The company is also currently a number of changes to business processes of an "ERP" works. Solution Manager for project-related changes in People standard to protect the ability of heliographic sees an opportunity to use.

Some of the new features in version 7.1 is no longer a person of recognized interest. "Documents contrast, the literature project, validation, version 7.1 is interesting," he said.

Google enterprise apps gaining, but as supplements -- not substitutes

They are inexpensive. They (except if they are not) can be accessed from any device with a browser. The federal government this summer, they prefer the Interior Ministry to check whether Microsoft has made its mark. Mobility Motorola Inc. are large companies like Google Inc. and U. S. News top 100 universities in 61 Heck probably knew that before moving, and the latest World Report rankings Google has been moved to Google Apps and Google corporate blog, launched this week.

Four million companies with enterprise applications from Google, an increase of 3 million a year before use. And accelerating the pace: The company said that 5000 companies every day, your Google Apps account records. Squad Google is developing very rapidly in this area. The company used today, more than 1000 team implementation, doubling the number of employees in just 18 months earlier, a Google spokesman confirmed.

However, on the verge of great success in business enterprise applications in Google? Analysts tracking the simple-minded monitoring of the labor market, not the company's future. Step taken in large enterprises, these practices are still an integral, but anywhere to change the Microsoft Office applications, and is usually applied in the business, rather than the different working groups. However, always Google the right to develop their messaging and collaboration for businesses wanting to make the short list with Microsoft and IBM, these analysts are quick to add. Unlike a few years ago, the interest goes beyond an attempt to Gmail.

Free your staff "person is not satisfied with your current e-mail, e-mail instead, Google is looking," Ted Schadler, Forrester Research Inc. analyst, and strengthened according to the authors, the basic energy to its customers and business transformation. "People do things and how to get the benefits, and offers an important difference in how a work platform for SaaS-based delivery is supported [Software as a Service] as an important transition looking for on Google. Simply does not make a decision. "

To go to Google management

In the company are looking for on Google or other collaboration platform SaaS, a number of reasons, but a growing mobile workforce and IT systems needed to support the rapid change of the activity are two important factors, Schadler said. Usually, Microsoft and Lotus software messaging and collaboration running an earlier version and would be an upgrade. "Google is not the first in the list, once a short list of questions is," he said. CIO - even CEOs and boards of directors - rather than push, the staff are, Forrester found. SaaS is a work product is detected, and yes, the cost is a real grabber. "Look or feel or behave like a solution based on old plants, and some people hate, but I'm not very cheap, "he said.

Lincoln Property Co. It has a more or how things were few, Jay Kenney CIO of Novell GroupWise for its 4,000 employees in 2010, Google Apps, a management company based in Dallas, by changing the electronic mail system, he said. Possible to move the SaaS platform is a practice management infrastructure and strategy in line with each contract, but Google Apps is not your favorite. "Google Apps in the business model there is only one case has been published. Internalization or out, or was the leading candidate of change," he said. Turned out to be a compelling business case, "It's cheaper than anything else was out there," he said. "Change management is really harder - to reach users through the company is comfortable with the new system.”

Who does not need Google Apps?

CIOs Whit said, Google can not afford not to look at the option, Andrews principal analyst at Gartner Inc., Google "This e-mail, and a solution is good enough for Google Apps for documents, many people within organizations continues to grow, "he said.

It is important to define good enough. Google in the Office family of applications business for employees who need access to a large number of old applications with less sense. In addition, critical business processes or BPM, Office applications and SharePoint available to resident companies many stores management heavy, but Andrews said.

In addition, the data are not suitable cloud-based messaging and collaboration you need to know that the rest of the business world, companies without a cloud in many places, the bandwidth and reliable companies to infrastructure have no experience, Schadler, Forrester said.

As for the attitude, "remove and replace, it will go all" - not, analysts agree. "Google Apps rather than the more commonly used as a complement," said Andrews. In fact, measures are rarely computer systems are large. "These people are not my photos on a hard disk, stored on Flickr, as now, such as Microsoft Office and do not shoot."

For most companies are moving to Google Apps "pure cost game" starts, the organization has recommended Jason Lee, a partner MavenWave Partners LLC, a consulting firm based in Chicago (and Google partner) agree move the cloud. I recognize, however, Schadler, Forrester, companies in the first decision to move the site, or a solution based on non-local programs should consider is whether you want to continue.

This client MavenWave Journal Communications Inc., a Milwaukee was the case with the media. It was close to the renovation and large enterprise agreement with Microsoft, and separate IT infrastructures, including multiple versions of 17 deployments, and Microsoft Exchange. New CIO, Michael O'Brien, who brought on board, "changing the driver," said Lee.

Earlier, at the beginning of a CIO, cloud computing, O'Brien, was shaken. The purpose of communication possible in the cloud "is to put as many daily operations. Thus, despite the company's contract with Microsoft, Google Apps has caused the situation to pass. Until 2012, when everyone 27 000 employees, the difference is a significant change in the last message of the organization on Google Apps "among the hundreds of MS Exchange Server and SharePoint, and not just" O'Brien was founded. "doubted the task to find the first on board, and even some of the people."

In fact, O'Brien decided to go to the Google cloud computing is not prone to the Company believes that the most difficult things for the house to look at the many companies that bet MavenWave Lee. "Cooperation, technology base is probably the best place to invest in internal IT assets, the difference should be much chat for CIOs," he said.

And financial forecasts - a problem for the owner of O'Brien and Lincoln Kenney involves a lot of work to manage change.

Tips for making the business case for CRM analytics – and what can be gained

Exceed customer expectations with the level of service organizations in the fight to provide exceptional customer service. Without the right technology and processes in place, companies can not achieve this level of service. Analytical CRM is where it can support.

Today, call center organizations, including sales teams and marketing and social media platforms, including large amounts of customer data from multiple sources to collect. These customer data within the organization, but not always, as a follow-up analysis and a complete history of client can be the use of agents.

CRM analysis and how it can benefit an organization

CRM customer data from multiple channels are used to analyze large volumes of a series of analytical tools and processes. Analytical CRM strategy, management institutions and to obtain valuable information about customers can track all communications with their customers.

Kate Leggett, senior analyst at Forrester Research Inc. and an expert on strategies for customer service, organizations need three things to offer exceptional customer service, he said.

"You e-mail or instant messaging client, such as Twitter, a communication channel of communication can continue to start and want to ensure that the next channel. In addition, consistency and wants to offer all customers the same information for all channels, "he said.

Finally, Leggett customer interactions with customers having to repeat that each new communication should be based on previous interactions, he said. CRM Analytics provides the basic functionality of this organization needs.

Scenarios CRM Investment Analysis for General

A company can have several reasons for the assessment of CRM needs. A company that customers do not know the difference, in most cases, the first important indicator.

Company policy or regulatory compliance, control operating costs arising out of or from time to time as a business, a bad time to invest in satisfaction scores show that customer service when the analytical CRM is common to other situations.

To analyze the CRM decision-making, Leggett recommends a company first customers and understand their needs. Here are some things to watch:

• Customers want the service to the organization? 
• The company wants to support its customers through multiple channels to interact with? 
• Target customers who want to send SMS text messages only have a teenage audience?

Once organizations have a better understanding of customer needs, technology and business processes to improve customer service for a specific plan areas.

Develop a work plan for the analysis of the growing CRM

CRM is an ideal solution for analysis, a good match for the size and structure of the note that you need.

One method uses the information obtained about the information specific to your business needs and growing with the proposed business plan is to meet the small stage.

Incremental control of a work plan in the project will help protect a large budget and organizational changes or business as best you can solve problems that occur during execution.

"Again, what does not, we know that this is a roadmap for incremental improvements. This is the addition of a new communication channel, or may be specific targets, such as improving business processes to ensure that all agents have the same information channels, "Leggett said.

