Cisco, for media enterprise SNS platform "EOS" conception announcement - - with SaaS model in 2008 offer schedule

The United States Cisco Systems explanation did December 11th, for the analyst of the same company with stage of annual conference "C-Scape 2007", SNS of media enterprise (social networking service) the platform "Cisco Entertainment Operating System which supports offer (EOS)" concerning.

Social networking function and contents transmission and contents function are included in the EOS platform. The media solution section general manager and the Don Shine man of Cisco (Dan Scheinman) according to the explanation of the person, EOS the media enterprise where we would like to add SNS performance to the respective company media/service is the pattern which becomes the platform which is offered to the main object.

Scheinman "was not the service provider, media enterprise targetting it keeps selling (the EOS platform)", you said, presently, Cisco the same platform SaaS (the Software as a Service) revealed the fact that to the plan which is offered with the model it is during 2008.

Cisco in 2007 February, has purchased the United States Five Across which offers SNS. Furthermore portion of the property of the United States Utah Street Networks which manages Tribe.net of the SNS sight is purchased in March, social networking technology is acquired. According to Cisco, you call the EOS platform that it was developed on the basis of the technology these 2.

Scheinman did not make the detailed fee system of the EOS platform clear, but you expressed that it is the intention of keeping collecting fee via the joint announcement contract with the media enterprise.

Cisco already has offered the EOS platform to and With NHL.com, making use of the alpha edition of the same platform, the kid lock of the singer (Kid Rock) the fan page is constructed inside the Web sight of NHL.

Cisco here several years, has conveyed the idea of keeping corresponding to also the needs of the general consumer and small-scale enterprise. The EOS platform is thought the thing which is on the extended line of such strategy. You speak that it is necessary to evolve into the existence CEO of the same company, John (John Chambers) the person around ahead, as for Cisco not only calling the network equipment vendor which offers the mere switch/the rooter, exceeds that.

The beta edition of Microsoft and hypothetical conversion hyper visor "Hyper-V" with 2 month forward fall release - - as for formal edition release sc

As for the United States Microsoft December 13th, the hypothetical conversion hyper visor technology "Hyper-V" which becomes the add-on of Windows Server 2008 (development cord/code name: Viridian) Beta edition, with approximately 2 month forward fall than schedule it made that release it does clear.

The beta edition of Hyper-V to be downloaded and distributedwith of the same company, similarly with beta edition of 64 bit correspondence Windows Server 2008 which is in the midst of download distributing it can utilize. Windows Server 2008 which is the measure upgrade edition of Windows Server, in the schedule which it is shipped is started on 2008 February 27th, the beta edition of Hyper-V was the schedule which release is done in the same day.

The physical server 1 is divided into the plural hypothetical machines, the imagination conversion which makes plural OS work on that is thought the technology which brings big reformation to IT environment widely. From the fact that many enterprises have aimed toward the cost reduction and hardware integration of data center and IT environment, imagination conversion has increased importance more and more. Microsoft was the plan that release it is done, at the beginning Hyper-V as the portion of Windows Server 2008, but presently, from the shipment of same OS it is the schedule which Hyper-V release is done 180 days later. The same company this year when the functional part which is the schedule which is loaded onto Hyper-V is deleted it decided, it postponed the release of the same technology attendant upon that.

As for Hyper-V, being something which utilizes the function of the microprocessor which is optimized in the imagination conversion of Intel and AMD, as for Microsoft it has been about to oppose to VMware which is leader enterprise of the hypothetical conversion market with this technology. VMware has offered hyper visor technology already in the market. As for the hyper visor, OS which differs on the server hardware 1 (such as Windows can operate plural versions and Linux) the cross platform it has function which.

The hypothetical conversion technology which the Windows Server charge general manager of Microsoft, building (Bill Hilf) as for the person, "as for the customer in order for introduction and management of hypothetical conversion technology to become easy, operates directly with respect to Windows Server environment, is built in is calculated. Hyper-V "is designed in order to be able to set up as one of the roll", it is designed in such a way that the manager can start freely and/or stop ", of Windows Server 2008 that you explain. In order the roll with the Advanced Capability of Windows Server 2008, one which we would like to utilize in IT environment or just for the plural rolls to operate, you say that the server can be set up.

The hypothetical conversion charge general manager of Microsoft, microphone (Mike Neil) the person "those which it developed as opposite technology in order in the hypothetical conversion market to fight from VMware and front emphasizes Hyper-V,". But, Hyper-V is, as for release being done half under next year can call the distance of the chase of Microsoft that it is distant. In addition, the Linux distributor - most major Red Hat, cross platform hypothetical conversion technology from the fact that it has already integrated to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, with Microsoft offer of the OS hypothetical conversion technology which is built in has become urgent business.

Windows Server 2008 is prepared, plural editions says that there are some loads Hyper-V. In addition, as for Microsoft 2008 junior half, Hyper-V as hypothetical conversion server product "Microsoft of the single unit, Hyper-V Server", it has made the schedule which is offered.

Meaning of the report of investigation by the analyst

The investigation company issues as for the mostly inspection slip, crossing many volumes, the mass data, has become something where the figure and detailed information etc. are included. On the one hand as for the news story usually, that kind of report - - they were not all nuances and in order - - to pick up only main point, it was written from the point of view which is really different simply like whether the sufficient article that has contradicted mutually of, when it is thought, it is. But method in order even fortunately, pulls out important information from the report which is published, to make the opinion of the analysts clear is several.

_ proper findings from deep understand do to optimum be method, news story with reference do be investigate company to depend large origin inspection slip procure do thing be. But as for that when it is not possible budget even, in IT manager and CIO is a method to in addition to. According toRaven Zacharyat investigation company the open source investigation director is served, as for first it should doing first, the main point of investigation is collected, you say that it is summary of the report and to find summary. According to Zachary "you must read thoroughly the report by any means to from could be completed, it is not the case. Mostly summary being written by first several pages, the contents which condense the contents of the whole report are written. In addition when you look at the long report, the air becomes far when also somewhat it just passes through the eye to summary it can obtain many discernments, "that it is thing.

