Global marketing executive discusses challenges and opportunities for $24 billion business.
A global marketing executive from Johnson & Johnson said a brand must have goals before it strives to develop a presence on Facebook and other social networks.
"You must know what you are trying to accomplish [first]," said Kim Kadlec, worldwide vice president, global marketing group, Johnson & Johnson, during the Interactive Advertising Bureau's Innovation Days conference. She made her remarks in response to a question from IAB CEO Randall Rothenberg about a report that General Motors is cutting back on Facebook advertising.
"What's your end game? What are you trying to accomplish? People are there because they love [Facebook]. We don't want to ruin the party. That's our challenge," said Kadlec, who works with a team of 30 in the global marketing office for the pharmaceutical and consumer packaged good manufacturer.
Modern marketing must encompass listening and communicating with customers and prospects - and not just storytelling. "We have to move from a reach and frequency mindset to a reach and relationship mindset," she said.
American Express has effectively used Facebook during its Small Business Saturday campaign that encouraged people to shop at local merchants. "It added value to cardholders and small business clients. That was a win, win, win," she said.
Kadlec also outlined opportunities and challenges for the marketing team at the pharmaceutical and consumer packaged good manufacturer, which has 250 companies in 60 countries.
One challenge for some J&J brands is managing agency relationships. "I have brands that have nine to 12 agencies working with them. That's not sustainable," she said.
Kadlec also finds inspiration from working in emerging markets. In Manila, Philippines, for instance, she visited a family that had a home no bigger than the stage at the IAB conference. And that family owned a TV, laptop and cell phone. In addition to maintaining a Facebook page, the mother was able to obtain healthcare information on her mobile phone. "How community and education is improving lives is staggering," she said.

Chapter 4 Scheduling Algorithms for Web Crawling

title = {Chapter 4 Scheduling Algorithms for Web Crawling},
year = {}
In the previous chapter, we described the general model of our Web crawler. In this chapter, we deal with the specific algorithms for scheduling the visits to the Web pages. We started with a large sample of the Chilean Web that was used to build a Web graph and run a crawler simulator. Several strategies were compared using the simulator to ensure identical conditions during the experiments. The rest of this chapter is organized as follows: Section 4.1 introduces our experimental framework and Section 4.2 the simulation parameters. Sections 4.3 and 4.4 compare different scheduling policies for longand short-term scheduling. In Section 4.5 we test one of these policies using a real Web crawler, and the last section presents our conclusions. Portions of this chapter were presented in [CMRBY04]. 4.1 Experimental setup We tested several scheduling policies in two different datasets corresponding to Chilean and Greek Web pages using a crawler simulator. This section describes how the dataset and how the simulator works. 4.1.1 Datasets:.cl and.gr Dill et al. [DKM+ 02] studied several sub-sets of the Web, and found that the Web graph is self-similar in

Archeological Garden
During the early-Christian era and the beginnings of the Western church, the word "ecclesia", the bishop's church, was used instead of cathedral. Archaeological excavations between 1973 and 1977 brought to light Lyon's Episcopalian church complex in this area. Three churches and a surrounding wall were built in the 4th century: Sainte-Croix church where catechumen or novices (unbaptised followers) were taught, St Etienne baptistry where the faithful were baptised and the "ecclesia" where the Bishop welcomed the baptised. In Carolingian times, baptisms took place in the main church where baptismal fonts were used instead of the tanks in the baptistry. The history and evolution of this garden can be seen in the restored relics such as the foundations of Sainte-Croix and Saint Etienne, the baptismal tank where the faithful were immersed and part of the surrounding wall was built in the 6th century with the remains of Roman monuments (some still bear inscriptions).

Wonderful family restaurant. Great food - PLATANO MADURO - fried plantain appetizer with chutney is so tasty. Love the HORNADO CON PAPAS - slow roast pork - so tender and juicy and really nice portions (we can never finish). Also SECO DE POLLO - spicy chicken is delicious. Everything we've tried is terrific - so you can't go wrong. Very friendly and helpful servers helped explain everything the first time we visited. But we've been back and it's always consistently outstanding. Prices are very reasonable and a great place for two or for a family. Happy hour drink pricing helps as well.

