The UK government has announced plans to make its computer systems wholly carbon-neutral by 2020 by adopting various green IT strategies, including automatically powering down PCs, configuring virtual servers and selective deployments of thin client technology.
Take a look at what ZDNet Australia readers have checking out this year, with our list of the most read blogs of 2007.
Facts are facts, right? Not when Telstra, Optus and the communications regulator are involved. With temperatures rising across the board over the contentious issue of broadband, mud-slinging and half-truths have become the order of the day.
Alcatel is playing cheerleader for Telstra in trying to get a good deal from the competition regulator for the telco's proposed new broadband network.
Key decisions about competition in Australia's telecommunications industry are expected this week.
I have seen the NBN, and it looks a lot like Christina Aguilera. Or, at least, it looked like her when I dropped into Ericsson's Melbourne headquarters recently to see a live demo of their NBN solutions. Yet behind the streaming TV, one question lingers -- and not even the government seems able to answer it.
Given that the new iPhone 3G S is rated at up to 7.2Mbps, you'd think Telstra would be all over it as a potential show pony for Next G's purported high-speed performance. Yet the opposite seems to be true.
Intel demonstrated a working version of USB 3.0 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas last week. Here's what we can look forward to with the new technology.
It seems that green IT has dropped off the radar, with other technology issues moving to the fore. But was green IT ever a real technology movement, or was it just a marketing fad?
Sometimes, a well-placed and well-timed letter can make all the difference. Other times, it can make no difference at all and even hurt your case. This week's missive by the Competitive Carriers' Coalition, I would suggest, falls into the latter category.
Recently, HP released its largest ever range of printers at its Go Print 2.0 Conference in Shanghai. ZDNet.com.au's photo gallery gives you the complete range, along with comparisons, prices and release dates.
If you're about to build a new Ethernet network or upgrade an existing one, be sure to consider installing an infrastructure that will support 10Gbps bandwidth, even if you don't need that much speed right now.
When discussing voice over Internet Protocol, network capacity becomes more a measure of how many simultaneous calls the network can process. This article looks at what you should consider during the VoIP capacity planning process.
Who needs colour? Sometimes all you need is a black-and-white printer that can churn out the pages fast. We look at your options.
If a car starts to stall, drivers would pop the bonnet and check the individual components. But when a network goes down, how are the weak points identified and isolated?
The Pro805 frustrates as much as it innovates with a touchscreen interface and an interesting, iPhone-style app store.
The HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless makes a convincing inkjet argument for offices with a high volume of prints. With a function touchscreen, multiple networking options and an astoundingly fast print speed, it makes perfect sense to give this workhorse an Editors' Choice award.
The Brother MFC-990CW is a speedy, fully capable all-in-one device that earns our recommendation for an individual or a family that will make use of its touchscreen and telephone/answering machine.
HP' s 24-port ProCurve offers PoE+, a lifetime warranty and free software upgrades.
The ESP 7 tries to leap ahead of the pack by claiming to have fast print speeds and good quality photo output. Unfortunately, it falls short in most of these areas, but it is relatively cheap to run.