Zachary furthermore, being busy, when there is no spare time when you read the whole report, recommended that you look at the data for the graph and outline and the supporting which express the important point visual roughly. In addition in the same way, it recommended also the fact that press release concerning investigation is read. As for that kind of press release it can see usually with the web sight of the investigation company.

KevinLucasthe upper-class analyst is served at investigation company have assumed that those where directly story is heard from the analyst are best method. There is also an investigation company which offers the service that it is asked a question to the analyst "with the web sight ' '. ... Perusal - - depending upon when... as a guest also simple question - - that has tried can do the report there is to an investigation company which. If this kind of service is utilized, if you become the customer of the investigation company, that it can grasp the image which you say whether some kind of service can be received probably will be, ". According to Lucas these methods concerning the report when doubt is felt in the interpretation with the mass communications and "when we would like to make that the analyst truly you think clear and when really we would like to raise the opinion of the report and discernment in part of the respective company,", when widely it is used, are thing.

Zachary thinks that also the method of saying of the analyst the telephone of pair one is superior, but it tried there probably to be also an enterprise which does not produce the hand from cost problem in that kind of service. In addition catching the analyst in the conference for industry as the method Zachary and Lucas recommending, after the lecture due to method and the analyst that brief you speak, there was a method of asking briefly one two.

The plan of Google and Wikipedia opposition service "Knol" clearly - - the new axis such that author name is clearly written in each article is struck

The United States Google December 13th, the online encyclopedia new sight "Knol" to which the user can contribute the article (displays unit of knowledge) made the plan which is started clear. Unlike existing online encyclopedia "Wikipedia", with Knol author name is stated in the article, just the author has responsibility in compilation of article contents.

"The idea which becomes the key to Knol project is to push out the author to the front", that, the engineering charge vise President of Google, the man bar (Udi Manber) the personexpressedwith "Unlike the book and the news story and scientific dissertation and the like, Web evolved without the norm that establishing it clearly writes author name. Knol concerning the topic of specification (the word, Knol when it is name of this project, simultaneously, means also the individual Web page where the commentary of each topic is published), in kind of those which you think that the person who is searched for the first time concerning certain topic first would like to read would like to keep doing ", (the same person)

According to Google, as for Knol presently, there is a test stage of invitation person limitation. As for the same company, as for purpose of this project, you expressed that science and medical science and the geography, stopping to offer, information of the wide topic such as history and amusement it is. As for Manber, as for Google it added that compilation is not added to Knol altogether.

"We, the author applying your own reliance, have expected that the article which writes opinion and opinion gets together", that the same person. "Can write anyone the article freely. When plural Knol are drawn up concerning the same topic, it probably will be many. Competition of idea is good thing. When the test completes, Knol is opened completely, reaches the point where it can participate freely. Simply, you cannot expect that it becomes something whose all Knol quality are high, "

According to Manber, when the author agrees to the announcement publication to his own Knol, as for Google, you say that distributes "the considerable part of earnings" of that announcement to the author. In addition, with Knol, also the Web 2.0 tool to which the user can submit the comment and question, compilation and additional contents is offered.

Announcing the next generation CPU technology which supports Intel and green IT

Intel December 17th, up-to-date held the technical seminar "the Intel platform technical seminar 2007 which" announces CPU of the same company/platform technology. The shaker baud car which serves the Intel felloe and the microprocessor technology laboratory director in the corporate technology generalization headquarters of the United States Intel (Shekhar Borkar) the person the Noboru platform did in keynote presentation, explained the future CPU image and the next generation technology which actualizes green IT.

As for Intel CPU, 45nm (nano- meter) refining advances to production process in 2007, improvement is advanced to the extent to which also the number of transistors accumulates 80 hundred million. The same company in the future conformed to Moore's law, it is the policy of promoting the production process reformation of CPU 2 years, but according to Borkar, you say that improvement pace of extent performance and the electrical efficiency where refining advances knocked down slow.

On the other hand, depending upon application TFLOPS (tera- FLOPS) it is designed in such a way that computing efficiency of level is required, improvement of continuous CPU efficiency and low electric power consumption conversion becomes the focus of future engineering development as Intel. The fact that Borkar shows then, is the multiple core conversion of further CPU.

Borkar listed CPU of 22nm production process to example, when 12 cores/48 cores/144 cores and changing the number of cores at the same tip/chip size, announced the relative data of total performance. According to that, when two applications are processed in parallel, compared to 48 cores/144 cores, the result that was shown 12 cores whose efficiency per core is high throughput are higher. But, the number of applications which process in parallel becomes 4 or more when, from, when the method which increased the number of cores is related to the performance improvement of altogether, Borkar explained.

"Rather than improving one core from this, throughput improvement with the total with multiple core conversion becomes important", (Borkar)

In addition, as for Borkar, introducing the economical electrical effect which is obtained by the fact that electric power is controlled finely in every core. "Full it makes the core work which is, a certain core while by the fact that finely electric power it controls each core, improving, can control electric power consumption (Borkar) e.g., it makes work with 70%,". In addition, work of the core which becomes feverish excessively was stopped, also hopping function between the core which makes operation seamless continue and laminating technology etc. of the tip/chip which actualizes the acceleration of the memory bus, were introduced to another core by Borkar.

Borkar lastly, "must clear for further multiple core conversion, the topic is mainly left, but we even from now on continue to challenge as an engineer", that, directing to more engineering development, you talked the enthusiasm.

Releasing the test suite of the benchmark which appraises the energy efficiency of SPEC and the server

At the non profit-making enterprise which locates the headquarters in the United States, Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation which manages the development of the benchmark which server vendor each company uses (SPEC) around ahead, release did the test suite of the benchmark which in order to appraise the system in standard, designs energy efficiency.

Other than the principal server manufacturer, also Intel and AMD which are the powerful vendor of the x86 microprocessor participate in development of this benchmark. If it is decided that vendor each company which participates to development really adopts this benchmark, the user says that it becomes possible to compare the energy efficiency of the group of servers where the vendor differs.

This test suite which release is done is called sepc-power formallyonDecember 11th. As for the staff of SPEC this summer, the same test suite was declared "release it does within year", that.