Structural analysis of the CRM project team, the right

Sponsor a project to put the right management team is very important for the proposed analytical CRM. The project is too large or if there are differences between the project team monitors the shareholders.

Leggett team and C-level executives responsible for the implementation and maintenance budget to manage the sponsor recommends starting with a program manager. In other words, a vice president and stakeholders to bring business - a manager or team members and the director of client services can be a bit you can include.

Finally, and one of the leading computer experts to put (the best agents) of the system under test, provide feedback.

Microsoft sharpens Windows Server 8, Azure cloud story

IT managers in Windows shops had questions about Windows Server 8, and is currently, with clouds of blue of the company, the building blocks for the strategy if the service.

From dawn to dusk at the conference this week to build the leaders of Microsoft Server 8 and the Azure platform, linked to the activity of the company in a collaborative relationship, and the message that hitting applications.

In addition, application developers and computer stores with a focus on the company continually evolving, high as a cloud platform of choice is informed by the experience of pushing the technical properties of the server product and service Housing Management of the building.

Al Gillen, Framingham, Massachusetts, an analyst at IDC, said the strong will never between Azure and Windows Server 8.

"We with our customers in a hybrid computing model, facilitate the adoption of Microsoft, both products are waiting for an increase in their use of Windows Azure is built of synergy," said Gillen.

According to Microsoft, Azure applications, Windows, both for data and services via a variety of Web services for federated identity is intended to serve as a platform to provide an identity manager.

Satya Nadella, Microsoft server and tools division of labor, said the head of Bus Services Toolkit for Windows Azure, including the September 8th edition and many new versions of storage, the presence of Windows Azure, and these changes were continued on a monthly basis.

8 Toolkit for Windows Azure links and advice for the use of Windows Azure applications for the construction of examples of Metro-style code, documents, and includes the components.

CONSTRUCTION, Mark Russinovich, Microsoft Azure Platform-as-a-azure main techniques-Service (PaaS) model, partners, and how best to use the cloud to create applications that can be useful. Resources Azure purchase and control, he said, because developers and IT professionals to manage the anxiety it produces enough.

Russinovich also strength, scalable and highly available storage Azure said. Data were repeated three times, and "geo-replication" is reflected in multiple data centers - a fall, even if supported by the data elsewhere, he said.

Back to home that business affects the amount of cloud computing is a highlight of the President and CEO Steve Ballmer said the heart of business from Microsoft - Windows, Windows Phone, Xbox, Office, Bing, and dynamics - while the cloud to be redesigned to work better with.

"You think about the business opportunities in the cloud [Windows developers] can offer," said Steve Ballmer. "Windows Azure, the cloud is an area of ​​value to many developers to work with Windows Live," Ballmer said.

Enterprise Social Software Magic Quadrant: Assess user need first

Social software company intranet, only niche providers that offer some products do not sing the praises of new channels. Social Tools Social Networks Business Software Magic Quadrant is Gartner Inc. According to the latest in the workplace, the platforms of social collaboration, and had become increasingly crowded market has come to represent

Gartner suggests three ways to select providers with a professional - providers of custom applications for social platform, and suppliers of enterprise applications for suppliers in place. Closely with suppliers and companies need to assess the needs of business users and different applications of this kind of decision.

"[Co-pros also] if you bought a product that looks best on behalf of the organization, but not because they actually increase the adoption and ending with a product, the different groups, This is a deep understanding, "said Gartner vice president and distinguished analyst Carol Rozwell, author of the report.

Accordance with the tests easier to use is to test software applications for social enterprises.

Ryan Ruta, National Instruments, an architect of social enterprise, the automatic test equipment and virtual instrumentation software, a producer Austin, Texas, platform social networking for the first time in 2007 to Jive Software deployed customer-oriented business units, external monitor social media sites. After two years of successful adoption, Ruta Jive Software platform for social enterprises to cooperate with the pilot decided internally.

