2X Application Server

I was testing out this software by 2X that enable you to publish individual application seamlessly without user having to be at office. User are able to access to application via web access and connect back to your office system running your accounting software or your favourite apps. It also able to load balance your terminal server farm based on the connection, memory and cpu usage.

It works like citrix but its cheaper then cixtrix, now it comes with 5 license free and you can try it out for your self. The installation is pretty straight forward and you barely need the manual to get this software run.

Here is the list of the features:-

Migrate Linux email to Mdaemon

I was given a migration project to migrate Debian mail server to Mdaemon mail server. This project include setting up the Mdaemon mail server and migrate email over 600+ mailbox on Debian mail server, at first this project seem to be very straight forward as from the first meeting with the customer they mention is 90% of the user is using outlook express. This sound like all the email will be store on the client rather than in debian mailserver right? By the time we do the installation only we found out they given us the wrong info, where 90% of the user is using webmail…. !@#$#$%#% .

TripWire

This morning, going for a product briefing TripWire by TransNiaga in KL Sentral. Basically this product does is monitoring and audit all the server in the network, it does a really good job that it keep log of everything that have been done and altered by unauthorized ppl. So any problem happen to the system, you have an idea what have been done lately and by who.

Con about the product is time being it only able to do monitoring and not prohibit the unauthorized access to altered the changes. So that’s mean when virus attack, your system still down and you need to have backup unit available as the TripWire only help you determine who let the virus come in.

It does actually based on Linux tripwire and it have been improve that is can be used cross platform.