As for the benchmark developer of SPEC, "rather than always showing the highest performance, the enterprise which you think that the person who shows the performance which at low energy cost it can be satisfied is good has increased, this benchmark was born as the result", that it has explained.

Furthermore, the American protection of the environment agency (EPA), individual grade standard "Energy Star" is decided as a part of the program which decides the upper limit of the electric power consumption in data center,, but the conception of SPEC and EPA competition it is not something which is adjusted, both have tackled being joint to the energy consumption problem of data center from last year.

The United States Hewlett-Packard (HP) with the senior performance engineer, Claus D tar participates to benchmark development as a patsy of SPEC sub-committee (Klaus-Dieter Lange) the person Energy Star of EPA, is estimate that it becomes something which resembles with the benchmark of SPEC. The same person "with HP has used the benchmark of SPEC already in the server of the respective company. You say also EPA probably will adopt immediately our results ".

Other than HP, also Dell, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, IBM and Sun Microsystems etc. participate to the development of SPECpower_ssj2008.

This benchmark CPU of the server, creates the Java based application workload in order to move the system component of cash and memory etc., from stand by measures the electricity consumption quantity at each utilization stage to system resource 100% busy condition. According to the development authorized personnel of the test suite, you say that it is the schedule where in the future also workload of type other than application job is added.

The Lawrence Berkeley national laboratory (LBNL) with the research worker, May which does advising EPA concerning the energy problem of data center (Jonathan Koomey) as for the person, "because there was no expedient which compares the energy efficiency of the system which so far differs, as for the point that, it is big advance you can obtain the actual measurement data," you say, appraise the benchmark of SPEC high.

According to the research Koomey, approximately 1,230 hundred million kilowatt hours (kWh) with, 76% it rose in 2010, you call the electric power which the server in the world consumes in 2005 that 2,160 hundred million kWh ago. In addition, that rise of the electric power consumption quantity is most remarkable it has reported that coal thermal power generation to be wide is the countries of the Asia Pacific region which has spread.

Desktop environment is maintained with transmission of hypothetical application

The shrinking lap contract which you consider that it agreed to specification permission by the fact that the package software is opened died. Age of seat license agreement of the end user it has been about to close the curtain. The future enterprise desktop the computing stack which customizes making use of application imagination conversion, probably reaches the point where it transmits in the subscription base.

Of course, the writers specialists many years continued to mean the same thing from before. Is, but now, technology finally overtook vision. The user probably means to inform the separation to the conventional desktop license agreement of Microsoft. By the fact that Softricity which possesses application hypothetical conversion platform "SoftGrid" is purchased, Microsoft moved last scene in the subscription based computing strategy which covers long time.

If SoftGrid is used, also all rich client applications of the same company which "Microsoft Dynamics" and "Microsoft Games" is included you imagine convert in addition to Office application, the streaming you reach the point where it can transmit, . These applications are transmitted through Web, without being troubled in problem of configurations management of difficult license agreement and, while it is the rich client.

From effect of this application imagination conversion, Microsoft in the near future probably means to recommend SoftGrid strongly as one of application distribution methods. When it has the installation CD of Office of old version, it is to try not to release. It is the expectation where in each case eBay value of the appearance is attached hugely.

When this happens, the fact that it suffers a large blow is VMware, is thought of the writer. The same company has been about probably to maintain the configurations management with the hypothetical machine, but, it is kind of something which as for this square it tries it will be and to bury the round hole with the post. The idea of the hypothetical desktop was bad idea 10 years ago, but under present circumstance furthermore it became bad ones. The same company should devote to data center.

Intelligent function has network below

Rule of Internet is no more than 2 handle 3. The one of them is something where "leaving the terminal is made smart network as dam". In other words, the burden where network there does not know at all concerning the information which flows, processes the packet it is the case that it has been pushed to the server and the client. This architecture to be good functioning did from the birth of TCP/IP approximately over 30, but 30 years keep changing largely from this.

That former times, there were many legitimate reasons in designating network as the dam. As for the main reason, are network technology of that time and efficiency of the processor. At one time the Ethernet hub being very simple, had almost not considered in security. As for the rooter as for packet inspection of the level which only the efficiency which can send extremely the little cord/code it has, is deep even the concept it was not born.

But network started having intelligence. QoS, the fire wall and the layer 3 switch etc. security of TCP/IP network and made the improvement of performance possible.

It has been about that impetus probably will be given to making intelligent in today and the network where acceleration of evolution and the processor of network technology advances. When we assume that you inspect all packet between giga bit interface, should communicate do it should send traffic to some direction it can decide, it reached the point where at wire speed.

Problem with respect to security probably will continue us seductively even from this

Security of enterprise IT in the future 5? It probably is either one whether 10 years it maintains the present disastrous state, or furthermore deteriorates of. May become rather distant future thing to be improved dramatically.

The new security measure product appears probably will be one after another even from now on, but the writer, asserts that every one is crushed. The offender repeating the hacking as sort you think until now, being arrested be fixed is. How even with the intention of raising thorough defense package, the board is overlooked by all means there.

When the victim even excessively becomes many, it is the expectation where the movement that emerges it will cancel fundamental cause. The fact that it is increased on the at that time probably is anonymous characteristic of Internet. Most problems of Internet security have originated in this anonymous characteristic excluding encoding which designates secret retention as purpose. In other words, if certification is used in all exchanging, it is the problem which is solved. As the computer itself and various hardware, the certification of OS and application is improved, it should have tried to be able to certify thoroughly someone transmitted which network packet.

As for certification of the end user 2 element certification probably become main current. Financial sight such as online bank and stocks transaction sight reaches the point where the token is used for 2 element certification, in addition, most Government agencies reach the point where this human identification with biometrics (organism certification) in order to receive service is required.

The computer and the network device probably reach the point where it is identified under mechanism of reliance securely. The addressee of the network packet reaches the point where all network packets and connection can be pursued to the transmission origin.

