Saving Money by means of Unified Communications Technology

March 12, 2009

Microsoft Links Phone, Video to Office | www.newsvine.com

Business communication technology is constantly evolving as employees seek better ways to find the information they need and reach customers faster. Unified Communications (UC) solution extends the capabilities of your existing IP network to include sophisticated telephony, messaging and conferencing features, The advantages of UC include some cost savings, but most of your ROI (Return on Investment) will be realized through business process improvements, such asgreater employee productivity, faster contact among employees and more efficient collaboration. The UC market is still immature,and vendors jumped into it just in 2007. Even though UC is a relatively new technology, it is gaining ground quickly with enterprises.

Market prospects for Mobile Internet Devices

March 9, 2009

Intel vs. Qualcomm | www.businessweek.com

Mobile Internet devices (MIDs) could be the wave of the future. The MID market is clearly up against challenges, especially for those devices that focus on basic computing rather than a specific app. Chipset and mobile broadband providers are rallying behind the opportunity, but it may take some convincing for the rest of the market to find the value in the middle.

Opportunity to capture "long-tail" markets by means of Mobile Internet technologies

March 3, 2009

WiMAX Vs. LTE | www.rcrwireless.com

What some people call 4G networks, the Mobile Internet technologies LTE (Long-Term Evolution) and WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) are about providing broadband on-the-go. WiMAX is ideal for areas that lack a broadband infrastructure, because it gives a very good business case, as opposed to having to dig cables in the ground, which is what's required by the fiber technologies. LTE is very similar to WiMAX but with a larger bandwidth.

Notes on Electronics Perspective

December 18, 2008

Surge in sales of LED-backlit notebook PCs | compoundsemiconductor.net

Electronics tend to do well in a slow economy. At the consumer level, people tend to cocoon in their homes when times are tough. Instead of going away on vacation, or going out for entertainment, they tend to buy electronics. At the business level, sure there will be a pullback in spending on high-end servers, but even in recessions, businesses tend to buy computers and peripherals, and networking hardware to improve efficiency and boost productivity.

Market Positioning of the Solar Energy Industry in Europe

November 5, 2008

GE Gives Jolt to Solar Power Pioneer Soliant | www.businesswire.com

Solar cell technology is an example where Europe can defend or increase its market share. Solar cell technology was never going to be ignored by the European Commission because it fits into its environmental theme. This means that it benefits from a concerted and organized system of funding. Until recently, this did not exist for the photonics industry and it is the photonics areas that do not overlap with other industries that have suffered.

Good News about Economy Crisis of the Century

September 29, 2008

Will future historians write about the Great Depression of the 2000s as they did about the one in the 1930s? | www.iht.com

Actual financial shock of the Wall Street will initially have bigger impact on Asia and Europe then on US itself, but on the long run it might set back the US economy to stagnation that could last 10-15 years. Nevertheless, there's still a place for good news and hope in this situation.

New revenue opportunities for Converged Ethernet Transport

September 17, 2008

And Now Google Is Making Its Own 10-Gigabit Switches | gigaom.com

The tremendous growth of IP traffic represents some exciting new revenue opportunities for service providers worldwide, but places significant capital and operational strains on networks carrying those services. As a result, many transport networks must transition from circuit- to packet-optimized architectures. Service providers — already having made significant investments in service edge and core networks using IP/Multi-Protocol Label Switching (IP/MPLS) routing equipment to support IP and Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) — are now focusing on the access and metro networks. Ethernet has emerged as the leading technology to support this evolution.

Transitioning to Lower-Cost Ethernet Backhaul

September 12, 2008

Seybold: Intel's WiMAX Exit Strategy? | www.fiercewireless.com

What most operators have been doing in the early phases of deploying EV-DO or HSDPA is to provision additional T1/E1s, either over their own microwave infrastructure or by spending more on leasing T1/E1 services from a wireline service provider. The last two to threeyears have seen most 3G operators spend on provisioning an additional one or two T1/E1s at their 3G cell sites, just to support the very first wave of early adopters of mobile broadband.

Liquid Cooling for a Data Center

August 11, 2008

Green Perspective for Next Generation Data Centers

July 7, 2008

Equinix Data Centers Certified 'Green' | www.tmcnet.com

Today’s organizations face an urgent need to develop energy-efficient and environmentally responsible data centers. Data centers are growing at a tremendous rate,but energy costs are becoming a proportionally higher part of their operational budget. Analysts estimate that within a few years,the cost of powering and cooling a server will equal its purchase price. Unfortunately, IT management often lacks sufficient visibility into the details of energy costs and inefficiencies, so it is unable to take proper steps to lower consumption, streamline operations, make better use of assets it already has and resolve other energy-related requirements.
