The ever growing world of mobile apps, is Cloud the answer?
The boom in mobile apps has often been seen as a liberalising one, a market open to anyone, or any group, with the ability to put together a ‘killer app’. It’s in some ways reminiscent of the early days of videogames, with classic titles such as Manic Miner or Dizzy, designed and programmed by one or two young upstarts rather than today’s teams of dozens. App stores have meant a reawakening of these “bedroom programmers”, giving them a place alongside well-financed start-ups and long-established software developers.
Mobile Meets Cloud
The acquisition of many mobile application software companies looks set to accelerate by Telcos globally. Identifying applications which will drive bandwidth usage and overall consumption has become a strategic priority. But as the power of devices increases, it can be difficult to know which applications are the most useful and how to benefit from their functionality.
The ‘Slashdot effect’
It’s an experience common online – someone sends you a link via email or Twitter or Facebook, perhaps to the newest social networking tool, to an interesting news story, or a photo of a cute kitten. You click on the link and… nothing. Whatever the link is, it’s been too popular for its own good and can’t handle the heavy traffic.
DrupalCon
DrupalCon London was recently held at Fairfields Halls in Croydon. A sell out event, it brought the UK and wider Drupal community together for one week to discuss the past present and future of Drupal.
Don't let outages shut the cloud door
Nothing in the world is perfect. IT solutions, in particular, are prone to going wrong at the most inopportune times. If it’s an important PowerPoint presentation, it can be embarrassing. If it’s your e-commerce site or email, then it could seriously impact your business and your bottom line.
University eLearning and The Cloud
Universities are under increasing pressure to deliver ‘more with less’. All but five universities in England and Wales will have less money from the government for the new academic year, starting in September 2011 and close to a billion pounds is being cut from university funding in total.
Control the Cloud
The hosting market is crowded, with many new entrants eager to jump on the bandwagon – particularly resellers, who buy hosting capacity and sell it at a profit.
The C Word....... Commitment!
Probably one of the scariest words in a new relationship I expect. Yet with every new customer DediPower gains, a new committed relationship begins.
I have failed my PCI compliance scan... what is backporting?
So, you have just failed your PCI compliance scan and been told that you are running an SSH server version from 2001 with 36 current vulnerabilities. At first glance, this is of course a severe cause for concern, and rightly so!
ISO 27001 Certification – what does it actually mean?
I constantly hear of people demanding that their suppliers must have ISO 27001 certification; but what does it actually mean?
Full Throttle Thrills - DediPower F1 Event
IPv6 - what’s the buzz about a technology that has been available for over a decade?
If you enter IPv6 into your favourite search engine you will find a plethora of blogs and docs that have been written about IPv6 over the years, and let’s face it the technology has been available since the end of the last millennium. So it’s about time that the world as a whole took to implementing the technology on a global scale.
Is the Cloud right for everyone?
I am just putting the final touches to my presentation on Tuesday at Internet World at Earls Court (do stop by and see us at the show if you’re there). Titled “Ecommerce In the Cloud”, I will be talking about a number of points, some of which I thought you may appreciate a preview of here.
Don’t go it alone
Well here it is, after much chasing from the Web Team and Marketing and a very gentle nudge from the CEO I sit to write my Blog. To be honest, the delay hasn’t been through lack of interest or motivation, but the question of “what to write about first?”
Revolution Awards 2011
A glittering night of awards recognising some of Britain’s leading digital marketing professionals was one not to be missed.

DediPower Digital Awards – Winners Announced
Entrepreneurship was the order of the day at the judging of the 2011 DediPower Digital awards. After receiving entries from such a wide variety of people with so many different ideas, all keeping digital at the heart of their business, it was hard to believe we would ever be able to pick the winners.
Android App Results
It’s been a month since we launched the Android app for our portal and thanks to the new Google App Market statistics we can have an interesting look at the demographics of the App use (this doesn’t in any way reflect the geographic demographic of Dedipowers Customer Base).
Smartphones devices and corporate data - should companies be worried?
Today lots of busy executives are using a wide array of devices for accessing company info. It is estimated that tablet devices and smartphones now account for over 5% of devices accessing company corporate data and this is only going to continue to grow. Having all this corporate data moving around and stored outside of the office takes the lost laptop issue to another level. The challenge for IT staff responsible for data security is getting tougher by the minute. Smartphones are particularly more vulnerable due to their size and presence in a huge variety of situations. Coupled with that, the devices themselves are constantly becoming more powerful and sophisticated with greater storage and improved browsing capabilities.
DediPower helps to make a change for Africa
I can still remember the excitement when I was first going to Kenya. I didn’t know what to expect but one thing I knew, it would be a completely different holiday than any I had experienced so far.
