According to industry analysts, email volume in organizations is growing by more than 30% annually, and the average user receives 7MB of data per day via email. As a result of this growth, the handling of email has become a critical business, IT and regulatory issue – driving
the need for email archiving solutions. Most organizations looking for an email archiving solution are motivated by four reasons: mailbox/server management, compliance/records retention, eDiscovery/litigation support, and knowledge management/IP protection. In addition to these challenges, IT departments want to know how to control costs of the email environment, while keeping important data accessible for business, legal and regulatory users.

Butler Group Technology Report

IGEL Technology Ltd

IGEL Technology, one of the world’s top five thin client vendors, has delivered a new range of Universal Desktop devices. Its thin client devices are aimed at small, medium, and large organisations across all verticals and address both the issues associated with traditional PCs, and the opportunities offered by digital services and desktop virtualisation. IGEL’s new Universal Desktop devices and Universal Management Suite offer a good range of hardware functionality and management controls, supporting the full spectrum of digital services using a variety of connection methods. Of particular note is IGEL’s introduction of a Universal Firmware Concept, whereby just one firmware image per operating system is available across all hardware platforms and Entry, Standard, and Advanced digital service ‘packs’ can be unlocked during manufacture. In Butler Group’s opinion, IGEL’s solution would benefit any organisation that wants to reduce its power consumption (and associated carbon footprint), consolidate desktop devices (remove the need for telephones, for example), and reduce the overall management overhead of desktop device provision.

However, once the basic IPC foundation is set, there are many additional applications that can leverage this converged IP network even more fully. Quantifying the real productivity gains of these relatively new value-added Unified Communications technologies is difficult, yet if armed with such information, potential adopters could make a far more comprehensive ROI justification for their planned deployments. One source of such information is Based on a survey of 244 small, medium, and large organisations presently using or planning to deploy Unified Communications applications, this paper outlines both the challenges that those applications address and the actual benefits that current adopters experience.

Cloud Ready Network Architecture

BLADE Network Technologies

Cloud computing seems to have as many definitions as there are clouds in the sky, however its
impact on today’s data centers is undeniable. Public clouds allow fast moving companies to
outsource compute and storage on a pay-as-you-go basis, but it is private clouds that we’d like to
discuss in this paper. Simply stated, private clouds describe an architecture in which the servers and networks in the data center can rapidly respond to changing demands, by quickly scaling compute capacity and connecting that server capacity where it is needed. The technology underlying this fluidity is server virtualization, which by now has been established as a reliable and essential core technology for most data centers.

Consequently, what starts out as a five-minute login process turns into a half hour break at the beginning of the workday. The results of this undesired ritual are a distracted body of employees, hours of unproductive behavior, and a computing environment that is not functioning optimally.

Given these consequences, reliability is a key data centre attribute. Another is flexibility. Tomorrow’s requirements may not be the same as today’s.

This situation puts a heavy load on information systems, and notably on the data center. An organization can only be as flexible as its information system. That's a real challenge for the monolithic systems and disparate applications of the past. Freeing up heterogeneous IT environments constructed in 'silos', in readiness to
meet tomorrow's needs, is becoming a fundamental challenge.

Businesses nowadays face many pressures to provide, implement and manage best practice solutions to leverage optimal value within the business.Whether a business is a Tier 1Global player
or Tier 4 regional business, the pressures remain the same. In order to apply these industry best practices, many businesses have invested in Best of Breed IT solutions, which, often demand to be implemented on separate physical servers and disk arrays, because they either run on different operating platforms, or they demand exclusive processor or disk usage. The result, though not the business’ fault, is a disparate array of servers, disks and operating systems across single or multiple locations which give rise to increasing IT and IT infrastructure management issues and (ever spiraling proportionate costs).

