Microsoft Announce Data Protection
Manager 2006 Beta 04/12/2005 01:47 PM
In an email sent to existing product testers today, Microsoft announced the upcoming beta of System Center Data Protection Manager 2006.

Data Protection Manager, or DPM, is a software tool aimed at all Windows users to aid the backup and recovery process. Microsoft have long been keen on simplifying this feature in Windows, introducing the system restore functionality with Windows XP.

The software features speedy recovery via disk-based backup systems, allowing "recovering in minutes instead of hours"; continuous protection without impact IT services; integration with tape drives via the Volume Shadow Copy Service API in Windows Server 2003. The company also hopes the software will offer good value for money by letting IT professionals work on other tasks; as many a Windows user / systems administrator will note, the process of backup and recovery is a costly and time intensive one.

Microsoft claim that <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/dps/partners/d efault.mspx">30 partners</a> in the storage industry have announced their support for the new software, and will be working on creating solutions for Windows clients. Microsoft will make an official announcement on the launch tomorrow.

Microsoft, Fiat Announce In-Car
Computers Partnership 07/16/2004 08:46 AM

Microsoft has been eyeing the automotive market for nigh-on a decade at this point and finally their investments may start to pay off in products that might actually be useful. Fiat, for instance, has just announced a long-term strategic partnership, which in and of itself isn't that spectacular, but some of their ideas, if they come to fruition, sound pretty great: Bluetooth sync of contacts and address book information; easy USB hookups for accessing MP3 players; integrated cellular service (this is pretty common these days, but a broader standard would be nice). It's the sort of design philosophy that I can really get behind; I don't want my car to be able to do everything. I just want it to be able to talk to all my other gadgets. (Thanks, Nicolai!)

Q&A: Microsoft Introduces Microsoft Data
Protection Server 09/20/2004 03:12 PM
For most companies, data backup and recovery is a significantly more pressing issue now than it was just a few years ago. A challenging economic climate, new regulatory mandates, and a greater concern about risks from major disasters, among other factors, are fueling this concern. Fortunately, rapidly declining disk prices are allowing enterprises to augment their data-protection strategies using disk-based backup and recovery technologies, which enable a faster, more manageable and more reliable solution than traditional tape-backup technology. But most of the current disk-based solutions on the market are still cost-prohibitive for many companies, especially small and medium-sized businesses.

Continuing efforts by the content industry to make sure people can do less with content than they could before, Microsoft is releasing new copy protection technology today. It still amazes me that an entire industry could be so focused on preventing people from doing what they want. In other news - just not reported yet - it's likely that plenty of people have already figured out how to break Microsoft's new copy protection scheme.

protection 02/01/2005 09:57 PM
Microsoft and copy-protection company Macrovision have struck a deal that will add a new layer of anticopying defenses to video content being swapped between home devices. The two companies said that Microsoft had licensed Macrovision's technology, which aims to stop people from making copies using analog connections between devices, such as those that typically link a set-top box to a television. The deal could make it harder for consumers to make permanent copies of TV shows and movies without permission, if they use computers running the Windows operating system. It should also help convince movie studios and other content producers to release their products in new ways online, the companies said. "We think that long term, the studios will offer more interesting products over the Internet using this technology," said Brad Brunell, Microsoft's general manager of intellectual-property licensing.
