KEMP has built a large and loyal install base across a range of market segments, applications and geographies. These include a large number of customers who have deployed KEMP's LoadMaster load balancers in conjunction with Microsoft workloads. As a part of the solution for Exchange, Lync or SharePoint a key component has historically been Microsoft's Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG). One key feature of TMG was that it offered customers a way to publish and protect workload servers such as Exchange Client Access Servers especially in Internet Facing deployments where a clean separation between critical infrastructure and the public internet is essential. Now that End Of Sale for TMG has arrived*, KEMP Technologies will be extending the successful LoadMaster platform with a new security feature pack to build on existing core technologies such as the Reverse Proxy function which has enabled successful joint deployments of TMG and LoadMaster in Internet Facing Microsoft applications.

Although, we continuously talk about security or the lack of it, the main threat to Cloud computing are power outages according to a Gartner analyst! Outages by various cloud providers have been more common than security breaches, Gartner says, but few businesses are prepared for them. Companies can suffer data losses during power outages which as we have seen in recent incidents caused by routine systems upgrades.

This 18th edition of Greenpeace's Guide to Greener Electronics evaluates leading consumer electronics companies based on their commitment and progress in three environmental criteria: Energy and Climate, Greener Products, and Sustainable Operations. The Guide scores companies on overall policies and practices – not on specific products – to provide consumers with a snapshot of the sustainability of the biggest names in the industry. This Guide is not an endorsement for buying products from one company or another. HP is still above most companies on the ranking, but has lost its top spot from the most recent edition of the Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics, and now sits in 2nd position, with 5.7 points, behind newcomer Wipro. Dell drops to 5th position, with 4.6 points. While Dell scores high overall, the company scores poorly on all Products criteria. Dell previously pushed back its commitment to eliminate polyvinyl chloride plastic (PVC) and brominated frame retardants (BFRs) from 2010 to 2011. Yet, Dell still hasn't removed these chemicals from all of its products as promised, and still has no phase-out date for hazardous substances. Apple drops to 6th position, with a score of 4.6. Though one of the high scorers in this edition, Apple misses out on points for lack of transparency on GHG emission reporting, clean energy advocacy, further information on its management of toxic chemicals, and details on post-consumer recycled plastic use.