"Our staff receives constant influx of new workers ... so we have a lot of new university graduates, "said Ruta.”We wanted to give them a tool, not only are they fun to use, but the most important ... lose weight, and [they] will be encouraged to work for. "

Pilot The pilot group, "NI Discussion," branding the company's internal software for National Instruments as more people heard about the benefits of a rapid increase in demand due to the short duration only lasted two weeks, Ruta said.

"We see ourselves as part of the cooperation of our power and we have approximately 6000 users worldwide in the first three months of 1000, I would say the first month, and 2000, and continue to rise faster ' said Ruta. "In fact, this virus.... has not declared. I was a tool they can use to do the job and accepted today because over 80% of those sent to friends. “Choosing the right social software manufacturer

Author Nikos Drakos, research director of Gartner Magic Quadrant In addition, about two dozen vendors, and three types of providers of social software to perform more or less drops.

Vendors such as Jive social practices, the report said, "and the flow of other systems, [this] to provide information, but with some integration points, all functions of autonomous social software" which can be distinguished.

Platform providers like Microsoft and IBM, portals, content, application, workflow, search capabilities, and as part of a large business portfolio Enter social software. Providers of business applications, including Salesforce.com, such performance management and training of its own, such as "horizontal" process people "people-intensive business processes or vertical, which is incorporated in social functions such as account management and customer service, "said.

User cooperation, but to fall into the bins, such as the need for very fine and should be evaluated on a more strategic approach, Rozwell said.

In addition to testing a variety of applications for business users, IT professionals can also help by buying freemium or low cost of social collaboration tools, users must learn to cooperate "under the radar," he said. Companies often flows malicious activity, such as personal profile pages of users, more powerful search functions, and Twitter, or Facebook, the report suggests that the consumer has accepted high quality tools, Rozwell said.

"They usually provided their own organizations with the tools to find without these tools," he said. "Instead, follow these people and these activities, the manager or co-director of information in order to crush the wise ... try to find groups of people and see what they do - look at the tools , improved productivity in the workplace on the basis of this tool - and the technology will be useful in some cases the beginning. "

Social Networking Software and "Collaboration 2.0"

Jive in January 2010, before the production of National Instruments, Ruta other application vendors and owners of social platforms, including Microsoft and IBM software vendors Atlassian social enterprise is considered a fan.

He said - "[profile] and [message], the answer is to look at Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 is almost able to say the least to be able to [tools] Collaboration 1.0 I know what it is "." We keep the content on the characteristics of mass consumption of a vehicle and wanted to give us something extra. Considered IBM, Microsoft, we look for Jive to look again and again ... and I went [to Jive] easy to use, and use cases [those who worked with the platform jumped]. "

In general, software vendors’ social enterprise Social Software Magic Quadrant report, "good enough" could not pass the threshold and have more advanced features and ease of use has begun to mature. Suppliers and users can also add more widgets, similar to what Google iGoogle years ago; there are web pages that allow you to customize Rozwell said.

"Easy to use, intuitive, simple - we have used in recent years than all the others cliché -. Fluidity see how ridiculous we saw a big difference in the social software platforms and flexibility," he said. "This company is a more natural, and yet we see many features of its public consumption would be to find software platforms."

Ruta is a leader in custom Jive perspective has its own distribution, but is in continuous interaction with users in discussion NI platform independent integration awkward business software developers to create applications National Instruments plug- ins in progress.

This final version 5.0 updated and satisfied with the results, although the Jive platform, the Ruta Management System (CMS) has some room for improvement. Jive set of workflows to use and would like to see is the ability to lock a document being edited. It is a complementary team of software development has evolved from the need to avoid.

"I call Jive Swiss army knife - it is the use of open standards technology, Jive, and try to incorporate more or less, if any," Ruta said.

Data Storage Strategies for data on the expansion of the great powers "of new ideas

Too much information and too little ability to process and understand: the first is a human problem. Computer technology is, of course, automation systems, editing and analysis tools by providing assistance and information has increased in size. But now this kind of websites, mobile devices such as sensors and produce an overwhelming flood of data processing systems and other data sources - or ignore - build strategies for data storage and past frames.

