December 2010

It seems that every networking event this year, every tech magazine issue, and every vendor worth its salt is talking about “the cloud.” The cloud, in one of its many forms – public, private, or mixed – has become ubiquitous! I’ll confess: I started off my cloud gazing with little interest and several doubts, but I’ve learned a lot over the past year about the potential benefits of obtaining software, platform, and infrastructure as cloud services. I’m not quite ready to “drink the kool aid” yet, but it’s starting to look pretty tasty.

Did you know that in addition to effecting your business communications, online threats also contribute to our growing climate crisis? Viruses, malware and spyware often draw on the processing power of your computer, even when you aren’t using it. This consumes energy and adds to CO2 emissions. By using our MXINSPECT anti-malware services you can protect your business and reduce your overall energy consumption . . . and your electric bills.

Your choice of computer hardware and software can also address the question: What is green computing? They both have a significant effect on the environment and your bottom line. For example, computers that run the new Microsoft Windows 7 operating system use less power according to the hands-on experience of the eMazzanti team:

■“Trigger Start Services is a new Windows 7 feature that fires-up only when needed. This enables faster start-up and shut down of your computer as well as reducing power consumption,” said Jennifer Mazzanti.
■“It takes time for a computer processor to get to a true idle state. Think of it as the deep REM sleep we finally get to at night,” continued Mazzanti. “In previous operating systems and over time, a long list of automatic service requests associated with webcams, IM clients, MP3 players and photo editing applications keeps consuming resources -memory, I/O and CPU. These all bog the computer down. Fortunately, Windows 7 has the answer and ‘batches’ the work or engages just as the resources are needed.”
■“The Power Management feature in Windows 7 doubles the battery life of our laptops,” commented Jennifer Mazzanti, “effectively doubling our engineer’s productivity when they’re working on the run without a plug-in power source.”
■“Windows 7 is so operationally ‘lean’ that it can run on older hardware,” shared Mazzanti. “That means our customers can extend the life of their hardware investment which often is a mix of new and older machines.”
■“Windows 7 has another ‘green’ side,” noted Mazzanti. “Group policy enabled power management is a great new tool to help a company be more environmental friendly. Power savings can be particularly significant across an organization.”

What is green computing? It’s about upgrading to the newest hardware and software technologies utilizing IT support specialists like eMazzanti Technologies. The solutions will help green the earth as well as your bottom line.

Each of the aNb Media’s 13 employees was bombarded with so much spam email they wasted at least an hour a day wading through the messages. For employees that also relied on email via mobile devices, reading and eliminating spam email was even more tedious because of the small screen and reduced viewing area. “eMazzanti’s MXINSPECTemail filter solution instantly removed 99 percent of the spam from our network and mobile devices,? said Silver. “That alone gave us back 13 man-hours a day valued at more than $13,000 per month.”
