...of any and all issues relating to the network (OTRS Team, 2012). A very useful feature of trouble ticket systems is that they save and archive the tickets with all pertinent information like who was involved, the problem and any notes or solutions (OTRS Team, 2012). In case a particular event occurs again the help desk team has a reference to look to for assistance. With any kind of machine or system, maintenance must take place in order for it to perform to its full potential. Software and hardware updates are essential for the smooth running of a network (TWD & Associates, Inc., 2012). Many updates provide fixes to known bugs (TWD & Associates, Inc., 2012). Backups are also important as they provide a safety net in the event of lost data. Load balancing and traffic analysis allow for the appropriate allocation of bandwidth for traffic sent over the network (TWD & Associates, Inc., 2012). A management agent is a program that is downloaded to a network...

... Introduction Inventory of assets is the accounting of information technology and systems, both hardware and software, that is necessary for maintaining a stable and accurate support in order to provide information security and assurance, disaster recovery, as well as to avoid service interruption. In any organization, it is important to have an organized list of all assets including hardware and software, as well as licensing. Company-issued laptops, smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices can be an easy target of cyber attackers. It is ideal to have an organized way of keeping track of company assets (i.e. spreadsheets or database). Quick references such as spreadsheets/workbooks or databases can easily provide reports of asset inventory containing type of equipment, count, value, asset tag information, software license number, license expiration, employee ID to whom assets are issued to, etc. As an employee of any company or organization, the company issued laptops, devices and other peripherals should be the responsibility of the employee that the item(s) is issued to. A stolen laptop could cause the company a huge amount because it does not only require the replacement cost, but has serious security concerns involved. According to Mitnick and Simon, “Even when security is being well handled within a company, there is too often a tendency to overlook the corporate network, leaving an opening that attacker(s) can take advantage of. Laptops and home computers that...

...health segment. Mobile computing devices and other portable devices such as iPods and iPads have redefined the relationship between computers and human beings. These technological advances signify substantial evidence of departure from computational paradigms, which necessitated users to explicitly interact with computing systems to achieve the expected results. The health sector is also demonstrating its pursuit to be in tandem with the changing technology. By using advanced methods, which are not substitutes, but techniques to improve monitoring of patients health, the sector has demonstrated the efficiency of the use of technology to monitor patients’ status even while at home. This global integration of operations from different applications enables data sharing, via image, and voice outputs. According to Magal and Word (2011), patient monitoring is indispensable to any health facility. Several departments are equipped with electrical and computing devices that facilitate the monitoring of patient status. Not only are these facilities meant for use in the health centers, but also, technology has opened up other platforms through which patients can share their experiences with other patients of similar conditions, and monitor their health progress without the need of visiting health centers physically. Comparison of Inpatient Monitoring and the Use of Mobile Devices A survey carried out to determine the efficiency of the use of mobile devices to monitor patient’s health, revealed...

The company’s headquarters and research and development site are located in Sunnyvale, CA, while the wafer manufacturing plants are located in Austin, TX and Dresden, Germany. The test and assembly facilities are located in Bangkok, Thailand and Penang, Malaysia. The company has also established production at the Singapore’s test and assembly facility as well as an analysis and design plant in Suzhou, China. In addition, a new plant in Japan, a joint venture of AMD and Fujitsu, called AMD Fujitsu Semiconductor Ltd. or FASB, will begin operations in the first half of 2001 (Dum 2000, 2). AMD, like many technological multinational enterprises (MNE), prefers to locate its factories and assembly plants in technology clusters in stable and democratic countries.

...CONDITIONS OF BAIL ( IN DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED CASES AND OTHER OFFENSES) BY JUDGE SCOTT E.

See generally Penal Code §49.04. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO BAIL AND ITS IMPORTANCE Articles I § II of the Texas Constitution provides that all prisoners are “bailable”[1] pending trial, unless charged with a capital offense.[2] The primary purpose of an appearance bond is to secure the presence of the defendant in court for the trial of the offense charged. Ex parte Rodriguez, 595 S.W.2d 549, 550 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1980]. The United States Supreme Court in Stack Vs. Boyle, 342 U.S. 1, 96 L. Ed. 3, 72 S. Ct 1 (1951) stated: “The right to release before trial is conditioned upon accused’s giving adequate assurance that he will stand trial and submit to sentence if found guilty. Like the ancient practice of securing oaths of responsible persons to stand as sureties for the accused, the modern practice of requiring a bail bond or the deposit of money...

...Solution Overview Smarter Video Surveillance with NETGEAR® Solution Overview Abstract and Audience NETGEAR® Solution Overviews provide high-level solutions to common business IT challenges for end users, Value-Added Resellers (VARs), and IT managers. They give an elementary overview and basic business benefits, and are commonly used during the initial inquiry stage. Introduction Video surveillance, or CCTV (closed-circuit television), is a 30-year old industry that is critical for business. Different organizations use video surveillance to protect people’s safety, protect valuable assets, or minimize risks associated with criminal activity. One of the biggest trends in surveillance is the accelerating shift to IP from analog. With about 15 million surveillance cameras installed in the United States today, almost 10 percent are now IP based. In the past, only larger companies could afford IP video surveillance. The proliferation of IP networks and the falling prices on IP video cameras and storage has made video capture and storage over IP networks faster, more reliable, simpler, and affordable; making these solutions an attractive option for many industry sectors, including retail shops, educational institutions, governments, and any business requiring security surveillance. The Benefits of IP Cameras for Video Surveillance Secure and Easy Access to Live Video Steams and Recorded Footage One of the biggest drawbacks to traditional analog CCTV...
