Curing data congestion
Facing an increase of 20-40% in stored data every 12-18 months, North Coast Area Health Service quickly found itself with a data center that was "quite inefficient and certainly not cost-effective," said server manager David Goulding. To address the growing problem, a Dell technical team installed an EMC CLARiiON CX500 SAN, which provided centralization and consolidation, and the health service is now looking to add Dell blade servers for cost and space savings.

Where Google Chrome security fails: the password
I heard mention that the Chrome OS will have some sort of encryption available a la bitlocker. If it's possible to encrypt personal data using another password or key, then it may have potential for very secure data.... And Ubuntu has an 'encrypt home directory' option, perhaps google should follow suit.
