Perforce Software announced the release of Perforce 99.1, its latest system configuration management (SCM) software. This new version offers enhancements that give users greater control over the entire configuration management environment.
Perforce 99.1 contains data-compression capability in its application programming interface that enables the graphical user interface to run two to four times faster than previously possible over slow network connections.
Perforce helps software development teams manage large, complex development projects across multiple OS platforms, including Sun's Solaris. A client-side compression option speeds data transfer by as much as 10 times over the basic file transfer protocol.
A Perforce single-user license is $600.

Advanced Digital Information Corp. (ADIC) released FastStor 22, a DLT autoloader with increased capacity. FastStor 22 improves information management, increases data security, and reduces administrative overhead.
The 22-tape FastStor 22 can store more than 1.5 terabytes of data at normal 2:1 compression. The autoloader lets sites back up data at up to 600 MB per minute and retain a full month of data in the library. The tape library is based on the architecture of the ADIC FastStor seven-tape DLT tape autoloader.
FastStor 22 comes with a choice of DLT4000 or DLT7000 drives in a compact case, which can either sit on a desktop or be rack-mounted into five vertical units in standard 19-inch systems.
Features include:
FastStor 22 works with all major backup software packages and open-system platforms including Solaris.
Pricing for a basic version with a DLT4000 drive starts at $7,995.

The SAGE (Systems Advisory Group Enterprises Inc.) BRICKHouse Web server offers process-based security (PBS) with email, HTTP, FTP, and custom remote administration. This Linux server is specially designed to protect Web sites from unwanted hackers and damaging viruses.
BRICKHouse's new PBS feature is an unprecedented approach to security, in which access to resources is based on the processes running and not the user.
PBS was designed based on the premise that people don't delete files; rather, processes do. Currently, in user-based systems, security is designed to give access to resources based on an identified user.
Additional benefits to BRICKHouse include:
Pricing for BRICKHouse starts at $2,795; the product is available September 1999.
