Having reaped savings and performance gains from server virtualization, many IT leaders are weighing whether desktop virtualization can bring the same payday. But that brings in a new wild card: Whether virtualized desktops can deliver the experience that demanding end users expect, from interactivity to personalization to mobility. Our moderator, Randy George, brings perspective on a business-IT strategy perspective, and also the practical point of view from having recently tested a spectrum of virtual desktop infrastructure software.

The Obama administration came in with a promise of openness, and faith that Web technology will help deliver it. In this Webinar, we’ll discuss where in the federal bureaucracy technology has the potential to drive openness. We’ll examine the various Websites already in use or being developed, like Recovery.gov and Data.gov, to see how they’re contributing to openness. We’ll draw on discussions with federal IT leaders for insight into how these and other transparency efforts are going. We’ll also look at what’s standing in the way of expanding openness, where technology isn’t helping, and what the future likely holds.

Cloud computing is coming to a data center near you. The savings that can be gained by outsourcing processing to a cloud service, combined with the ability to quickly scale to meet demand, are compelling. But before you consider cloud computing, you first have to consider the changes that will take place within your own organization and the requirements a cloud provider will need to meet in order to provide a secure and reliable service. In this Webcast, we will discuss the governance issues surrounding cloud computing and its impact on the organization.

Internet2 today provides a nationwide, high-performance, 100-Gbit/s network to nearly 300 member organizations (including 43 corporate members) and more than 50,000 research and education institutions including colleges, high schools, museums, and libraries across the United States. Webinar participants from the Internet2 consortium will discuss a host of new technologies and cutting-edge applications that have been developed on the Internet2 test bed network. This includes the Internet2’s Dynamic Circuit Network (DCN) switching service that creates short-term circuits between end-users that require dedicated bandwidth, which will be especially useful for organizations building cloud computing applications, or who need to make more efficient use of resources by controlling their own traffic patterns and having a dedicated environment that is under their control.

Arms merchant or army? That's a fundamental question for vendors in the cloud computing space. Do they just sell their tooling to any and all comers, who then become the actual purveyors of hosted infrastructure, developer platforms, and software? Or do they offer their own cloud-based services, perhaps even keeping much of their technology in-house for competitive advantage?

Marketers are known for exaggerated claims and stretching the truth just a wee bit. But most marketers I know truly believe in what they sell. Their aggressiveness is based on a confidence that what they are promoting truly benefits the customer.

Total Telephony Transcends Telepresence

11|20|09   |   2:11   |   2 comments


The problem with telepresence is that it's not universally accepted, because video calling isn't. While we can all do video calling, we also apparently worry too much about how we look. If we want HD telepresence in our future, we have to dress down, mess up our hair, and dive into our online life.

America Has Much to Learn About Digital Piracy

11|18|09   |   2:09   |   No comments


The US loses about $20 billion a year on pirated software, movies, and music. But public policy can help stem the tide of digital theft. For example, France has recently passed a 'three strikes and you’re out' law, whereby if after two warning letters an individual continues to download pirated software then his Internet access will be cut off. US policy makers should consider adopting similar policies.
