CIO Assessment Program Launched by Click Consulting

Click Consulting has created a new service helping small businesses understand the way that technology fits inside of their business, the CIO Assessment. After looking at the way technology was treated inside of their own client’s businesses, Click Consulting decided that they had to develop a system of connecting business goals and IT so that technology was no longer overhead but rather a driver of business.

“In today’s climate of tighter spending and shrinking margins, IT can become a true driver of business growth if the appropriate technologies are in place,” said Jeff Lenning, president, Click Consulting. “Our CIO Assessment program helps companies analyze their current situations and makes recommendations based on each company’s unique requirements. We keep up with the latest technologies so that our clients can focus on running their businesses.”

Most small businesses spend their time thinking about their business, not the technology that runs it. At the same time, most managed services companies just maintain the IT infrastructure without thinking about the business it exists within. Few IT service firms ever work with small businesses from a business perspective; instead everything becomes a maintenance issue so growth never occurs as a result of IT spending. Click Consulting decided that this downward spiral needed to stop.

The CIO Assessment process starts with in-depth interviews of major stakeholders and decision makers at the company to understand the business choices that are being made. Then, after a deep inspection of the technology currently used at the company, Click Consulting delivers a report complete with suggestions about how to better align technology and the business. The assessment becomes a roadmap, helping guide the growth and profits of the company over time.

About Click Consulting
Click Consulting is a full service IT and Web Development company based in Irvine, Calif. Focusing on small and growing companies, Click provides remote IT support, on-site tech support, self-managed websites, and fully custom web projects.

Belden’s New Adaptive Enclosure Heat Containment System “Greens” The Data Center By Slashing Cooling Costs

Belden (NYSE: BDC), a world leader in the development of signal transmission products for industrial, enterprise, building management, broadcast, and security applications, has introduced a new adaptive enclosure heat containment (AEHC) system for data centers that will ensure the entire room is normalized with cold air to just the right amount, with no wasteful oversupply of cooling.

Carl Bruckner, General Manager of Belden’s Cable Management Group, states: “The AEHC system is a key addition to Belden’s enclosure products, allowing our partners to effectively manage the deployment of high density, high heat load equipment in both new and existing data centers.”

In the new Belden system, a pressure reading made by a sensor inside the enclosure plenum modulates the rotational speed of the fans in the two cartridges mounted atop the enclosure. The speed is varied so that they pull out exactly the correct amount of air from the enclosure and send it back to the air conditioner return via a ceiling plenum.

The process of cooling enclosures in a data center today wastes excessive amounts of energy, largely due to oversupply of cold air by computer room air conditioner (CRAC) units attempting to compensate inefficiency in the enclosure cooling process.

A recent study on 19 large computer rooms found that, on average, the amount of cold air supplied to a data center room is 2.6 times the amount of cold air actually consumed by the IT load. The CRAC is oversupplying the room with cold air to overcome both bypass leakage and the effects of hot/cold mixing. The result is a significant waste of energy and dollars.

However, because of its innovative heat containment design, the new Belden AEHC system overcomes these problems. Since it completely separates the hot and cold side of operations, the room will be normalized with cool air which never experiences mixing with exhaust heat from the enclosure. The bypass problem is eliminated, too.

There is no need to oversupply cold air to the room.

The physical position of the CRAC unit and its proximity to the enclosures are no longer a concern, a fact which greatly simplifies the challenge of data room infrastructure design. Cool air can be fed to the computer room via a raised floor or an overhead duct which enhances your freedom of infrastructure design.

When designing a totally new data center with the AEHC system, you can now install bigger and fewer CRAC units, instead of relying on many smaller units that are less efficient. And when retrofitting an existing room, you can use the same amount — and same type — of cooling equipment currently installed. In either scenario, Belden’s advanced management software will help you better control your IT environment by giving you real time assessment of enclosure cooling load or demand.

You will be able to deploy more IT load in the same room, a great efficiency benefit in today’s economy. If you have space left in your enclosures but aren’t deploying more devices there because your cooling system is already at full capacity, you can retrofit Belden’s new heat containment system on those enclosures that have the highest heat loads, to be able to host even more IT equipment.

