This animated presentation recaps a VPN Day demonstration delivered by
Dave Piscitello. See how to configure an internal CA for IPsec gateway
authentication using Nokia's CryptoConsole and CryptoCluster 500. Dave
wishes to thank Nokia for supporting this VPN Day demo.

We frequently receive questions about VPNs, so we decided to post some
common questions and answers. Visit this FAQ page to learn more or to
ask us questions about Virtual Private Networking. Also, N+I VPN Day
attendees who begged Joel Snyder for his IPsec configuration templates
will find them posted here.

Lisa Phifer describes recent partner announcements by ISS, a managed
security service provider who believes in this market is best served
by forging strong alliances with hosting, infrastructure, and ISP/ASP
partners.

How is an IT manager supposed to figure out which ASPs will actually
provide better security, and which ones have merely learned how to
talk the talk? Evan Schuman interviews security experts attending
N+I Atlanta, including CoreCom's Dave Piscitello.

In this presentation, Dave Piscitello dons his "analyst" cap and argues
that shared access is that elusive Killer Application for Broadband local
access. This presentation complements last month's CLEC-Planet column.

Or, instead of searching for that one "killer app" that brings broadband
local access into the mainstream, growth and acceptance could lie in
simply adding innovation to the delivery. Dave Piscitello profiles
companies that are developing new delivery services over broadband.

Well-funded, staffed by experts, and complemented by powerful partners,
ASP infrastructure provider Loudcloud tries to make getting on-line as
quick and painless as possible. Lisa Phifer writes about the approach
taken by this high profile startup for ASPnews.com and ISP-Planet.

At the carrier-class level, network management systems easily run into
the six-figure price range. In this ISP-Planet entry-level NMS series,
Lisa Phifer demonstrates that ISPs and other network admins can find
serious query, monitoring, and control tools for under $1,000.
