WikitipThe iPhone needs strong functionality to compete in the smart phone marketUltimately the iPhone’s success will depend on its ability to attract a market of new smart phone users. The iPhone's applicability as a corporate device — providing mobile access to email, corporate IM and enterprise applications — remains to be seen. However, Apple and AT&T would have to offer significant discounts to compete against Research in Motion and other established smart phone suppliers in the corporate market outside of companies where the Macintosh is standard. |
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. | |||
