Tuesday, 2008-08-26, Copenhagen

Open source tools have been evolving to the era that enterprises are starting to use them in mission-critical tasks. Open source community has started working on three emerging areas, VOIP, CRM, and mobility, which brings more challenges to the commercial vendors. Linux is another striking example against Windows system.

Intel recently launched its new Centrino 2 platform which offers better performance at a low power consumption. Well, let’s wait and see what AMD says about it.

Cloud computing is also coming into the security market. In addition to all existing online virus –detection services, vendors are looking into the online-backup market. To put your files into the cloud may be the only safe thing if one cannot trust her/his own computer system. Companies like Webroot, HP Upline, and SOS Online Backup are in this field.
