Every so often change the entire technology sector in 2010 and is one of those years. If you are responsible for purchase or evaluation of technology products and services, many are, what you have learned and used to make Decisions to Have taken place or are about to change. You know your needs have changed, as we all had to tighten their belts. If you have a low budget in recent years in your organization to technology, then the following thingsassayed.

When in the middle of the country, local understanding and adoption of current technology GAL often the rest of the nation 18-36 months. Making decisions in inheritance could cost your organization more current technologies, while the positioning of competitors behind with little hope of recovery. The four main areas that you should begin to be understood, 64-bit, virtualization, remote access and unified messaging.

64bit means double the processing speed and amount ofMemory, but did not "buy" Enterprise software. And server platforms and applications are connected now generally all 64-bit compatible. If the business application (such as accounting) is 64-bit compatible, this is not the year for 64-bit operating systems on desktop computers to receive, as most of the productivity software like Microsoft Office does not have a 64bit version.

If you have four or more servers, it's time to take advantage of virtualization. This simply means that an application is runningmanages multiple servers in a box. If this sounds risky, consider the different things that often run on a server without problems. The difference in virtualization is that you copy a second server or host for the image file or virtual servers running in case of error. Sun's recovery in minutes instead of days for a traditional server error. Microsoft Hyper-V is recommended, instead of VMWare at no cost and little difference in functionality. The most common errors are avoidedonly the purchase of a server host, and regardless of storage, Network Attached Storage (SAN) and a box of long, costly legacy Network Attached Storage (NAS) box.

Why are you that VPN? It 's hard to connect, often down and slow. The time now to see a demonstration of gateway services.

Love your BlackBerry and e-mail? Well, now trails the market BlackBerry vs. iPhone, Windows Mobile, Android and new devices. BlackBerry devices require additional hardware and server licenses, so they began, and the remainder of mobility viability questionable. Similarly, the amounts consumed by email extensive management time for the return of small businesses. Organizations to implement immediateMessaging / presence is often a 30% reduction in e-mail immediately and return bit 'of time for actual work done. Use Office Communicator for roaming footprint and integrated security against the freedom of clients such as Windows Messenger, do not have these features. Add a camera and can do everything but reach and shake hands.

The major producers are changing, they are all run for a further integration and hosted services forever change the relationship with customers, partners andRetailers. All of us have learned over the years that have solutions, multi-vendor best-of-breed and best security, but many of the major players, including Microsoft have been quietly adding integrated products, such as anti-virus and backup. You can not really say if the offer is from the manufacturer, the manufacturer of the products, and no longer and costs less than third-party offerings.

Microsoft has changed the affiliate program to partner network, so that soon no longerGold Partner with a few unintelligible response with high competence and most of the same name, only the sale of software or their customers, a questionnaire. In addition, individual certifications in all specialties as the technology specialist in IT Professional or Enterprise Messaging have changed, it is not so since 2003 MCSE sense. Hardware manufacturer Dell are the following adjustments, recognizing that the book on-line open 30 minutes is a test not knowingCertification. Established players spend significant U.S. dollar offers for their own infrastructure and have the sales teams and technical staff of the latest technologies for organizing, training for the certification. Fortunately, soon gone are the days when an entrepreneur can wiring and PC manufacturers themselves as experts without any qualifications or credentials current tout, customers misled by labeling of products and goods until they have no real value while wearing the logos of more than a race car.
