaciones Unificadas aún está en su fase inicial. Su potencial de evolución está generando nuevos desarrollos y aplicaciones que sólo serán aprovechados por quienes han resuelto incorporarse al progreso tecnológico.

Cisco and Tandberg
The landscape of the Unified Communications (UC) industry changed significantly with the announcement of Cisco's planned acquisition of Tandberg. This announcement was far from unexpected. Industry experts and observers anticipated consolidation in our market because visual communication is a key application for business productivity and a core element within UC environments. By acquiring Tandberg, Cisco is reaffirming that visual communication—from the desktop to the fully immersive telepresence suite—has become a mission-critical business tool.

Social Networking
Whether building a global, online community or simply streamlining a basic business process, enterprise customers are seeking to understand and make use of the many tools, platforms and services that make up the runaway locomotive known as social networking. The rationale is simple. By allowing users to cultivate their own network of peers, manage their own online presence and exchange information within self-organized groups, enterprises hope to foster agility, improve productivity, reduce capital expenditures and cut travel costs.
Eager to capitalize on the industry momentum surrounding this combination of corporate collaboration and consumer socialization, vendors within the collaboration and conferencing space have begun to rethink the way enterprise users interact. For example, collaboration and productivity suite providers have made inroads into social networking practices, opening their doors to the user information housed within public social network services (SNC) such as LinkedIn and Facebook. And Web conferencing vendors have coupled their real-time collaboration tools with long-running community features such as user profiles and community polling/discussions.

Security Management Evolution
Only a decade ago, there really was no such thing as security management systems. Some very large organizations built their own tools or took advantage of freeware Syslog collectors, but these were the exceptions to the rule. The majority of companies’ security safeguards were made up of firewalls, IDSs, and desktop antivirus software.
Times have certainly changed. Today, most large organizations have security management technologies deployed for security event collection and correlation, threat management, and compliance controls monitoring. The broader marketplace is likewise now being driven by compliance and a global, institutional threat as well. Does this mean that security management is an established and stable market? Yes and no. This blog concludes:
Security management is constantly challenged by new threats, regulations, and requirements. IT risk is a dynamic mix of new threats, vulnerabilities, and attack vectors where security management must adapt to these changes regularly. In addition, companies of all sizes are also asked to comply with new and more stringent regulations that demand immediate security management support. Finally, enterprises are using security management analytics and log data in new and creative ways all the time. Security management tools must provide the right use model and analytics capability to meet these demands for security and business professionals.
Security management is proceeding through an evolutionary cycle. ESG believes that security management has already developed through two phases. The first was the perimeter phase when security management tools were called upon to collect log events from a small number of perimeter security devices and provide some correlation and analysis capabilities. The second phase meant more log data from more sources for security events, threat management, and compliance reporting. A new evolutionary phase, beginning in 2009, adds new security management requirements to support other types of business processes.
The operational phase demands a quantum leap in scale, analytics, and automation. The third, or business, phase of the evolution takes security management to a new place in the enterprise. Multiple forms of data from many sources must be aggregated, processed, and available for even more sophisticated business, IT, and security analytics. These requirements will change the product and vendor landscape. Only those with the right product scale, design, ease-of-use, and vision will remain

Seguridad en la red
Día tras día invertimos tiempo y plata para asegurar que en nuestra red LAN y nuestra red WAN los usuarios puedan viajar en forma segura. Sin embargo, a veces, no nos percatamos que los intrusos están más al pendiente de nuestras debilidades que nuestras fortalezas. Sans Institute semana a semana publica todas las vulnerabilidades que ocurren con sistemas operativos, con programas, y con la infraestructura misma. Me pregunto, ¿cuánto cuesta nuestra información? ¿Le damos algún valor material? Creo que no lo podemos valorar como debiera.
Hoy por hoy, tenemos la mejor herramienta para proteger de esos intrusos: TIPPINGPOINT. Te ofrezco que entres a la siguiente liga para conocer más del mismo:
http://www.operacionesintegradas.com.mx/tippingpoint.htm
El sistema de la prevención de intrusos de TippingPoint (IPS) entrega protección de gran alcance en la red. El TippingPoint IPS es un dispositivo en línea que se inserta facil y transparente en la red. Mientras que los paquetes pasan con el IPS, se examinan completamente para determinarse si son legítimos o malévolos. Esta forma instantánea de protección es la más eficaces de evitar que los ataques alcancen siempre sus blancos

SIP: SER O NO SER
Seguramente has escuchado que, hoy en día, se puede ahorrar mucha plata en comunicaciones a través utilizar el protocolo SIP ( Session Initiation Protocol). De hecho, puedes implementar desde éste momento éste protocolo en tu Oficina o Compañía. Lo bonito de SIP es que puede estar en tu Sistema Telefónico y en tu sistema de Videoconferencia.
SIP, a diferencia del protocolo H.323, es más fácil de implementar y de utilizar.