There is talk in circles, or "big data" - a new challenge for computer equipment and data storage, how to deal with this tsunami of information with new tools and techniques to optimize their existing investments in technology for data management.

At least, Forrester Research Inc. analyst Brian Hopkins, a fairly large volume of data requires a rethinking of traditional data warehouses and institutions. For example, Hopkins and the integration of certain types of large volumes of data in a central data warehouse, data marts separate hub and spoke connections will be a challenge, he said. Data warehouses primarily focused on structured data, he said. But what are classified as very large volumes of unstructured or semi-structured.

"In a sense, is to head down the assumptions major data storage," said Hopkins. The traditional answer specific questions focused on data warehousing and business users, business intelligence environments, data is cleaned and to extract, transform and load process, and eventually became Reports and ready for analysis. According to Hopkins an organization's data is generally less than 5% ", sometimes much less" is used.

A new twist on strategies for data storage

Instead, the data focuses on key strategies are often a lot of information. In addition, the version "full reality of the 360-degree compatible with the concept of a large database of heaven evaporates completely," said Hopkins. Directed by the so-called virtual data warehouses and analytical added complexity of managing storage hardware and data and may require heavy processing power, large data environments are common.

"The large data models with the most interesting and anomalies, there must be," Wayne Eckerson, business applications, TechTarget Inc. Director’s research and the media, said the architectural group. "But I have a lot of him because he is much more difficult to analyze large volumes of data we have. Expensive in this area." Many organizations are beyond traditional data storage and is in the open source Hadoop MapReduce so that this type of account, as emerging high-tech evidence, Eckerson said.

Richard Winter, president of Winter Corp., a consulting firm in Cambridge, Mass., data storage, focusing on the data before analysis to obtain a business opportunity would be difficult to identify different offers. It was developed for the treatment of asthma, a new "intelligent" sample showed an inhaler, an inhaler is used, and the wireless technology is a function of the patient's identity and sends the time and location of the base.

"It is, for example, are downloaded to a load of potentially allergenic soy products, soy powder, put in the air may be possible to combine this information with information," said Winter. These correlations can help medical researchers better understand the characteristics of asthma, he said.

Grand Challenges Data: Volume

However, there are potential problems of data management: the devices became widespread in the winter, millions of people worldwide to a substantial improvement, and begins to use the "generation of stored data needs to be said for a long time and is ready for analysis.”

Professionals and storage of data, important information you need to understand not only the volume, Philip Russo, the Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI), the managing director of research data says. "Other features are very important," he said - for example, large volumes of data, including Web browsing, can be very different, in fact, point of sales data and Call Detail Records, text messages, social networks and various types of information.

Large data installations face the challenges of managing, headlights like a deer famous Russo, many organizations, he said: They understand the potential value of knowledge, but over the data was abandoned with the challenges of managing a very traditional process of storing data is not particularly practical.

For example, customer behavior - - to prevent this type of stroke, Russo, investment advice, an area of ​​high returns in an attempt to maintain a strong emphasis on the data to find ways to reduce and then apply knowledge of traditional and new tools to help you take control. "Select a topic to get something useful," he said. "Do not think that the need to keep track of all the questions."

"Great knowledge" Analysis of Major Challenges to Traditional Approaches

Terabytes or petabytes, quickly became a reference point for data warehousing business, many companies are obsessed with the volume and diversity of "large volumes of data." However, usually the storage of large volumes of structured and unstructured materials, analysis of the problem is ignored - that goes with it is usable, real-time business intelligence (BI) to convert the raw data, smarter decisions.

Traditional relational data warehouse and business intelligence initiatives, and many planned to add some data available on a regular basis and supply of mature products to benefit from a well-defined applications. His intention is that companies users can slice and dice data and general information about what is happening and to allow you to create reports to answer questions that the. For example, "What is the revenue for a specific region for a given time?"

