There’s an interesting story that states that 9,000 USB sticks are lost in laundrettes every year in the UK. The story also says that London taxi drivers claim that over 12,000 portable devices are left in their cabs every year. It just shows how easy it is to overlook these devices that often contain sensitive personal or business data that is often covered by regulator laws.

Microsoft Fix Internet Explorer Vulnerability
You may have heard or read about the new critical vulnerability that was found in Internet Explorer. We will be rapidly approving this fix after it is released tonight. We don’t believe it will affect any of our services however we feel it is prudent to approve this fix for automated deployment.
Whitepaper: Managed Cloud Computing
We have published another paper written by Aidan Finn, the Systems and Infrastructure Manager. This whitepaper looks at Managed Cloud Computing. In it you’ll read about how traditional on-site installations of business applications turned organisations into “accidental IT companies”. By moving IT into the “cloud” and using Software as a Service you can avoid the pitfalls of requiring unwarranted in-house IT infrastructure expertise, decrease costs and increase availability and agility. You’ll see why you need to look at this architecture now whether you’re a service provider or a service consumer. Finally, we look at the differences between Cloud Computing and Managed Cloud Computing for professional solutions.
The Future Of Windows Server
The next release of Windows Server will be in 2010 or thereabouts. This will probably be soon after the release of Windows 7, the successor to Windows Vista. This new server product will be called Windows Server 2008 R2.
Microsoft Talks About Zignals Using Silverlight
Martha Rotter, a development evangelist in Microsoft Ireland and well known to the MTUG community, recently talked about the activities of Zignals. Zignals, a managed hosting services client of C Infinity, provide an online finance advisory service. This arms the smaller investor with the information to enable them to play on the same field as the large investors who can afford exexpensive advisory services.
Critical Microsoft Security Update
All of Microsoft’s notification channels are getting urgent news out about a new security update that will be released on October 23rd. It will affect all currently supported, both mainstream and extended, forms of Windows (Windows 2000 and later).
Outlook PST File Backups With Connected Online
I previously mentioned the different methods of creating backups of your MS Outlook PST and for the most part its a manual process. You can still use Microsoft’s Outlook plugin to create an automated copy of the PST file but it still requires a safe offsite backup.
