Livedrive Cloud Storage Invents Way to Store Data on Paper

Livedrive has announced its use of innovate, unique, patent-pending technology that backs up customer’s digital data by printing it onto A2 paper.

Like most online storage providers, Livedrive stores data in multiple data centres on multiple servers across the globe. The company has today announced it’s new third tier level of protection which involves actually printing customer data onto paper and storing it in a secure facility in a secret location in the UK.

Andrew Michael, Livedrive’s CEO said today: “This extra level of protection ensures customer data is safe even in the event of an electromagnetic pulse event triggered by a nuclear attack. We can store petabytes of data, with no degradation over time and no requirement for expensive power charges – while also keeping it safe from extreme events that other forms of backup would not survive.”

The technology, pioneered over many years by Livedrive involves the use of new “QT”style barcodes to store customer data in an encrypted form which is then printed onto physical sheets of paper and stored in a secure facility. Data can then be restored by scanning the barcodes to restore customer’s data in the event of a failure.

Dr Mike Wittner commented: “Customer data is first encrypted and then split into many different barcodes. So, for example, a photo could be split into thousands of barcodes, stored across many different sheets of paper within our library. This distributed, encrypted approach means the data is more secure than ever.”

Livedrive are also taking steps to protect the environmental impact of the new storage methodology, as Andrew explains, “We are extremely conscious of our impact on the environment – and concern for the rainforests was top of our list when we were researching the new technology. We have over 4 billion sheets of paper in our datacentre already, but all of our paper – every single piece – comes from renewable forest. None of it comes from rainforests, deciduous forest or any other form of protected source. And for every tree we use, we plant two more.”

Ethernet and Real Rime Ethernet 2005 – 2012 Studies

A summary of three Quest studies tracks how ProfiNet, EtherCat, Ethernet IP, Powerlink, Modbus-TCP, Sercos III, VARAN and TCP/IP have been developing in the German machinery industry from 2005 to 2010 und will develop to 2012.

The three Quest studies carried out in the years 2005, 2008 and 2010 cover the trends from users’ view i.e. from the view of potential-strong machine-builders in the 10 automation-relevant sectors of the German machinery industry with 100 and more employees.

In the year 2005 50% of the investigated machine-builders had already implemented Ethernet at the machines. In 2008 67% of the machine-builders used it, then 80% in 2010 and 89% of the machine-builder will use it 2012. So the dynamic growth will obviously weaken on high level until 2012.

The partitioning of the use of Ethernet on TCP/IP and real time protocols by the machine-builders forms the shape of scissors. Since the year 2008 the scissors have been opening in favour of real time Ethernet. The portions of real time Ethernet of the total Ethernet have been dynamically growing from 35% in 2008, to 52% in 2010 and will achieve 67% in 2012 while the portions of TCP/IP have been sinking from 32% in 2008 to 28% in 2010 and will be 22% in the year 2012. That concerns the exclusive use of TCP/IP at the machines.

Real time Ethernet constitutes the motor of the dynamic development of Ethernet at the machines according to the decisions of the machine-builders.

Against this background the individual real time Ethernet protocols are showing differentiated developments from 2005 to 2012.

ProfiNet with its three versions is growing faster than the market for real time Ethernet. From 2005 to 2010 ProfiNet has duplicated its portion among the machine-builders using real time Ethernet from 15% to 38% and will achieve a portion of 42% in 2012.

EtherCat is growing as fast as the market for real time Ethernet thus stable in use by one quarter of the machine-builders with real time Ethernet.

Ethernet IP and Powerlink are showing sinking utilizations growing more slowly than the market for real time Ethernet. Both protocols cover approximately one fifth of the use of real time Ethernet with the machine-builders in 2010 and are to keep this range in 2012.

In-house solutions, Modbus-TCP, Sercos III and VARAN are growing times faster, times more slowly than the market. These protocols hold steady for special applications with a market share of up to 5% each used by approximately one sixth of the machine-builders with real time Ethernet. Sporadic single denominations by machine-builders related to other protocols are not considered thereby.

This development of Ethernet and real time Ethernet is based on the three Quest studies „Ethernet 2005 – 2008 in the automation technology of the machinery industry“ (82 pages), „Ethernet 2008 – 2011 in the automation technology of the machinery industry, the automobile industry and the food and beverage industry“ (111 pages) and „Ethernet and Safety Ethernet 2010 – 2012, trends and innovations from the view of the machinery industry“ (82 pages). The studies are briefly presented on www.qtm.de/e/index_marketstudies_free.html

Alert Logic Announces Support for IPv6 in Security-as-a-Service Offering

Alert Logic, the leading provider of log management, intrusion detection and cloud security solutions for enterprises and services providers, today announced limited availability of IPv6 networking support in their Threat Manager product and ActiveWatch managed service. With this support, Alert Logic’s customers and partners can now confidently migrate to IPv6 networks knowing security is being monitored with the right combination of Software-as-a-Service products and monitoring expertise.

With the depletion of unallocated IPv4 address space, organizations are being forced to migrate their networks to IPv6. While IPv6 networks provide orders of magnitude more address space, this protocol brings a host of new security challenges. Primarily, organizations are questioning whether existing security solutions can effectively protect their networks against IPv6-based attacks. Additionally, security professionals are not yet equipped to react to these new types of threats in their environments.
Alert Logic Threat Manager monitors both native IPv6 networks and IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling to detect suspicious activities and attacks. Combined with the expert monitoring offered through the ActiveWatch service, Alert Logic not only detects IPv6-based attacks, but also provides expert guidance in remediation.
“Availability of IP address space has been deemed a business continuity issue by our service provider partners,” said Urvish Vashi, vice president of marketing at Alert Logic. “By leaving the security monitoring to Alert Logic during this complex transition, they can focus on expanding their portfolio to include new products and services.”
About Alert Logic
Alert Logic simplifies IT security and compliance management by delivering Software-as-a-Service products, Log Manager™ and Threat Manager™, integrated with 24×7 Security Operations Center monitoring services, ActiveWatch and LogReview, for intrusion detection, vulnerability assessment and log management.
