Important business show(s) attended

Recently we had to attend the IPEXPO comptuer exhibition and companies from accross the board such as Intel, Microsoft, Dell, HP, Toshiba we're all there demonstrating their new and improved products to the IT industry.  The event was held at Earls Court London and many guests speakers we're taking part in seminars which largely dealt with Cloud computing.  There was a mini lecture theatre where one of the guest speakers gave a talk on the many different aspects of Cloud computing which is a fairly new technology being introduced into the world of computing today.

At one point the guest speaker was having a few teething

problems with his  wireless slides being projected             

onto the screen via projector and wireless laptop                 

(Teething problmes on day one)     

Many people turned up for this event, amazingly a new record was set and set targets for the number of people that we're suppose to attend went through roof - Many thousands of people attend this two day event and particular attention was being paid to the semminars on Cloud Computing and how this technology could find it's way into businesses and improve business twofold.  Many business leaders from many fields attended this computer show which was very popular as can been seen from the many people that attended the show.

Motorola, who one would normally associate with mobile phones we're also at the IPEXPO exhibition launching their new product range which could vastly improve upon the way current businesses did their business using current mobile phone technology as illustrated in the following picture below.

Many more companies that attended this year's IPEXPO delivered some unparalled sofware that was very hard to beat.  Fro example, at the show, a company started to hand out flyers and free demonstration CD's which included software that could archive all your emails (PST files) and then transfer those archived files to appropriate mdeida such as CD/DVD, floppy disk (still in use today) tape drive, flash drive, SD memory cards for backup purposes only.  Using this sort of software allows users to back up all thier e-mails and transfer them safely to appropriate back up media instead of doing it the long way around using Outlook/Outlook Express.  This can be of great benefit should you accidentally delete your e-mails or your email contact list has become so corrupted that emails that we're once in your e-mail folder cannot be read anymore.  Backing up emails in (especially PST files which includes contact lists, phone numbers, addresses, etc) is quite a long winded process since you have to export email files to an appropriate format and then burn these files to disk.  What the email archival progam does is back-up these files and then immediately allow you to transfer these files without having to go through a long winded processes of converting/exporting PSt files to CSV and then transferring CSV files to appropriate storage media.

The many thousands who attended we're all drawn to the many different stands accross the entire perimeter of Earls Court with the main attraction being  The Cloud Computing mini theatre.  On the day people got to see the latest advances in Wi-Fi software technology such as  Wi-Fi archival software (a latest development in software stnad)  stand hat can been seen in the picture above.

A new software compnay called Juniper came out with their newest product which revolutionised the way we use networks.  The new hardware had the capability of improving on other methods used when deploying sofware on much older networks.  A photo of this company is pictured below.
