Service providers are growing dramatically. Of the new data center space being built in the U.S., service providers accounted for about 13% of it, but by 2017 they will be responsible for more than 30% of this new space, said Rick Villars, an analyst at IDC. "Most of the rapid growth is in service providers," which includes hosting, co-location and things such as a Facebook buildout, said Villars.

By creating a marketplace for cloud computing services in two on-shore data centres, the NSW government would reduce perceived legal and security risks associated with offshore providers. “It's not a unique approach but is almost identical to the one the New Zealand government put in place,” said IDC analyst Chris Morris.
PMO Lingo and Acronyms to Tickle Your Funny Bone
Running a PMO is challenging. It can be nerve wrecking some times. To keep things into perspective and not to take self too seriously, it is good to joke about it once in a while. Here is a list of funny terms from workplace lingo that help lighten up a tough situation. To keep the blog “G” rated, PM Hut changed some of the words. However the idea remains and the humor hopefully still comes through.
Clayton Christensen Talks Venture Capital, Crowd Funding, And How To Measure Your Life
There is a different business model that is disrupting us, and that’s online learning. On-the-job education. So Intel University, GE Crotonville. This model of learning is: You come in, we’ll spend a week teaching you about strategy, and then you go off and develop the strategy. You come back for two weeks in product development, and we send you – you know. You use it and you learn it and you do it while you’re employed. It a very different business model, and that’s what’s killing us. And it’s truly what’s going to kill us.

NBN Co continues to defend 'Rolls-Royce' satellite strategy
There have been questions as to whether it was necessary for NBN Co to blow almost AU$1 billion on new Ka-band satellites, with Shadow Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull claiming at the time that it was an unnecessary move, calling it the "Rolls-Royce" approach to providing satellite services to remote regions. He also said there is enough capacity from existing commercial satellite providers.
What is a Keylogger?
The keylogger often has the ability to sit between the keyboard and the operating system and intercept all of the communications without the user’s knowledge. The keylogger can either store the recorded data locally on the compromised machine or, if it’s implemented as part of a larger attack toolkit with external communication capabilities, sent off to a remote PC controlled by the attacker.
S'pore calls for 'new approaches' in cybersecurity
One way is to build up "anticipatory capabilities" through environment scanning as well as exchanging information and intelligence, so it will be easier to join the dots and form a more complete picture of the situation, Teo noted. This includes a theoretical element involving data analytics, risk analytics, and relationship modelling, along with a practical element. This requires testing concepts in real life to see if there are false positives and false negatives, he said.
