Quantum bringing public cloud into virtual storage fold
Data management specialist Quantum wants to make it easier for enterprises to combine two of the major trends in storage: virtualization and public clouds.Over the coming months, the company plans to launch cloud services that will extend its StorNext 5 data management platform so customers can take advantage of public-cloud storage without changing their hardware or software.Though based on Amazon Web Services, Quantum's Q-Cloud Archive and Q-Cloud Vault will be managed by Quantum and will use the company's own automated, policy-based system for moving data across tiers of storage. As with StorNext systems within an enterprise, the cloud services will fall under a single namespace so applications can continue to find necessary files wherever they may be, the company says.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

8 Cisco partners you probably don't know, but should
Last week, Cisco held its European edition of its user conference, Cisco Live, in Milan, Italy. The Live conference is a great place for Cisco customers to learn about the latest and greatest Cisco technology. However, the show also provides a venue for Cisco's technology partners to strut their own stuff on the "World of Solutions" show floor. This year's conference was the first European event to have a dedicated DevNet Zone for developer partners to showcase their solutions as well.Cisco's partner community is very large and includes a bunch of tech vendors that everyone knows, including EMC, F5, and Network Appliance. However, the show also includes a number of smaller vendors that many may not have heard of. Also, being a European-based event, the show was home to a number of companies that don't cross the radar of U.S.-based businesses. I spent a good amount of time on the show floor, and below are eight companies I felt that Cisco customers should know about but probably do not.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

  A longtime Buzzblog reader, who prefers to remain anonymous, sent me this in an email a few days ago:"I just opened an HP LaserJet M401dne.  It came with a note stating that Smart Install was disabled, and pointed me to www.hp.com/go/SmartInstall."The bad news, delivered in 30 different languages, was the "top sheet (of paper) as I found it out of the box," says this IT manager.At the HP link we are told: Smart Install is a technology developed by HP that was designed to simplify printer software installation. Due to the difficulty in upgrading the Smart Install software files on the printer, HP has disabled the Smart Install option and recommends downloading and installing the software from HP's support Web site for the most current software for your printer.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
