For those of you who follow my blog, you’re used to seeing topics regarding imagery and software and how their integration assists federal agencies, AEC firms and first responders.  Today I am writing about something far more important – the loss of a good man.  On May 18, 2010, Col.

Not new to the dance, the perennial wallflower, virtual desktop, is now showing up on people's dance card.  As administrators and managers realize the benefits of server virtualization, virtual desktop is coming to the forefront of the virtual discussion.  Centralized management of the desktop has clear advantages, but until recently desktop virtualization had pitfalls that made it untenable for most shops.  The open source SPICE protocol looks to change the playing field.

When Microsoft introduced the Windows 2000 operating system, they introduced a new way of managing disks and the capacity they contained. Developed in conjunction with VERITAS Software, Disk Management in Windows 2000 uses the concept of dynamic disks to allow users to dynamically configure their storage i.e. no reboots. The default disk type, referred to as basic, allows for the creation of partitions and logical drives, much in the same vein as Disk Administrator in Windows NT.

Natural disasters and industrial incidents are not in short supply these days.  Both newspapers and the evening news are documenting tornados, volcanic ash, oil slicks and more.

I haven’t seen an official study yet, but if I had to guess, I would say that there are hundreds of marketing events each month for government agencies.  If you attended them all, you could probably eat out every day, all day without fail.  If you attended every webcast available to you, you could likely stare at your computer screen for hours on end until your eyeballs dry out.  Yet despite all that, I assert that what we need is more events.  Yes, I said more.  And, no, I am not crazy. Information Technology is changing more rapidly than any one human being can grasp.  Heck, Van

The Federal Government has recently embarked on an initiative to consolidate its 1,100 data centers - the advertised primary objective being cost reduction, primarily through energy savings. While a simplistic approach to consolidation (virtualize everything and use lots of Clouds) may be tempting, changes taking place in the IT industry argue for careful consideration of the technology suites now coming to market. The storm that I see rising is the war between Oracle-Sun, H

What you talkin' 'bout, fool? Does anybody else remember the "A-Team” – Murdock, B.A. Baracus, Hannibal, and Faceman? When planning a mission, George Peppard – the one-time-“Banacek” star – and the “A-Team's” Hannibal, coined the line, "I love it when a plan comes together..." Well, we've been working with a group of Fed IT pros to put together a little caper of our own.

After years of public acrimony and a 6 month trial, San Francisco IT administrator Terry Childs has been found guilty of hijacking the city’s computer system.  Cyber-Ark has always maintained that this was more than simply a case about a rogue employee, but in fact an example of an organizational failure in managing and effectively taking ownership of privileged accounts and identities.  At the end of the
