The Weekly Round-Up: 13.06.08
Round-Up Jaw-jutting heroes of the server room is a phrase they didn't use but should have. Once upon a time your average criminal would rather nick your server than patch it. To address the skills shortfall, roughly 61,000 properly qualified employees in... [13 Jun 2008]
Dear silicon.com... outsource vs insource, Naked CIO on open source, password overload…

The Weekly Round-Up: 31.08.07

Quocirca's Straight Talking: Outsourcing won't save you money

Editor's Blog: Power matters and friendly Larry
Comment Hardware vendors here told me user-organisations can't fill up the racks in their server rooms because of the electricity costs to run all that kit. You don't have to be an environmental scientist to figure out why power management is taking centre... [26 Oct 2006]

Quocirca's Straight Talking: Drop those bad habits
