The Australian Law Reform Commission yesterday released a report recommending Australia introduce data breach disclosure laws but Senator John Faulkner said that bridge would not be crossed by government at least for the next 18 months.
Microsoft has boosted the size of inboxes for Windows Live Hotmail users, offering a standard 5GB of storage and 10GB for paid MSN Premium and Hotmail Plus accounts.
As Dell continues to battle shrinking growth in PC and server sales, the PC giant is revamping its support offering.
Dell announced Monday plans to acquire SAN equipment manufacturer EqualLogic in a $1.4 billion cash deal, which may cause Dell to reconsider its partnership with storage leader, EMC.
HP is releasing a new line of "green" storage products that, according to the company, will require half the power and cooling of its current systems.
For a large-scale storage project, it's not uncommon to go out to tender for the best deal but when was the last time you had to put together a tender for a document management room?
Microsoft has finally rolled out its online storage service in Australia, but it's definitely worth reading the fine print before you sign up.
People who work in storage are used to being told that they're boring. I imagine that accountants feel a somewhat similar sensation: everyone knows that what they do is essential, but that doesn't seem to command a significant level of respect or offer increased opportunities for communing with the opposite sex.
Trying to understand the logic behind Microsoft's development decisions is a bit like S&M: it's a painful activity probably best left to others. But a recent example from the storage world does suggest something about Microsoft's "people will beat up on us regardless" dilemma.
Managers in charge of storage have a lot to worry about, but there seems no particular reason why people in this corner of the world should be more concerned about security than anything else. Why is it that securing our data matters more to us than accessing it?
Making predictions about the storage market isn't difficult. Suggest that capacities will go up and costs will go down and you shouldn't go too far wrong.

We look at five organisations that took different approaches to satisfying a common business requirement: to improve the management of corporate information. We hear from Jetstar, Family Court, SHFA, Count Wealth and MBF.
The Rack Station RS408 is an attractive NAS solution with plenty of performance, plus lots of extras to tempt the smaller business.
Although it covers all the NAS bases and is very affordable, it's hard to see the TeraStation Pro II Rackmount having much of an impact on the business market.
The ReadyNAS range is a perfect addition to a household that needs not just storage, but control over that storage. Now if only Netgear could do something about the price.
The old adage "good things come in small packages" certainly applies to the QNAP TS-409, a silver and black cube whose small dimensions sport a raft of features.
Google's new Web mail service is free and provides a gigabyte of storage, but also raises privacy concerns. We put the beta version through its paces.