As a bonus, the AEHC system increases the temperature differential between the inlet and outlet temperatures of the CRAC unit for much greater operational efficiency, giving you an important savings in energy consumption. With no mixing of hot and cold air, it is possible to raise the temperature of the cooling air supplied to enclosures to be closer to the ASHRAE recommended upper limit. The cold/hot air paths are fully separated by the system, so the CRAC supplies less air to the room at a higher temperature, and still assures better cooling with no hot spots.

An online newshound is loose in the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Industry. UPsonNet’s innovative News Briefs Service embraces a growing desire for professionals and users to be updated on development with minimum time investment, providing not only essential up-to-date news in brief, with link to full stories, but also by digging around to expand the news as its happening.

The very important UPS industry, known also as battery backup, protects computers and other sensitive consumers, f r o m utility disturbances, continuing to provide conditioned power from batteries at mains outage.

Vast quantities of information are published daily on various media sites. With so much input, how can anyone find the time to scan the relevant material and cut through the clutter and noise, in order to be updated with the vital information needed to perform one’s task?

To offer a solution, UPSonNet (UON) scours daily, multiple resources, for news and publications about products, companies, components and related Power Protection and UPS Industry events.

Brief’s of latest news, filtered for important new features, approaches or insights are published on UPSonNet site, enabling users and industry participants, f r o m top management level to designers, consultants and service providers, to become updated with essential news, while devoting only a few minutes a day.

The Briefs link to the original source, to allow more depth, if required. Information or claims, of significant nature, such as technological breakthroughs, or competitive advantages, is further investigated by UON’s professional editors.

MultiFactor Corp. announces the integration of its flagship product, SecureAuth(r) and Data Guard Systems’ newest product, AlertBoot

MultiFactor Corporation, an innovator in 2 factor authentication, Web application security and SSL VPN Authentication solutions, today announced the integration of its flagship product, SecureAuth® and Data Guard Systems’ newest product, AlertBoot.

AlertBoot transforms enterprise-level full disk encryption and data security into a fully-managed and centralized Web-based service. It promises customers the same benefits as a traditional full disk encryption and data security solution, but on a platform that is scalable to the needs of an organization and requires far less investment in IT infrastructure, support, and training.

“A Web-based platform and an emphasis on a user-friendly customer experience were common ground for AlertBoot and SecureAuth,” said Timothy Maliyil, Data Guard’s Systems’ CEO. “And it didn’t take long to realize that SecureAuth could integrate X509 certificate technology authentication in a way that wouldn’t affect delivery of AlertBoot’s basic product performance while maintaining the integrity of key differentiators of speed and convenience.”

SecureAuth revolutionized X509 certificate technology authentication into a tokenless, non-phishable, two-way authentication solution that can be effortlessly deployed over the Web and requires virtually no training or infrastructure modifications to implement and manage. The solution proved to be a perfect match for the type of multi-factor authentication system AlertBoot needed for AlertBoot Central, its administrative console.

“This level of security becomes especially critical, considering the new type of DNS phishing attacks Hackers have been mounting,” said Garret Grajek, COO of MultiFactor Corporation. “These attacks fool a DNS server—which directs alphabetical URL requests to the corresponding numerical IP address of a website—into directing the user unknowingly to a hacker-created site where they capture your log-in information. However, when a hacker attempts to replay your log-in in AlertBoot, the absence of a certificate prevents them from gaining access.”

SecureAuth works by authenticating both the user and the client for each session via a non-exportable cryptographic credential. When an authorized user logs into AlertBoot Central for the first time, they’re immediately redirected to the SecureAuth registration system, which emails them a PIN. Once they enter the PIN, the system installs the certificate on their computer. From that point on, whenever the user logs into the AlertBoot management console, they’re instantly authorized.

The end result is that the user and customer both enjoy the full security benefits of X509 certificate technology authentication, but without the additional infrastructure that would have otherwise been required.

About MultiFactor Corporation
MultiFactor Corporation is the leader in strong, simple to use, user authentication. SecureAuth is a true plug-n-play dual factor authentication mechanism that allows secure access into the enterprise network and application resources. Enabling the enterprise to cost effectively harness the true power of the network. Please visit http://multifa.com.