Height of sink faucet to backsplash height
Talk about minor details! I am ordering my sink faucet for a master bathroom. For my backsplash, I am using the standard 4" countertop material rather than tile. Would it look strange for the sink faucet to be higher than the backsplash? The faucet that I love comes in a short or tall arc. The tall arc looks a little more formal, which I like. But, I don't know about that height issue.
Thank you!
Ack, so now I am liking the low arch one a little better (so great that I can do a 180 in a span of 10 min). But, I think the high arc one will work better with my tub.
So....new question....can I mix a high arc roman tub with a low arc sink from the same "collection"?
Here they are:
Thanks again!
This post was edited by rebecca3142 on Tue, Aug 5, 14 at 13:58
They are from the same collection and will be just perfect. Can you visit a showroom and actually get your hands on them? That always seals the deal for me, as photos aren't always what they seem. I cannot tell you how many drawer handle samples I tried before my final decision.
What is it you like better about the low arc faucet? Just the looks? I have a 4" tile backsplash and my high arc faucet looks fine (to me). It never occurred to me that it would be a problem. What (I) do find a problem is trying to get my hands and arms or items I'm trying to rinse, under a low faucet. The water stream is generally closer to the back of the inside of the sink. I like that I have a lot of room under my faucet and that it reaches to the middle of the sink.
Here is a link that might be useful: High Arc Sink Faucet

Despite widespread perception that crime at the corner of Third and Pine downtown is getting worse, the number of 911 calls related to that corner has actually plummeted this year compared to the previous three years, dropping 47 percent on average. Emergency calls also dropped in adjacent neighborhoods, including Belltown (down 72 percent), Chinatown (down 45 percent) and Pioneer Square (down 51 percent).
Council public safety committee chair Bruce Harrell hesitated to assign any explanation to the dropoff in 911 calls, which he said he just learned about at yesterday's transportation committee hearing (where members were briefed on progress improving the transit and pedestrian landscape along Third Ave. downtown).[pullquote]"People have a right to congregate. You can't just walk down the corridor and say, I don't like the way these people look, and they don't have the right to be here because they're not buying products from Macy's."—Bruce Harrell[/pullquote]
But he added that he and his staff had spent part of an afternoon around lunch hour recently surveying the area around the intersection, and didn't see any overt illegal activity. Instead, Harrell said, he mostly saw groups of people hanging out without any apparent purpose---blocking foot traffic, sure, but not in a way that violated any particular law.
"What I saw was people standing around for periods of time, just blocking the right of way ... without any specific purpose," Harrell says. "People have a right to congregate. You can't just walk down the corridor and say, I don't like the way these people look, and they don't have the right to be here because they're not buying products from Macy's."
Harrell says one solution might be to activate Third Ave., with vendors, artists, and events that turn the street into a destination, rather than a place to hang out all day, looking for trouble.
One thing that might help matters is the pending elimination of the Belltown-to-ID ride-free area, which goes away in September. Yesterday, Metro said it had received a $4.1 million grant to make improvements---including new bus shelters, sidewalk improvements, real-time arrival signs, and lighting---along Third. Of that total, $500,000 will go toward new ticket vending machines, allowing people to pay their fare before they board the bus (and, ideally, speeding up boarding times once downtown riders have to pay as they board.)

The pain may finally be coming to an end for these names, says "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer.» Read More
Take a look at some of Tuesday's after-hours buzz.
Some of Tuesday's midday movers:
The Federal Reserve won't likely raise interest rates anytime soon, economist Nouriel Roubini says.
Retail traders dialed back their overall exposure to U.S. stocks in October, according to a monthly analysis of customer accounts from TD Ameritrade.
The commodities upswing might be over, trader Dennis Gartman said.
Cheaper energy prices more of a positive than a negative, analysts say. Stocks saw another high Monday even with slumping oil and gas prices.
Long-term themes are driving growth in these companies for years to come, says "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer.
Alibaba stock pops 4 percent as China's Singles' Day promised a blockbuster boost to its bottom line.
Jim Cramer reviews Disney stock as a possible long-term investment for Veterans, so they can sleep peacefully at night and not obsess on investments.
Jim Cramer interviewed Starbucks' CEO Howard Schultz on his views of the country. Schultz thinks one population has the next generation of leaders.
Jim Cramer focuses on three long-term investment themes specialized for veterans and active-duty soldiers.
Asian indexes rallied on news that a link between Shanghai and Hong Kong's exchanges will move forward, opening the $2 trillion market fully to foreign investment.
Take a look at some of Monday's after-hours buzz: Caesars, Halcon, Juniper & more.
Assets under management in the passive index trackers or ETP market in Europe have doubled in size in the last five years.
As geopolitical and economic crises threaten to roil markets, now might be the time to devise a plan to handle any potential market selloff.
Some of the names on the move ahead of the open.
After one scary week, volatility in the stock market has plunged. But the currency and commodity markets have been hot, hot, hot.
It's not the Fed or any earnings report that's caught "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer's eye.
Now it's up to the stock market to prove it really is in a sweet spot as traders look to retail earnings for clues on the holiday shopping season.
Jim Cramer is smelling a few bullish signs for the housing market. Could this be the turnaround investors have been waiting for?

