by Francis Lee July 20, 2010 Converged Communications

I’m one of the fortunate few who was given VIP access to get to see what goes on behind the scene in creating a ‘Smart and Connected Community’ or S+CC in short. For those who have yet to visit the Cisco Pavilion, here is a summary of what you can see at the US$45million facility. [...]

There are two types of companies in the world

by Eric Svetcov July 8, 2010 Managed Services

Those that have been breached and those that will be. The reality is that no security solution is foolproof. Even the most technologically advanced solutions with detailed procedural controls can be circumvented by a determined individual or group of individuals. And when that occurs, it is necessary to be prepared to clean-up the breach and [...]

Storage Virtualization – Choosing the right approach

by Francis Lee July 1, 2010 Data Centre Solutions

A friend of mine, who’s a CIO of a media company came to me the other day (at a StarTrek convention), asking me about all the hype he’s been hearing with regards to Storage Virtualization, and how it can help save his company’s money, save power, save space, and short of saving the world, save [...]

The making of a Video Case Study – Ascendas China

by Tng Szu Lin June 29, 2010 Converged Communications

To the holy grail of arguably the most effective sales tool in the world, I produced my very first, professional video case study… and I was lucky. Very lucky. Tannia, whom I recruited to assist me on Shanghai Expo, happens to be an ex-Ascendas staff. Through her connections, we got in touch with the people at [...]

Implementing Server Virtualization Frameworks

by Kelvin Chin June 21, 2010 Data Centre Solutions

Last week, I spoke at the Operational Excellence summit on implementing server virtualisation frameworks. An age old topic where it was only in the last 12 months that the market has seen server virtualization move forward towards mainstream adoption.

My Digital City – A user profile

by Nick Boag June 15, 2010 Converged Communications

Imagine a world where all devices are intelligent. Where your fridge can order your groceries, where your power network can tell you when you have exceeded a set amount of consumption, where your car will tell you and your mechanic it needs attention before the oil leak starts lapping at your rear bumper. Imagine a [...]

Virtualisation for pain-free disaster recovery

by Andy Cocks June 3, 2010 Data Centre Solutions

Hear the word disaster-recovery and typical IT teams would let out a collective groan. With virtualisation, it need not be difficult actually. Indeed it could make disaster recovery a cinch. Server consolidation, cost savings and risk mitigation are among the key benefits of virtualised environments. In the wake of global pandemics, natural disasters and the [...]

Non-functional requirements

by Eric Svetcov June 3, 2010 Security

I was going through a few different RFPs (Request for Proposal) and was again struck by the complete lack of non-functional requirements embedded within most RFPs. The descriptions of desired functional requirements are all there in excruciating detail; however, there are no specifications for information security (beyond a statement in one RFP that security is [...]

But governments too are looking to exercise greater control over many aspects of commerce, production and corporate life, leaving organisations even less leeway to manoeuvre. The [...]
