Cleaning our Room with Cisco Wireless

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

I am now living with my sister. We are actually halfway round the world away from home. She transferred because of employment, while I followed because of my studies. It is my sister who is paying for my school expenses now, so I thought that it will be easier if we will live together. We are now occupying a small studio type apartment. Last week, because we realized that if one will define our room in a phrase, it will be “all wires and a bed”, we decided to buy a Used Cisco wireless router. This will hopefully lessen the wires going around the room, to make it look more of a room than the back of thirteen computer units placed side by side.

Actually, it was my sister’s boss who suggested that we buy a refurbished Cisco Wireless router, because it is much cheaper, considering my sister’s financial capacity. And my sister’s boss was right. We did not spend so much, but we got exactly what we wanted. It was a wise decision, I may say; or a good investment. It is not every day that we get across Cisco products as cheap as what we’ve got. Call it luck or whatever, but we are just thankful.

Huge Amount of Data Handled by a Single Disk Array

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Our company is depending on the files and documents saved on the computer system. Of course, with the company as large as ours, simple data storage such as flash drives and hard disk drives are not enough for the amount of data that we are handling.

I was informed by one of my colleagues that the company is using IBM Disk Arrays. I am aware that every staffs has their own documents that must be securely stored because of the company’s privacy. As far as I am concerned, I thought that the tons of documents require large storage. But to my surprise, they are only using one IBM storage equipment.

I was not expecting that all the data of the company can be saved in just one simple black box. I was so amazed that I take a look at it closer and began touching it. How can this simple tool manage all the documents? Well, IBM is well known for their top of the line products and services. They don’t stop in inventing and manufacturing newer and better products every now and then.

Stay Green

Monday, June 7th, 2010

It is a known fact that IT assets, devices and equipment can do more than just a short term harmful effect to Mother Nature if not disposed properly.  Every year, my city is faced with the same problem where to dispose the used computer devices and equipment and how to properly dispose them.  I worked in the environmental branch of the government and we are always hounded by the City Mayor of this particular environmental dilemma.

But that had completely changed when we were informed about a particular store/dealer that buys and resells Used HP Storage, excess IT assets and computer accessories.  The store/dealer has a legal and non-hazardous way of disposing these computer items.  They passed the federal and state law governing preserving the earth’s balance.

For the items that can still be refurbished and reused like HP Disk Storage, what they did was resell it and we were able to get profit out of that too.  We were able to lessen our worries in disposing the city’s excess IT assets in ways that we were able to maintain the nature’s balance and did not harm the planet and was able to save the city a few bucks and was even profitable too.

Opted for the Used Iseries Servers

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

If you are looking to open a business where you would have to install servers, then you should look into buying used servers to save you thousands over the cost of new ones. My buddy told me that he saved over fifty percent by buying some used iseries servers for his new law practice. I was shocked at the savings.

I remember when my company was just getting started and we had to choose a new server. We had been looking at the pseries servers but decided to go with the iseries instead. We paid full price because we were not smart enough to buy a used refurbished one like my buddy just did.

At least check out all of the computer stores around you and even check out some things online before making a decision on new or used. Some people may be able to afford the new prices, without batting an eye. I am not one of those people.

I do know that one of the new pseries servers will definitely cost you more than one of the used iseries servers these days. Good luck on you hunt for the perfect server, I hope you find it and it does not break the bank.

Tips for Choosing an Asset Management System

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

When looking at various types of asset tracking solutions, a number of considerations should come into play. Just as with buying a house or car, you want to choose the system that is going to benefit your business best. For example, barcode or other types of symbol scanners should be designed specifically for the size of company you own. For instance, if you own a small company, choosing a huge bundled package would be overkill. On the other hand, a large corporation would not benefit from an asset tracking software program developed for a small company.

The demands of your business need to be met, period. Additionally, the barcode system you choose should be user-friendly, something that takes little time to learn. With the right solution, you would be able to control and manage your product, knowing exactly what is being sold and what is not. With this information, adjustments in ordering, inventory, and pricing could be adjusted to improve performance. These systems should also be quick, allowing merchandise to move quickly, which means happier customers, thus more business.

Understanding your Memory Needs

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

When computers were first developed, memory consisted only of what was on hard drives. That meant whatever memory the computer came with was all you got. Over time, computers were designed with slots in which additional memory could be added. In today’s world of computers, adding memory to a laptop computer is generally easier than adding it to a desktop but it is a viable option in both cases. While you will need to determine your current memory and maximum allowable memory, you can also contact your manufacturer to see what other options exist. For instance, for Astro memory, PowerApp web memory, InfoPrint memory, or eMac memory, you would call Gateway to find out the possibilities.

Let us say you had a Gateway Liberty, Multimedia, or NS-7000 computer. The last thing you want to do is purchase any memory upgrade from an unreliable source. Sure, you might find a huge savings if you buy the memory through an online auction site such as eBay but by doing this, you are taking a risk. Additionally, avoid so-called “universal” memory solutions. Installing the wrong memory or bad memory is a sure fire way to have computer problems. For that reason, we always recommend you go directly to the manufacturer or a certified third-party retailer, ensuring you purchase a quality product backed by professional technical support.