Knowledge sharing paradox revisited

People will freely share their knowledge if they remain in control of it because knowledge is a very personal thing.

Enterprise knowledge sharing requires trusted relationships
As the economy gets more networked, open organizations are becoming a necessity. Businesses are increasingly dependent on complex social interactions. Products are becoming services, as we can see with web apps, software, and even books. Trading intangible goods and services today requires trusted relationships, and often across distances.

Muzzle Washington?
The Cougars have lost 34 straight to Washington. The teams meet this season on Jan. 15 in Seattle, then five days later in Pullman. Maybe the bigger Cougars can end the streak.
Improvement needed
The Cougars allowed opponents 73 points, and shot a conference-low 36.5 percent from the field and 64.9 percent from the line. All those numbers need to improve.

Court in native Taiwan snubs Obama gown designer
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) - Judges in his native Taiwan seem unimpressed that Jason Wu has designed two inaugural gowns for U.S. first lady Michelle Obama.
Taiwan's Intellectual Property Court ruled Monday that Wu's new label "Miss Wu" could not be registered as a brand because it was not distinctive enough.
Wu is one of only several dozen Chinese surnames, and the court upheld a government trademark agency decision that "Miss Wu" was too generic. Wu claimed the label conjured the hoot of an owl, depicted on its logo.
He designed the white gown Obama wore for her husband's first inauguration in 2009. On Monday, she appeared in another of his creations, a shiny red gown with a halter top.
Wu was born in Taiwan before moving to Canada at age 9.

Best-selling Taiwanese illustrator Jimmy Liao teams up with renowned British author Joyce Dunbar to present a fantastical, heartwarming tale.
Why can't Jo-Jo go to sleep? He doesn''t like the darkness under the bed — a monster might be hiding there. And one is! It's a tiny speck of a monster with a huge appetite for darkness, gobbling it up under the bed, in every nook and cranny, and in the wide world outside, growing bigger with every bite. Soon there is no darkness left anywhere, from the earth to the stars. All the world is light, but the monster still has an empty feeling inside. Only a sleepless boy will help him be fulfilled at last.

What to Do With the "Dune Shacks" At Cape Cod National Seashore?
great to see someone was reading my comments...
regarding the dune shacks. lepanto says 'Protecting these pre-existing inholders was a benefit for people owning land in the boundary, not people squatting in shacks owned by the federal government.' guess what? the dune shacks were not owned by the federal government at the time of the 1961 legislation. they were taken from owners by the federal government. an eminent domain taking. a condemnation taking with the intent of destroying the cottages and thus returning the landscape to wilderness. that was never the promise or the stated intent of the supporters of the seashore. hundreds of private homes are inside the boundaries of the cape cod national seashore. it sounds like lepanto has a problem with that fact.
lepanto has largely ignored the major reality of this matter. the cape cod national seashore was created as a seashore. the word park was removed from the legislation because cape cod residents were promised they could keep their homes inside the proposed boundaries. the 10 or so remaining dune shack owners were assured by the first superintendent that they would be able to keep their cottages. most of the remaining dune shacks were on privately owned land. these cottages were not inside the historic provincelands. they are on land that had been purchased from previous owners. and as to squatters that term may sound rather sketchy but even those shacks which had that term linked to their history were very much owned by the people who claimed them.
and finally... lepanto suggests the way of life congress intended to protect was not related to the historic dune shacks in provincetown or truro. lepanto is wrong on that issue. the dune shacks have everything to do with the way of life that existed on cape cod in the early part of the century. the way of life that we treasure on cape cod is expressed best in the book henry beston wrote. the outermost house is what the way of life was all about. i suggest lepanto read it. cape cod national seashore would not exist without a small simple dune shack as its model for what our way of life is about. prc

