Plone and Drupal: Different Approaches, Different Results
paul.nowak wrote: Matt, thanks for the comments. I made an error on the version of Plone. It's 2.5 Plone running on Zope 2.9x. In regards to the additional products, we have a skin installed and we have a product that we had custom developed for us that connects to a PostgreSQL database. We've looked at slow PostgreSQL queries causing problems and have not been able to find an issue. We've also tested for the case where the PostgreSQL server is down and have not been able to create an issue. We therefor...

School Deploys Secure Computing's Secure Web to Utilize Virtualization Technology
Hawaii's Punahou School Deploys Secure Computing's Secure Web to Bolster Internet Security

Secure Computing announced that Honolulu's prestigious Punahou School has entered a three-year agreement to license Secure Computing's Secure Web (formerly known as Webwasher). Punahou School selected the Web filtering and security solution over the competition because of its environmentally friendly features, best-in-class malware and URL filtering, and built-in reporting capabilities.

"During the past year, we've been evaluating Secure Computing's Secure Web, along with appliances from other industry leading vendors," reported David Parrish, chief architect of Punahou School's IT network. "Secure Web gave us all of the features we needed without adding to our carbon footprint. That's very important to us here in Hawaii where energy costs are particularly high."

Unlike competing products, Secure Web can utilize virtualization technology, which allows one appliance to run multiple solutions. For example, instead of deploying separate hardware for intrusion detection and Web filtering, Punahou can choose to run both solutions on one appliance. As a result, Punahou will reduce energy consumption, benefiting the school's bottom line while helping protect the environment. In addition, deploying Secure Web on a virtual appliance won't require additional space, which can be very costly in Honolulu.

Punahou School also pointed to Secure Web's superior malware and URL filtering capabilities as key reasons for selecting the Secure Computing solution. "In a school setting, it's obviously very important to have technology in place that blocks inappropriate and malicious content. In our testing, Secure Web consistently blocked threats effectively," said Parrish.

Secure Web achieves such outstanding results by leveraging its industry-leading TrustedSource technology. "TrustedSource assigns reputation scores to Internet hosts and devices based on their behavior -- much like a credit bureau assigns credit ratings to consumers," explained Ken Rutsky, vice president of Product Marketing at Secure Computing. "As a result, Secure Web can stop spyware, viruses, phishing and other malware even if the site is in an allowed category and there is no available signature for the bad code."

In addition, deploying Secure Web gives Punahou School a single point of contact for support. "In the past, we used separate products for reporting and filtering," noted Parrish. "With Secure Web, we'll have one number to call for all of our support needs."

Punahou School purchased Secure Web through CORESystems Hawaii, a Secure Computing Gold Partner. CEO Bill Clisham revealed that he decided to join Secure Computing's extensive partner network in Hawaii specifically so that he could offer Secure Web to the school. "Punahou School has a well-deserved reputation for excellence in both academics and athletics," said Clisham. "Because Secure Computing also has a reputation for being the best, it seemed like a natural fit."

Parrish agreed. "We were really impressed with the Secure Web product, and we're convinced that it's the solution that best meets our school's needs."
