The Social Media Revolution is upon us:

* 80% of companies use LinkedIn as the primary tool to find new employees
* If Facebook were a country, it would be the world's 4th largest.
* 96% of Generation Y uses some form of Social Media

Instant Messaging (IM) is also growing in popularity with both corporate and consumer users, it is estimated there will be nearly 2.4 billion IM accounts worldwide in 2010, growing to just over 3.5 billion by 2014. These communications will be subject to the same retention regulations as email and companies to prepare for this.

If both Google and the Library of Congress have decided to archive EVERY TWEET (all 11 Billion of them) since the inception of Twitter in March of 2006, don't you think your company should archive them as well? Check out the Webinar: Hosted Archiving Solutions for IM, Texts and Tweets to learn how to integrate these communications into your data archiving strategy.

Ok, you Sonian guys are rising to the level of SPAMMER

The last few entires are nothing but blatant advertising and I don't think it is appropriate for this forum. If you want to advertise, then pay Novell for add-space and stop with the "blogging" that is nothing but blatant advertising.

i'm sorry?

I don't know how I offended you, other than the fact that we have a fundamental disagreement regarding adoption of cloud computing, but i suppose I have.

I won't hide the fact that I promoted a webinar in the last post, but the post itself and the webinar are, in tone and in content, educational and informative, and I am not trying to sell anything. However, if the content itself is inappropriate for this forum, I apologize and I will be more thoughtful next time I choose to post. I only felt it was OK to post because I have seen other vendors promoting their own webinars.

With that said, you point is noted and I will be more careful with the content I post from here on.

Thanks,
Alec

Promoting and Idea -s Promotoing a Product

We have disagreed on the cloud but that being said there is room for the cloud in the storage space, but those are different conversations.

If you want to provide education and not be perceived as a spammer, at least by me, then point people to vendor neutral presentations or present generic information about the cloud and show ALL the benefits and ALL the risks.

I have not seen a single piece from you concerning disaster recovery ( Sonian's or anyone else's for that matter ) or data recovery. Can any of these vendors that are advertising this stuff, especially for GroupWise say that they can hand it back to you in a format that can be put BACK into your GW system?

These are not small questions. Suppose a vendor that does e-mail archiving is heading for the skids and now I have my entire companies e-mail archive over at an archiving vendor, what is my recourse?

The answer cannot be "You need to pick the right one" because they ALL sound like the right one, they ALL promise the moon for a very low monthly fee.

Blog about those kinds of issues and I might start trusting the cloud a bit more, but until then, not bloody likely. Give this a read http://www.novell.com/communities/node/11577/cloud... and then perhaps reply to it.