Forest Service Drawing Line On Mountain Bikers in Potential Wilderness, National Park Service Agrees
The topic at hand here is Forest Service wilderness areas, while I suppose it could also easily extend to wilderness areas under the control of BLM or Fish & Game.
The 1964 Wilderness Act doesn't really set anything up because of any kind of cause-effect relationship regarding wildlife disturbances. It doesn't ban horses, mules, etc. For that matter it doesn't ban people. There would be difficulty in banning dogs. Hunting is still legal in many wilderness areas, including the use of hunting dogs. What the Wilderness Act does set up is a ban on commercial enterprise, roads, permanent structures, and mechanical transport. Bringing along dogs clearly is not a banned activity in the Wilderness Act while riding a bicycle can be interpreted as being prohibited (you guys can argue that all you want).
In fact, wildlife disturbance is specifically allowed in wilderness areas. One can hunt in many non-NPS wilderness areas and one can typically fish in them too.
What Would Teddy Think?
Kurt mentions Rep. Saxton, former Republican of NJ. The backstory here, on why someone like Bishop even exists in the Congress in a position of authority, is really only about the current political policies and strategies of the congressional Republicans.
Saxton was the senior Republican set for becoming Chairman of the committee, but Tom DeLay and the Republican leadership pushed him aside. There actually was also ANOTHER senior Republican committee Member, eligible for leadership, Wayne Gilchrest of Maryland. He was also forced aside. Both Saxton and Gilchrest were Republican environmentalists and moderates. In the tradition of a long line of Republican environmentalists. This tradition has had a decisive and positive influence upon our environmental laws, like Mac Mathias of Maryland's early support of Alaskan parks, John Chafee's steadfast support of clean air, clean water, wildlife refuges and National Heritage Areas. There is a long list, and these people helped the Republican party gain support of the American people. Most of these people remember Theodore Roosevelt fondly as a leader and an inspiration.
Today is Theodore Roosevelt's birthday. What a wonderful thing it would be if the Republican party would rededicate itself to Roosevelt's understanding for the need for "countervailing power" to keep America strong. But, Roosevelt would be in anguish to see what has happened to the Republican Party in recent years with this new Republican strategy to attack, without helping solve problems.
Saxton and Gilcrest got caught in this madness. Both are now gone from the Congress after being denied Chairmanship. The right-wing Republicans went so far as to mount an attack against Gilcrest from the right, to push him all the way out of Congress.
Fewer and fewer moderate Republicans remain. What we have instead, is Rob Bishop. Roosevelt would weep.

What Would Teddy Think?
I had the "privilege" of teaching with Rob Bishop in Box Elder County, Utah when he taught at Box Elder High School in Brigham City. All the while he was "teaching" he was also moonlighting as a member of the Utah legislature. Besides being a terrible legislator, he was also a very mediocre teacher. He was consumed by his passion for personal power which he found in the perks of legislation. He enjoyed the illusion of greatness brought by his high office. But his students suffered because of his frequent absences from the classroom as the handled "legislative business."
Other teachers and most parents found him to be a self-centered and pompous ass. Many of us believed he remained a teacher only because his political power in the state made it dangerous for any administrators to try to crack the whip on him and require that he meet his obligations as an educator. It was not unusual to hear comments that Mr. Bishop was probably in the teaching profession only because it was one of the few jobs from which he could take frequent leave -- substitutes were always available. But when students have a string of subs rather than the stability of a regular teacher, they suffer seriously.
The Utah political system is set up in such a way that one party rules with an iron fist -- and that party is controlled by a very small number of professional politicians and few hacks who swing a lot of weight through generous use of nefarious tactics and a firmly bedded system of good ol' boys. The good ol' boys are men of wealth and power who are desperately clinging to their handholds in the halls of political power play. Their greed and clutching cynicism is something to behold!
No, those of us who know Rob personally are not surprised at all.

