Data Center World 2010
Thursday, March 11th, 2010The new iPhone OS 3.0 in-depth

Below is a video, which shows the new features that will most likely be in the new iPhone 3.0 OS that will be out sometime this summer.
I didn’t catch all of the video, but I did not see anything mentioning the fact that it will have flash enabled browsers, which was at the top of many iPhone user’s wish list. I’ve heard that iPhone users will have to wait for Adobe to release that first.
A lot was crossed off the wish list with this Beta version, such as, cutting and pasting, landscape view while texting, sending images through texting and my personal favorite is being able to turn your Bluetooth on with the push of an icon instead of going through three pages in the “general settings” page!
Have an iPhone yourself? What are hoping to see from 3.0 when it is released this summer?
Data Centers are running out of space.

IT managers are running out of space not only in London, where space is at a premium, but also in the US as a data center space shortage looms, according to Transitional Data Services Michael E Bullock, president and co-founder.
Bullock examines the escalating costs for data center space and warns those in charge of IT departments to plan for a “critical resource shortage,” lest they squander much of their budgets.
In London, England, data center space constraints have already hit, where the city’s facilities are more than 85 percent full, resulting in lease costs doubling in just the last 12 months. In May 2008, London’s electricity supplier halted data center building in preparation for the 2012 Olympics to limit data centers’ toll on London’s already-taxed grid.
Not immune from the same effects driving up prices in the UK, Bullock notes that colocation space state side in New England have increased nearly seven times over the past five years. “In the metro New York market, don’t be surprised to see prices in the $45 to $50 range,” Bullock wrote.
Bullock also debunks the myth that the economy’s downturn will drive down data center costs just like real estate prices. He explains that real estate only accounts for no more than 10 percent of a leased or newly built data center so the cost of real estate barely factors into the cost.

Data Center Buildouts Maintain Pace Despite Economy

We all know the state of the global economy now a days, but despite a number of companies announcing delays of their data center construction projects, users and industry experts say that the facility buildouts are still going relatively strong. Google, Terremark Worldwide and Verne Holdings have all announce delays of their data center projects in Oklahoma, Santa Clara and Iceland, in the past few months.
According to Richard Sawyer, vice president and engineer for EYP mission critical facilities at Hewlett-Packard, construction on financial data centers has slowed down, but new government data centers buildouts continue to pick up. Companies that are directly related to government objective will soon see significant growth, says Tom Roberts, the data center facility management director for healthcare organization Trinity Health.
Roberts says that as the government continues to digitize all health information, Trinity Health will eventually have to double or triple its data center space over the next couple years.
Additionally, data center colocation continues to be a top priority.
However, there has been a shifting approach in building colocation facilities, says Jim Simonelli, APC and a member of AFCOM’s advisory board. He says that companies are more carefully planning these data centers to exact specifications, which can lead to a longer timeframe for construction.

Bad Habits Slap Us Down, but a Theme Encourages
Friday, February 6th, 2009
- Image via Wikipedia
Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Karl Staib of Work Happy Now.
Productivity books and websites talk about creating habits that support a better life.
- If you think positive then you’ll have a better outlook on life.
- If you exercise on a daily basis you’ll have more energy.
- If you stay organized you’ll reduce stress.
The problem is creating the habit. It’s easy to read something that sounds good, but it’s infinitely harder to implement. We have trouble creating good habits because it’s easier to keep doing what we are doing.
If you keep doing what you are doing you will probably live a decent life. That’s what most of us want anyway. So why make the choice to create new habits?
