The Ghost of Christmas Future, Part II
Wednesday, March 18th, 2009
By Arthur Lessard and provided by the CIO Leadership Network.
In my last column we were drifting in our holiday bliss, looking forward 25 years to how we will protect ourselves in a digital world. We have a world in which we and our proxies must have some strong, and preferably standardized, way of authenticating ourselves for everything from purchases to work. We need to bridge the gap between the heavy authentication security vendors will want and the transparency that users will need.
So how does it happen?

Not-for-Profit Hospital Delivers Better Patient Care with Mobility
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009Southeast Alabama Medical Center (SAMC) had a legacy network that could not provide the coverage and reliability that clinicians required for VoIP throughout the facility. In the hospital’s highly mobile and collaborative environment, nurses and medical staff do extensive work while in motion throughout the facility. The campus had been created over the years by joining multiple buildings, of varying floor levels and many concrete walls still intact throughout, into one large facility. This made for a very challenging RF environment. Read the details on how SAMC deployed enhanced Mobile Collaborative Care applications (e.g., Unified Communications) as well as Secure Wireless applications which were critical for their growth and improved patient satisfaction.

Department of Defense Creates a Secure, Virtualized Environment
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009The Department of Defense’s (DoD) necessarily complex security requirements traditionally resulted in the physical separation of classified information onto different networks and computer systems. This created strong security, yet also created higher total costs and impeded access to necessary information. The DoD is addressing these issues with a solution from General Dynamics, which features Intel® vPro™ technology. (more…)
Improving Manageability with OS Streaming White Paper
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008OS streaming can deliver considerable manageability benefits to Intel IT training rooms with multi-user PCs. To evaluate performance and utilization in a production environment, we conducted proof of concept (PoC) testing in two rooms located in different buildings on an Intel campus. We found that OS streaming improved manageability and delivered fast client boot times with moderate server and network utilization, even during worst-case boot storms. (more…)