Open the door for companies to explore the information models, many of these contracts to shake the established idea of ​​applying data analysis, might not have thought otherwise; ask questions, and finally the creation of strategies to provide a competitive advantage.

"Over the last 20 to 25 years, companies can take up to 5%, perhaps focused on the information presented to them," Brian Hopkins, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, principal analyst at Forrester Research Inc. "All we said, did not know what to do with the fall on the floor and fell into space. better able to compete for companies seeking to penetrate 95% of other data is swimming around them; they can do better than anyone."

Struggling to keep up with the traditional RDBMS

Aggregates, unlike the traditional relational database (RDBMS) with the efforts of structural data processing, large data warehouses with data feeds from various sources, including hard flooded social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, blogs, daily activity, information from Global Positioning System location bar code readers and RFID readers to talk about traffic and the machine creates the data produced by the sensors.

Stamford, Conn. Gartner Inc, a growing information estimated the overall annual volume of 59% and the volume of data and to cope with the diversity around the block when there are difficulties in the speed or how fast data can be processed in connection with large companies to offer certain advantages.

Data management of this concept, both economically and to manage the volume and speed requirements are not appropriate for the so-called traditional practices of large data storage systems, and there is excessive pressure on data BI in terms of performance.

"To achieve a more precise analysis of the new rates, or how to use the detailed analysis of the data have a paradigm shift in terms of" David Menninger, Ventana Research, Inc., San vice president and research director specializing in the management data strategies Ramon, Calif., consulting firm.

Large-scale data analysis, more data processing

Key paradigm for the analysis of volume, variety and speed of data on a massive range of new technologies designed to meet the challenges. At the heart of the new movement of massive parallel processing (MMP) will automatically get an important commodity to collect more than one server, and parallel to the workload of database technology divides the database performance, while working with very large data sets.

This basic architecture, while accelerating the speed of a user can ask questions, rather than the line used to reduce the amount of storage space in the columns are the columns of data and results database to store data. Database analysis, designed for large workloads and analysis of BI, companies to respond to requests faster and more efficient and economically gain access to large amounts of data are evaluated for a technology another. The same with real devices for data storage and server technology, storage and data management practices for the needs of large databases in a series of integrated packaging.

These skills tend to play outside of the Core RDBMS technology, however, for a significant amount of attention when it comes to the analysis of large data are relatively new. Community Hadoop open-source platform, especially as data, text, video, social media publications and manage large volumes of unstructured data streams is one of the most widely reported new measures. Distributed clusters with Hadoop file system based computers, data warehouse and data on the treatment of primary progressive Cassandra large data sets, including the MapReduce framework, which develops new technologies, is the beginning of the shell and other projects.

Draws the attention of large volumes of data used in Hadoop

More than 163 participants (54%) more than half are still large volumes of data-based initiatives as part of Hadoop to use or evaluation of the "Management Hadoop and information," according to a new report from the data Ventana Research benchmark from a large number of previously could not have done more desire to analyze data and analysis. However, this first wave of enthusiasm, despite the tools relatively immature and real-time analytics Hadoop only a handful of packages designed to protect users from the complexity of the source technology is available today to open it.

New technologies for data storage professionals is a challenge, however, the analysis of large data move to a real problem for companies that want to do more important for the ability to move or risk losing the business high volume.

"Skin that has been around for a long time, but rather much more," he Yvonne Genovese, vice president and analyst at Gartner, said. Information and knowledge to turn data into action and the directors of data storage can really make his mark, he said.

School Data Security Leak to ignore the Password Policy

A case manager Hampshire student school system submitted to a complete and thousands of staff was forced to apologize after the seizure.

Bay House School in Gosport in the March attack, the Information Commissioner Office (ICO) and the school will be reported immediately to implement their own policies better now initiate a public security company.

The statement, the ICO some 20,000 people, including approximately 7600 students, personal information was compromised in an attack on the website of the school, he said. The files that are under threat, as well as information on medical students, parents and teachers to include information on.

