WikitipNew multiplatform organizational tool comingDatebk6 has long been the secret organizational weapon of the Palm PDA cognoscenti. The brainchild of C.E.S. Dewer, it is the ultimate personal information manager (PIM), with sophisticated functionality that other applications, including Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes, cannot come close to matching. Recently CESD has announced a new development platform, now in alpha test, to redevelop Datebk on a multiplatform base that will allow him to port it to a list of popular desktop and mobile systems, starting with Microsoft Windows and eventually including Macintosh, iPhone/iPod Touch, and Android. And this new version, named PIMlical adds the one thing the Palm version lacks – the ability to send and receive meeting invitations to lists of meeting participants. Although traditionally marketed mostly to the consumer marketplace on the Palm, PIMlical has obvious applications in business, where personal and small team organization is vital. And it has the added benefit that it will create one virtual mobile PIM platform across several physical platforms. For companies that have users on several mobile platforms, this could help unify support for mobile PIM applications. |
Featured Case Study
Virtualization Energizes Cal State UniversityJohn Charles is the CIO of California State University, East Bay (CSUEB) and Rich Avila is Director, Server & Network Operations. In late 2007 they were both looking down the barrel of a gun. The total amount of power being used in the data center was 67KVA. The maximum power from the current plant was 75kVA. PG&E had informed them that no more power could be delivered. They would be out of power in less than six months. A new data center was planned, but would not be available for two years. |

Featured How-To Note |
Storage Virtualization Design and DeploymentA main impediment to storage virtualization is the lack of multiple storage vendor (heterogeneous) support within available virtualization technologies. This inhibits deployment across a data center. The only practical approach is either to implement a single vendor solution across the whole of the data center (practical only for small and some medium size data centers) or to implement virtualization in one or more of the largest storage pools within a data center. | |||
