Clusters, Clouds and the Future of Storage
by Bill Zalud
In the next few years, visionaries such as John Honovich believe there will be a significant transition away from digital video recorders (DVR) and network video recorders (NVR) to be replaced by clustered storage that communicates with servers over an IP network. The economics are becoming very attractive for such a move, especially in larger scale deployments, wrote Honovich in an IP Video Market posting.

Fingering Crooks; Message System Planned To Curb Downtown Crime
Downtown property and business owners will soon be using their thumbs to spread the word about shoplifters, vandals, creeps or other problems in the area.