This Third Time Was Anything But Charming – SPOT Misuse At Grand Canyon National Park
As a volunteer S&R responder, the pluses and minuses of this technology are obvious. When used correctly, it is a godsend . . . when misused, it unduly taps limited volunteer resources who should remain "in the barn" ready and rested for the "real" rescue. S&R is not in business because of the well trained and experienced outdoors enthusiast, we consistently go looking for and rescuing the ill prepared, inexperienced, or unhealthy. Regrettably, there is no shortage of these individuals, and this technology will only increase their number. (The standing joke in S&R is "We return the dumb ones to the gene pool.")
For companies like the makers of Spot to promise the buyers of their product that people such as myself and my team will come and rescue them in the event of an emergency that they caused . . . it would seem only fitting that such a marketing promise would not come without a cost to either the guarantor or the customer. In my state, the County Sheriff is mandated with the responsibility of providing search and rescue services . . . it is well within the purview of his authority to charge an incompetent or reckless individual for recovery of costs of an operation. That is rare in our county, it is generally only done in the event a law was broken in the course of the emergency (or leading up to it). However, should the inappropriate use of such devices continue to rise, I would expect to see the "cost of recovery" option be more frequently pursued. The old axiom, "the few ruin it for the rest of us" will likely come into play at some point, particularly as department and agency budgets are further cut.
Can't Connect to Some NPS Websites? Don't Take it Out on Your Computer
What you need is the phone number of the guy who invented internet firewalls, or of the network technicians working for the outside contractor who still don't have our firewalls & dmz configured correctly.
Or, in this particular case, either the person who wrote Windows Server, or the person who designed a system that requires rebooting rather than service stop / service restart. My guess is that you hit the patching and rebooting of all the servers running MS windows server as the os. A record stack of patches was released 2 weeks ago. The Denver & Fort Collins servers (including nature.nps.gov & science.nature.nps.gov) all patched & rebooted Wednesday evening. I believe the DC servers cycled Friday after COB their time, and between getting the servers rebooted in the correct order and testing, it would have taken several hours and possibly into Saturday. If any addresses changed, it could have taken an additional 24 hours for local router tables to flush the old addresses in their cache.
nps.gov/olym works Monday morning, although it is pathetically slow from here.
National Park Service Announces Superintendent Vacancy At Gettysburg National Military Park

