As Apple’s popularity continues to grow, there will also be an increased chance that any given company might have to manage multiple operating systems within their network. And when diversity increases, so does complexity and maintenance.
From an operational standpoint, this is great since each function is hosted on a machine that’s well-designed for its intended purpose. But from an IT perspective, it can cause a lot of problems.
Let’s take data protection as an example.
In a Windows-only environment, you would only have to back up one set of computers every day using a single process. But now, you need to create a separate backup process for each system, so your daily backups could end up taking 4 times longer.
And there’s another danger. When it comes time to recover your company-wide systems in an emergency, the recovery process will also be 4 times more complicated, with 4 times the chances that a mistake could occur.
This gets even more complex as other databases and enterprise systems get added to the mix. (SharePoint, Lotus Notes, Oracle, etc...)
If your company is dealing with many diversified operating systems within the same network, you can simplify your IT management through 2 simple steps.
Step 1: Consolidate Expertise
The general tendency within organizations is to allow employees to create “knowledge silos”. One person might be a MAC expert, the other an IBM expert, and a third would be a Windows expert.
Instead, you should train your employees to be specialists across all systems... within certain fields. Using the data protection example, you would have one employee who is well trained in backup and recovery for each of the 4 operating systems listed above.
This way, when it comes time to recover the data, you don’t have to round up and coordinate a team of 4 people. Just a single person can do the job.
Step 2: Automate
Once you’ve consolidated all of the backup knowledge to a single employee, they’ll be better equipped to back up all 4 systems more effectively by eliminating wasteful processes and duplicate work. (This is much more difficult when expertise is “siloed”)
Automation also eliminates much of the human error that can occur when minor details get overlooked. This becomes more important as your systems continue to diversify.
By dealing with a single expert - and automating your backup process – your company can continue to ensure optimal data safety as its IT infrastructure grows in complexity. And this 2-step approach can also be applied to just about any functional area of IT.

What happens in case of a medical emergency? You are out of station, far away from your near & dear ones, met with an accident, sort of emergency. What’s the best way to help your attending physician to take crucial decisions of drug related allergies or medical history?
Personal Health Records (PHR) may come to your rescue if you’ve maintained one.
Wikipedia defines PHR as:
“A health record that is initiated and maintained by an individual. An ideal PHR would provide a complete and accurate summary of the health and medical history of an individual by gathering data from many sources and making this information accessible online to anyone who has the necessary electronic credentials to view the information.”
Optional Info:
Though PHR may sound like an EHR(Electronic Health Records) there’s a marked difference between the two. A PHR is initiated by an individual whereas an EHR is initiated by the health care providers and may be legally mandatory in most of the countries.
Free Cloud Based PHR

Sharing personal medical information is a sensitive issue.

If the deal goes through, it’ll be a good news for the thousands of SMBs / SMEs in India, who are still waiting for their 1st affordable Cloud Application. At a later stage, a few more players may pitch in to make it a more meaningful deal. It may also prompt a few other partnerships by other cloud vendors for affordable solutions for SMBs/SMEs. I bet there’s a billion dollar opportunity & there’s indeed a gap to be filled when it comes to IT implementation in SMBs. In contrast to the sky rocketting prices of traditional model of software development, Subscription based Pay-Per-Use model of cloud apps (SaaS) is the main attraction when it comes to implementing applications for SMBs. If you are not so convinced about the existing opportunities, read here Cloud Computing: A Catalyst for IT adoption in SMEs/SMBs
As HP is a leader in IT infrastructure equipments, it can take care of the IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) layer of the Cloud i.e. Data Center. The Indian telecom giant Bharti (It offers Telecom Services with Airtel brand name) will offer its optical fibre network and bandwidth to cloud data centers. Read press report here HP, Bharti in talks to offer cloud services for SMBs.