For that, it probably means to install the tip/chip which has certification function in the computer and the device, but the people who privacy fear are done probably will show strong resistance. But enterprise and government, by this tip/chip "pinpoint the criminal of net crime by all means", that if you promise, it is the expectation which can obtain the approval of the consumer. It seriously considers privacy, the people who to the last oppose to the built-in of the tip/chip construct that people private Internet and should have continued to utilize with while it is an in illegal state the present way.

On the one hand, with Internet which is surrounded with the safe fence, certification extensively, it becomes impossible for the offender to finish to escape. If secure this human identification mechanism actualizes, the hacking which is malice is not agreeable comparatively as an expedient of money-making already. Feeling at rest, it utilizes Internet, privacy exchange is condition.

Technology trend estimate [ medium compilation ] of enterprise computing 15 territory

The sky being something of the children ─ ─ such type which cleans the automobile, are thought the machine and the room which it flies, now anyhow, perhaps the day when it becomes actual ones comes. But the fact that it presents with this manuscript is not the fortune-telling of this kind of not applying . Estimate "of the technology which comes next" is shown in regard to 15 territories of enterprise computing, present technology as a base. Also those which come off it probably will be in, but when if thinking of the future image of enterprise computing, it becomes the help which deepens argument with you have asked.

New York the office document format is close decision whether ODF whether Open XML

While the argument regarding the common file format of the office document continues, American New York is prompt, it is the schedule which it decides the XML based office document format which system for the whole IT of the state Government agency is adopted, ODF (Open Document Format for XML) with Open XML (OOXML) either one.

It is the schedule which with of New York, whether or not the same state should adopt the document type of specification, requests general opinion, concerning as for opinion collection to December 28th is continued. According to the same state, you say that it is the thought of deciding future policy with the opinion which is obtained here as a reference.

The New York national assembly had requested directing to the guaranty of in-between position and interoperability of the vendor regarding the compilation of the electronic filing document/maintenance/access, the August this year, melody May which is CIO and technology Bureau Chief of the same state very (Melodie Mayberry-Stewart) vis-a-vis the person, the same state how should tackle, in order to collect information/opinion widely.

In addition to New York, also states such as Massachusetts, Minnesota and Texas, examine the adoption of specific document type to the IT system of the Government agency.

Concerning the common file format of the office document, the argument whether ODF it should adopt which of Open XML, it is expected that also 2008 continues, but you can call 2007 that it was difficult 1 year, for both camps.

The United States Microsoft tried to hasten the standardization process of Open XML this year making use of standardization group ECMA, but International Organization for Standardization (International Organization for Standardization: ISO) Has dismissed the standardization with the same mechanism to the September this year. Complaint rushed in vis-a-vis this time, at last stage of standardization approval, in the insistence of Microsoft it tries arranging the favorable person in the important post, probably to carrying poll to profitable direction.

On the one hand, the ODF camp even with, the propulsion of ODF the economic organization OpenDocument Foundation which is established to purpose withdraws the support to ODF to October, CDF (Compound Document Format) turns to support.

2007 end of year presently, the major vendor of the United States IBM, the United States Sun Microsystems and the United States Google etc. boosts ODF, but Microsoft has propelled Open XML as still.

Besides the fact that IBM and Solid of in memory DB vendor purchase - - were called Oracle and MySQL, influence to the DB vendor

The United States IBM December 21st, the vendor of in memory database, announced the purchase of the United States Solid Information Technology. Solid the rival of IBM, MySQL (Sweden) is the close partner.

The in memory database, housing the data in memory, from the fact that it handles, usual disk based DBMS compared to operates to high speed. Because of this, very high speed such as call routing and bond transaction with the telephone network you are proud of high popularity in the field which is required processing. Famous enterprise such as American Cisco Systems and Germany Siemens, Swedish TeliaSonera and Finnish Nokia has connected name in the customer list of Solid.

As for IBM the same day, it announced that it is the schedule which concludes the contract with Solid 2008 1st quarter, but it did not make clear concerning the purchase amount. IBM have assumed that real time data access performance can be added to the database of the respective company, with the purchase of Solid. Furthermore, the United States Oracle which is the rival of IBM purchased TimesTen of in memory database vendor 2 years ago.

When contract concludes, because the high performance the independence of Solid which develops the transaction engine is lost in the one for database of MySQL, it is seen that it becomes the big wound, for MySQL. 2 years ago, Oracle purchased Innobase which developed the MySQL transaction engine whose at that time popularity is highest.

Oracle "InnoDB" the license continues to provide also after the purchasing to MySQL, but by the fact that Innobase is purchased, MySQL started searching the vendor which becomes substituting. The 1 Tsuga, it participated in the storage engine recognition program of MySQL, it was Solid which open source edition of the database engine release is done in for MySQL.

Whether or not the data server charge vise President of IBM, (Arvind Krishna) the person continues and develops the engine of MySQL concerning declaration was avoided. "It is not the stage which still you comment. Privately there is no especially prejudice, but developing the engine of result and MySQL where both corporations examined possibility can partly due to the fact that it judges that it is meaningless, ", that the same person.

With say, MySQL the individual transaction engine to be in the midst of developing, in the future it is the expectation which weakens the degree of dependence to the partner. The engine of the respective company development which is called "Falcon", is seen that it is loaded onto "MySQL 6.0" of general release schedule onto 2008 latter half.

IBM had exchanged Solid and partner contract from the time before. Purchasing, when by the fact that you place under direct controlling, it can raise the competitiveness for "Oracle TimesTen" Krishna points out. "Competing with Oracle, when it is, you have been convinced the field which it can win", (the same person)

"We want the existing customer of Solid feeling at rest. IBM which has abundant financial ability and development power keeps supporting securely ", that Krishna emphasizes. In addition, as for the same person "to conclusion of a contract 3? 12 weeks it is required, but you think "that we would like to conclude as urgently as possible, that you say. Furthermore, the purchase of Solid when this year it becomes 12th acquisition for IBM, is thing.

2008, the strategic topic which Google holds - - turning point of establishment 10th anniversary is received, challenge of the continuation rival can

Until the United States Google into these 10 years from plain research project of the Stanford University in the world develops to the most famous brand, IT industry major Microsoft competes it became existence.

