The system lets engineers and managers focus their efforts on software development, quality, and productivity, without having to supervise a complex computer facility. A composite material made of graphite epoxy is ideal for use in space because it is stronger than steel yet lighter than aluminum. Unlike metal, it does not expand from exposure to heat or cold, and its reduced weight translates into lower costs and larger payloads.

For example, saving just one pound in a space vehicle means a reduced launch cost of several thousand dollars or added fuel for longer operations. Until now, however, graphite composites have proved difficult to mold to shapes more complex than a simple cylinder.

But research and development by Hughes has opened the way for the fabrication of a variety of new forms, including tubes with integrated end fittings in a one-piece design, support beams, and ring structures up to seven feet in diameter.

See you at the user conference. A comprehensive guide designed to make the mainframe software selection process much easier for you.

By design. There are two basic approaches to this; contention and assignment. In a contention-based system, there is a pool of sessions available on a first come, first served basis. In an assignment system, sessions are dedicated to specific users. The latter is important for printers and terminals that will run production jobs. Some products support both approaches. Your batch jobs will always have the files they need for processing without operator intervention.

Netec International, Inc. How easy will it be to add another controller? Are there lines to run back to the host? Will there be ports available when you get there? These are questions you should ask. A related issue is how much user support the gateway provides.

How much does the system tell you about what is going on? Can you see exactly which logical units are in use? The absence of this kind of data, which is essential for diagnostics and monitoring, can be good reason to avoid an otherwise excellent product.

But be careful. You should ensure that users on one network can establish sessions on a host connected to a gateway on another network. Otherwise you will have to put a gateway in every LAN. Alternate strategies include using a redundant piece of hardware for backup, a second line or a standby dial-up connection. One or more of these is a good investment.

Different factors come into play with each application. Consider the combination of products and combination of keystrokes that will be involved.

But I would like to see an article about the people who are trying their best to get employment, but due to changes in hiring and recruiting, are finding it even more difficult to land a job.

Conventions quickly evolved: You usually addressed people by their first names, for example, and signed off with — well, there seemed to be different ways. It was businesslike. It was polite.

That the Internet equivalent of direct mailers used it in a feeble attempt to achieve an up-close-and-personal dynamic seemed rather pointless if predictable. But it ratchets up the expression one very important notch on the intimacy scale. Warm is how the armchair feels when you sit down where the cat has been sleeping. E-mail from strangers is none of those things.

That seems at this point to be inevitable, and despite the hours it costs me I accept that. Progress usually has some opportunity cost. If we allow meaning to seep from our expressions, sentiments that once had the power to move us become just words. Use of E-mail might continue to evolve, but some things are sacred. Don’t insinuate a close tie to me – especially if you’re sending me spam. A butterfly flaps its wings in China, setting off a chain of events that results in a tornado in New York.

Or something like that. So as the year winds down, what were those little events that will have great fallout later? But if you dream of a true global directory, forget it. That will be good for vendors, not for users. That means that those things will proliferate dramatically.

Soon, most IS organizations will face the same problems Captain Kirk faced when those excruciatingly cute tribbles overran the Starship Enterprise. You think managing a fleet of mobile computers is tough, wait until you have more devices outside the company than inside. Better expect it. Consider the following progression. New brands pop up.

But Peck plans to go beyond mere language translation. Peck said he expects to be profitable next September. It looks like the risk is paying off as Beam- scope begins reaping the benefits of its Web- based order-processing system and redefines itself as a high-tech distributor. But no matter what their size, all of these outlets began pushing Beamscope a few years ago for more accurate order-taking, faster deliveries and fewer products out of stock.

Gross margins, meanwhile, have remained relatively flat and are now in the 9. Datapac lines, it took many seconds for screens to display new data. Graphics were minimal. And each update of the client-side software meant producing and mailing boxloads of floppy disks — a major distribution problem. But then the software team let Jameson and other Beamscope executives in on its plan to move the remote access setup to the Web. This helps maximize access speed and gives the server a broader menu of data and services.

As of this past fall, retailers can track their shipments at the Beamscope Web site, too, thanks to a live data feed from United Parcel Service, Inc. The server handles up to sessions at once.

Response times are usually less than a second, Jameson said. And retailers can view color photos and video clips of most of the 6, products the distributor stocks. These programs track outstanding invoices and credit status so that when the customer places an order, the system does a local lookup. The Ironside system allows a few encryption options: It can be applied to just IDs and passwords; to certain sensitive fields of data; or to the entire message sent back and forth across the Internet.

Beamscope has just started taking orders over the Web, so bottom-line improvements are difficult to estimate. But the benefits go beyond cost savings. Nine regional sales agents can use the Web link while visiting retailers, using laptop computers to dial into the Internet. More will be invited to use it once the home office has finished shaking down a new high-capacity T1 link expected to be completed in October, Jameson said.

Today, people at most agencies have to go to 10 or 15 Web sites to compare products and services, Mazan said. But with eFed, they can go to one place for that information. That depends on your industry. And for those in many manufacturing industries, a wait-and- see approach may make the most sense.

