- Amplidata Builds "Unbreakable" Storage
By Howard Marks
While I stand by my position that we put too much of the responsibility for keeping our data safe for the long term on storage systems, as I wrote in Long Term Retention:It's More Than Media, I also believe that you bet on different horses for different courses. Startup Amplidata's new AmpliStor system has most of the features on my wish list for storing large data objects like medical images or rich media.

- Wherever You Go, There You Are
By Lee H. Badman
Location-based services are big business. People are simply fascinated with knowing where they are, and the precision available today to the location-curious among us is nothing short of amazing. Whether leveraging the GPS constellation of satellites 12,000 miles above us, or using Wi-Fi access points to put users on a floor plan, location services are fun and fascinating. At a recent training seminar, I was treated to the backstory of an interesting location app used at the famous American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City. Though this application is hardly the only one of it's kind, it does impress with it's scope and purpose, and reminds us what is possible when wireless access points are asked to triangulate and play the part of "indoor GPS".

- Putting Controller Based Networks Security Risks In Context
By Mike Fratto, Editor
OpenFlow is starting to gain some buzz in the industry, with a demonstration at the upcoming Interop show in Las Vegas and vendors starting to adopt the protocol. However, as others begin to learn about OpenFlow and controller based networking, complaints about single points of failure and single target of attack get fired off in an almost knee jerk reaction. Let's stop and take a breath. Single points of failure and single points of attack are common issues in networking and, frankly, have been dealt with in many ways. These objections are non-issues.

- Private Clouds For Development: Exposing and Solving the Self Service Gap
This webinar will present a blueprint for creating private development clouds that enables IT to provide infrastructure as a service to developers. With an emphasis on build-test-deploy tasks, we will show how task and workflow automation, resource management, and tool integrations allow development teams to effectively use a private cloud infrastructure and run these tasks in a shared environment.