Google which is established cell gay both people enters the year of turning point, establishment 10th anniversary at next year. In the future the same company, is thought that it embarks, on various projects such as television service and accessible online service in medical information of the individual, but doing idly, you do not enter. As for most important topic of next year, it is not to be unable to threaten the dominant position in the online announcement market, the challenge of the various rivals to be able to retreat.

The digital media of the United States IDC/the entertainment program charge director, car stain (Karsten Weide) as for the person, "most as for the topic which it should take precedence, it is diversification of revenue source for Google", that it points out, 99.1% of the sale it sounds the alarm bell in vulnerability of the same company which depends on search announcement.

Weide has listed the announcement which is included in the online video contents as the immediate threat of Google, (online commercial). As for the same company purchasing YouTube, was, in order to strengthen video announcement business, but this market which dawn is fluxional as still, you say that you do not know yet whether the enormous profit someone makes the hand.

Because there is also a possibility illegal ones and plagiarism etc. being included in the contents, the advertiser is hesitation in the announcement to YouTube. In addition also problem of piracy, has become the primary factor which keeps distance the commercial contents provider. "Perhaps, Weide, solution is found in next year, but it reaches the point where really it can solve until, for a while time probably is necessary", you say.

When time is required for the problem solving too much, perhaps it becomes the existence where the power where the video on demandsight " which presently is beta stage and so on is new threatens Google.

Already one big topic is the Mobile announcement market for Google. Portable telephone development platform "Android" of the same company started favorable, but in this field Yahoo of the rival! It is thought that offensive posture is assumed. For the present Google is more dominant in the point of the media and the like which, it covers, but Yahoo! It is the powerful enterprise which is proud of the gross sales of several dozen hundred million dollars, the share in the Mobile Internet market (25%) it has competed.



Google has unfolded Microsoft and competition even in field of health care tool. The prototype "of Google Health", it is designed in such a way that it can offer central of healthy information of the user, if this person desires, also it is possible to possess also that information with the doctor and the family. But, with the original Web developer, the Phillip connected plug which manages which chases the trend of Google (Philipp Lenssen) the person, does not know clearly whether "Google offers this service in some kind of way. This service risk of privacy is too large. The hacking it is done in someone, when medical record of the user leaks, the damage quite is large ", that it points out.

In addition as for Google, it is thought that, plural projects such as browser expansion " the open source which it tries to be able to use the upgrade and Web application of the service "" which opposes to"Office" of Microsoft even in state of offline and development of the new social networking platform are promoted. Already, the same company being the Arizonan state university, has done the test of the social networking software, when release it does in the near future formally, there is also rumor.

Furthermore, there is a possibility of embarking on also television service in a some way. Details are unclear, but the same company has employed the team of the software engineer in order to develop the service which corresponds to the television.

In addition, it seems that it has for also the business enlargement in China. Google has done the test of the new home page in China, also the input editor in order to convert the letter which is input with the keyboard of the European-American styles to Chinese has done release. As for the same company, concerning the role of the respective company in China, "information of the world is rearranged, everyone accesses, the fact that it tries to be able to utilize" has explained, but in order not to impair the mood of the Chinese government, concerning the contents, independence it seems that is regulated. As for Lenssen, ", as for kind of flattering in the Chinese government as for thinking that we would not like to do to be left over, it probably is certain, but while for the time being the same company has recognized the necessity, it is the expectation which maintains present attitude", that the viewpoint has been expressed.

It should decide use policy in utilization of the smart phone at the workplace

The employee IT section of enterprise supports his own radio-cassette tape recorder with is the expectation which is not thought. If that it is, also support of the smart phone of the private possession where the function which does not have relationship in work such as MP3 prayer and digital camera is loaded should not be expected.

Roberta J. Fox the president designates Canadian Ontario state as base is served thinks so. Fox Group Consulting is the enterprise which undertakes support business from the system of old style up to the next generation solution concerning audio/data/coal center technology.

Fox there is also the experience which arranges the use policy of the smart phone in Fox Group of the self who holds 15 employees says that there are times when we would like to advise for the enterprise which examines measure not only measure concerning the use of the Mobile device which continues to increase at the workplace, in enterprise network can occur concerning the risk which. The advice, has common sense of the suitable quantity both parties of employee side and IT section side have by the fact that, the public person does not access the smart phone of the employee, using that, until to enterprise and/or and/or unfathomed damage, does not give with the possibility kind of what is said happening (you lose with it does not go completely, it means) being possible to decrease.

Fox expressed as follows. "Vis-a-vis IT section, owe also the responsibility for the smart phone of private possession it is unreasonable story, because - - those it is not property of enterprise. When it is necessary for working, if is not, the fan key which for example I own privately IT section must support the portable telephone and the camera, the reason, is the expectation which completely is not ".

As for of the high-techmarket surveycompany, as for growth of the telephone market although it remains in one column level, as for the sale of the smart phone of the OS functional attachment increase is continued with the spirit which exceeds annual percentage rate 30% in the world in 5 years, you see that share in the telephone market is expanded more and more. In addition according to the investigation of the investigation company is announcedseveralmonths ago, nearly 50% of the people who work at enterprise passing the time of 20% or more at the place where it is far from the desk, you say that more and more work hour with Mobile environment increases.

Those where compilation of use policy is recommended are not just Fox. You recommend that enterprise does the procedure that the DanDearingfog beam which serves product management/marketing charge vice president with Bill Hughes and are the chief analyst of In-Stat, it decides the model which specifying, should support the employee who has the necessity to use the smart phone decides use policy.

The possibility of RIA which buries the opening of desktop/Web

Present application development is being divided by two with big extinction. On the one hand desktop application, already as for one side it is Web application. And, that several dozen vendors probably will enter, there is a field which is competitive in that rift. RIA several years, may extend rapidly future, (Rich Internet Application) is.

While the desktop application camp, showing the attitude which opposes promptly, the resource of the local machine full utilizing, complicated user interface it reached the point where it colors with beautiful decoration. But as for this in addition to the fact that installation is necessary, in order the other software not to compete, you must consider in compatibility. Especially, there are times when the case of update problem occurs in compatibility it is big demerit.