ICE is the ONE event dedicated to providing you the high quality programs you must have to stay at the leading edge of the latest innovations in Internet and Web-based business. Box , Framingham, MA This summer saw the worst of it. Worst of all, some Internet service providers ISP said at the time, DNS problems of this kind happen regularly, and Network Solutions still has no fail-safe mechanism to stop them.

Since ProShop parent company Brainstormers, Inc. ProShop also experienced problems when it first began using Cybercash, Inc. Actual events keep proving how crucial that backup can be, not only in case of failure but also in the event of an unexpected jump in site hits. FedEx Corp. Tuxedo monitors server transactions and provides features such as rollback, which allows the system to restart transactions from where they were at the point of failure.

This provides a challenge to companies such as Schwab that are trying to set up fail-over mechanisms that automatically route client queries to a backup server or connection. In a nonsecure environment, DNS can route client queries for a logical Web address to multiple sites on a round robin basis.

But the round robin utility lacks the intelligence, for example, to route queries around a server that has crashed, said Kevin Delgadillo, product manager for Internet technologies at Cisco Systems, Inc. ProShop, for example, is looking at two ways to ensure rollback procedures with the customer database, Williams said.

In other areas, however, users have at least Troubleshooting ProShop. Three months after the golf equipment retailing site went online, it began going down intermittently on weekends – its busiest time, founder Will Pringle said.

Secondly, the golf equipment site switched its Internet links to another provider: a large, well-known company. So far, there have been no problems. They are just less vulnerable than the small shops. A [Norristown, Pa. The final choice was a dedicated facility at Sungard Recovery Services, Inc. Should the primary site go down, the backup site can take over within an hour, Jones said.

Primary site backup tapes are delivered to the Sungard facility every night, so it could be as much as 24 hours out of date when a disaster hits. Sungard perceives the market as very young but growing rapidly, said Doug Clauson, a spokesman for the disaster recovery unit of SunGard Data Systems. And a spate of vendors are introducing Web site disaster recovery services. GTE Corp. The price of such services depends on how quickly a customer needs to have the backup site take over and how fresh the data needs to be, Solter said.

Indeed, one of the main lures of Web disaster recovery services is that they cost significantly less than a comparable in-house facility. Louis www.

Voorhees, N. There will be a place for physical routers until Layer 3 really takes off. On the downside, routers can slow things down on [backbone] networks. I see routers serving a vital function as a link into intranets. In the past, lack of support for unified messaging has made implementations difficult. San Jose, Calif. That makes them far slower than switches. That is slower on small subnetworks but much faster on campus networks, for example. A simple way to increase a switch’s intelligence is to add a routing module to its chassis or add a routing process to the switch itself.

Mike Rothman, an analyst at Meta Group, Inc. Several analysts said users should wait a few months for network upgrades. Within two to three months, there will be new gigabit-class routers, such as the new one from Extreme Networks, Inc. Edwards University in Austin, Texas. But now that it has moved nearly the entire company to Exchange, it is looking at adding unified messaging.

But there are political as well as technical issues involved. Unified messaging systems straddle both worlds and force those disparate groups to work together. So is Layer 4 the next big thing in networking? Well, no, probably not. The only new feature is the attempt to load-balance applications across several servers based on these TCP and UDP ports.

The 64 K system could support only a maximum 2oM-byte hard drive. Problems also occurred behind the scenes, said Raymond Kane, a retail checker at Brewers in Oakville, Ontario.

Of course, customers themselves have an important vote as well. In fact, VGA is an option on our based machines today.

See you at the user conference. A comprehensive guide designed to make the mainframe software selection process much easier for you. By design. There are two basic approaches to this; contention and assignment. In a contention-based system, there is a pool of sessions available on a first come, first served basis. In an assignment system, sessions are dedicated to specific users.

The latter is important for printers and terminals that will run production jobs. Some products support both approaches.

Your batch jobs will always have the files they need for processing without operator intervention. Netec International, Inc. How easy will it be to add another controller? Are there lines to run back to the host? Will there be ports available when you get there? These are questions you should ask. A related issue is how much user support the gateway provides.

How much does the system tell you about what is going on? Can you see exactly which logical units are in use? The absence of this kind of data, which is essential for diagnostics and monitoring, can be good reason to avoid an otherwise excellent product.

But be careful. You should ensure that users on one network can establish sessions on a host connected to a gateway on another network. Otherwise you will have to put a gateway in every LAN. Alternate strategies include using a redundant piece of hardware for backup, a second line or a standby dial-up connection.

One or more of these is a good investment. Different factors come into play with each application. Consider the combination of products and combination of keystrokes that will be involved.

Oracle got that warning branded on its hide last week, as a 4-cent shortfall in expected earnings per share let loose a howling from a wounded Wall Street.

