What will 2009 hold for Australia's ICT industry? We asked dozens of local leaders for their predictions; and this is what they came up with.
The University of NSW has decided to ditch its old UniMail system for its tens of thousands of students, moving ahead with an implementation of a new Exchanged-based system hosted by Microsoft in the US.
Hard drives weren't always so compact or so capacious, as a quick pictorial tour through the museum of hard drives at the HDS SAN Technology Centre in Odawara, Japan, reveals.
Seagate last week unveiled a 500GB 2.5-inch notebook drive as well as a 1.5TB desktop hard drive, claiming industry firsts for both.
New Zealand's largest university, the University of Auckland, today revealed it would roll out Google's online email and office suite to its 50,000 students, staff and alumni.
It's rare that we see a genuinely new technological paradigm land on retail shelves, but solid state drives, or SSDs, are one such technology. Here are five reasons we're looking forward to their ascendancy.
Pronouncing that a given device doesn't need any more storage is a near-foolproof recipe for looking stupid somewhere down the line. However, I'm sceptical that many people need a 16GB mini-SD card for their phone.
Mammoth growth in storage volumes is a fact of life, but even so it's helpful to pause occasionally and try and work out whether our information strategies have fallen hopelessly out of step with the pace of technological growth and changes in costs.
E-mail is frequently blamed for creating storage bloat, but is the most effective means of dealing with the problem increasing storage capacity, imposing quotas, enforcing archive rules, or just driving the help desk nuts with questions?
There's only one thing better than a convenient scorecard for measuring your performance as a storage manager: a convenient scorecard for measuring your performance as a storage manager that also lets you think about Billie Piper or John Barrowman a lot.

What will 2009 hold for Australia's ICT industry? We asked dozens of local leaders for their predictions; and this is what they came up with.
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.
Australian SMBs are hungry for storage, yet have been left underserved by major storage vendors. However, increasing demand for digital marketing and fast access to information is causing vendors to take notice of this once-neglected sector.
To a computer nerd like myself, RAID refers not to a bug spray but to various ways of hooking together multiple hard disks.
Managing data storage is just as much of a task (or greater) as managing the servers themselves. It makes sense to centralise management in larger organisations wherever possible. Enter the storage area network (SAN).
Its excellent multimedia support, storage and gorgeous display make the Omnia better for people who put pleasure before business.
What's the best mid-range server on the market? We put machines from Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Lenovo through their paces in our labs.
The Iomega Home Media Network Drive, a single-volume NAS server, is easy to set up and use for even the most novice user; however, its lack of advanced features might lessen its appeal to savvy users.
The Iomega StorCenter ix2 is a two-drive NAS device that offers Bluetooth support but no remote access via the web.
