Cloud Backup: The Simple Solution for Your Backup Needs

Amos — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 18:35:21 +0000

Imagine what would happen if your servers crashed tomorrow or an unexpected storm left your computers damaged or destroyed. Insurance would probably replace the equipment, but without proper backups, the data would be gone forever. Having a solid data backup solution is critical to the long-term safety of any business. So, what is the best data backup solution?

In the past, backing up and safely storing data was a tedious task that meant spending hours copying data to tapes, discs, or other storage media and then storing them in a location away from your main business location. Today, online cloud backup is becoming the backup method of choice for many individuals and businesses. What is cloud backup? Cloud backup is the process of transferring data via the Internet to an off-site cloud storage company that stores the data for you.

Cloud backup provides virtually unlimited data storage that is secure, inexpensive, and easily accessible when needed. Should a crisis occur, data can be restored to new equipment within minutes or hours, depending on the amount of data to be transferred. Virtually all cloud storage companies, such as VaultScape, provide reasonably priced cloud storage packages for servers, workstations, and laptops. For very limited backup needs, it may even be possible to find cloud storage for free, though most businesses should expect to pay at least a small fee. Data often takes up more space than you think.

There are, however, a few potential barriers to using online cloud backup as your data backup solution. One barrier is the need for high Internet bandwidth. The other is the need for a reasonably fast Internet connection, especially if you will be transferring large amounts of data. Before signing up for cloud storage services, it would be a good idea to contact your Internet service provider to determine what, if any, bandwidth and speed limits there are on your Internet service.

Although online cloud backup is a relatively new concept, it has rapidly become one of the most reliable and most popular backup storage solutions for businesses both big and small. When it comes to protecting your company’s data, having a secure, reliable backup system in place before a crisis happens can mean the difference between disaster recovery and just plain disaster.

Awesome Automatic Openers

Truck drivers are on tight schedules and the importance of staying on schedule matters most with cold storage loads. The operator needs to be in control at all times, from the front of his truck to the lock on the rear door.

Advancement in Trailer Doors

With the modern advancements in the quality and construction of trailer doors and locking components there’s no longer any need to lose time dealing with faulty or sticking locks, poorly operating doors and back injuries from manually opening or closing.

Automatic Door Operators

Cold Chain LLC’s sole purpose of business is to cater to the needs of supplying and securing cold storage containers and door opening and closing systems. Automatic door operators for trailers (www.coldchainllc.com/door-operating-systems) increase security by reducing product loss from theft and false openings. Cold Chain uses automatic infrared door operating systems that are safe and secure as well as easy to use. There’s no need to worry about getting caught beneath the door, either, because the sensors detect the presence of any obstruction and will stop closing and re-open until the obstruction is cleared.

Quick and Consistent

Remote controlled automatic door operators allow customized and consistent control at your fingertips. Programmable controls make closing and locking doors as quick and easy as pushing a button. Better climate control is maintained, such as when loading or unloading, because doors can be closed and locked immediately alleviating the need to leave doors open while rushing to load or unload.

Increased Efficiency, Less Loss

The beauty of a Cold Chain automatic door operating system is that it can be retrofitted to almost any trailer doors, saving you time and effort by utilizing your existing rear or side doors. Expect increased energy and cost efficiency as well as lower insurance costs and less product spoilage.

Affiliate Marketing of Cloud Services

Affiliate Marketing: Future Trends in the Marketplace

Affiliate marketing, as always, will follow the successful trends in the global marketplace. Affiliate programs arise through precise forecasting of what will sell and what won’t. Just as bricks-and-mortar storefronts have to close their doors when business slows to a trickle, affiliate programs can’t maintain themselves unless affiliates can make money selling items as affiliates. And to know what items have the best chance of selling, you need to know the future trends evolving in the global marketplace. Here are some of the trends, not in any particular order, making their impact in the market and on the web:

· The Job Market (or lack of it): Unemployment is at an all-time high. The economy is not in great condition. More than ever, people are looking for ways to make money at home or to start their own small businesses. That means affiliate marketing is spiking with more people looking to become affiliates. To some, that can mean more competition. To glass-half-full people, that means a niche market to sell to – Ebooks, email marketing, selling information on how to make money at affiliate marketing.

· Continued Evolution of Technology: Cloud computing will continue to grow and find new ways of servicing the small user in home-based environments, which will make it easier for people to run businesses from their homes. Mobile devices will remain popular with everyone and the competition will inspire new models of devices that have become part of our everyday lives. People will be looking for smaller and smaller devices; users will be demanding small but speedy. Social networking sites will continue to grow in popularity. Facebook will expand into new areas as yet unseen. With technology being used in more areas of daily life, privacy will be a big concern along with protecting personal information.

· Nesting: During poor economic times, many people look to family and friends for support, staying closer to home and localizing their recreation. Baby boomers are a major force in the marketplace; they are retiring in record numbers. Their concerns are their health, their finances, their children and grandchildren. Younger workers with small children usually have both parents working outside of the home – their concerns are time management, balanced meals, budgeting, work/home balance, child-centered activities and children’s clothing.

Knowing what people want and what they will buy is the key to successful affiliate marketing. Understanding where the marketplace is trending will keep you ahead of the pack.

Why Companies use SharePoint

Amos — Mon, 14 May 2012 11:52:54 +0000

Any business interested in participating in the global economy (and what business isn’t?) must have a robust data sharing system operating in real-time. Without capitalizing on some such system, employees lack the ability to effectively participate in a community of data and idea sharing. The challenge that small- and medium-sized companies face in providing such a community is typically cost effectiveness and lack of physical space required for hosting. One smart, increasingly popular solution is offsite managed hosting services. SharePoint hosting services are a prime example of one of these newly available, custom site hosts.

SharePoint hosting is cost-effective because your company doesn’t bear the burden of the on-site infrastructure usually required to make this level of accessibility possible. It’s beneficial to avoid the initial costs of servers, but the real savings come from elimination of the need for on-site resources to manage those servers. Using offsite SharePoint services saves money almost immediately. It displays long-term return on investment by saving your company the time often spent on IT maintenance and by allowing more time to be spent growing your business.

Visit www.expertsharepointconsulting.com for more information.

Providing an affordable, cost-effective space online for your team to share information is relatively easy. Doing so securely is another matter entirely. SharePoint hosting offers 24/7 security against hackers, worms, viruses and nearly every other Internet threat to the security of a business. Thanks to the cutting edge firewalls and virus detection programs which are included within the SharePoint service, companies implementing offsite hosting with SharePoint will avoid outages or interruptions in important services.

All businesses, big or small, seek to find a balance between reliable data access and cost-effective data access. While there are times where it seems like these two may be mutually exclusive, that’s simply not the case. Choosing the best hosting services can make it possible to achieve both objectives. SharePoint offers the necessary access at very competitive costs with the additional benefit of offering trained professionals on-call to troubleshoot any difficulties that may arise. Everything about SharePoint services exists with the goal of helping your company achieve higher profit margins. Comprehensive and convenient, it is a next generation hosting service that brings your team together and makes the fluid exchange of ideas easier than ever before. Rather than focusing on the specifics of how to maintain and secure their collaboration software, SharePoint hosting services all businesses to focus on the optimal usage for the technology.

How to Change Your WordPress Theme

WordPress is an incredibly flexible CMS (Content Management System) and blogging platform, which enables you to change the ‘skin’ and functionality of your site with a few clicks.

Imagine that you no longer want your red themed site and want a blue one, or if you need a three column site rather than a one column site. That’s easy to do simply by changing the theme.

There are thousands of WordPress themes available to choose from, from free to premium quality, magazine style, blog style, corporate style, the list goes on.

OK, so how do you go about changing a WordPress theme?

Free wordpress themes at www.wordpressmedia.com

First of all log into your WordPress Dashboard found at yoursite.com/wp-admin. From there you need to click Appearance on the left, and then Themes.

Clicking the Install Themes tab at the top will give you some options: you can Search for a theme using the search box and the filter tick boxes at the bottom, or you can Upload a theme from your computer, or search by Featured, Newest or Recently updated themes.

Let say that you’re going to look for a blue blog theme, type Blog into the search box and tick Blue and then hit search.

You will then be faced with all the possibilities from your search, which you can browse through. By clicking the Preview link below each Image you can see roughly how the them will look. When you have decided on your perfect theme, click the install button. WordPress will then download the theme. Once done click the Activate link.

The theme will then be live on your site. You need to do a few things now. Firstly, have a look at the setting of the theme (most have these) and change what you need to, from colours, font sizes, to menus and widgets. Then have a look at your site and make sure everything is OK, as sometimes themes don’t always do what’s expected, especially free themes.

Downloaded a theme, and decide actually you don’t like it? No problem a few more clicks and you can revert back to your original theme. Simply go tot Appearances, Themes find your theme in the list of available themes and click Activate. Done.

So there you have it, changing a theme on WordPress is simple and quick, allowing you to change your sites look without coding knowledge or paying a web designer.

Advanced SQL Server Programming

Microsoft Great Plains Integration Manager – Advanced Techniques

Great Plains Integration Manager scripting and translation – overview for programmer, software developer, database administrator, IT specialist

Microsoft Business Solutions main middle market ERP application – Microsoft Great Plains has multiple integration options: MS SQL Scripting (stored procedures and views), ADO.Net programming, Microsoft SQL Server DTS packages. You certainly can deploy such SDK tools as eConnect. However here we would like to show you how to program the simplest user friendly tool: Microsoft Great Plains Integration Manager.

We assume that you are familiar with Microsoft scripting technologies: Visual Basic for Application (VBA). You should be aware, however, about poor performance of Integration Manager. We recommend it for low volume of complex transactions. It is good tool, if you are importing about 100 transactions per day from text file (when you need to come through empty lines or something not matching the template to filter integration lines). If you have thousand transactions and performance is critical – switch to SQL Stored procs or Dexterity custom process server.

learnit.com is great for learning programming.

1. VBA Scripting – Launch Great Plains Integration Manager, open your integration, right click->Properties, switch tab to scripts, open Before Document script. Now place this code in it:

If Left(SourceFields(“F4″), 4)=”THRU” Then

SetVariable “DocDate”, Right(SourceFields(“F4″), 8)

End If

If IsNull(SourceFields(“F1″)) Or IsNull(SourceFields(“F7″)) Then

CancelDocument

End If

It should mean that you can create DocDate variable and assign it the value from your query field. The second statement cancels document integration if certain condition met (when line is empty or is not actually integration line – something like comment record, etc.)

Now open Before Document Commit script and place this code there:

Dim MyTime, MyHour

MyTime = Now

MyHour = Hour(MyTime)

If Not IsNull(GetVariable(“DocDate”)) then

SetVariable “DocNumber”, GetVariable(“DocNumber”)+1

DestinationFields(“Document Number”)=”THRU”+GetVariable(“DocDate”) &”A” & GetVariable(“DocNumber”)

DestinationFields(“Posting Date”)=GetVariable(“DocDate”)

DestinationFields(“Description”)=”Client Check “+ SourceFields(“F1″)

If Not IsNull(SourceFields(“F8″)) Then

DestinationFields(“Check.Check Number”)=SourceFields(“F8″)

Else

SetVariable “DocNumber”, GetVariable(“DocNumber”)+1

DestinationFields(“Check.Check Number”)=GetVariable(“DocDate”)& MyHour&GetVariable(“DocNumber”)

End If

DestinationFields(“Check.Date”)=GetVariable(“DocDate”)

If Month(DestinationFields(“Check.Date”)+1)= Month(DestinationFields(“Check.Date”)) Then

DestinationFields(“Check.Date”)=DestinationFields(“Check.Date”)+1

End If

Here you do two things. First you construct check number, using Date and time plus Document number. And the second is even more interesting – you alter check date.

In After Integration script place this code:

ClearVariables

It is good idea to nullify your variables.

2. Translation. Imagine that your are something like collection agency and you need to translate your vendors (from whom you purchase AR) into real vendors (banks). In AP integration open Destination Mapping, select Vendor ID, in the Rule Properties, click on the button next to Translation field, answer No, click on Translation tab and paste from Excel your translation list, something like this:

JOHNB BANKOFAMERICA

PETERP BANKOFAMERICA

MARTHAM CITIBANK

Now your vendors from integration file will be replaced with real vendors from Great Plains.

The Simple Object Access Protocol

Amos — Mon, 14 May 2012 11:11:00 +0000

Web Services (WS) are business logic components which provide functionality via the Internet using standard protocols such as HTTP. It can convert your application into a Web-application, which can publish its function or message to the rest of the world. I.e. WS describes a standardized way of integrating Web-based applications using the XML, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI open standards over an Internet protocol backbone.Thus it is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network.

WS uses Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) in order to expose the business functionality. SOAP defines a standardized format in eXtensible Markup Language (XML) which can be exchanged between two entities over standard protocols such as HTTP. SOAP is platform independent so the consumer of a Web Service is therefore completely shielded from any implementation details about the platform exposing the Web Service. For the consumer it is simply a black box of send and receive XML over HTTP. So any web service hosted on windows can also be consumed by UNIX and LINUX platform.

Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)

SOAP is an XML-based protocol that enables software components and applications to communicate with one another. It defines rules to translate application and platform-specific data into the XML format. SOAP allows you to communicate with the Web Service using protocols such as HTTP and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. SOAP has three main sections:-

Envelope: Contains elements such as the header and body of the SOAP messaging structure. It also includes an encoding Style attribute that specifies the representation of data in messages.

Header: Encapsulates extended messages without adding or modifying the standard message flow.

Body: Contains Web application-specific data. It defines the purpose of sending the message. The body element should be the first element under the envelope element if there is no header element.

More about Simple Object Access Protocol at www.soapconsultant.com

Web Services Description Language (WSDL)

WSDL is an XML-based file that describes a Web service. A WSDL document describes the methods provided by a Web service and the input, output, and connection parameters. Web service definitions can be mapped to any implementation language, platform, object model, or messaging system. Simple extensions to existing Internet infrastructure can implement WS for interaction via browsers or directly within an application. The application could be implemented using COM, JMS, CORBA, COBOL, or any number of proprietary integration solutions.

Universal Description, Discovery and Integration(UDDI)

UDDI is an industry standard that is used to locate WS on the Internet. It is an XML-based registry that enables enterprises to list their WS on the Internet. UDDI enables organizations to perform secure online transactions. The UDDI company registry contains a comprehensive list of available WS and provides links to discovery documents of WS. These discovery documents, called DISCO files, contain links to WSDL documents.

Web services do not provide the user with a GUI. WS share business logic, data and processes through a programmatic interface across a network. Developers can then add the Web service to a GUI (such as a Web page or an executable program) to offer specific functionality to users. WS do not require the use of browsers or HTML.

Web services allow different applications from different sources to communicate with each other without time-consuming custom coding, and because all communication is in XML, WS are not tied to any one operating system or programming language. For example, Java can talk with Perl, Windows applications can talk with UNIX applications.

Advantages & Disadvantages of WS

Interoperability - This is the most important benefit of WS. WS typically work outside of private networks, offering developers a non-proprietary route to their solutions. WS also let developers use their preferred programming languages. WS are virtually platform-independent.

Usability - WS allow the business logic of many different systems to be exposed over the Web.

Reusability - WS provide not a component-based model of application development, but the closest thing possible to zero-coding deployment of such services. This makes it easy to reuse WS components as appropriate in other services.

Deployability - WS are deployed over standard Internet technologies. This makes it possible to deploy WS even over the fire wall to servers running on the Internet on the other side of the globe.

Disadvantage

The problem with HTTP and HTTPS when it comes to WS is that these protocols are “stateless”-the interaction between the server and client is typically brief and when there is no data being exchanged, the server and client have no knowledge of each other. More specifically, if a client makes a request to the server, receives some information, and then immediately crashes due to a power outage, the server never knows that the client is no longer active. The server needs a way to keep track of what a client is doing and also to determine when a client is no longer active.

Caffeine-Assisted All Night Software Development

The Business of Software Development – Not For Nerds Or Techno Geeks

I have seen it happening in almost all the seminars and conferences that I have attended. As businesspersons, we enjoy the opportunity of networking during the gourmet coffee (if we are lucky) breaks and lunch between long sessions and powerpoint presentations provide us. Plates and glasses in hand, small groups form on the floor of the recreation lounge; and light to moderately intense conversations blossom forth. Talk to these groups about anything under the sun: be it planning, be it the latest regulation or ruling on taxes, be it the latest opportunity in some exotic venture, be it the latest rumor about some takeover or acquisition, the participants are brimming with it all, eagerly exchanging notes. But, the moment somebody utters the word “software”, you can almost see visions of high-tech computer labs, of nerds and techno-geeks banging their keyboards, of difficult-to-pronounce words and heavy jargon, clouding the visage of most of the listeners around. It is as if there is an invisible barrier that breaks the steps of these otherwise very techno-savvy, and very, very computer-literate people. Taking that one single step, from using somebody’s program to run one’s business, to developing perhaps an even better program and then selling it and making money, is in reality simple, but psychologically daunting.

Yet, the business of software development is today one of the most exciting domains, with every new day throwing up new models, newer ways of doing things, and newer technologies that keep the broth in the pot stirring. As in any other business, it has its share of stunning successes as well as mega failures. The challenges that an entrepreneur faces in a software venture are the same that any businessperson gets to face in any other venture: competition from new products on the market, market regulations that define how you play the game, customers with fickle loyalties, threats of acquisitions / takeover (in case you are a public holding outfit),… yes, the terrain is quite similar, alright.

Look, sometimes you are in a breakthrough and don’t want to stop for the night. The right caffeine product, like from www.whitecloudcoffee.com has proven ideal for our late night software development. But more on that another time.

It is the presence of certain uniquely topographical features on this terrain that makes the domain exciting. As entrepreneur and businessperson, you have to simply understand these unique features in order to make your journey both enjoyable and profitable.

Here are a few of the unique aspects about this business. If you are on the crossroads of what business to do next, reading on might just change the course of your life!

- While almost every business on earth deals with goods that are tangible; meaning, they can be seen, touched, and felt, the business of software development deals with an entity that is intangible: ideas. This implies two things: One, that you really do not need lots of startup capital to launch the venture. Just a standard desktop, a broadband connection, and a good working ambience around you, and you are in business. And, the second point is essentially a corollary of the first: in case you ever want to exit from this domain, the exit pain is minimal (only the emotional tugs at your heart will continue to hurt for some time). If you have entered into legally-binding contracts with your customers or vendors or any other agency in the course of your business, then obviously, extricating yourself from them will need some deft footwork.

- In the business of software, there is a level playing field for all the players. So it does not matter if you are a one-person outfit operating out of your kitchen or a deep-pocket honcho who flies in their own Boeing around the world, with an army of programmers working for you. It is the idea that you are working on, it is the software that you have produced, that matters. If your idea has the potential to change the way the world functions, or if it can do things in an incrementally better, more productive, or saves on costs, then your product takes less time to reach your customers than it takes you to blink! With internet becoming ubiquitous and bandwidth speeds burning optical fibers across continents, information about your product and its unique advantages can reach the far corners of the world within no time. By the time your competition, big and small, scramble to cobble up a solution that mimics your product’s functionality or betters it, you would have reaped the benefits of being the first mover; and its impact on your bank account is definitely handsome.

- It was in the domain of software that outsourcing as a model was first devised and implemented. Today, and this is very important, you need not be a software specialist or programmer or coder yourself in order to run a software business. You have the option of hiring people who are experts in the profession on monthly or on project-by-project basis, and that too on the best rates. Since the “goods” that these people produce is in the form of software that can be transferred to you over communication wires (or through wireless ether), they may be sitting half-way around the world for all you care.

- Software is not a use-and-throw consummable like a can of coke or the battery of your watch. People use it, and use it again and again. In fact, the more they use it, the more your product becomes indispensable to them. The “shelf life” of your products is, theoretically at least, infinity. But human beings as they are, you will invariably begin receiving complaints and suggestions about how the product can be improved upon further. This leads you to generate a new avatar of the same product, one that has more bells and whistles than its predecessor. The moral is this: if your customer is satisfied with your product and becomes used to your product, and if you keep them happy with newer versions of the same (at an incremental cost that goes easy on their wallet and also brings food on your table), your customerbase is steady.

I can come up with other aspects that make this line of business unique; but you get the idea. The market is full of how-to books on how to go about setting up a software business and make it a success; a quick browse through the results that Google throws up will lead you to them. I came across one book that was written in 2001. Written by Benjamin Prater, this book’s style is typical of American marketing campaigns: lots of hype and lots of hoopla. But if you cut away all hype and hoopla, and dip into the contents, there are a lot of gems that you can take away with you.

Introspect. Turn inward and ask yourself searching questions. It does not matter if you are not a technogeek or a nerd. It does not matter if you cannot understand computer programming. But if you are an entrepreneur at heart, if you have the guts and the perseverance to take on a challenge, you will find plenty of it in the business of developing and selling softwares. You will of course find plenty of money in this business.

All the best!