This maturing market issue turns up as predictably as death, taxes and the need to reboot your PC. Every high-tech high-flyer eventually floats back to Earth. And Mother Wall Street is inevitably disappointed. No wonder Larry is out there stumping for new customers in the name of network computers. The question now is: Will that make Mother happy again? But I would like to see an article about the people who are trying their best to get employment, but due to changes in hiring and recruiting, are finding it even more difficult to land a job.

I have sent to resumes over the Internet, as well as faxed and mailed resumes. I will complete my degree in June, but I am not very optimistic that this will help. Armando Torres Jr. Fresno, Calif.

I know it was a long time ago; deep breath, quick reminiscence. Conventions quickly evolved: You usually addressed people by their first names, for example, and signed off with — well, there seemed to be different ways.

It was businesslike. It was polite. That the Internet equivalent of direct mailers used it in a feeble attempt to achieve an up-close-and-personal dynamic seemed rather pointless if predictable. But it ratchets up the expression one very important notch on the intimacy scale. Warm is how the armchair feels when you sit down where the cat has been sleeping. E-mail from strangers is none of those things. That seems at this point to be inevitable, and despite the hours it costs me I accept that.

Progress usually has some opportunity cost. If we allow meaning to seep from our expressions, sentiments that once had the power to move us become just words. Use of E-mail might continue to evolve, but some things are sacred. Don’t insinuate a close tie to me – especially if you’re sending me spam.

A butterfly flaps its wings in China, setting off a chain of events that results in a tornado in New York. Or something like that. So as the year winds down, what were those little events that will have great fallout later? But if you dream of a true global directory, forget it. That will be good for vendors, not for users. That means that those things will proliferate dramatically.

Soon, most IS organizations will face the same problems Captain Kirk faced when those excruciatingly cute tribbles overran the Starship Enterprise. You think managing a fleet of mobile computers is tough, wait until you have more devices outside the company than inside. Better expect it. Consider the following progression. New brands pop up.

Within a few years, you may be snapping together your own PCs or renting out the facilities of a channel assembler.

It looks like the risk is paying off as Beam- scope begins reaping the benefits of its Web- based order-processing system and redefines itself as a high-tech distributor.

But no matter what their size, all of these outlets began pushing Beamscope a few years ago for more accurate order-taking, faster deliveries and fewer products out of stock. Gross margins, meanwhile, have remained relatively flat and are now in the 9.

Datapac lines, it took many seconds for screens to display new data. Graphics were minimal. And each update of the client-side software meant producing and mailing boxloads of floppy disks — a major distribution problem. But then the software team let Jameson and other Beamscope executives in on its plan to move the remote access setup to the Web. This helps maximize access speed and gives the server a broader menu of data and services. As of this past fall, retailers can track their shipments at the Beamscope Web site, too, thanks to a live data feed from United Parcel Service, Inc.

The server handles up to sessions at once. Response times are usually less than a second, Jameson said. And retailers can view color photos and video clips of most of the 6, products the distributor stocks.

These programs track outstanding invoices and credit status so that when the customer places an order, the system does a local lookup. The Ironside system allows a few encryption options: It can be applied to just IDs and passwords; to certain sensitive fields of data; or to the entire message sent back and forth across the Internet. Beamscope has just started taking orders over the Web, so bottom-line improvements are difficult to estimate. But the benefits go beyond cost savings.

Nine regional sales agents can use the Web link while visiting retailers, using laptop computers to dial into the Internet. More will be invited to use it once the home office has finished shaking down a new high-capacity T1 link expected to be completed in October, Jameson said.

Box , Framingham, MA This summer saw the worst of it. Worst of all, some Internet service providers ISP said at the time, DNS problems of this kind happen regularly, and Network Solutions still has no fail-safe mechanism to stop them. Since ProShop parent company Brainstormers, Inc.

ProShop also experienced problems when it first began using Cybercash, Inc. Actual events keep proving how crucial that backup can be, not only in case of failure but also in the event of an unexpected jump in site hits.

FedEx Corp. Tuxedo monitors server transactions and provides features such as rollback, which allows the system to restart transactions from where they were at the point of failure.

This provides a challenge to companies such as Schwab that are trying to set up fail-over mechanisms that automatically route client queries to a backup server or connection.

In a nonsecure environment, DNS can route client queries for a logical Web address to multiple sites on a round robin basis. But the round robin utility lacks the intelligence, for example, to route queries around a server that has crashed, said Kevin Delgadillo, product manager for Internet technologies at Cisco Systems, Inc.

ProShop, for example, is looking at two ways to ensure rollback procedures with the customer database, Williams said. In other areas, however, users have at least Troubleshooting ProShop.

Sungard perceives the market as very young but growing rapidly, said Doug Clauson, a spokesman for the disaster recovery unit of SunGard Data Systems. And a spate of vendors are introducing Web site disaster recovery services. GTE Corp. The price of such services depends on how quickly a customer needs to have the backup site take over and how fresh the data needs to be, Solter said. Indeed, one of the main lures of Web disaster recovery services is that they cost significantly less than a comparable in-house facility.
