  • Resurrect Your Old PC
    Resurrect your old PCs Resurrect your old PC Nostalgic for your old beige boxes? Don’t let them gather dust! Proprietary OSes force users to upgrade hardware much sooner than necessary: Neil Bothwick highlights some great ways to make your pensioned-off PCs earn their keep. ardware performance is constantly improving, and it is only natural to want the best, so we upgrade our H system from time to time and leave the old ones behind, considering them obsolete. But you don’t usually need the latest and greatest, it was only a few years ago that people were running perfectly usable systems on 500MHz CPUs and drooling over the prospect that a 1GHz CPU might actually be available quite soon. I can imagine someone writing a similar article, ten years from now, about what to do with that slow, old 4GHz eight-core system that is now gathering dust. That’s what we aim to do here, show you how you can put that old hardware to good use instead of consigning it to the scrapheap. So what are we talking about when we say older computers? The sort of spec that was popular around the turn of the century. OK, while that may be true, it does make it seem like we are talking about really old hardware. A typical entry-level machine from six or seven years ago would have had something like an 800MHz processor, Pentium 3 or similar, 128MB of RAM and a 20- 30GB hard disk. The test rig used for testing most of the software we will discuss is actually slightly lower spec, it has a 700MHz Celeron processor, because that’s what I found in the pile of computer gear I never throw away in my loft, right next to my faithful old – but non-functioning – Amiga 4000.

  • Design Document
    SPEC OSG Mailserver Subcommittee SPECmail2009 Benchmark Architecture White Paper Revision: v1.0 Date: 22 December 2008 Copyright © 2001-2009 Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation. All Rights Reserved. 1. Introduction 1.1 Overview SPECmail2009 is a software benchmark designed to measure a system's ability to act as an enterprise mail server servicing email requests, based on the Internet standard protocols SMTP and IMAP4. The benchmark concentrates on the workload encountered by corporate mail servers, with an overall user count in the range of 150 to 10,000 (or more) users. It models IMAP business users accessing IMAP servers over fast local area networks (LAN) instead of broadband, WAN or dialup access speeds. Two separate metrics measure e-mail servers with and without secure network connections (SSL). SPECmail2009 has been developed by the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC), a non-profit group of computer vendors, system integrators, universities, research organizations, publishers, and consultants. This paper discusses the benchmark principles and architecture, and the rationale behind the key design decisions. It also outlines the workload used in the benchmark, and the general steps needed to run a benchmark. However those aspects are covered in more detail in other documents. 1.2 Organization of this Paper Chapter 2 discusses the basic goals and non-goals of the benchmark. Chapter 3 introduces the two performance metrics for SPECmail2009 – IMAP sessions per hour - and how it relates to the transaction mix imposed on the system under test.. Chapter 4 explains the benchmark workload - how it was derived, how it translates into configuration parameters for the benchmark tool and size calculations for planning a benchmark, and how it relates to the benchmark metric.

  • Infrastructural Requirements for a Privacy Preserving Internet
    Infrastructural Requirements for a Privacy Preserving Internet Brad Rosen Fall 2003 Professor Feigenbaum Sensitive Information in the Wired World Abstract With much gusto, firms routinely sell “privacy enhancing technology” to enrich the web experience of typical consumers. Standards bodies have thrown in their hats, and even large organizations such as AT&T and IBM have gotten involved. Still, it seems no one has asked the question, “Are we trying to save a sinking ship?” “Are our ultimate goals actually achievable given the current framework?” This paper tries to examine the necessary infrastructure to support the goals of privacy enhancing technologies and the reasoning behind them.

  • Synology Mailplus Security White Paper
    White Paper Secure Your Business Mail Service with Synology MailPlus Based on DSM 6.2 1 Synology White Paper Table of Contents Executive Summary 02 Secure your data with the self-hosted email service 03 Synology MailPlus Software Architecture 04 Incoming Mail Process Supported Mail Client Types Email Security Best Practice for Email Security Configuration Summary About Synology 10 References News Stories, Articles and Reviews Email and Open Source Solutions Information Executive Summary Executive Summary Cloud-based email services have become part of the IT landscape since Hotmail launched in 1996. Hosted email solutions have set the standard for features such as flexibility, consistency of use, integration with productivity tools, security, expandability, and administrative ease. However, the fact remains that for business users, using a hosted service means that all the organization's email data is migrated to the cloud and gets out of your direct control1. Even with robust safeguards, organizations may prefer to host their own email services to maintain complete control over all their confidential data. This white paper shows how your daily email services are protected by the software architecture of Synology MailPlus and explains the corresponding email security features, along with all the benefits associated with a self-hosted email server. Security is multi-leveled, enabling MailPlus Server to combat spam, phishing threats, viruses, and other email-borne threat vectors, while still maintaining high processing performance and allowing for high-level configurability and customization. Synology MailPlus server and client solution offer the advantages of the cloud in terms of expandability, flexibility, integration, and ease-of-use, while still retaining the privacy and security that can only come from hosting your own data and hardware.

Although this dependency is growing day by day, the human right to education and information is not extended to the IT area. Problems that are affecting society as a whole are emerging, creating gaps and distancing people from the main reason and motivation for advancement-opportunity.
