MEEC and Microsoft Present: Forefront!
Date: Tuesday, February 8th, 2011
Time: 9:30am to 11:00am
Title: Forefront Security Products
Description: Forefront security products deliver protection, access and management solutions, built around user identity and integrated with a highly secure, interoperable
Platform. Our solutions help deliver a more contextual and user-centric security solution. As schools look to extend learning, they need to increase collaboration, sharing and access to information but must do so while protecting their assets and infrastructure. Frequently this must be addressed in the context of shrinking budgets and increased regulatory pressure. In response to these challenges and opportunities, Microsoft is taking a fundamentally different approach to security. We call it business ready security.
As part of the MEEC agreement, MD schools and universities are already licensed to deploy many of the Forefront technologies.
Please RSVP by Monday, Feb. 7th, 2011, 12:00 Noon to meec-office@usmd.edu.

These deliver a modular and cost-effective solution that can be deployed in appropriate increments for small and medium organizations, while also being cost-effective for large enterprises requiring scalable capacity and high-end performance.
Join us and let the experts from Data Networks and Dell introduce you to the iSCSI frameless SAN architecture. The agenda will cover:
• Features and benefits of framed vs. frameless architecture
• SAN self-management features for reducing IT burden
