NEW ORLEANS -- Cisco this week unveiled two unified communications products optimized for small and midsize businesses, a market Cisco admits it needs to increase share in.
I'll kick off this roundup by eating a little crow -- I pooh-poohed the notion that Google might not be rolling out Key Lime Pie at this year's I/O conference in last week's installment, saying that I'd still be expecting Android 5.0 to show up in San Francisco.
Next month at the European Identity Conference I'll be talking about Risk Management ("Risk Management for Better Health, Fiscal and Physical"). In doing some research for that keynote, I came across a company which hosts what they call a "fraud fighting" service, but which comes under the risk management heading and just might be the pre-cursor to a type of service we've only thought of as "pie in the sky" until now.
It is relatively easy to sell the vision of the next-generation data center: Service-oriented applications running over a virtualized, service-oriented infrastructure. The benefits of agility, lower operational costs, better utilization and rapid application deployment represent motherhood and apple-pie - all good. Unless you're allergic to apples, that is.
For Linux diehards, what could be sweeter than the image of a pie in Bill's eye? (See link below for a photo.) Maybe the statements of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, speaking at the Microsoft Management Summit in Las Vegas last week: "We will add support for non-Windows virtual machines running on our Virtual Server, including Linux."
There are some things you can't disagree with (not if you want to remain part of the human race). In telecom circles, that includes 'Net neutrality.

If we draw a pie chart representing the total downtime at almost any IT shop, the slice for planned downtime - when maintenance, upgrades and so forth take place - would invariably be the largest slice of all. But if we were to build a companion chart indicating the stress that accompanies downtime, it is a given that unplanned downtime would take up the most space.
Venture capitalists are investing more money in private companies than at any time since the dot-com bust, with software companies grabbing the biggest slice of the pie.
The telecom field has become too crowded. The result is too many companies clamoring for pieces of the pie and having to cut back on support services just to keep afloat. Instead of having a few great companies offering world-class service and support, we have many marginal companies working hard to stay alive.
Oracle set its sights on a bigger piece of the cloud pie Tuesday with new IaaS services that put it in more direct competition with Amazon Web Services.
I've read several analyses of Cisco's recent purchase of Linksys and noticed that (sniff) none paralleled my take on the rationale behind the deal. I view the move entirely in a wireless light; as a way for Cisco to control the company that usually appears on market-share pie charts as the maker of the most popular consumer brand of wireless LAN network interface cards.

Because of the popularity of SASE, many vendors are trying to get a piece of the pie and are making strong claims about their offerings that may fall short in practice.
Неумолимо приближается ноябрь, а вместе с ним новая итерация смартфонов серии Google Nexus. Едва вышел iPhone 5 и поутихли страсти вокруг Apple Maps, как IT-издания принялись усиленно собирать...
