Most businesses have considered the impact of data loss and system downtime — but few have the right strategy and technology to ensure minimum impact. The reality is that businesses rely heavily on application software and the information it manages for their success. For this reason, data protection and availability must be an integral part of every company’s overall business strategy. Because today, it is no longer simply about protecting your data — it is about protecting your business!

Choosing the right solution — and the right vendor- is critical to safeguarding your data and protecting your business. Join us for a seminar with Hewlett-Packard to explore the wealth of data protection solutions that HP StorageWorks offer, matching specific solutions with corresponding business requirements, and resulting in a comprehensive, cost-effective solution that ensures true peace of mind.

Micro-soft unveils Web storage beta - Yahoo! News

HP makes gains on computing list - Yahoo! News

Hewlett-Packard Co. improved its standing on the latest list of the world’s 500 fastest supercomputers, released Wednesday at a conference in Dresden.

IBM Corp. still dominates with six of the top 10, including the
BlueGene/L computer at the Lawrence Livermore nuclear lab. It remained
the world’s fastest computer by performing a standard benchmark
operation at 280 teraflops — 280 trillion calculations per second.

IBM used the occasion to announce it expects to break the petaflop
barrier — a quadrillion calculations per second — as early as 2008 with
BlueGene/P, its next supercomputing family. At its maximum scale, IBM
said, BlueGene/P could reach 3 petaflops, a potential boon for complex
simulations in drug research and energy exploration.

Here is a hands on review on the soon to be released iPhone

The Mossberg Solution - WSJ.com

We have been testing the iPhone for two weeks, in multiple usage scenarios, in cities across the country. Our verdict is that, despite some flaws and feature omissions, the iPhone is, on balance, a beautiful and breakthrough handheld computer. Its software, especially, sets a new bar for the smart-phone industry, and its clever finger-touch interface, which dispenses with a stylus and most buttons, works well, though it sometimes adds steps to common functions.

The Apple phone combines intelligent voice calling, and a full-blown iPod, with a beautiful new interface for music and video playback. It offers the best Web browser we have seen on a smart phone, and robust email software. And it synchronizes easily and well with both Windows and Macintosh computers using Apple’s iTunes software.

CD sales are sliding as different formats gain popularity.

Forbes.com - Magazine Article

The compact disc, for years the music industry’s dominant format, appears to be falling out of favor with consumers faster than industry observers had predicted. Digital music? Another story.

In a report, industry analysts Richard Greenfield and Mark Smaldon of Pali Research in New York said they now expect U.S. unit sales of CDs to slide 20% in 2008, a bigger decline than the 15% drop they had previously predicted. Moreover, decline would come on the heels of an expected 18% drop in U.S. CD sales in 2007.
