Information Technology (IT) is currently one of the most polluting protagonists of our society. The exponential growth of hardware, software, and services over the last decade has greatly increased the baneful environmental effects of the IT industry. The term Green IT was probably introduced after the highly successful U.S. Governmental voluntary labeling program "Energy Star" implemented in the early 1990s. Its aim was to promote energy-efficient products, attempting to reduce the emission of greenhouse gas by power plants. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=128840250 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=128840250 Market Insight E911 AND Location-Based Services - Addressing the New Location Accuracy Gap The U.S. Federal Government has mandated automatic location identification for cell phones so that 911 dialers can be quickly found by emergency responders.

Instead Frost & Sullivan views NAC as a solution framework that enables organizations to: 1) Protect the endpoint 2) Compare endpoints against a predefined organizational policy before allowing those endpoints on the network, 3) Provide some form of remediation should an endpoint be seen as out of compliance and 4) Provide continued policy enforcement the entire time the endpoint is on the network. Large vendors such as Microsoft and Cisco are leading the charge in this approach with their Network Admission Control and Network Access Protocol frameworks respectively, however other vendors have had success with appliances. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/report-homepage.pag?Src=RSS&repid=R350-01-00-00-00 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 19:00:47 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/report-homepage.pag?Src=RSS&repid=R350-01-00-00-00 Stratecast Strategic Forecasting Unified OSS/BSS: A Time and a Place This SPIE will discuss both the benefits and issues associated with turn-key OSS/BSS solutions, describe some of the vendors delivering solutions, and analyze what strategies may benefit both small CSPs and integrated OSS/BSS vendors going forward. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-service-segment.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D563-00-5F-00-00 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 18:38:39 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-service-segment.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D563-00-5F-00-00 Market Engineering Research Service World Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (WIPDS) Markets The reseach service addresses the World Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (WIPDS) market.
