Thu, 03 Nov 2011 15:52:14 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Dropbox http://l4net.com/2011/10/dropbox/ http://l4net.com/2011/10/dropbox/#comments Mon, 10 Oct 2011 15:43:46 +0000 wes http://l4net.com/?p=97 I can’t live without Dropbox!  This little service installs on your computer, then syncs everything you place in the “dropbox” with your online account space, as well as any other computer you’ve installed Dropbox on.  There’s a free account that gives you 2GB of space, which is enough for most people.  And when you simply need more – you can purchase up to 100GB of cloud space.  Simple.

I’ve been using Dropbox since January 2010 and have come to rely on it quite heavily.  I’ve got it installed on 2 work computers, my personal laptop, my iPhone and iPad, and my family uses my space for their personal docs (homework, pictures, etc…).

Highly recommended service!

Deploy virtual desktops to both local and remote users and cut desktop costs by up to 50%.

Bring business continuity and disaster recovery solutions to the desktop by eliminating concerns of planned and unplanned downtime. Ensure compliance and a great user experience while retaining business agility and improving desktop management.

Ease Windows 7 Migrations with Application & Desktop Virtualization

Start your move to Windows 7 by virtualizing your existing Windows applications now to remove their dependency on the operating system and reducing application conflicts. Later, deliver your virtualized applications to Windows 7 desktops by simply copying application files rather than installing them. Just update a master desktop image without affecting any user workflow, settings or data.

Reduce support demands on IT during operating system migrations by isolating desktops and applications from the OS. Reduce conflicts and streamline deployments of applications and desktops while reducing support calls.

Deploy and Manage Remote Virtual Desktops Securely

Deliver desktops as a managed service to remote and branch offices for secure remote access. Protect your data while delivering a consistent high performance user experience to teleworkers and temporary workers. Users can access corporate desktops and applications from almost any device while security policies protect your sensitive data.

Manage your remote desktops from a central location and eliminate the need for administrative staff in branch offices. Provision desktops faster than ever while reducing operating costs and support costs.

Less hardware means you can lower hardware and operating costs by up to 50% and energy costs by 80%. On average, customers save $3,000 per year for every virtualized server workload.

In addition to consolidating servers and using less hardware, virtualization also lets you accelerate provisioning time by 50-70% and gain centralized and automated management. You can monitor performance and deliver peak levels of performance and availability while saving money.

Start by eliminating the old “one server, one application” model and run multiple virtual machines on each physical machine. Free your IT admins from spending so much time managing servers rather than innovating. About 70% of a typical IT budget in a non-virtualized datacenter goes towards just maintaining the existing infrastructure, with little left for innovation.