A staff member of the school using the same password to access the Internet and data management systems, because according to the ICO, the attack is made easy. The staff, after the discovery of the password, time away from piracy Web site was hosted by the school administration of the student was able to access their systems. Avoid using passwords that repetition of the school said the staff recommendation, but the policy does not apply.

Ian Potter, head of school, "students of the school, including at least one of the hackers," saying he is responsible, considered a violation, and issued a statement on the website of the ICO.

Potter and the "sensitive and confidential information, a separate code and information data management treatment based on the identity and contact information, the system" and pledged that it will be the necessary training of staff must be aware and Password Policy. The school is also an annual penetration test.

David Emm, Kaspersky Lab researcher added security, the situation is more properly applied to the need for Security Policy Password and highlights the need to prevent the same password for different systems, he says, but it is difficult to accept that users of this complex and mixed letters lowercase letters, numbers and special characters, especially the many I remember the password. "But I have a solution," he said. "An administrator password of the application, for example, sheltered behind a single password to create and remember passwords and stores. On the other hand, people in all basic, easy to remember and use the password for each account to some of the rules. "

Peter Wood, director of the Computer has agreed to Brighton in the First Floor Council. "Password again become a big problem," he said. "Database Password LulzSec anonymous friends and took some great hacks on the back of this issue has been published to understand."

Easier for users to remember passwords with three or four words to protect the defenders of the use of a program manager password, but more difficult to break.

Penetration testing of wood, vulnerability is a weakness of common passwords, he said. "We have very large customer of a small six-digit password. So what will happen to change the effect of the length of time and do not know what services were used because they did not dare change a system that had, "he said. Another common source of where the security services account deficit, for example, the password 'backup' backup service will be added.

Nexsan NAS own line, E5000 Platform Weaves

Nexsan Corporation, Network Attached Storage (NAS) is given on another occasion. Today and spread the supplier to improve performance of software caching, a file with the IP provider and solid state drives (SSD) has launched a range of uses Nexsan NAS E5000 platform.

Nexsan NAS went on the road with its partners in the past. In 2008, the Windows Unified Data Storage Server (WUDSS), a manufacturer of storage devices connected to a NAS gateway (called Edge) published. The channel package for low-end NAS head and ONStor storage Nexsan joined the meeting.

This time, Nexsan NAS E5000 M-series to set up their own Assureon CAS (Content Addressable Storage) technology-based and block Using Series arrays.

"This is the first NAS product for control of the stack. We must rely on the vision of someone in the roadmap," Gary Watson, Nexsan founder and Chief Technology Officer said. "This is the beginning of the family. I have a roadmap in front of us."

The roadmap includes a unified storage, Nexsan NAS E5110 E5310 and models, but there are now. Both use the SSD cache FASTI Nexsan D / S applications, improves the performance of workloads.

FASTtier SSD cache, such as reading and DRAM PCI card, single-level cell (SLC) and the company multi-level cell (eMLC) flashes. Write support multi-technology

E5000 systems support for CIFS and NFS. Nexsan except to say that the elements of Unix administrators, there was more information on the file system. "We Assureon Series E and technology base for us to create products that people say, but we want the freedom to make the cover of" Don Chouinard, Nexsan, director of product marketing.

3U or 6U configuration E5110 8 TB 62 TB capacity with 100 GB SSD option comes with a couple of checks and balances. This controller by two Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and two optional 10-GbE controller with up to 31 discs on a platform for expansion there.

3U dual controller model 5310 with a capacity of 9 TB 720 TB cache scales up to 1.5 TB FASTI. 18 to 240 discs. Device, E18, and SATA, 7200 rpm SAS 15,000 RPM SAS supports the E60 NL-block can be extended with Nexsan storage arrays. 5310 four GbE ports per controller, and includes two optional 10 GbE.

E5310's price band to $ 82,000 $ 183,000 depending on the combination of E18 and E60 expansion rack while the E5110 price is listed as $ 15 000.

