Manage Risk & Budgets With Dual-Service Disaster Recovery Alison Diana, Writer, 5/17/2012 Comment now Although they fervently hope to never use their disaster recovery (DR) solutions for their designed purpose, SMBs can tap this infrastructure for reasons other than returning to normal business operations after a natural or man-made disaster. No Room at the Datacenter: Government Agencies Run Out of Storage Alison Diana, Writer, 5/16/2012 Comment now 11 comments Big-data has the potential to deliver big benefits to federal IT departments -- but that prospect is constrained by issues such as storage, ownership questions, lack of staff, and the constantly growing surge of unstructured data. Most recent post, Todd, 5/21/2012 12:29:50 AM I think what he means is more along the lines of programming itself. Lets take java... The Cloud: Not as New & Scary as Some Say Kevin Jacoby, CEO, Rain Computers, 5/16/2012 Comment now 8 comments I did a 21st Century IT live chat the other day (the contents of which you can read here) about choosing a cloud service provider.

Doctor-Patient Confidentiality: It Ain't What It Used to Be, Part 1 Rich Bruklis, VP Marketing, CloudReplica, 5/15/2012 Comment now 1 Comment My doctor, Dr. Sam, is a general practitioner probably in his late 50s. He is a small man from India who has, well, poked and prodded me over the years. There is nothing on me he hasn't seen (I am slightly embarrassed to say). He is a great person. His No. 1 priority is his Hippocratic oath to practice medicine ethically and to be kind to his patients. I ... Most recent post, Alison Diana, 5/16/2012 12:49:52 PM Unlike Dr. Sam, my GP has no desire to join the 21st century, at least as it pertains... Doctor-Patient Confidentiality: It Ain't What It Used to Be, Part 2 Rich Bruklis, VP Marketing, CloudReplica, 5/15/2012 Comment now 2 comments While we typically view government regulations as checkbox items, a medical entity really needs to practice the preventive measures all the time -- much like the medical advice Dr. Sam gives to his patients.

Todd on No Room at the Datacenter: Government Agencies Run Out of Storage 5/21/2012 12:12:38 AM Re: Open Source: If only Microsoft and Apple would embrace the open-sourced market.

Todd on Lumbering Into Platform-as-a-Service 5/20/2012 11:52:19 PM Re: Open Source: Great point, mvr00! There is so much creativity within the open source market. And it's great to see more and more commercial vendors embracing open source for the same reasons you did. Alison Diana on Lumbering Into Platform-as-a-Service 5/20/2012 11:49:30 PM Re: Its like Moore's Law: What, then, is the answer, JAdams? Is it working with third-party developers, perhaps developers who have a history of dealing with massive amounts of data? Or is it working with Microsoft and creating add-on apps that help fill any gaps that... Alison Diana on No Room at the Datacenter: Government Agencies Run Out of Storage 5/20/2012 11:47:43 PM Re: Data Use Strategy: Yes, Erika: In some cases, it's as though certain agencies collect data for collection's sake! Merely having a ton of information doesn't help any organization. It's what they use that data for and how they use that information to guide better... Alison Diana on No Room at the Datacenter: Government Agencies Run Out of Storage 5/20/2012 6:30:17 PM Re: Open Source: That is one of the reasons that I love open source.

Todd on The Cloud: Not as New & Scary as Some Say 5/19/2012 8:59:05 PM Re: Its like Moore's Law: @Todd, I think you've said it all really. It can easily been seen that software is behind on harware in certain applications, such as database software. As a freelance developer and former professional develop myself, I've had to deal... jadams on No Room at the Datacenter: Government Agencies Run Out of Storage 5/18/2012 11:08:02 PM Re: Exactly: It seems that the essential thing here is not the technology itself, rather, the hype that said technology receives. Take cloud for example, as you said, it's certainly not a new concept and organizations have been using client/server technology... jadams on The Cloud: Not as New & Scary as Some Say 5/18/2012 5:50:59 PM Data Use Strategy: I wish I could say I'm surprised to learn that various government agencies are collected and accumulating so much data, but I'm not. What's more surprising to me is to learn that of the huge amoounts of data collected, it appears as though... Erika Pryor on No Room at the Datacenter: Government Agencies Run Out of Storage 5/18/2012 5:41:07 PM Re: Security: Right, but in many cases, companies that specialize in providing cloud services focus solely on that -- or provide cloud services as part of a menu of computer-related offerings. Because of that, their entire business depends on them being...

Alison Diana Blogger 5/11/2012 3:00:09 PM 5/11 Live Chat with Michael Starnes, CEO, Starnes Consulting: Rodney, when the next generation of tools hit the market they will look a lot like Excel or Word and less like ORACLE/Siemens.
