How To Stay Ahead of the Growing Trend for "Anywhere, Anytime" Data
The immense growth of IP-based data traffic and applications on mobile devices is pushing the adoption of 4G technologies and fueling the migration to faster data rates.
Service providers busy with migration strategies are upgrading existing networks as stop-gap measures to allow an all-IP based services platform.
Carriers and handset vendors are differentiating their offerings by rolling out application portals while providing improved monetization and ARPU.
User mobility is pushing the trend for "anywhere, anytime" data technology, while applications are driving the subscriber need.

Avoiding the Virtual CPU Dilemma – Overprovisioning vCPU to pCPU ratios
2011 was a year where despite the economic constraints everything Big was seemingly good; Big Data, Big Clouds, Big VMs etc.
Caught in the industry’s lust for this excess, 2011 was also the year I lost count of how many overprovisioned resources to ‘Big’ Production VMs I witnessed. More often than not this was a typical reaction from System Admins trying to alleviate their fears of potential performance problems to important VMs.
It was the year where I began to hear justifications such as “yes we are overprovisioning our production VMs..but apart from the cost savings, overallocating our available underlying resources to a VM isn’t a bad thing, in fact it allows it to be scalable”.
Despite this 2011 was also the year where I lost count of the amount of times I had to point out that sometimes overprovisioning a VM does lead to performance problems – specifically when dealing with Virtual CPUs.
Lawful Interception: What is it and why is it important?
by Jay Botelho
On the heels of the year’s much discussed email phishing campaigns, cyber attacks, and data breaches came one of the biggest security conferences of 2011: ISS World, Kuala Lumpur.
ISS World presents methodologies as well as tools that help bridge the chasm between how intercepted data is lawfully gathered to using this information for actionable intelligence.
Attendees of the conference commonly include law enforcement, intelligence and interior security analysts, as well as telecom operators who perform, manage, and address the lawful interception of network data for electronic criminal investigations.
Top sessions for 2011’s conference included “Top Ten Internet Challenges Facing Law Enforcement and The Intelligence Community” and “Guru Panel on Best Practices for Deploying Intelligence Probes and DPI for Lawful Interception”.
