Dell steps up storage

The Dell PowerVault MD3460.

Data storage space within the business sphere often comes at a premium. It’s common for companies to store terabytes of corporate data on their servers, but in environments that rely on high-performance computing (HPC), that space gets filled up fast.

Apple gets healthy

They say that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, Apple is looking to attract the attention of healthcare professionals by entering the world of healthcare.

Designed exclusively for the creation of personal health management apps, Apple’s new CareKit platform will serve as a key catalyst in the development of apps that allow users to transmit information about various medical conditions to their doctors. 

Apps created with this platform will not only be a boon for everyday users, but will help doctors to remotely track patients suffering from certain medical conditions.

While the idea sounds promising, getting doctors on board is vital to the success of CareKit. There are still some doctors in the U.S. who have yet to adopt electronic health records in their offices.

Windows of opportunity

A window of opportunity can mean many things to many people. For some, it represents a chance to instantly make a positive change or impact. For Microsoft, it represents a chance to build upon the success of one of their workhorse offerings.

Speedy delivery

When people think of apps, their first instinct would be small programs and utilities that are downloaded for use on a mobile device. However, there are other apps that are acquired through other means. Recently, browser-based apps have increased in popularity, but delivering them properly can sometimes be a thorn in an IT manager’s side.
