In fact, Baklarz, chief information security officer (CISO) of the American Red Cross in Falls Church, Va., has his staff studying for the same two security certifications that he holds, the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification and GIAC Security Essentials Certification (GSEC). "It's very important these days," he says. "It's a differentiator -- it gives some indication that a person has some sort of knowledge and cares enough to go out and get the certification." >> For the complete tip, CLICK: http://searchsolaris.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid12_gci863241,00.html >> For more IT Career Expert tips, CLICK: http://searchsolaris.techtarget.com/tipsIndex/0,289482,sid12_tax293144,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= SOLARIS AND INDUSTRY NEWS The headlines below and others are available on our news page. >> Full Stories: http://searchsolaris.techtarget.com/news/ SUN MUSTERS CLUSTERS FOR SUPERCOMPUTING | CNET Sun is mustering clusters when it comes to supercomputing. The company has announced its new Fire Link technology, which connects high-end servers with a single, killer cluster. Sun says you can connect up to eight servers with a single switch. Sun has also announced version 2.0 of its Capacity on Demand server feature, which lets you buy a system with more processors than you need, and pay for the extra ones only when you activate them. SUN SPRINGS FOR TERRASPRING | IDG News Sun is springing for Terraspring, a maker of network infrastructure software. The idea with this acquisition is to put more meat on the N1 strategy and make data center management a little less painful. ORACLE SIGNS UP WITH IBM'S JAVA PROJECT | ZDNet Oracle is hopping aboard the Eclipse consortium. Eclipse is IBM's project to develop an open-source tool for developing Java applications -- it's similar to Sun's NetBeans program. Oracle wanted its customers to have a choice. ORACLE: 9I APP SERVER KICKS ON SOLARIS | ServerWatch According to a new Oracle report, its Oracle9i Application Server runs fastest on Solaris and Linux. Oracle based its results on SPECjAppServer2001, a new industry benchmark designed to measure the performance of J2EE application servers. NEW OPENVIEW RELEASES HIT ON WEB SERVICES, NNM, OVO FOR WINDOWS HP OpenView will announce new Web services management capabilities as well as enhancements to Network Node Manager and OpenView Operations for Windows this week at the HP Software Universe in Lisbon, Portugal.

But road trippers who have Airedales instead of Aibos or kitties that run on Deli Cat instead of Duracell need to make sure their pets get fed while they're gone. Enter the aptly-named iSeePet, a water tank and food dish hooked up to a Web camera. Pet owners can log onto the iSeePet Web site from their hotel rooms, take a peek at the pet dish and use the Web interface to feed or water accordingly. And it's a guarantee that no animals will bite the hands that feed them.