Vis-a-vis this, Web application installation being unnecessary, in addition to always utilizing in up-to-date state, can guarantee also compatibility. Defect the response to become sluggish tend thing, is the place such as the thing which is the possibility job being discontinued with problem of thing and the server side which have restriction in operation method of user interface.

RIA is the attempt which it tries to combine just these two merits. As the response is designated as high speed, in order to be able to complicate user interface according to need, the majority of interfaces is put client side. Because of that, there are times when installation job becomes necessary, but usually is just the execution time engine, as for this in addition to the fact that size is small, those of automatic update correspondence are the majority.

It starts RIA itself generally from the remote server, in many cases, intermittent connection is possible. For example, when being necessary to utilize the database, when the local machine is cut off from Internet, the local database starts. For the second time when it is connected, application the local database takes the same period of the central database.

As for me, application in the world is displaced with does not think either the minute dust in RIA. In the future the use where desktop application and Web application are suited is a certain expectation. Me as for those where you can say with self-confidence, as for RIA when burying the opening of desktop application and Web application, the technology which standardizes all application at least as for one is in thing, and final it reaches the point where more important role is carried out it appears probably to be.

It cannot judge with present time whether the technology is some kind of ones. Perhaps the causing れ which is the technology which exists already or, it is something which is born from now on. But that the writer thinks whether it does not mean that within 5 years that form becomes clear.

The combination of plural OSS promoting the innovation

Describing the software simply, stopping it is not is to offer in the business model of today and the software, it constructs that, as the available system also maintaining the system after the working is included. The open source movement is something such as that just.

Regarding the former open source movement, there was a tendency which develops the software which resembles to the commercial business software. But in the future it probably will face to the direction which develops new ones. Freedom of the open source it pulls out just the part which is needed with, it makes in new application combining each one and by the fact that it changes, it reaches the point where period to market throwing can be shortened.

The change which first is viewed to is there not to be general purpose OS for the server. Although we just would like to develop the database server, the application server and the Web server, the fact that it drags to the meaningless functional component which holds many problems in the aspect of security and and is turned is the is.

On the one hand, it is OS which Linux helix seems. It is superior very this as the functional component seeing. New enterprise it reaches the point where it can build up Advanced Capability with the new technique that by the fact that the open source is used, portion and the necessary other open source of the Linux component are combined.

Already, combining the various software components while, there is also an enterprise which has started designing Linux with the kind of constitution which can develop the solution which responds to purpose. With the open source, from the antiquated tradition where you call software stack of operation guarantee being completed, it is the case that it can move to the solution of integrated type truly conforms to the needs of specification.

The license of the open source makes the innovation promote in this kind of way. The market probably will be accustomed to piercing the no finally this is disturbed vis-a-vis the proprietary license model. The freedom which it reforms is highest ones in all freedom. The cord/code of the open source which is the material for that this freedom is the expectation which is pulled up to the dimension which past is not.

The user reaches the point where fee is paid to those which have value truly

The software fee model in IT industry is changing largely. With spread of the subscription the user probably reaches the point where the product is appraised appropriately. American edition

The fact that it comes next in the territory of the business model will be the subscription, 10 years, both of the IT vendor and the customer large becomes popular probably will be. Simply, without either a little troublesome aspect it is not.

A little it will try looking back at history. The business model past 10 years, fluctuated in all fields of the world economy. Internet gave leadership and transparency to the consumer, offered the place where anyone can compete to equality. In the field of IT, it reached the point where the package software receives the challenge from the service and open source.

The roots of the subscription, in order Franklin's age, fixed cost and the variable expense where at that time the publisher is necessary for printing (the printer, the paper, the ink and bookbinding) to hold down to minimum, go back to adopting prepayment system. After that, the telephone and the cable television, Netflix (movie rental of net transmission) to with it kept being succeeded.

Next, the variable expense where high-speed Internet depends on the development of the software/integration was made to decrease, Salesforce.com and the like proved the effectiveness of SaaS and showed. On the other hand, the user paid huge fee in installation, reached the point where more and more dissatisfaction is held in the introduction model of the former software license type that furthermore from the next time it becomes unable to buy from only that vendor, ("shaving and the changing blade", or even "the drug dealer" model you can say). If cost decreases with the subscription, as for the user in order to continue to raise the value of the software in the vendor, it reaches the point where pressure can be applied.

Then, what troublesome aspect? The subscription like the royalty program metallurgy molten commodity of the consumer, probably means and to keep complicating much specializing. Per seat month amount 75 dollar the simple clear fee system which was said keeps being subdivided all needs and because it corresponds to the customer segment. It can give to royalty the proper collateral, as for service level being segmented, it can adopt the system like futures option.

As a merit, assuming, that the subscription about the same as license agreement became complicated, it is to be able to grasp accurately the license compared to maintains transparency, how much pays in something.

It ended the times when the vendor for developing the new customer entertains in golf and the festival. In order to be able to acquire the customer where the model which succeeds from now on, decreasing the business person in charge, directs the allowance amount to product development, pays proper subscription fee more, it is to stress.

Searching the cost and the stomach which do not come to the surface it meets, the negotiation which continues meanderingly does not need anymore. It is Henry Ford second coming. It is the payment uninformed to say the fit amount vis-a-vis high value.

Technology trend estimate of enterprise computing 15 territory [ the second volume ]

The sky being something of the children ─ ─ such type which cleans the automobile, are thought the machine and the room which it flies, now anyhow, perhaps the day when it becomes actual ones comes. But the fact that it presents with this manuscript is not the fortune-telling of this kind of not applying . Estimate "of the technology which comes next" is shown in regard to 15 territories of enterprise computing, present technology as a base. Also those which come off it probably will be in, but when if thinking of the future image of enterprise computing, it becomes the help which deepens argument with you have asked.

The reason of 10 iPhone is not faced to business use

IPhone of the United States Apple created the very important whirlwind simultaneously with 2007 June sale in Mobile industry, became the head of the popularity Mobile device. When ever since, we would like to utilize iPhone which has been utilized with private even with business, the user which is appealed to the IT section of the respective company does not cut off after.

