Compact LCD Projector Line
Sony has unveiled the VPL-EX5 and VPL-EX50 entry-level LCD projectors, designed for use in classrooms and conference rooms. The VPL-EX5 and VPL-EX50 offer 2,000 and 2,500 lumens of brightness, respectively; native XGA resolution; and can project an 80-inch image (viewable area, measured diagonally) from a distance of approximately 7.5 feet. Brightness and panel reliability have been increased by Sony's BrightEra technology, based on an inorganic alignment layer that produces a stronger bonding of molecules, making the panel more resistant to damage from UV rays. MSRP: $1,050 for the VPL-EX5, $1,270 for the VPL-EX50.
Mini-Notebook PC
HP has announced the 2133 Mini-Note PC, a full-function, mini-notebook PC weighing in at slightly more than 2.5 pounds, designed for the education market. The device features an 8.9-inch WXGA display, touchpad, and full QWERTY keyboard. Wireless technologies such as integrated WiFi-Certified WLAN and optional Bluetooth allow users to access the internet as well as communicate via e-mail, IM, chat, voice over IP, and blogging. An optional integrated VGA webcam enables video and still-image capture, to facilitate the addition of photos and video clips to presentations, documents, and e-mail. Starting price: $499.
Policy-Based Configuration Management
Tripwire has introduced the newest version of its flagship product, Tripwire Enterprise 7.1, which ensures IT configuration integrity across an organization's IT infrastructure, and manages internal and external policies, increasing IT productivity and easing IT security and compliance. The product captures configuration settings by creating a "golden policy": Users can create and save a known and trusted IT configuration for easy duplication across other systems, so that IT infrastructure does not have to be evaluated manually. Tripwire Enterprise 7.1 has expanded capabilities to proactively assess institutions' configuration settings against internal and external standards. The product offers out-of-the-box security, compliance, and operational policies, as well as improvements in policy customization and test management. The system's Remediation Advisor functionality provides step-by-step remediation based on a wide variety of external IT resources, reducing the research time and effort needed to remediate problems.