E5000 preparation for the functions of the software online, pictures, less the amount of replication and includes the Active Directory and LDAP integration.

Watson FASTI virtualized server environments, I / O is optimized to handle applications, he said. "FAST media helps a lot faster," he VMware and Hyper-V applications, and the effect of being a random mixture of the cache in a blender, the workload of the SSD has a faster”, he said. "

E5000 model, operating system, hard to read-only memory (ROM) because it is the Terri McClure, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, as the memory controller in the operating system. This speeds up the opening, and other system functions and performance, reliability and help to implement caching for the SSD sense.

McClure, E-Management Center graphical user interface, compared to Apple. Swimming, photography, volume management, asynchronous replication and high availability using clustering wizards help you create a graphical user interface.

"I grew up with this Apple product will appeal to a new generation of storage administrators," he said. "At the same time, a storage manager is not necessarily good for small businesses and medium enterprises ".

Microsoft Patch Tuesday: Internet Explorer critical updates to Windows DNS

Microsoft Internet Explorer and Windows DNS server, including the fundamental changes affecting two to 13 security bulletins, patching 22 vulnerabilities published throughout the product line.

Fewer updates during the very busy month for system administrators as Microsoft is still marked in August released this month. Adobe Systems Inc. publishes a monthly cycle sets, with seven players Shockwave Flash Player with more than a dozen holes and repair defects in a bug in Flash, on Tuesday night released a security update critical for Media Server.

Two zero-day vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet Explorer flaws, including seven in the vehicle. MS11-057, according to Microsoft, an attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities, it can have the same rights as the local user. Microsoft, Internet Explorer uses a specially crafted Web page showing the most severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution he said.

IE flaws affect all versions of Internet Explorer, including nine as well. Updated IE handles JavaScript handles objects in memory and drivers resolves the errors. For most organizations, the IE update will be applied automatically.

Jason Miller, director of research and development, Shavlik Technologies, VMware, IE and Windows DNS error failures allows cyber criminals to attack a remote system, he said. In the case of a deficit, "the wild, it is important to know as soon as possible," said Miller.

Patch Managers must also address the vulnerabilities on the server side. MS11-058, Windows DNS server resolves two security vulnerabilities. Defects affect a customer request to a DNS server instead of server-side. The relay of the company's DNS server DNS cache is enabled, the system is at risk. Otherwise, the DNS feature is not enabled; users are not at risk, but to be on the safe side not to distribute the said Miller.

Vulnerability in Remote Desktop Protocol from another bulletin MS11-065 stands. The security bulletin was considered important to users of Windows Server 2003; Microsoft said Miller had seen the attacks on the nature of the failure. An attacker can crash the computer system of the victim sends a connection request to a Remote Desktop Protocol malicious fault may become a target.

All security bulletins summarizing the details are available on the Microsoft Security Response Center blog.

Cloud BI and Analytics: Should the cloud be in your BI forecast?

The cost of this technology and the complexity of business intelligence (BI) and analysis programs that have the potential to reduce both the proponents of cloud computing. Grants Pass, Oregon, at the end of July, the Pacific Northwest BI Summit in 2011, with the participation of experts in business intelligence managers, and providers of cloud computing, cloud the debate focused on organizations users, taking advantage of technology - and it seemed to respond.

Some companies may help analysts quickly with limited IT support that can perform a technology service (SaaS) business intelligence and analysis, using the software. Some stores data analysis virtual analysts, project, or to search for Hadoop MapReduce and experience to offer cloud services and cloud data. And some companies, security fears, the hidden cost and complexity have hindered side to be cautious. The words of one participant, the participants of the summit, agreed that the cloud and SaaS BI vendors, "-. There is a kind of rebound along the fast-growing, but is out of business”

This video series Q & A, Bi and IT professionals, BI cloud of potential investments, weight, other entities and their business intelligence and analysis programs as part of experts on how to use cloud technologies will have an overview of potential problems and take into account the initial BI and cloud patterns, as well as recommendations for the idea.
