Keeping Your Wireless Email Connected
Wireless e-mail might arguably be the greatest enhancement to employee
productivity since the cell phone, enabling employees to keep up with e-mail
when traveling. It is more important than ever to ensure that messaging systems
and wireless e-mail services are protected from disasters and other outages.
When recoverability matters, depend on Double-Take Software to protect and
recover business critical data and applications.

Opinion: What Web 2.0 is (and isn't)
Web 2.0 includes Infrastructure 2.0, which includes Storage 2.0, Server 2.0 and
Networking 2.0. Everything 2.0. Most of where we are in all this is Version 1.5
at best -- and mostly 1.0. True value of this whole 2.0 phenomenon won't be
realized until Company X is creating new exciting bonds with its constituencies
via Web 2.0 initiatives and making decisions based upon the intelligence
derived from their Information 2.0 architecture.

Living-room hard drives
The $200, 500GB My Library Video Edition uses a fast eSATA connection but has a
slow seek time so that it delivers data just in time, thereby reducing power
consumption and noise.

Shark Bait today:
Catch phrases
It's no secret that IT folks have a lingo all their own. So it would follow
that our colloquialisms are just as unique. Here's the background story on one
of my favorites: It was the time of the month for my boss to wig over some
small issue; ripping his hair out of his scalp, quite literally ...

RocketRAID card supports up to 20 drives
HighPoint's RocketRAID 2314MS features a single external mini-Serial Attached
SCSI interface that can connect up to four SATA II hard drives on its own. But
combined with port multipliers, you can connect a total of 20 hard drives.

Technology Briefing: A Great Leap Forward in Storage for the SMB
When it comes to storage systems, small and medium-sized businesses have had
their share of challenges. Even when some storage vendors have tried to address
the unique needs of the SMBs, it has been with underpowered versions of their
enterprise-class products. The advent of unified network storage, exemplified
by the DellTM PowerVaultTM NX1950, has dramatically altered the SMB landscape
by combining iSCSI and NAS capabilities in a single, highly functional package
that delivers simplified management and enhanced scalability at a
cost-efficient price point. Learn more in this new technology briefing,
available for a limited time.

Robbers even prefer Blu-ray over HD DVD
Thieves who broke into a video store in Seattle walked off with more than
$7,000 worth ofBlu-ray DVD movies, according to a story in the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer newspaper. In all, the crooks got away with Silver Platters'
entire Blu-ray movie section -- about 200 discs. Now, there are a few ironies
surrounding this story:

Conversion is NOT preservation!
There have been many articles that improperly indicate that the scanning of
paper documents represents preservation of information, one of the most recent
ones is here. While there is some truth to the fact that conversion, scanning,
image capture, or however its described is PART of a preservation strategy, it
does not on its own represent preservation.
