Hiring an unpaid summer intern?

Posted on May 18, 2012 by NHBR.com: Web Feeds

With the spring semester ending, many high school and college students are returning home to seek employment or valuable work experience that may lead to permanent employment after graduation. Fueled by the lack of jobs and a flood of available candidates, many students are willing to be paid with “valuable experience” instead of money. While this may sound appealing, employers beware: Engaging unpaid volunteers or interns for the summer is rife with potential legal liability under both state and federal law.

CloudShark v1.4 Brings CloudShark Enterprise!

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Cloudshark Front Page

PORTSMOUTH, NH – CloudShark.org, creators of the first of its kind packet capture management appliance that allows users to secure, analyze, and share network packet captures, today announced the release of CloudShark Enterprise, its private-cloud-based solution for enterprise IT teams.

With increasing reliance on the data center, centralization and virtualization, and cloud-based services, IT teams face a daunting challenge when it comes to network monitoring, analysis, and troubleshooting. Network packet captures are a critical and often overlooked piece of this evolving world — and the security and organization of network packet captures is something that is yet to be addressed by the IT community. Enterprise IT teams need a way to secure and collaborate on network captures anywhere, at any time, on any device.

“CloudShark’s popularity has showed us that users have embraced the concept of packet surfing — using web technologies for protocol analysis,” said Joe McEachern, founder of Cloudshark.org. “CloudShark Enterprise is the next step — giving enterprise IT teams the advanced power they need to secure and leverage these valuable assets, uncovering problems before they become critical and significantly reducing MTTR.”

Did you ever hear someone described as being well networked or as a good networker? Have you ever received or given advice to get out there and do some networking?  It’s safe to assume we all agree that networking is a critical element in many professionals’ business and career development.  I’d also add that, by my own accounts, networking is every bit as ambiguous and misdefined as it is popular.