Whether or not iPhone it is useful as a business tool, it cannot judge with present time. But, if around ahead the report which the American investigation company Forrester Research announces is read, with, iPhone as for the possibility of succeeding as a business tool it seems the low way.

As for Forrester from the reason of 10 below, under present conditions as for enterprise iPhone should be introduced at least, unless, it has advised.

It cannot encode 1 data

According to Forrester, you say that the function which encodes the file and the disk is not loaded in iPhone. In order to access the data, as for setting the password although it is possible, a change of the password/management is left to the user. It is impossible for IT section of enterprise to apply password policy.


The wireless sink of 2 pushes mail and the calendar is not supported

If it is the Mobile terminal which is utilized as the business tool, as for the push mail (when it is transmitted in mailbox of user, mail which at once is transmitted to terminal) it is the function which cannot be missed.

Through IMAP and SMTP, Lotus Notes of Exchange Server of Microsoft and IBM it can synchronize iPhone. But, for that it is necessary to add modification even on server side, or to purchase the separate gateway product.

In addition, iPhone does not correspond to either the wireless sink of PC. Modification ahead calendering and communication PC same period in order to be able to point, other way, it is necessary to purchase the USB sink cable which Apple has sold.


Unless 3 guarantees are abandoned, application of the third party cannot be executed

Apple has declared that the software development kit (SDK) which, develops the application for iPhone, is released to the third party vendor to 2008 2 end of the month. But at present time, application of the third party vendor make is not supported.

To tell the truth, if the device component of the specification which is loaded onto iPhone "is altered", application of the third party vendor make can be utilized. But when this it does, the guarantee of Apple becomes invalid.

4 remote operations is not possible

It means that the function where it can lock terminal handling with remote, can eliminate the data that it is most important with management of use of the Mobile terminal is loaded. These functions are not loaded onto iPhone. The operational management software which designates BlackBerry and Windows Mobile of the smart phone and Symbian of the portable telephone as the object is many offered. But, Apple does not offer either the software such as that. Furthermore as for Forrester, the operational management software of iPhone correspondence as for release being done, has estimated that from 2008 mid term it is latter term.

There are no 5 physical keyboards

As for interface and the hypothetical keyboard of the touch screen, the appearance is good. But, it is unsuitable to E-mail and the power user which utilizes instant frequently. The hypothetical keyboard, noting, 1 letter each has the necessity to input. Speaking clearly, you become tired. Time is required for striking the E-mail 1 than something too much.

6 service areas are limited, there are no choices of the communication carrier

The country which presently can utilize iPhone is just the United States/England/France/Germany. Furthermore, only via the monopolistic carrier, it cannot utilize. The case where the business user takes a business trip other than these 4 countries, it cannot use iPhone. With this being called "unsuitability by business use", probably there is no manner.

7 price is too high

It was reduced also 200 dollars call 2007 fall, as for the fee, "substance 400 dollar + telephone call charge + data communication charge", by comparison with the portable telephone (with the fee plan) which presently is marketed markedly it is high. When generally it lumps together introduces at enterprise, discount for the enterprise and service plan is set, but Apple or AT&T which is the monopolistic communication carrier, do not offer the plan such as that.

It is the terminal of 8 1st generations

Is not to limit to iPhone, but it just appeared, there is various troubles in the portable terminal. Forrester points out the point below as "the weak point" of iPhone.

  • Time is required for activation
  • Drive time and life of the battery are short
  • Sound quality conventional seeing
  • Data rate is slow

There are no batteries for 9 exchange

Industry observation muscle in the near future, has estimated that the third party vendor sells the battery for exchange. But, the battery of iPhone is exchanged, it is necessary to disassemble the terminal, it is not the case that everyone can exchange with ease.

When 10 iPhone are suitable for business use, it is not proven

With the major vendor, the enterprises which iPhone full are supported are few, (excluding Apple). When enterprise decides the purchase of the portable terminal, the introduction case of other companies and designating the advice of the industry analyst as the judgement material are general. But, Apple has not announced the introduction case and the support data of enterprise, altogether.



The wireless network which evolves

Also the Mobile device and the Mobile application which the area which can utilize wireless network expands, is new probably will be large number appear. It is expected that the service which is offered, inside area of specification such as Wi-Fi is complete. Service such as media contents, search, social networking and shopping may become "default" even with Mobile environment.

Spread of green IT

It will continue to 2007, green IT probably will be is observed also 2008. Especially, as for 2008, environmental problem and worldwide recession become large problem, each national government and enterprise, the consumer places in the circumstance which it cannot avoid thinking of this problem seriously. At that time, in the Government agency, it probably means that EU carries out direct role.

The international hacker group secretly maneuvers

There is a possibility the hacker group which designates China as base increasing, the Government agency of the foreign country and the incident which invades the network of the defensive system developing into international problem. The strictly confidential document of state secret class leaks and, if becomes the kind of development to prosecute the suspect at national level, trouble there is also danger which develops into "dispute".

The OEM license offer of United States Microsoft and Windows XP re-extension

The United States Microsoft at the beginning, the OEM license offer of Windows XP had assumed that it ends with 2008 1 end of the month, but "strong request" was received from the enterprise user, the policy of extending OEM license offer was set forth to 2008 6 end of the month. This extension is renewed for the second time, finally to 2008 end of year may come to the point of being extended. Enterprise does not think has avoided the introduction of Windows Vista with intentionally, but during 2008 seniority halves, it accelerates you cannot think the movement to of Windows Vista at least from Windows XP.

Web 2.0 circumstance of enterprise - - 2008 real application remote possibility?

As for Web 2.0 it probably becomes the technology which cannot be missed in each case, for enterprise computing. But, that if you say whether that becoming actuality whether it is 2008 so it is improbable. Until the collaboration technology such as ブログ and RSS feed and Wiki it reaches the point where it can utilize enterprise in earnest, it is expected that still suitable time is required.

