Dell on Tuesday said will resell Juniper Networks products under the PowerConnect brand, boosting the computer maker's data center offerings that compete with Cisco.
Dell plans to market, service, and support several Juniper networking products, including the MX Series routers, EX Series Ethernet switches, and SRX Series gateways, all of which run Juniper's JUNOS operating system. Dell, which has a similar deal with Juniper rival Brocade, says the latest deal rounds out its 10 Gigabit Ethernet fabric to feed I/O to both storage and networking.
In July IBM said it was expanding its partnership with Brocade and Juniper. IBM resells the companies' products, as well as Cisco equipment, but Big Blue has been encouraging Brocade and Juniper to fill router and switch gaps in data centers. Dell also sells Cisco products.
In the midst of all this partnering, Brocade is reportedly in discussionsto sell itself. The Wall Street Journal reported this month that companies interested in Brocade include HP and possibly Oracle.

Point-to-multipoint fixed wireless broadband solution helps service providers and enterprises extend connectivity to unserved and hard-to-reach locations and customers
October 27, 2009
SCHAUMBURG, Ill. – October 27, 2009 – The Enterprise Mobility Solutions business unit of Motorola, Inc.(NYSE: MOT) today announced the latest addition to its industry-leading point-to-multipoint (PMP) fixed wireless broadband portfolio - the PMP 430 wireless broadband distribution and access network solution.
Offering increased throughput rates and better range in the 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequency bands, this high-performance connectivity solution enables businesses, government agencies and service providers to extend high-speed connectivity to unserved and hard-to-reach locations and customers. The PMP 430 can be co-located with existing Motorola PMP wireless broadband networks to offer service providers greater connectivity from their existing access point locations and is an approved solution for providing broadband connectivity within the guidelines of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
“The PMP 430 enables us to expand our network,” said Fergal Kearney, operations manager, Aptus Broadband. “The high throughput, low latency and long range enable us to provide connectivity to a larger number of subscribers in the area, some of which were previously difficult to connect.”
Motorola’s PMP 430 fixed wireless broadband and access network solution features Orthogonal Frequency Divisional Multiplexing (OFDM) tech¬nology to deliver outstanding throughput and long rangeas well as line of sight (LOS) and near-line of sight (nLOS) performance for reliable and secure data, voice and video connectivity. Offering more than 40 Mbps of total aggregate throughput per access point sector, the system can deliver more than 160 Mbps of throughput from a single tower location to difficult-to-reach subscribers, including those in multipath urban or rural areas. The PMP 430’s higher gain antennas and OFDM technology provide extended ranges of up to 40 miles (64 km) when the subscriber module is configured with a passive LENS or reflector. Motorola’s latest solution also offers low one-way latency of less than 3.5 msec, enabling customers to provide high Quality of Service (QoS) for latency-sensitive voice and video services. The throughput rates of the PMP 430 subscriber modules can be upgraded easily from 4 to 40 Mbps via a software key system to meet customers’ changing bandwidth requirements.

| Windows 7 takes on Apple's Snow Leopard |

Last week's release of Windows 7 had Microsoft Corp. executives from CEO Steve Ballmer on down confident that this version of Windows is everything Vista wasn't.
The launch of Windows 7 followed by two months the release of Apple's latest operating system, Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard." The latter mainly focused on under-the-hood technologies, and Apple went out of its way to promise no major obvious changes. Snow Leopard, which looks just like its predecessor except for a few UI tweaks, is supposed to provide a solid foundation for future technologies and hardware.
Microsoft, in many ways, took a similar tack with Windows 7. Following on the heels of the much-unloved Vista, focusing on the basics made sense. Windows users, like Mac users, want an operating system that works.
Fair warning: I come to Windows as a Mac user by nature and background -- I've worked with Macs for 17 years, although as an IT professional, I've had more than my fair share of time with Windows machines. Put simply: As an IT professional, I work on whatever hardware is in front of me.
In recent months, Windows 7 has been praised for righting many of Vista's wrongs. Back in August,Computerworld's Preston Gralla offered his own take on the two operating systems. Preston, who leans toward the Windows side of things, evaluated them both and declared a tie.
With that in mind, I took Windows 7 out for a spin recently, focusing on its updated user interface, general usability, stability and performance over several weeks.
