The Tricky World of Media Cataloging

Experts left and right have been currently talking about the buzz word, which is metadata cataloguing. However, one lament of these experts is that metadata cataloguing is not as generally known in the wider public circles as it should be, unlike in circles that are composed of people in the know. Simply put, metadata is all about information that pops up in different programs such as Microsoft Powerpoint, Word and Excel.

It is the information that exists about the given information your electronic documents already have – and most probably contain a lot of. These metadata are usually some descriptions about the attributes of a document like its title, author, location, date it was created and its content. When you catalogue using metadata, these types of information or attributes are indeed very helpful. However, metadata can also be used to share some confidential and some potentially embarrassing information with an audience you might not wish to pay heed to.

As it is, you would probably not want a prospective customer of yours to find out the historical context of the data regarding an original author from a file you have sent to them. It is like a tracking of the number of revisions, who did who and what during what period of time. So in order to keep your metadata cataloguing safe and sound, you may choose to transfer these into pdf formations using a pdf creator before you complete it and send the whole thing to the person who was requesting for it.

Most Popular Cloud Computing Certification Revealed

Using course participant statistics and visitor search trends, The Art of Service has identified the most popular certificate for cloud computing. Explore the benefits of the Cloud Computing Foundation certification, its value and more.

Brisbane, Australia, August 2 2010 –Technical certifications, the ticket to higher pay and more prestige, also keep IT Professionals employed. The trick is to get the one that will really help keep or land that job.

Cloud Computing Certification is one of the hottest tech certifications in today’s job market. According to Foote Partners’ survey of more than 22,000 IT professionals, covering some 170 certifications, the most valuable certificates today settle mainly into two camps: architecture and security. Cloud Computing certification falls into the architecture category.

However, even with the numerous certification options available, website search trends on theartofservice.com reveal the most popular cloud computing certification choice among IT professionals—Cloud Computing foundation certification. New information now available explains reasons for this phenomenon and offers in depth information on the course featuring rich benefits.

Cloud computing foundation may be a surprising choice, especially with the array of certification options now available for IT Professionals. Ivanka Menken from The Art of Service says “Certifications play an important role in a tough hiring environment. When faced with two comparable candidates, a hiring manager can be swayed by a certification. The person who gets the job usually has the certification.”

The Art of Service gives three insights into why this may be the case:

  • Having a stellar reputation never hurts, and The Art of Service is well known for the quality of its IT Certification programs, which tests candidates’ insights. Cloud Computing Certification is a truly challenging certification; it carries a lot more respect than others in the market.
  • But the title wouldn’t go anywhere unless its skills were seen as marketable. And high-level Cloud Computing management skills may be more marketable than some might think. These days demand for a great Service/Architecture/Cloud Computing person outstrips the demand for general Microsoft administration skills. It’s highly recommended to look at Cloud Computing Certification with keen interest.
  • This Study Guide and Online Course access provides complete, in-depth coverage of all exam objectives for the Cloud Computing Foundation exam in a systematic approach, so you can be confident you’re getting the instruction you need.

For more information on the Cloud Computing Foundation Certification including its contents and exam, visit theartofservice.com.

Established in 1999, The Art of Service’s purpose is to educate IT Professionals and certify them towards in-demand skill sets to clients like UPS, Nike, McDonald’s, Walt Disney, Intel, Apple, FMC Technologies, Procter & Gamble, Schlumberger, Microsoft, IBM and Cisco Systems.

Network Management Services: Single, Integrated and Centralized Network Management

IT industry is a continuous process of enhancing network systems, improving
communications and advancing the operating procedures of businesses. With the help of
these advanced applications and software, networking systems can be enhanced.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is one of the network management
requirements that was developed by Internet Engineering Task Force or IETF. This is a
subsidiary group of Internet Activities Board or IAB.

This is created to have a standard management in all LAN- based internet products like
routers, wiring the concentrators and bridge. This technology is created to decrease the
problems of network management and reduce the needed resources to be able to sustain
it. The Simple Network Management Protocol can give a tough, centralized networking
management for the company and provide a flexible system.

The Simple Network Management Protocol identifies how the management data is being
exchanged among management agents and other network management applications. This
system has numerous versions. The SNMPv1 [SNMPv1 Specs] and SNMPv2 [SNMPv2
Specs] are just some of the most popular versions of Simple Network Protocol. The
SNMP v1 network management architecture consists of workstation that facilitates the
application in network management.

This version has polls management agents that control data to agents. It also has a
Management information Base or MIB that identifies the data that can be gathered and
handled by the management systems. Aside from that, the SNMPv1 contains
management agents that gives information provided by the MIB passed to the
management applications and can control information.

The burden of collating the various information and data that comes streaming in from the many computers owned and used by the Business is an ardous task.
In the event of a Network Management setup, this is eventually made easier as the data is now managed under a centralized computer and a skilled IT team of experts.
In this way, the need for a company that offers virtually Network Management Services (NMServices) arises, and more and more Businesses are going for these companies to outsource their Network Management needs.
In some cases, it may be said that this is a more inexpensive way to do business because most of these companies that offer Network Management Services are interconnected with each other in terms of partnerships and agreements that can only result to leveraged telecommunications pricing.
For example, a company is in partnership with a local Telecommunications Provider and this partnership may result to lower rates in terms of data delivery and better efficiencies than an average NMServices with no partnership, which when combined can set lower risks for the Business itself.
There are also times when different Businesses engage in mergers and acquisitions with other Businesses.
These Businesses that were merged may already have their own separate Networks put into place.
For example, Mr. Sanders, owner of factories engaged in cigarette-making, buys up factories of garments.
Maintaining many different Networks will only overburden his central and main IT team.
And will surely result to disparate Networks inside his Corporation that are all complex and labor-intensive.
Now having a contract for NMServices with a company offering one, the Business may relegate the Network Management to them, eliminating the disparate Networks and forming a single, integrated and centralized Network Management infrastructure under expert and reliable hands.
