Users of apps, such as Oracle and Microsoft SQL server will benefit from database management, admin, cluster design and implementation, and high availability 'redundant' solutions.
Clients, who want up-to-the-minute information on their traffic, port status, CPU, available memory, hard disk drive utilization, and OS patch installation, can do so 24x7 via the Internet. A 24x7 on-site technical staff stands ready to support clients' enterprise and network hardware and software and handle any issue that comes up with direct action to solve the respective problem.

Look for a TELEHOUSE Data Storage Brand in Q4
TELEHOUSE will launch a new branded data storage product in Q4. It will be available to its NY and LA facilities' clients as a reasonably priced option designed to meet the escalating demand for more space and potential. Storage needs from 1G to 1T and from 1T up to 2T will form the pricing tiers.
TELEHOUSE will provide users of either tier with attached storage with RAID I configuration, archiving facilities running continuously on each network, and real-time monitoring of all archiving activities. The package will also have 24/7 monitoring of full hardware and system health and performance, capacity status, growth management updates, and preventative hardware alerts and maintenance.
The accessibility to scalable, reliable, secure data storage systems and capacity plus simple archiving/backup procedures lends itself to faster storage, duplication, and retrieval processes and to the elimination of potentially ruinous tape malfunctions, tape transportation, tape storage space and associated costs, and slow search times.

NTT Verio & Endai Worldwide Show Solutions to Improve Broadband Content Delivery
The September BREAKFAST ON BROADWAY seminar took a more specific look at broadband content delivery and the ability to create a high quality user experience. Attendees heard presentations by NTT Verio and Endai Worldwide.
NTT Verio, a fully-owned NTT Communications unit, operates a global IP (Internet Protocol) network and is the world’s largest operator of business Web sites. Their Director-Product Engineering, Wayne Lambert, discussed how a content delivery network can play a vital role in the connection between the user experience and the Internet's ability to offer unprecedented e-opportunities to reach new audiences, to provide brand representation, to insure user loyalty, and to avoid brand image erosion. Using various industry data sources, Lambert illustrated how important the user experience is and how to keep the Internet's unstable and unpredictable performance from damaging a business's brand with its end users. He also pointed out that as more Web content is added to the Internet, the potential for a slower end-user experience increases dramatically.
Endai Worldwide is a full service Internet marketing company and online advertising agency, offering clients marketing strategy, customizable turnkey technology services, and interactive advertising campaigns to increase traffic and attract and retain new customers. Andy Alexander, Senior Associate-Technology & Project Management, took an interactive approach to demonstrate how enhancing the online user experience is achieved through testing, and adhering to time proven principles. In a give and take with the audience he focused their attention on the need to consistently utilize core principles. The key principles he expounded on were relevancy and the need to present the right message to the right audience, usability through creating a flow of least resistance for the online consumer, and lastly, frequency via communications of relevant materials at expected intervals.
The next B on B'way will be October 20th with network security as the topic.

Industry
Waves
Air Waves...good wishes, God's speed and safe journey to my supplier of Coca-Cola from Japan, our own Koji Shikano, who is off to visit home. For those of you who have never tasted Japanese-made Coca-Cola, it is worth getting your hands on a chilled can, as it is sweeter than the US issue.
Event Waves the August C.P.E. event was a must for any continuity planning head. The entire agenda gets an A+, including their chocolate chip cookies [thanks Michele]. But real highlights for this writer were the presentations and Q&A sessions by NYC's OEM and the US Dept of Homeland Security. Contact events maven Michele Verdino about future dates.
Speaking of future dates, "Dancing Shoes" Messina is polishing 'em up as, believe it or not, October is around the corner, which means the WSTA guys and gals are already selecting the menu for their holiday event. Be there or be square....Thanks to resident 'sales zen master' Jim Hickey and his Time Warner Cable Business Services gang for their warm welcome and graciousness. Yes, once again we benefited from the use of their high tech meeting room. Hey, Jim now about that problem with my cable remote…….
People 'n Places Waves...George Hunt recently joined Mainline Information Systems, working out of their Jersey City office, where he will bring to play his wealth of experience gained at Big Blue. U 'da man, George...best wishes too!!....Check in with Capacity's Caitlin Gallup to hear about some exciting changes there.
Music Waves ...had the chance to hook up with my good friends from my music biz' days the other night, including the manager of the act I saw [hey, I believe in full disclosure]. Besides exchanging many funny stories, I got to hear a wonderful talent sing and play her songs - Cindy Alexander. Because of mainstream radio's selectiveness these days, you probably won't hear her music. But check out www.cindyalexander.com. Her ballads are my favorites.
Baisbol Waves...how about Cogent's Jim "Sweet Home Chicago" Bubeck - exasperated Cubbies fan. On his first trip to 'Ol New York, he flips over the city and becomes a Yankee fan. Joe Torre's boys have been smokin' ever since. Timing, not bandwidth, is everything Jim!! The Jets might need you to switch from 'Da Bears!
As for my question in the last column about the song "Sweet Home Chicago", Dale Jennings of MarketWire got Music & Movies for 20 right - it was The Blues Brothers in the movie of the same name.
Aloha for now.
