TODAY'S TOP STORY
- NRF Big Show 2011: Breakthrough Technologies For Retailing
The National Retail Federation's "Big Show" in New York highlighted scores of cutting-edge retail technologies, from mobile devices and digital signage to point-of-sale systems and store-management applications. Tablet computers were everywhere, of course, though more often featured as a raffle prize designed to draw booth visitors and gather business card leads. Several exhibitors demonstrated iPad-native "clienteling" apps designed to help salespeople demonstrate and explain complicated (or out-of-stock) products. There were plenty of conventional point-of-sale terminals on display, but with smart phones quickly gaining broad use, many retailers and retail technology suppliers are developing apps and peripherals designed to work with iPhones, Android devices, and other mobile platforms.

- Network Error Disables Fire Department
By Howard Marks
I try not to use this blog simply to indulge in schadenfreude, but I just couldn't resist when I found that the Tokyo Fire Department's emergency call center was down for over four hours on Jan. 5 due to a network error that a few lines in the switch config file could have prevented.

- Bring-Your-Own Laptop Won't Help VDI
By Mike Fratto, Editor
When I made my 2011 predictions, I didn't hold out much hope for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). I don't think that the upsides in moving to VDI--fast ROI, reduction in operations expenses, security enhancements, etc.--are enough for IT shops to change what they are doing. And I mean any type of VDI, from the traditional remote desktop that Citrix and Microsoft have offered for years to the newer VDI products that run as virtual machines on a desktop or off removable media, some of which we reviewed in 2009. One of the drivers, as Forrester Analyst Andre Kindness notes on Twitter, is that bring-your-own computer is forcing companies to VDI. I disagree, not because you can't use VDI in that situation--if you are going to support bring-your-own laptop, then VDI would be preferred for company apps--but because the costs associated with supporting bring-your-own laptop and transitioning to VDI for most companies are too high compared with the organizational benefit that would be gained.

- More on Advanced Erasure Codes
By Howard Marks
As we've previously discussed in "What Comes After RAID? Erasure Codes," forward error correction coding is a leading contender to replace parity RAID as disk hardware evolves past the point where parity provides effective protection. The question remains: Are Reed-Solomon and related coding techniques the inevitable replacement for parity in the RAID systems of the future?
