AT&T recently conducted a 100-gigabit test of the CRS-3 technology and claims it works as expected. The CRS-3 offers three times the capacity of Cisco's CRS-1, released in 2004, which laid the foundation for much of Cisco's network-as-platform strategy.

Tech Analysis: Change management can prevent disasters and help a company clean up its act organizationally, but it's important to have a clear idea of what you're doing and why.
Each year at this time, eWEEK Labs names the products that stood out in our testing in the 12 months past. We shy away from naming the “best” products of the year because best is so relative. Instead, we focus on the products that, among other things, raise the technology bar in their category; innovate in some significant way; better align IT with business needs; and, in general, make day-to-day life easier for IT professionals. To be eligible, a product had to be tested by eWEEK Labs, and available, this year. Herewith is our list for 2009. (And click on the links in each item for the Labs' original reviews of the products.)
