That's a lot of MP3 files. These are not the biggest arrays you can buy - the biggest is still available from Hitachi - but size is not what will sell its new storage devices, IBM says. The key is the arrays' virtualization technologies.

IP-based video services are cheaper and more reliable. Plus, they have better resolution. So why are so many users still running their videoconferences over ISDN? <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/101104specialfocus.html?net> BEA polishes Diamond platform BEA Systems is readying the next version of its WebLogic platform, dubbed Diamond, which is aimed at helping companies more easily build and deploy a services-oriented architecture. <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/101104bea.html?net> Carriers speak out on consolidation Despite reports that AT&T and MCI are preparing to seek or are actively seeking buyers, the RBOCs are all but ruling themselves out as potential suitors. <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/101104rbocs.html?net> _______________________________________________________________ To contact: Jeff Caruso Jeff Caruso is managing editor of online news for Network World.
