Computerworld 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 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.

TODAY'S TOP STORY

Budgeting for acquisitions

September means the weather starts to cool down just as the budget
process starts to heat up. While you may not be worried about acquiring
companies yourself, how does your budget process handle the likely event
of a major supplier buying another supplier? Or worse, what if a major
supplier gobbles a company you have rejected in the past as a supplier?

WINDOWS TIP
___________

Rebuilding the Outlook search index

If you're using Outlook 2007, and searching for a contact in the Outlook
Contacts list, and coming up empty, try rebuilding the index on your
machine. It worked for me. Here's how.

Teen trades hacked iPhone for sports car, more iPhones

Everybody knew that George Hotz, the 17-year-old who managed to unlock
an Apple iPhone so it could be used with carriers other than AT&T would
do well for himself, but did anyone guess he'd do so well, so quickly?
He traded the unlocked iPhone for a $38,000 Nissan 350Z - and, in case
he regretted giving up the phone, he got three more of them to boot.

The Pervasive Network Access Voyage

This white paper by analyst Jon Oltsik from the Enterprise Strategy
Group (ESG) describes the multitude of benefits associated with
providing network access to various users in the distributed enterprise.
However, this access comes with a price. The more endpoints and users
that access the network, the more dangerous the network neighborhood
becomes. Somehow, enterprises must strike a balance between network
access and security for internal and external users as soon as possible.