Abstract: Having a disaster recovery (DR) plan is mandatory. Most organizations recognize this— particularly those that have learned this the hard way, when a disaster caught them unprepared. DR procedures have always been complicated for the physical server infrastructure, and the introduction of server virtualization has only made matters worse. VMware created vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM) to streamline virtual server DR, but physical infrastructure DR procedures have remained difficult and time-consuming. The FalconStor® Network Storage Server (NSS) solution can be deployed in conjunction with VMware vCenter SRM to empower VMware vCenter SRM to automate and manage the DR process for the entire physical and virtual infrastructure. This unique implementation dramatically speeds failover and reduces costs while ensuring achievement of recovery time objectives (RTO).

Desktop virtualisation offers considerable operational benefits and potential cost savings. In spite of this most organisations are still deploying full desktop PCs with locally installed OS and applications for the majority of their users. This is normally due to historical practice, and is where the skills and knowledge of their in house staff are. With most organisations having bypassed Vista, the majority of installed desktops are still on Windows XP, which Microsoft stops supporting in mid 2011. Windows 7 is now here and stable, and there are numerous new and emerging options available which promise better flexibility, management and potential cost savings. What should you be considering?

Executive Summary
Data centers are undergoing monumental paradigm shifts. Servers and more importantly the services they provide are expected to be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by design. Enterprise data centers previously adapted to this change by following the rule that more is better and redundant configurations never hurt. However, as demand for greater processing continues to outstrip available floor space, rack space, power and air-conditioning, the market has turned to virtualization to efficiently use the resources available. It has long been recognized that most systems spend their time in idle states. For any physical computing platform, the bulk of the processing resources are underutilized. Attempts to solve this inefficiency problem resulted in experiments with virtualization as far back as the 1960s. Mainframe processors were running multiple images of virtual machines which could be made active when resources were required and placed in the background when idle. Virtualization technology has since been adapted to personal computer and server platforms. Multiple virtual machines (VMs) can be created in a single physical platform greatly increasing the efficiency of the data centers by enabling more work from less hardware. As the workload on the physical servers increases VMs can be migrated to available servers to ensure that service level agreements and response times are met. When workloads decrease, the VMs can be migrated for consolidation to fewer servers and allow the unused servers to be powered down to save energy and cost. Virtualization can also improve the availability of applications, because Virtual Machines can quickly be restarted on new hardware when physical servers fail. VMs can be simply migrated ahead of time when servers need to be shut down for service or upgrades. To truly exploit the benefits of server virtualization, data centers need to enable the dynamic and automatic movement of Virtual Machines while protecting their security and maintaining accessibility. Current networking switches are not aware of Virtual Machines and this creates security and availability issues for both server and network administrators as they try to fully exploit the value of virtualization and manage this new environment. To further the virtualization evolution, network vendors need to provide products that:

- Are Virtual Machine aware Provide network configurations at a Virtual Port level, rather than just at the physical port
- Track the mobility of Virtual Machines across data centers and into the cloud
- Automatically reconfigure the network as Virtual Machines move

Today, BLADE Network Technologies (BLADE) offers these abilities. With VMready™, switches from BLADE can:

- Recognize individual virtual machines within physical servers
- Support all leading hypervisor vendors, such as: VMware, Microsoft, Citrix and Red Hat
- Assign unique operating, security and quality of service characteristics for each VM
- Fully integrate with hypervisor managers such as VMware‟s vCenter to enforce the same networking policy in physical switches and vSwitches
- Recognize when Virtual Machines are created and migrated
- Move the network policies in real-time to the new locations to ensure that Virtual Machines stay available and secure as they migrate

Jeff Spencer of Bull Information Systems maintains that virtualisation is just the start of a journey to wider ICT energy saving initiatives. With energy costs spirllaing and action needed to protect the environment, controlling the electricity consumption of the data centre is becoming an essential challenge for all kinds of businesses and their IT Departments. To address this, many IT Managers have embarked upon rationalising UNIX and commodity x86 servers through virtualisation.

Many IT organisations are, to varying degrees, implementing VMware technology to create multiple virtual servers on selected physical servers. Use of these virtual servers provides a variety of benefits – including reduced capital spending on hardware, reduced demands on power and cooling capacity, and more flexible allocation of processing capacity.

