Google unleashes next Wave

At its I/O conference in San Francisco last week, Google gave developers a preview of a new communication and collaboration product called Google Wave, reports Heise Online.

Google will invite selected programmers to contribute to this project even before the software is released and plans to make Wave freely available as open source software in a few months.

Wave is server-based and combines the features of a whole range of other communication and collaboration services. Users access it via a Web interface. They can use it for conversations which may be held asynchronously, like e-mails, or synchronously, like chats.

DocuLex says its new Archive Studio WebSearch component can detect unauthorised or inappropriate e-mail content, enabling organisations to control content of e-mail crossing their server through the e-mail archiving program's content filter, states ECM Connection.

This feature enables key words and phrases determined to be unauthorised or inappropriate to be identified, and the organisation's authorities to be notified with questionable e-mail isolated for review and applicable action.

Additionally, all circulating e-mail is captured, with body and attachment content organised and archived, mitigating information loss and subsequent security risks in real-time.

HP has introduced HP PolyServe which it says extends virtualisation beyond today's most common virtual machine approaches, according to The Nation.

The company says its virtualisation utilities for database and file serving provide full native performance and comprehensive 24/7 availability, as well as reduced costs by cutting data duplication and time of migration and by reducing ongoing managerial costs.

According to HP, PolyServe extends the benefits of virtualisation by supporting all range of server platforms or servers with specific configuration, even if they run on the different versions of operating system.
