How Facebook Saved Us from Suburbia

Research suggests social networks remedy the isolation of modern life.

In 2009, the Pew Internet Trust published a survey worth resurfacing for what it says about the significance of Facebook. The study was inspired by earlier research that "argued that since 1985 Americans have become more socially isolated, the size of their discussion networks has declined, and the diversity of those people with whom they discuss important matters has decreased."

How Will Tariffs on Solar Panels Affect Innovation?

A U.S. Commerce Department anti-dumping decision could help some U.S. companies and hurt others.

The United States Commerce Department concluded today that Chinese solar panel manufacturers are dumping solar panels in the U.S., and is penalizing them by imposing a 30 percent tariff on 62 solar manufacturers in China and a general 250 percent tariff on other solar panel manufacturers in China. That’s on top of a small tariff of 2.9 to 4.73 percent it announced earlier this year.

LabTech Unveils Multi-Vendor Backup Dashboard

Remote monitoring and management (RMM) provider LabTech Software has unveiled a multi-vendor backup  dashboard to help make it easier for managed service providers to manage customer environments when they include technologies from multiple vendors. The new dashboard puts it all on a single pane of glass for centralized management for data protection environments.

LabTech has accomplished this by integrating with a handful of backup vendors including StorageCraft, CA, Acronis, AppAssure and Doyenz, the company told me.  But it promised that all vendors would be supported and added in as relationships are established.

Here’s a list, straight from LabTech, of the benefits of the dashboard:

  • Manage a multi-vendor data protection environment, and gain visibility into the entire image backup process from a single dashboard
  • Monitor backup job status in real time, enabling immediate response to failure alerts in order to minimize the risk of data loss
  • Perform on-demand actions such as disable, enable, create, edit, delete, start or cancel backup jobs
  •  Deploy backup agents remotely to systems without having to visit each machine individually
  • Globally select and manage different vendor backups as part of a single operation using a multi-vendor intelligent parser

LabTech CEO Matt Nachtrab points out that being successful as an  MSP requires ever greater levels of integration, automation and service capability, and that’s why the company rolled out this dashboard.

LabTech 2012 debuted in April with new support for mobile device management and a faster out-of-the-box deployment experience that LabTech calls Ignite.
