welcome to Enterprise Briefing
October 2008
Welcome to the October edition of Enterprise Briefing.
This month we look at how technology vendors are coming up with ever-more outlandish ideas for data center power and cooling, such as installing a server farm on a barge. Our analyst column puts the spotlight on the phenomenon of virtual worlds and asks whether they can serve a useful purpose in enterprise collaboration. And finally, we offer advice on building a business case for a global mobile data strategy.
We hope you enjoy reading Enterprise Briefing.

Enterprise Briefing takes a look at some of the new ideas and asks whether they are likely to adopted by the mainstream.
are virtual worlds ready for enterprise collaboration?
Virtual world environments are a form of social networking that have had a considerable impact on the gaming and entertainment software industry, but to date, avatar-based online interaction isn't used extensively in business communications and collaboration solutions.
building the business case for a global mobile data strategy
Mobility has become a way of life for many employees, with ubiquitous connectivity offering them access to the corporate network from any location. But unfettered access to broadband has left many companies with a growing 'black budget' of expensed WiFi and mobile broadband roaming.