I'd be surprised if he doesn't do just that.
What to Do With the "Dune Shacks" At Cape Cod National Seashore?
Well, there is obviously still a lot of emotion and obscurity on 'both' sides of the dune shack issue at Cape Cod.
There are several broad policy jumbles tied up in this Cape Cod thing as well. For example, in the early days of environmental and historic preservation review, for NEPA and for section 106 of the Historic Preservation Act, many in the NPS did not seem themselves as targets of those laws. To some extent, they assumed they were targeted at people they saw as polluters or destroyers of national landmarks. Removing non-conforming structures from a scenic or natural area, or a beach perceived as being set aside for recreation and scenic enjoyment was often Job-1 when new parks are established. The beach shacks at Cape Cod were not seen as much different, inside the NPS. The assumption (usually) had been that the point of setting aside a national park for all the people was to eliminate the privatization that undercuts public use. But state historic officers and the National Advisory Council of Historic Preservation, several of whose staff were disgruntled former NPS employees, were riled by the NPS' sense of exceptionalism, and wanted to take it down several notches.
So park managers were not ready to handle the environmental review and compliance required to properly analyze the shacks as historic structures and their removal as major federal actions. Therefore, Cape Cod was an easy target, because the apparently typical complaints of the private users was amplified when attack dogs in the state and national historic staffs described the shacks as historic objects, not beach junk.
These state and federal agents had the power to provoke a real confrontation and stop the demolition.
Park staff are directed to interpret federal law to protect a certain scene of what they understand to be the primary park values: in the case of Cape Cod, these were the scenic, recreation, and natural resources of beach and dune systems.
In the case of the state and federal historic preservation officers, they do not distinguish between one period of history and another, and were trying to demonstrate their power to make federal agencies reconsider the value of the resources they managed. Cape Cod was a poster child of this political goal.
In the meantime, the National Park Service laws were changing in ways that would snag the simpler, more direct approach to park management of the past. The general authorities act that passed in the 1970's, combined with other laws, was intended to make the law protect all parks equally. Resources on recreation areas or historic areas had to be treated just like the natural areas designated National Parks. This was an attempt to stop the overdevelopment and neglect going on in some areas. It would enable the NPS to close sport hunting on all recreation areas not specifically open to hunting by law, for example: all parks were managed the same, unless a specific exception was granted in the law. This had the unintended affect, along with the new aggressive enforcement of historic preservation reviews, of suddenly elevating all historic resources to the same level, even in natural areas, even if the law enacting that park never mentioned historic resources.
The old Hartzog-era Handbooks, one for Recreation Areas, one for Historic Areas, one for Natural Areas, were undermined. The clarity of the purpose of a specific park was undermined. Park managers had to learn to anticipate challenges like the dune shacks on Cape Cod as one more grenade over the wall of trying to preserve a park as Congress intended.
Finally, I think PRC is wrong to lump the dune shacks in with Congress' intent to protect the Cape Cod "way of life." Congress included clauses in the Cape Cod legislation that in effect offered a deal to local governments and local landowners who were already in the boundary when the National Seashore was established. The idea was that the NPS would not take the private land and the local governments would pass laws preventing new development within the park boundary. Protecting these pre-existing inholders was a benefit for people owning land in the boundary, not people squatting in shacks owned by the federal government. Congress said nothing in the Cape Cod law of providing some exception for a few privileged individuals to in effect take control over lands set aside for all the people. But, guess what? The local governments did NOT restrain the new development, so the Cape Cod of old was destroyed by the greed for new development, wholly out of character or impact with what the situation was in Cape Cod in the early 1960's. At a time of the Sagebrush Rebellion, of the National Parks Inholders Association, of the "war on the west" and right-wing reaction everywhere, the NPS lacked the power or the guts to get the money to buy up the developments. Cape Cod, not just inside the Seashore boundaries, became so overdeveloped because of this greed, that soapsuds started bubbling up from underground water sources.
It is true that Cape Cod had with one short-lived exception, several recent and past superintendent's with very little political skill to anticipate and stand up to these challenges.
If the NPS had acknowledged the historic value of the shacks and prepared environmental reviews and plans, it would have been in a better position to propose what shacks should go, what shacks should stay, and prepare a pro-active plan for management of the remaining shacks. But with superintendents equipped only with skills of interpreters or natural resource environmentalists, the kind of smart political savvy was not there to take on the actually pretty commonplace situation of a few individuals trying to convert a national resource to their own private benefit. Or, take on state and national historic interests who are less concerned with the success of the innovative Cape Cod legislation, than they were for increasing the political power of their agency. In fact, a recent superintendent had to opportunity to purchase a large block of undeveloped private land within the boundaries, land about to be developed, and did not even put in a request for funding. These are not the kind of skilled heroes you saw on the Ken Burns film, who worked to save the original national parks.
Political power won over the original intent of the Seashore law and poorly equipped park managers. This is not the "traditional" place Congress intended. This is private interest wrapped in the flag of historic preservation and heritage.

Stolen vehicles crashed in East Kildonan
Three unlocked vehicles in north Winnipeg were stolen on Jan. 19, resulting in a chase in East Kildonan.
At 8:30 a.m. that day, an unlocked Honda CR-V was stolen from Drobot Place in North Kildonan. At 6:30 p.m., a Lexus ES350 that had been left unlocked and running was stolen from Ingersoll Street in the West End, and at 10:40 p.m., a Pontiac G5 that was unlocked and left running was stolen from Moncton Avenue in East Kildonan.
Shortly after the third incident, Winnipeg police spotted the Pontiac and the Lexus being driven erratically in the area of Raleigh Street and Kimberly Avenue. As both vehicles attempted to flee, the Pontiac hit a snowbank near Kimberly and Golspie Street, and the Lexus hit a parked vehicle near Golspie and Hazel Dell Avenue.
The suspects attempted to flee the area on foot, but members of the patrol unit and Canine Unit arrested them. Members of the Stolen Auto Unit continued the investigation, and have arrested an 18-year-old male, a 15-year-old male, two 14-year-old males, and a 13-year-old male. All are facing numerous theft and property-related charges. One suspect remains at large.
The Honda CR-V has not been recovered, Cst. Jason Michalyshen noted in an email on Jan. 21.

Business Connexion: IT Provider Expects to Reduce Storage, Bandwidth Needs With Branch Cache Solution
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Business Connexion is a fast-growing South African IT services firm that likes rising revenues but has a different opinion of its own rising IT costs. The costs of branch-office access to data over the wide area network were a particular concern. To address those costs, the company is adopting Windows Server 2012 with BranchCache technology. Business Connexion is using it to centralize data while streamlining the process by which it's cached and used at branch offices - reducing the time it takes business users to download and open large files, boosting the accuracy of data, and increasing IT productivity.
