Online Tech Launches Cost Effective SAN Disaster Recovery Hosting

Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) June 23, 2009

In conjunction with upcoming Dell seminars at its data centers, Online Tech, Michigan’s largest managed data center operator, has launched a SAN Disaster Recovery Package — Online Tech will host a secondary SAN at its secure SAS70 certified data centers, including Internet connectivity, for only $ 399 per month.

At the EqualLogic seminar this week (June 25th), Dell will demonstrate SAN-to-SAN replication between two Online Tech data centers. The EqualLogic SANs were set up in less than one hour with the primary SAN replicating data, snapshots, and restoration points to the secondary SAN for disaster recovery at a separate data center.

“Other SAN solutions we tested took a high level of expertise and days to configure the cross data center replication” said Jason Yaeger, Online Tech’s Operations Manager. “We were stunned at how quickly we could set up cross data center SAN-to-SAN replication with Dell’s EqualLogic product.”

SAN-to-tape backup is quickly giving way to offsite SAN replication, driven by three main factors: lower costs of disk storage, cheaper Internet connectivity costs, and easier to use SAN solutions.

Compared to daily SAN-to-tape backups that are “sent” offsite, offsite SAN-to-SAN replication provides the peace of mind that the SAN data is “continuously” replicated. The data can be

restored at any time without the delay involved in retrieving tapes from an offsite storage or the risk that the data may not be recovered from a bad tape.

The SAN hosting package starts at $ 399 per month and includes everything needed to host a Dell EqualLogic SAN at Online Tech’s secure, SAS 70 audited data centers, including:

SAN colocation in a secure, locked rack including redundant power
SAS 70 certified data center assuring physical and network security
5 Mbps Internet bandwidth for up to 50GB SAN-to-SAN transfer per day
Secure VPN network connection into the SAN

Merrill Brink News Reviews and Opinions: Can a Translation Management System Help You Create an Effective Globalized Website?

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 16, 2012

Merrill Brink News Reviews and Opinions:Businesses all over the US, Europe and Asia are increasingly looking towards previously uncharted territories for new markets and growth. Although most of us realize the importance of having a strong web presence, there are still many rapidly globalized businesses that are not taking the globalization of their website seriously enough.

Figures from the latest study of web use by language, carried out by Internet World Stats, show that as of May 2011, only 26.8 percent of web users speak English, while 24.2 percent speak Chinese. However, 56.6 percent of websites are in English, with only a small fraction featuring content in any one other language.

Lets look first at the BRIC nations for an example. Brazil, Russia, India and China are among the fastest growing economies in the world and US businesses are increasingly targeting markets within these nations. However, currently only two percent of websites are in Portuguese, 4.8 percent are in Russian, 4.5 percent are in Chinese and less than 0.1 percent are in Hindi.

Its not difficult to see the potential benefits of translating your corporate website to these languages, but many companies remain cautious about doing the job right and maintaining control over the content, and they are right to be so. Utilizing translation management with your content management system (CMS), however, will help companies ensure that their brand messages remain clear, their corporate terminology is consistent and their translation jobs are tracked and monitored, for full transparency and cost evaluation.

For most businesses embarking on a web globalization project, there will be two major concerns, each of which we will look at here. The first is the management and cost of work on a localized level. With the use of a translation management system (TMS), however, the management is automated centrally, reducing the overhead costs and the time to market. In addition, it still allows for the localized approach, with a qualified language service providers(LSP) network of subject matter linguists helping to create a site that is relevant to the country at which it is aimed but that retains the spirit and style of the corporations other literature and online material.

Secondly, businesses are likely to be concerned about maintaining a level of quality they feel they have more control over when online material is published in English. Inconsistency in translation services – whether with regards to the use of abbreviations, the messages and tone of voice being used, or simply a spelling issue can do serious harm to a brand. Again, a TMS will provide a means through which authorized personnel can submit and approve certain corporate terminology, preferred usage information and other style matters.

Using a TMS will help any companys move towards creating a truly global web presence as straightforward and effective as possible. It does this by allowing executives to quickly and easily submit translation projects online, download status reports, track budgets and oversee the progress of each job, 24/7 and in real time.

Cloud Security Alliance Identifies 17 Key Components for Effective Mobile Device Management of BYOD and Company-Owned Devices

SEATTLE, WA (PRWEB) September 20, 2012

The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Mobile Working Group today released Mobile Device Management: Key Components, V1.0, a research report identifying 17 key elements that are critical for organizations to consider for the full lifecycle security management of mobile devices. The whitepaper is one of six parts to the upcoming, “Security Guidance for Critical Areas of Mobile Computing” report, one of a number of important research items to be presented and discussed at the upcoming annual CSA Congress being held November 7-8 in Orlando.

With the growth in the number of applications, content and data being accessed through a variety of devices, mobile device management (MDM) has to extend beyond device management alone. As IT departments are now fully responsible for company-owned devices, organization must look to adopt policies and practices to prevent any compromise in security. Most important, the report cites, is for organizations to include a system-centric functionality to secure and manage data and applications, as well as information-centric functionality such as the delivery of the enterprise application store or content library.

Mobile devices are becoming an integral part of corporate networks and as employees are increasingly using their personal device to access cloud-based applications and services, identity management is paramount in ensuring that this access remains secure, said Patrick Harding, CTO, Ping Identity. By having the right identity management processes, enterprises can provide employees with secure and convenient access to cloud apps via single sign-on from mobile devices – whether BYOD or not. The CSA has taken important steps in identifying the key elements organizations need to consider before adopting a BYOD policy and were happy to see identity management recognized as a key piece.

While every company will have a different tolerance for risk and will adopt mobile technology in different ways, there are several fundamental components of MDM that have to be considered and incorporated into policy and practice. With each component falling into one of three major categories: software and hardware, inventory and security, the report provides implementation best practices as well as potentials risks along with a Must Have or Optional rating to help organizations better prioritize their security efforts.

Key components to MDM identified include:
