The Internet is a wonderful thing, businesses transact, friends keep in touch, product is ordered, items are shipped, knowledge is transferred and so much more.
The Internet was once thought of as a tool for doing business, how it is much more than that now, the Internet is the Toolbox that many businesses leverage daily to ensure that their products and solutions reach their markets.
How can something so great get so abused? Abuse of valuable Internet bandwidth happens daily and many businesses do not even realize what is happening. Who is surfing facebook.com for hours a day? How about that employee using your clients’ network to find a new job?
Each day in Calgary thousands of hours are wasted surfing the Internet for non business uses, costing Calgary businesses thousands of dollars.
The Cymphonix Network Composer solution provides small to enterprise business with a tool that can monitor, report and even block abuses of a company’s Internet pipe. Running at the application layer, Network Composer can play big brother, slow access to a particular app or user or total stop the use of bandwidth stealing applications like Internet Radio, Youtube and other services that may not play into the corporate IT strategy.
Attend SAMUC’s November event and learn more about Cymphonix and Network Composer.
November’s event is sponsored by Cymphonix.
Our guest speaker is Dave Neuenschwander from Cymphonix.

Oct 14 is tomorrow and our next event at SAMUC. Join us at the Calgary Coast Plaza Hotel for an evening with Adam Duckett of Data Domain.

From its inception, Data Domain has helped customers reduce or eliminate the use of tape infrastructures with a very efficient disk- and network-based data protection alternative. Today, Data Domain customers are expanding the use of their systems to include a broad range of near-line workloads and use cases beyond data protection. In essence, Data Domain’s file system technology represents a new generation of data versioning and replication efficiency. Data Domain’s strategy is to continue bringing new storage and network efficiencies to the enterprise data storage arena on a single, integrated product platform to improve storage economics and simplify data management for its customers.
Join us Oct 14 at 6:30 PM at the Calgary Coast Plaza Hotel, 1316 33rd Street NE. Meet and Great starts at 6 PM. Still some room. Event is sponsored by Data Domain.

Our friends over at the Calgary IT Pro User Group are having a very special Windows Vista event on November 3 that I recommend that everyone attend. Some people ask me what the difference is between our two groups and the answer is quite simple. The Calgary IT Pro UG is designed to promote technology and the technical know how of Microsoft and other solutions while SAMUC is geared toward the application of these solutions in business and the positive impact technology has on business.
SAMUC recommends that everyone belong to each others group and build a wonderful Calgary IT Professional community.
I highly recommend that you check out their next event on Nov 3, this morning event will cover Windows Vista and you can find out more information by clicking here.
