Happy New Year to all for 2012 and hoping it will be filled with good health and happiness for you and yours.

Tech Year in review – Happy New Year and 2012 will be a great year for Technology

As we reflect on the past year and look at all of the innovation and changes with Tech in 2011 – iPhone dominating the market, Android smart phones, social media, Cloud Computing, Google+, Amazon new Kindle, mobile, it’s exciting to look at what 2012 will bring. So I’m attaching TechCrunch 2011 ‘year in review’. And I’m so excited about my company’s arsenal of products and solutions. Oracle is positioned to explode with current Cloud solutions.

Happy New Year to all and may 2012 be what you make it.

Data Domain gets acquired by NetApp

Having selected Netapp for our virtual storage strategy using real time replication with Snap Mirro, which was a great decision, the addition of Data Domain for dedupe solutions, truly creates an expansive solution to add BURA (back  up, recovery, archive) and dedupe in cost effective and efficient way with the current Netapp products.

Latin Prepaid Cards: Silver Lining?
