Unified Communications – Communication at 65 Words per Minute

It is not uncommon for kids these days to surprise their parents with a big, unexpected windfall, when receiving the monthly Cell Phone bill.  Almost ZERO minutes of talk time!  Instead there are thousands of text messages being sent back and forth all day long and not to mention countless hours of surfing the web on Smart Phones.  Coincidentally this parallels much of what is happening in the workplace, too.

New workers, entering the workforce in their early to mid 20’s, have similar preferences for their preferred communication methods.  They arrive at work with an expectation that they can be productive on-line and via messaging, and probably look at the telephone as their third or fourth choice of communication.  As business planners, you must not ignore their call to action for a more comprehensive view of communications.  Real benefits and real improved productivity come when you take a “Unified Communications” view of how your team chooses to collaborate.

Unified Communications has been somewhat mysterious, when many decision makers still harbor the mistaken view that it is a new term for “Telephony.”  Nothing could be farther from the truth.  Join Chris Krueger, VP/CIO of PEI, an IT Consulting Firm, for a discussion of the new paradigm of communications, where Instant Messaging, Presence, Conferencing, Video, and Desktop sharing all augment the traditional Voice role.

In order for society to grasp and embrace issues of security and privacy we are going to have to make such education a part of the public education curriculum. It will only be once we have a generation of teachers raised with education about social engineering prevention, and basic security and privacy practices that we will be able to make inroads into a society that grasps the fundamental concepts to be more resilient to cyber attacks. Even then, as has been the history of crime, there will be no nirvana, however we can evolve from the wild west of the internet to a more manageable crime rate.

Cloud technologies are creating an inflection point requiring IT professionals to consider a hosting alternative for even the most mission critical websites and applications. And while cloud is for everyone, it is not for everything. Rackspace Hosting will demystify “the cloud” by sharing how customers are adopting cloud computing for various types of applications, explaining the advantages of cloud over dedicated hosting and the new trends in cloud – including managed cloud and hybrid hosting, that combines the best of both worlds. Using cloud resources as an extension of an existing dedicated infrastructure combines the customization of traditional servers with the automatic scaling and cost effectiveness of the cloud. Rackspace will also cover OpenStack™, the open-source cloud platform designed to foster the emergence of technology standards and cloud interoperability.

As we look out across the information technology landscape for the past 10 years we see the ground swell surrounding IT Service Management (ITSM) and more specifically ITIL. It came across the ocean from the UK about a dozen years ago, but are we in the US any closer to seeing value from the “best practices” than we were before ITIL landed on our shores?  Maybe it is time to reassess the Americanized view of what ITSM is all about and revisit where we expected ITSM to take us and determine if it is really getting us there.  In this brief discussion we will examine the question “Why are we doing all of this anyway?” and determine if we can be successful given the current models.

The term Cloud Computing is used today in every C-level executive conversation, often in contradictory ways. However, underneath the fog and just beyond the hype of Cloud Computing, there are many interesting trends and counter-trends that are setting the stage for the next major shift in IT service delivery and computation.   These include global-class design, web-based service delivery platforms, massively scalable processing, always-available applications; elastic automated and on demand resource provisioning, and multi-device supported architectures. These new architectural models are helping enterprises to deliver applications that reduce capital and operational expenditures, and improve scalability, availability, and reliability. In addition, Cloud provides many other benefits like geographic redundancy, data snapshots and shared data across multiple locations, and load balancing at a fraction of the costs of a traditional data center setting.

This session gives a brief introduction to application architectures, availability patterns and discusses the benefits and challenges of extending applications into the cloud while maintaining the availability and protection currently enjoyed in the dedicated application clusters in the Data Centers.