This article discusses tools and approaches that can be used to both overcome the limitations of VMware’s tools and also to manage the complexity within a partially virtualised data centre, concluding that these approaches will also enable virtualisation to be more broadly deployed.

A low-cost process in which discrete semiconductor chips are flip-attached by thermocompression bonding to 30-micron-diameter gold bumps on fine-featured passive integrated circuits was employed in the fabrication of diode harmonic mixers for use over the 71-76GHz and 81-86 GHz ranges. Incorporated in the substrate were high- precision grounded heat sinks, semi-lumped filters, and matching networks in low-loss microstrip format. Measurements demonstrate an upconversion loss minimum of 6 dB and downconversion loss minimum of 8 dB respectively. The performance is attributable to the high cutoff frequency of the discrete diodes and the low loss of the passive circuitry.

Bull places energy performance at the heart of its strategy: the Bio Data Center was introduced in 2007 with the three-fold target of reducing energy consumption and the carbon footprint, optimizing topology and ensuring high service levels within the Data Center. Distributed and poorly utilized servers are power hogs in your Datacenter. Three- to five-year old servers can easily draw up to 600W. The technology used by these machines was not power optimized and led to high energy consumption even when running in idle mode.
novascale bullion is built on an architecture designed from the ground up to provide optimized virtualization and energy saving capabilities. Today novascale bullion servers, which play a major role in the Bio Data Center, become a cornerstone of Bull’s green strategy.

The struggle to manage escalating data capacities, high availability, and increasing performance requirements will not stop, even in a slow-growth economy. Organisations from Small-to-Medium Businesses (SMBs), midrange environments to remote sites all experience these challenges, which are often parallel to the needs that have existed for many years for
large enterprises. However, for SMBs, unlike the enterprise, these challenges must be met with minimal cost and complexity.

Interest in solid-state storage has grown
rapidly; however, the biggest issue holding
back solid-state storage in general
purpose servers today is that enterprise class
drives cost at least 10 times as
much as conventional hard drives from
a price-per-GB perspective. Capitalising
on the performance advantages of
solid state drives (SSDs) as well as the
cost and capacity advantage of SATA
and SAS drives, CacheCade software
is designed to allow a server’s existing
drive volume to utilise SSD technology
as a secondary tier of cache to maximise
random read performance.

Whether it is sensitive customer information, intellectual property or proprietary data that
helps a company reach its strategic objectives, a company’s data may be its most valuable
asset. If this data is misplaced or stolen, organisations run the risk of lost revenue, legal
implications, and a tarnished reputation. The unfortunate truth is that an organisation’s

Virtualization has developed at an impressive pace over the past few years, progressing rapidly within Data Centers.
However, until now, virtualization has been limited to infrastructure applications that are relatively simple to virtualize and critical applications, on which the enterprise production relies, are all but excluded from the virtual world.
This is due to the fact that the first generations of virtualization did not meet the requirements of critical applications and their intensive use of resources.
Technical developments in virtualization and a shift in the attitude of application publishers mean that today, all the conditions have been fulfilled to enable virtualization of the Data Center as a whole, including the enterprise critical applications.
novascale bullion, with its reliability, scalability and energy efficiency features, is the ideal platform for this new virtualization momentum.
The Bull services associated with this new platform will simplify its deployment, while meeting its demands in terms of operation and security.

Today, printing from a PC to a network printer using a print server is the most common office scenario. In order to ensure smooth printer mapping, printer drivers are required on each PC which is both costly and time-consuming. ThinPrint’s goal is to provide administrators with an efficient and convenient solution for central deployment and maintenance of printer drivers.
ThinPrint .print V-Layer Basic, is based on the leading print solution technology, ThinPrint .print. With a simple click, administrators can transform the original printers into V-Layer printers. This eliminates the need to install printer drivers on PCs, as now all drivers are located only on the print server (and no longer the PCs), making it tailor-made for traditional networks.
