OpenNMS bests OpenView and Tivoli while Ipswitch spreads the FUD
,----[ Quote ]
| Chalk up another victory for OSS over proprietary. OpenNMS beat
| out both OpenView and Tivoli in the SearchNetworking Product
| Leadership Awards. I wonder if that will shut up this ridiculous
| FUD from Ipswitch "Don't trust your network to open source."

| "After a long and arduous journey that included a suspended validation last
| year .. OpenSSL has regained its FIPS 140-2 validation"
|
| "We called it the FUD campaign," he says. "There were all kinds of
| complaints sent to the CMVP including one about 'Commie code.' .. Silly or
| no, each complaint that's filed really slows down the process."
|
| "the ones they did see often contained redacted, or blacked-out, data about
| who had filed the complaint .. in some cases, proprietary software vendors
| were lodging the complaints.

Too late to discredit open source, advocates say

| interview with Computerworld Philippines. "Open source

| Anson Uy, president of Touch Solutions (a Red Hat Linux company),
| earlier on broke the news to Computerworld Philippines about the
| alleged "funded missions" by some software firms to discredit open
| source, although he did not identify any company.
|
| Anson revealed among the top three actions against FOSS are being

Will an open source router replace your Cisco router?
,----[ Quote ]
| By using VMware, I was able to get this new router up in less than 30
| minutes--as promised by the evaluation guide. In fact, half of that time
| came from downloading the file. In addition, I ended up reading some of the
| guide to learn the default login and the basics of the user interface.
|
| In my opinion, Vyatta shows a lot of promise. While I'm not recommending
| throwing out Cisco routers in favor of Vyatta just yet, spending 30 minutes
| to familiarize yourself with what it can do is a smart idea.

Open source router on par with Cisco, users say
,----[ Quote ]
| "I'd say that any PC we could put [Vyatta OFR] on today is going to be
| way faster than Cisco. I would not be doing backbone routing with this,
| but I would not hesitate to say this will compete against Cisco
| either," Newnam said. "Well, as long as we're not switching half of
| the U.S. of course."

Open source players show a knack for NAC
,----[ Quote ]
| "Open source NAC will be a catalyst that big vendors like HP or IBM will
| wrap around their own products and then support the heck out of it,"
| for a fee, he says, but that will take some time and leave out the open
| source innovators.
