From October 10 to 12, the NATO InfoSec Symposium 2006 will take place at SHAPE premises in Belgium. This event is organized by NATO exclusively for its 26 member countries. Four hundred representatives from the NATO Agencies and the Strategic Commands will attend the conferences and visit the stands. Bull has been invited to participate in this Symposium as “Vendor” to present its TrustWay offering, which has already gained recognition from the market and the accreditation bodies; it includes VPNs, cryptographic PCI cards and boxes, PPS USB cryptographic tokens.

The main goal of this project is to offer automatic tools to help security managers in protecting networked infrastructures and applications.

Backup/restore operations are becoming increasingly difficult to perform and their ever-increasingly complexity is threatening backup services levels. To meet the challenge of heterogeneous infrastructures, IT operations staff often use a combination of multiple Backup solutions and lose the potential benefits of consolidation and the optimal use of their IT investments. Guaranteeing access to protected data whatever are the mixture of technologies in use, even in the distant future, simplifying backup operations to reduce cost, and securing the backup process are the principle preoccupations of backup virtualisation. To review the virtual backup solutions currently available, Bull, Architect of an Open World, invites you to come to share experience with our experts who will answer all your questions.

According to the studies carried out by the leading industry analysts such as IDC, Gartner and Forrester, Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and its related convergence applications using the IP protocol represent a rapidly developing market.
Such technologies bring together voice, video and data communications in the same infrastructure and incorporate media applications that enhance the way businesses interact with their customers.
Destined to respond to the real need for more information on this subject, the VoIP Convention is set to be an essential event for the networks and telecoms industry. More extensive than a simple exhibition and yet also more concrete than a conference, the VoIP Convention provides a unique platform to explore all aspects of the emerging IP market. It addresses large and small businesses, as well as public services – helping functional, operation and financial managers, to make their strategic choices.
As a major integrator of telecoms solutions for operators and other businesses alike, Bull will be playing an active role in the event alongside our partner Thomson Cirpack, a major supplier of platforms for IP networks. Our experts will be delighted to welcome you on our stand C8 and to tell you more about our infrastructure solutions and IP Centrex services.
