  • The Relationship Between Local Content, Internet Development and Access Prices
    THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOCAL CONTENT, INTERNET DEVELOPMENT AND ACCESS PRICES This research is the result of collaboration in 2011 between the Internet Society (ISOC), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The first findings of the research were presented at the sixth annual meeting of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) that was held in Nairobi, Kenya on 27-30 September 2011. The views expressed in this presentation are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of ISOC, the OECD or UNESCO, or their respective membership. FOREWORD This report was prepared by a team from the OECD's Information Economy Unit of the Information, Communications and Consumer Policy Division within the Directorate for Science, Technology and Industry. The contributing authors were Chris Bruegge, Kayoko Ido, Taylor Reynolds, Cristina Serra- Vallejo, Piotr Stryszowski and Rudolf Van Der Berg. The case studies were drafted by Laura Recuero Virto of the OECD Development Centre with editing by Elizabeth Nash and Vanda Legrandgerard. The work benefitted from significant guidance and constructive comments from ISOC and UNESCO. The authors would particularly like to thank Dawit Bekele, Constance Bommelaer, Bill Graham and Michuki Mwangi from ISOC and Jānis Kārkliņš, Boyan Radoykov and Irmgarda Kasinskaite-Buddeberg from UNESCO for their work and guidance on the project. The report relies heavily on data for many of its conclusions and the authors would like to thank Alex Kozak, Betsy Masiello and Derek Slater from Google, Geoff Huston from APNIC, Telegeography (Primetrica, Inc) and Karine Perset from the OECD for data that was used in the report.

  • After Memorex by SABIN RUSSELL
    How an engineering group at Memorex spawned most of today's disk drive industry Life After Memorex BY SABIN RUSSELL Theywer e probably the finest collection of engi- neers of their kind in the world. In an obscure de- partment at Memorex Corp. during the early 1970s, they designed the "3670," a complex com- puter memory that stored data on a spinning stack of magnetic disks, which became one of Memorex' President most successful products. But the real story is what has happened since to the men who designed it. Memorex, drained of re- sources by a failed attempt to compete with IBM in the mainframe computer business in 1972, had no real followup projects for the charged-up engineers. Inspired by their own success, they scattered for ventures of their own. Out of that Sunnyvale, Calif., unit, which never numbered much more than 100 engineers, at least 29 went on to found companies. The group's entrepreneurial fervor continues a dec- ade after it began. Don Massaro's Metaphor Com- puter Systems will launch a sophisticated office computer workstation this fall. Tony LaPine's La- Pine Technology is bringing out an advanced com- pact disk drive for portable computers. When the group's engineers began to go their 4'rosBn,?u"ve al n separate ways in 1973, not one was a top figure in 19/8 nn " Lee7o "° -Lee Memorex' corporate hierarchy. But in the years since, many have become key players in today's disk drive industry, which last year had worldwide sales of $15 billion, according to analyst James Por- ter of Disk Trend Inc.

Technology, communication, and transport. Degree Programme in Cyber Security. Master's thesis. Permission for web publication: Yes Language of publication: English Abstract Dell is a large American company with roots dating back to 1984. In 2015, Dell embarked on a project to acquire EMC Corporation, which was completed in one of the largest acquisitions in the IT industry and re- sulted in Dell Technologies. Because of its broad product and service portfolio, Dell Technologies is involved in the infrastructure of almost every Enterprise-level company and, to a significant extent, smaller compa- nies. The idea for the work came from my empirical findings when working with client companies. Dell Technolo- gies ’service portfolio is constantly expanding, but leveraging it more efficiently requires an understanding of customer companies’ internal processes and needs. The purpose of the dissertation is to get an idea of Dell Technologies' customer companies’ knowledge of security criteria’s, as well as the possible need for external assistance in the Finnish customer field, so that Dell Technologies can better target its services to the right needs in a right way. Theme interview was chosen as the research method as it allows gathering large amounts of data from a relatively small sample. Theme interview is qualitative research method and results from the interviews were analysed by using narrative analysis and pointing out the answers to the questions.

By Jon Toigo hile touting “new,” flash-heavy “server-side” topologies and so-called “software-defined architec- tures” as evolutionary replacements for the “legacy” W SANs and NAS appliances that companies deployed in their previous refresh cycles, the industry continues to ignore the more fundamental drivers of storage inefficiency and cost: lack of management both of infrastructure and of data. 1 Storage Spectacular You would think from news reports that the storage industry was on its last legs. Vendor revenues from sales of everything from hard disk drives to external storage arrays, storage area networks (SANs) and network attached storage (NAS) appliances are either flat or declining ever so slightly. Seagate and Western Digital have hit a patch of dol- drums in which the trends of prior years—the doubling of drive capacities every 18 months and the halving of cost per GB every year—have frozen in their tracks. Even the redoubtable EMC, NetApp and IBM are experiencing purchasing slowdowns at customer shops that shouldn’t be happening if the capacity demand explosion that analysts say accompanies server virtualization is to be believed.
