CIO: How to Manage Application Enhancements
“The problem for the engineering managers, however, is that each change generally requires considerable impact analysis before it is made (to see what, if anything, the change could adversely affect) and considerable testing after it has been implemented but before the new “version” of the software goes into production (to prove that nothing actually broke). This “engineering process” effort can easily dwarf the core engineering resource requirements as each small change includes all the aforementioned associated “overhead.”
SearchSecurity.com: How ‘quadplay’ convergence can improve network security
“Cisco Systems Inc. has been urging its customers and investors to support its new “quadplay” strategy. Quadplay refers to the use of the same network infrastructure for data, voice, video and mobile communications traffic and it’s becoming ubiquitous in the technology industry. From a networking perspective, quadplay is ideal — it not only means managing one network instead of four, but it also enables the sharing of bandwidth capacity across these previously disparate uses.”
CIO Today: IBM Debuts New Batch of SOA Tools
“Six months ago, IBM released 11 new SOA products, 20 product upgrades and eight new service offerings. This time around, IBM delivered four new products, 23 product upgrades and 11 new service offerings.”
netperformance.com: WLAN Performance
“Many enterprises have installed 802.11b/g (54Mbps) radios throughout their networks expecting the performance of their new wireless connections to approach, if not meet, this theoretical bandwidth. Alas, the performance of these wireless networks invariably fails to meet expectations, and in some cases even becomes performance bottlenecks that require adding more resources for support and maintenance. What happened to all the bandwidth and performance promised by 802.11g, or for that matter, 802.11a?”
Collaboration Loop: Key Trends in Web Conferencing for 2007 and Beyond
“Frost and Sullivan has just released its latest web conferencing research, and we believe that the growing ground swell of demand for online collaboration will continue to fuel growth in the global market. Valued at $725.4 million in 2005, we forecast the market will reach $2.9 billion in 2011. This year and next it’s reaching a pivotal point, as enterprises look to deploy the technology to more users, and vendors pursue new deployment models, partnerships, and pricing structures.”
GigaOM: Video Conferencing… Its’ hot again
“Video conferencing has been long time coming, and has been marred by poor quality, and complexity. Proprietary nature of the video conferencing systems did not help either. But broadband removed the network bottleneck, and open standards, and communication protocols are making it easier for video conferencing to work in an optimal fashion. ‘Over the next year or so we should see demand for this kind of technology double as early adopters buy more and other companies realize the benefits,’ Howard Lichtman, president of Human Productivity Lab told Reuters.”
