Re: Which is faster ?

[Andrew Levicki]

I'm guessing the 10,000 RPM will perform better even with less disk buffer
because it spins faster and doesn't need the buffer so much. But I am
prepared for someone to blow my preconceptions out of the window...

I'm guessing the 10x RPM, but perhaps this may be of help:

RE: OpenDNS

[Sam Cayze]

It does block many Malware sites... so in a sense it helps with the
Malware issue.  Should anyone depend on that solely, no, but
multi-Layered protection is a good thing to strive for.

OpenDNS is more of a content control system. It does not do much in the
area of malware blocking. 

This may change, but I would not rely on it for that. 

That being said, I use it at home and it is very good.

I haven't looked at the enterprise level system from OpenDNS... how does
it differentiate each user? Can you look up what a user was doing at a
specified time? (Aka, is there good logging?)

Just in case you're interested, there's also this:

It seems to be getting a lot of play in the Xen world, especially XCP.

One of our people has asked about this. They have lists that go over
10,000 and although we run Exchange 2007, I think that is too large for
us. Not sure, though. I am looking for a good (but cheap) mailer. They
would be fairly simple e-mails. Any ideas?
