DP5e Powered Patch Panel. Panduit Corp., www.panduit.com
The DP5e Powered Patch Panel injects 802.3af Power over Ethernet into a 24-port patch panel, eliminating space, power and point-of-failure problems inherent in many midspan panels. It also can remove two AC/DC power conversions from a UPS, resulting in significant cost savings for power and cooling. This, along with a low price per port and advanced remote cable management, will make those buying new switches think twice about paying extra for embedded PoE.

BlackMagic Server Edition. BlackBall, www.blackball.us
BlackMagic Server Edition is an application that provides a networked drive based on its own Rich Media File System, which automatically indexes files by content and metadata. Instead of overwriting files, RMFS intercepts every saved file and calculates changes made since the last save, so files can be rolled back to any previous version. BlackMagic runs on Linux, Sun Solaris and Windows 2000.