The Oliver young which is the analyst of the United States Forrester Research (Oliver Young) as for the person, as for the match to Web 2.0 technology of enterprise it points out "experimental phase" that yet it has not escaped. "As for the match to of Web 2.0, under present conditions experimental ones are many, as for most enterprises without putting out the result are. If you restate, Web 2.0 shows real value with the business scene, it has not reached, is actual condition ", (the same person)

As for Web 2.0 technology showing power being some kind of scene? For example, at the kind of enterprise which tens of thousands human thing employees disperse to plural bases, as for the employee efficiently work jointly with former method almost it is impossible. Directly the face also together meeting perhaps probably is unreasonable. Under the circumstance such as that the collaboration technology of Web 2.0 is useful.

The commentator of technology industry/with the lighter/writer, pole ジリン also chief editor has been served in Network World American edition (Paul Gillin) as for the person, "for example with the case which has the necessity for the multitude to share information, the fact that E-mail is used is the worst expedient", that you say. The same person, thinks that with the case such as that Wiki technology maximum brings the plus effect.

In case of Wiki, the work space of the white paper is set first, individual the employee topic of project and deciding policy of operation and the participant etc. is possible. If as for Young, the extent which with exchanging the E-mail makes the mailbox full, when Wiki directly is more efficient, it emphasizes.

The fact that it is promising in Web 2.0 technology is not just Wiki. Promising future can expect also the RSS feed. According to Young, with a certain legal office, in those where has progress of judgment the attorney verify, it is not the tabulation and something where the document is sent with E-mail, you say that the RSS feed is used.

While such as that, also the software of the open source which supported Web 2.0 technology has increased. It enters only the enterprise of part, but also the case which contributes to the retrenchment of development cost started appearing.

But, calling to Web 2.0 based collaboration and one mouth, it is not the case that if it may install the corresponding software simply. "You use largest obstacle, and in does the employee who depends on the E-mail which is accustomed, make the how new tool use?", (Gillin) with it means saying.

In addition according to Young, you say that you cannot discover business value in the tool whose administrative position class is new, the case which cannot obtain the fund whose Web 2.0 introduction project is sufficient as a result you are many.

In addition, in new technology also security problem of the accessory feels concern with Web 2.0. In a certain investigation which Forrester executes, security measure of Web 2.0 correspondence without being sufficient at most enterprises is shown. For example as for this tendency, the employee at the office application other than business use (for the individual for SNS the software) especially it is remarkable with the case which has been utilized.

Young although data sharing of the employee becomes easy depending upon the introduction of Web 2.0, when also the possibility the employee abusing the data increases urges note. "When coping with this problem, enterprise should begin from strengthening the permission and the compliance etc.. In addition, whether or not the joint ownership possible data in order to be able to judge, also education of the employee is the importance ", (Young)

It emphasizes that taking the balance of the work the same person saying, being contrary furthermore while building the technical barrier in order to prevent data leakage, that gives the opportunity of free joint job and the choices of the collaboration tool to the employee, without providing excessive restriction is required.

Also Gillin is the same opinion as Young, concerning the anxiety with respect to security, but the future prospect Gillin is more optimistic than Young. As for Gillin, reliability of the Web 2.0 tool improves from this, adjusts to that and you think that spread of the tool advances. According to the same person, it introduces the application of the social networking, in a manner of speaking it means that it constructs "inside the company Facebook the employee" that there is also an enterprise which is in the midst of examining.

As for Gillin "being complicated, in the reason that, Intranet was not so far observed management is difficult," that you express, very Web 2.0, the case where Intranet is utilized with the business scene you insist that it becomes help.

The venture capitalist who again takes interest to the open source

The venture capitalist (the fact that starts to be to look at VC) first open source was time2000. And it could repel the bubble, concerning the open source, almost the impression of the extensive failure that color remained densely from all VC excluding extremely part you face. But, here several years, utilization of the open source software increases, from the fact that the open source enterprise which continues has supplied success, interest of the investor again has increased. Presently, to be drawing the investor to the open source, height and commercialization of the possibility progressive idea being born it is fast, if and it is former, scale being too small, you say that it is the power which can develop the niche kind of market which cannot put out the profit. It is found that if basic important matter of the enterprise which succeeds has been even the enterprise which is based on the open source is worthy of to sufficient examination as a investment outlet, that the investor you think.

Clearlyit has been visible to managing director Lisa Lambert you take charge of the investment for the software solution with as VC increase where it aims for the acquisition of the opportunities of making investment that the interest for the open source is recovering. As for here several years "attaching to something, the open source has been entwined", that she says. As for one of the reasons where Intel Capital starts Open Source Incubator PROGRAM the excavation of the project may bear the profit ahead this as ahead financial offering, as a purpose, there is there. In addition, as for KevinHarveyit is the partner of venture enterprise , when of investment to open source enterprise is thought, "first there was resistance, but now as it is the very promising territory, you have considered", you say.


But still universal ones you cannot call interest to open source enterprise.Withthe joint establishment person , Steve Larsen it has the experience which starts the company of technical main leadership type many talks as follows. "The people of one constant which is not restricted by the conventional thought of assuming that, you search the patent which becomes the powerful barriers to entry in VC, there is a problem in regard to competition in utilization of the open source code are". But, as for Larsen, as for existence of such investor, it meaning that the partner who should correspond is recognized easily, you express for the starting a business house of the open source which seeks the subscriber, that it is favorable. Source to investment as for positive VC number because relative it is little still, the starting a business house already just inspects the investment announcement of a certain open source can find the latent subscriber. Because of that, it is the case that feel gradually without approaching it does not have at the venture investment company.

It is not that much difficult to find the reason where the acceptability for the open source has increased. "VC is not the case that you like new thing everything. Any new forcing things treatment are difficult, risk increases ", those where you say are of opensource VC. "It was not many so the example which so far, does well. It reached the point where the venture investment company shows considerable agreement in method of thinking where in here 2 years, it can revive the company even with the open source. Actually, the example such as that it is several ". JBoss, MySQL, Red Hat, XenSource and Zimbra etc. so are.

But, there is restriction as these examples, Lambert like this points out that. "Large majority of the open source product which matures is server based ones. In addition, large portion of maturity enterprise and new enterprise of the open source has put the center of activity on the server ". For the portable device and it is you can expect to the application of the cross platform investment, but as for the open source for the desktop still "the opportunity has not ripened", that as for her you see.
