Social Media Strategies - Learn from the Professionals

The term "Social Media (also see BentleyCS299E01)" was, amongst other places, also used by Tina Sharkey (co-founder of iVillage, former SVP of AIM and Social Media (also see BentleyCS299E01), and now head of BabyCenter.com) in 1997 to describe a form of community-driven Internet content; and by Darrell Berry in 1995 to describe software systems (such as his multimedia MOO client, Matisse), which facilitate the collaborative building of community and the subjective experience of shared "space" via electronic media. He referred to such systems as "social media (also see BentleyCS299E01) architectures'. [Source: Wikipedia]


Canon EF24mm F/1.4 L USM Lens

The fastest wide angle L lens in its class with excellent definition. The first EF lens uses a ground and polished aspherical glass lens element and a UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass lens element simultaneously, in order to achieve a large f/1.4 aperture and superb optical performance of a L lens at the same time. The floating optical system provides high image quality over the entire focusing range. This is the first L lens with lens elements, made of only ecologically sound lead-free glass. A ring USM (Ultrasonic Motor) and rear focus system offer silent, high-speed AF. A full-time manual focusing and a non-rotating filter frame provide excellent operability.



Intel 10 Gigabit XF LR Server Adapte

10 Gigabit Ethernet has moved past the early adoption stage and is rapidly becoming mainstay for backbones within enterprise and service provider networks. The escalating deployments of servers with multi-core processors and demanding applications such as High Performance Computing (HPC), database clusters, and video-on-demand are driving the need for 10 Gigabit connections. The Intel 10 Gigabit XF Server Adapters are designed to meet the throughput and latency requirements of bandwidth-hungry applications, while offering a very low power envelope for energy efficiency. Ideal for slot-constrained environments, the Intel 10 Gigabit XF Server Adapter provides a simplified alternative to multiple 1 Gbps server adapters.

HP ProLiant DL320s 1.7TB SAS Serv

The HP ProLiant DL320s Storage Server is a high-density Network Attached Storage (NAS) solution that enables customers with small and medium office environments to consolidate multiple direct-attached storage (DAS) installations and management interfaces to a single centralized Windows-based file and print solution. While DAS can be fractured and difficult to track and maintain, NAS lowers your total cost of storage ownership since management and protection are performed from one interface in one location. It supports multiple file sharing protocols and Windows storage-specific tools that make file share maintenance both easy and powerful. And with optional Microsoft iSCSI Software Target, you can upgrade to host block-based storage for Exchange, SQL or other applications. The NAS solution not only aids in consolidation and cost reduction, but also helps you spend less time and effort deploying and managing file and print services.

Primarily, social media (also see BentleyCS299E01) depend on interactions between people as the discussion and integration of words to build shared-meaning, using technology as a conduit. Social media (also see BentleyCS299E01) has been touted as presenting a fresh direction for marketing by allowing companies to talk with consumers, as opposed to talking at them.[5]

Social media (also see BentleyCS299E01) utilities create opportunities for the use of both inductive and deductive logic by their users. Claims or warrants are quickly transitioned into generalizations due to the manner in which shared statements are posted and viewed by all. The speed of communication, breadth, and depth, and ability to see how the words build a case solicits the use of rhetoric. Induction is frequently used as a means to validate or authenticate different users' statements and words. Rhetoric is an important part of today’s language in social media (also see BentleyCS299E01). [Source: Wikipedia]

Nortel Routing Switch 1612G 12 SFP

As competition grows for customers in the marketplace, enterprises are relying on technology to help them differentiate their business. Many of the applications used to provide services and increase productivity require reliable, secure communications. Network resiliency, security of data, and application-driven performance are the mainstays of a network built to provide services.

Aggregating network traffic from wiring closets and servers provides increased network performance and aids in troubleshooting. By aggregating wiring closet traffic into a hardware-based routing switch, inter-network traffic can be routed at wire-speed, ensuring application response times, required by bandwidth-sensitive applications, are met. Additionally, fewer high-speed router ports are required since high-speed wiring closet links are consolidated before connecting to the WAN router. Troubleshooting is made easier by providing clear distinctions for traffic segmentation.

The Passport 1600 series is a high-performance fixed port Layer 3 solution that provides the resilience, performance, and security required by today's application and competition-driven enterprise networks. Delivering application performance with proven reliability allows businesses to differentiate themselves with tools for everything from customer service to productivity or collaboration. Resiliency delivers maximum availability critical for bandwidth-sensitive and revenue-generating applications. Application performance decreases the chance that data will be dropped when traffic load increases on the switch. Security features provide added protection for switch configuration data, while packet filtering helps secure and segment sensitive traffic or network access.
