Live Webcast with Greg Schulz Long-Term Data Protection and Retention -
Finding the Correct Balance April 29th
Quantum will discuss shifting industry trends requiring more data to be retained
for longer periods of time for both compliance and non-compliance requirements.
A combination of tape and disk-based data protection, including archiving for
data preservation, can help address power, cooling, floor-space and economic
concerns with meeting other needs and issues.

Ken Mingis: How to make a MacBook zippy -- just add an SSD
I recently inherited a base model $1,299 MacBook and wanted to make it a little
snappier for day-to-day operations. So I snagged an OCZ SSD and swapped it in
for the stock drive. Color me happy.

Thinking Beyond Tape: The Case Against Tape Backup
Many companies are already backing up their main and branch office systems to
tape, but what they don't understand is just how vulnerable their data and their
business remains. This whitepaper explores the high cost, complexity and
potentially dangerous shortcomings of a strategy based only on tape backup.

price.

SHARK BAIT OF THE DAY
_____________________
Sometimes, they just don't listen...
I have a manager that requested network accounts for two of his sales guys. Not
really a problem, except these two guys are really old-school, and they have had
network accounts set up for them multiple times in the past. Every time, they
stop logging in to their computers, and 90 days later, their accounts are
deleted due to inactivity ...
