** Tom Worthington: A Watershed for the Networked Organisation **
With trends for carbon neutral, thin client, wireless and open source
converging to signal a radical change in the use and distribution of the
desktop personal computer and the desktop phone, the CIO is being presented
with real challenges for transformation.
Low power, diskless and low cost advances are creating alternatives and
opportunities for the organisation to simplify their systems. Some of the
results from testing those alternatives with carbon neutral thin client
computers, handheld Linux systems and diskless sub notebook computers will be
included and discussed in this presentation.
If low power and portable networked systems are set to revolutionise the
organisation, the CIO needs to be ready.
Tom Worthington will demonstrate, citing devices such as the Zonbu Thin Client
Computer and the Asus Eee PC.
** Matt Palmer: SNMP: 'e's not dead, 'e's just restin' **
What SNMP is, why it's still useful these days, how easy it really is to get
SNMP stuff working, and a tour of a simple way to provide custom data through
SNMP.
