New Issue Online update from November 2003

Howdy Folks,

Since it's a short week for some of us (with the looming Holiday), we'd like to invite you to check out the entire November 25th issue. Some of the articles you'll find include:

• Our Look at Utility Computing. Vendors are preaching to the choir when they tout the need for better management tools, flexible and efficient pools of hardware resources, lower costs and more responsive IT. The real question is, can they deliver? Find out!

• A review of IT Portfolio Managers. These products can help you focus your department and tie each investment to the company's goals.

• A review of AntiVirus Suites. Once a new exploit hits the streets, a single misstep can sink your network. We took six antivirus suites for a whirl. Trend Micro had the best moves.

• Our Workshop on SOAP Alternatives. SOAP isn't always the cleanest integration model for your applications.An XML application architecture without SOAP requires few objects andcan be implemented easily inside a Java application or servlet.

Plus you'll find sneak previews, our Career Coach, Buzzcuts and more! Just check out our Table of Contents.

As always, you can find these and many more stories via our RSS feed with ease.

Have a great Holiday!
