Rise Of HTML5 Brings With It Security Risks
January 24, 2012 08:30 AM
HTML5 is the new "it" protocol on the Internet. Among other things, it is an alternative to Adobe's Flash for displaying content through a Web browser. No less an industry authority than the late Steve Jobs declared in 2010 that browsers on Apple devices such as the iPad would support HTML5 and not Flash. But as HTML5 gains wider adoption, some of its security flaws are beginning to get noticed, including the WebSocket specification that renders Web pages more quickly than does Flash.Microsoft System Center 2012 Revealed

Microsoft's System Center 2012, which we discussed in Microsoft's System Center 2012: Building A Private Cloud, is the latest attempt by a big vendor to bring private cloud to the masses. While there are many improvements to System Center, building a private cloud using anyone's software is far from easy. At Microsoft's private cloud reviewers' workshop, we got a peek at the sausage factory. There are a lot of components to configure, but Microsoft has done a good job of streamlining many of the processes.Microsoft's System Center 2012: Building A Private Cloud

Microsoft is beefing up its private cloud offering by enhancing existing modules in System Center 2012, adding an application controller that disconnects apps from the OS, an orchestration module that automates application and virtual machine deployment, and unified management tasks. Microsoft is also reducing System Center 2012's licensing options from 113 different combinations to two editions--a Standard edition and a Data Center edition. This is Microsoft's big move into private cloud, which should make it easier for enterprises to get into the game, but it is also a first step along a longer path in Microsoft's march to private cloud.Virsto Software Beefs Up Storage Hypervisor

Windows Server 8, the forthcoming followup to Microsoft’s Windows Server 2008 R2, sports what some may term revolutionary changes to how enterprises leverage their investments in storage. If one word could sum up what Windows Server 8 is all about, it would be "virtualization"--virtualization of servers, virtualization of desktops, virtualization of cloud services and last, but not least, virtualization of storage.Windows Server 8 Embraces Private Clouds

Microsoft's forthcoming Windows Server 8 promises to meld server technologies with services in the cloud--at least that is the theme that was presented by Microsoft’s Jeff Woolsey, the principal program manager lead for the Server and Cloud Division.Microsoft Systems Center: Poised for Takeoff?
September 14, 2011 03:54 PM
When one talks network and systems management tools, four companies come to mind: BMC, CA, HP and IBM. Should a fifth, Microsoft, be included? "Microsoft certainly has gained a lot of ground in the management space and now has a large, well-entrenched customer base," notes Mary Johnston Turner, research VP, enterprise system management software, at IDC.« Previous Page | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | Next Page »
