The MacEnterprise.org group will be presenting a Webcast on DeepNines on Tuesday, November 27th at 1:00pm EST (10:00am PST).  
 
This webcast will focus on the innovative methods DeepNines has developed to keep networks safe and critical content accessible.  In working with educational institutions, financial, banking and oil and gas customers, DeepNines has observed that people have very clever ways of getting around traditional network firewalls and content filters.  In response, they've developed a solution that runs on the Apple Xserve with Leopard that eliminates any undesired access to the web; either via proxies, p2p, games, streaming and other unwanted content. Join Greg Jackson from DeepNines, who will demonstrate the different kinds of techniques people use and show how their solution provides superior protection to traditional methods of internet security, and also eliminates unwanted or “bad” traffic that bogs down and congests the network, while prioritizing the good traffic

Sponsored by IronGate Server Management & Consulting, in association with Digital Transitions the next OS X Integrators Birds of a Feather gathering is taking place at MaRS Discovery District on College St. at University Ave., Toronto, Canada on Thursday November 22nd from 7:00PM-9:00PM.

In this session we're looking to carry on from our previous session on the fundamentals of Directory Systems. We plan to cover integration methods to allow authentication against a 3rd party directory structure while retaining management of your OS X workstations from Open Directory's managed client settings. This seminar series aims to introduce administrators and technical co-ordinators to real life implementations of OS X and OS X Server, in a wide range of practical situations. Presentations are given by industry experts and/or system administrators, in a format which fosters open discussions and group collaboration.

Registration and more details of the event are available on Apple's Seminar Website.

If you're on the Mac-Managers mailing list, best to read this.

The Macintosh Managers mailing list has been operating since 1991, and like any system with over 6000 days of uptime a little cruft has accumulated … it could use a reboot. That will happen this coming Friday, November 16th, 2007.
