Future Lab: Networking in Space

Connected Social Media — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 08:18:39 +0000

In 2009 the Irish rock band U2 experienced the realities of space communication when they connected in a live 2-way video conference between Bono on the concert stage in front of stadium audiences and astronauts in the International Space Station. There’s only about a half second delay from the surface of our planet to the ISS so delays are generally minor. But such a hook-up would be impossible, as a real-time back-and-forth connection, from Mars. If you were going to set up a data network in space, distance would be one challenge – the revolutions of planets and the orbits of space craft pose further difficulties. But there is a solution in development. Internet pioneers such as Vint Cerf and Kevin Fall have been working with NASA on a Delay Tolerant Network protocol to do in space what TCP/IP has done on earth.

Intel IT Cloud Computing Taxonomy and Ecosystem Analysis

Connected Social Media Syndication — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:58:05 +0000

IT Cloud Computing: An Intel cross-organizational group developed a common cloud computing taxonomy designed to meet Intel’s comprehensive requirements by classifying the entire breadth of existing cloud technologies. Based on this classification, diagramed in Figure 1 in this IT whitepaper, we created an ecosystem analysis that helps identify suppliers that meet Intel’s needs.

To develop a single taxonomy for use across Intel, we based our work on several externally developed taxonomies as well as Intel IT capability frameworks that describe our primary applications and infrastructure services.

The taxonomy provides a common terminology and baseline information that can be applied to help develop cloud strategies both for Intel’s IT environment and for Intel’s products and services.

Intel IT is using the taxonomy and analysis to facilitate internal discussions and identify innovative IT cloud computing solutions that deliver efficiencies.”

IT Information Security: Evaluating Intel Anti-Theft Technology

Connected Social Media Syndication — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 17:00:44 +0000

IT Information Security: Intel IT recently completed a technology evaluation of Intel Anti-Theft Technology (Intel AT), available on laptop PCs with 2010 Intel Core vPro processors.

Intel AT is a hardware-based technology that can help detect theft and disable a laptop if it is lost or stolen, as shown in Figure 1 in the PDF. This protects valuable enterprise data and intellectual property as well as the hardware itself. Additionally, Intel AT adds value to full-disk encryption by protecting data even if the encryption keys are compromised. We worked with our encryption supplier during the development of Intel AT to help define the features required for enterprise use.

In our evaluation, we worked with the Intel AT product group and our encryption supplier to test features over our wireless LAN (WLAN), LAN, and virtual private network (VPN), based on a possible enterprise use case in which a Service Desk technician disables a stolen laptop.

The results of our evaluation indicate that Intel AT will improve our ability to protect company-owned laptops as well as data and intellectual property. We plan to test the same features over a mobile 3G network in the near future.

Future Lab: Energy Research

Connected Social Media — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 07:24:06 +0000

Zero energy buildings, known as ZEB and also known as zero net energy buildings, promise to have a huge impact on energy consumption globally, especially since office and commercial buildings use nearly 40% of fossil based energy in the U.S. and Europe. Milan Milenkovic, who heads up the zero net energy project for Intel Labs, is a visionary. His vision is positive net energy buildings. In his imagination he sees your computer going to sleep when you walk away from your desk. It senses you and knows the difference between you and other people. It illustrates how energy systems will soon operate beyond today’s concept of supply and demand. For example, your electric car’s energy needs will exist in conjunction with the other electric cars in your neighborhood, asserts Intel Labs’ researcher Annabelle Pratt, who has been studying intelligent cars and the energy grid. “If real‑time [energy] pricing becomes dynamic,” she says, “and we get rate structures set in place where we could have localized pricing to address localized conditions, you could locally change the electricity cost profile to promote charging at a different time, changing the profile on the vehicles.”

IT Best Practices: IT Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery with Mobile Business PCs

Connected Social Media Syndication — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 09:07:16 +0000

IT Best Practices: Intel IT has found that mobile business PCs have been crucial to enabling business continuity during a variety of disaster situations. We have standardized on a mobile business PC solution for Intel’s highly mobile workforce because they enable employees to work productively, with full computing capabilities, from any location. To further support remote collaboration, we also use tools such as as Voice over IP (VoIP)-based videoconferencing and unified messaging.
We have found that these technologies also enable employees to continue working effectively during disasters that impact individual locations or entire regions. Overall, we estimate that about 7,500 of Intel’s 80,000 employees have experienced disruptive events in which their mobile business PCs played an essential role in enabling them to continue working productively. Intel has also provided laptops for humanitarian relief efforts following natural disasters that destroyed infrastructure, such as the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Mobile PCs and wireless communications provided immediately available technology infrastructure that assisted relief workers and victims.

To learn more about this IT Best Practices case study, check out the details in our Intel IT whitepaper PDF.

In Intel, about 80% of our PCs are laptops. How much mobile PCs do you have in your organization?

Enterprise Mobility: The Seamless Experience

Connected Social Media — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 22:24:35 +0000

IT Business Agility: Selim Aissi and Jim Baca know enterprise mobility, not just because they research it for Intel IT — they live it, working closely with each other with a half a continent of space between them. Baca, a Principal Engineer, says the most surprising thing he’s learned about enterprise mobility is how much the complexity of small devices is taken for granted. “It’s surprising just how complex those architectures are, because now you’re combining many items, like a telephony stack. You have everything jammed into one little device.” That functionality is helping, behind the scenes, to drive IT business agility. Aissi, formerly an aerospace engineer with expertise in embedded software, says, “Today I have to unlock a phone. Dial something. Go to a browser. I think mobility in the future will be just a completely seamless experience.”

Future Lab: Moving Data at the Speed of Light

Connected Social Media — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 08:03:45 +0000

What is possible if we could greatly reduce the bottlenecks in the transfer of data? Electrons and copper wire have taken us far, but only so far. What lies beyond is light speed. Silicon photonics is the transmission of data using light, which can go much faster and farther. It unleashes many new possibilities inside and outside computer platforms. Photonics is very expensive but that appears to be changing. Dr. Mario Paniccia, Director of Intel’s Silicon Photonics Lab, says that with silicon photonics, “optical communications now connecting your laptop and your computer, your handheld, your TV – in the future all will be optically connected. All this data in the cloud, you can just simply plug a fiber into your PC, a fiber into your handheld, and you can move content and data around at enormously fast data rates.”
