HR checking candidate background on Facebook, Twitter, Google

2012-09-26T10:46:00.000+05:30

A majority of employers and recruiters are now using social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, search engines and criminal records to learn the truth about job seekers.

A survey conducted by Australia-based software firm Nuage Software showed over half of human resource managers surveyed ran a Google search on candidates, 74 per cent checked LinkedIn, 23 per cent Facebook and three per cent Twitter.

According to tech firm Nuage's managing director David Wilson, some employers are asking to view Facebook and Twitter profiles at interviews in order to avoid privacy concerns, Perth Now reports.

"The internet has a very long memory. An ill-advised or impulsive post can be rapidly replicated across many sites and be impossible to take back," the report quoted Wilson, as saying

"People really do enjoy the freedom of expression on social media, but it is worth considering the cumulative effect of their postings," he added.

According to the report, Australia's National Crime Check managing director Martin Lazarevic said the variety of employers getting police checks on applicants had grown rapidly in the past six months, and as many as one in ten checks were catching people out. (ANI)

Online Storage

2012-07-23T13:14:00.003+05:30

#1. MediaFire:

MediaFire is considered as one of the best, as if you have lot of files to distribute and they are well under 200MB each. Some of the best features of MediaFire are that the uploads are scanned using BitDefender antivirus and also it provides flash based previewer for document types along with links to social media like Facebook, Twitter. Uploading in MediaFire is so simple, as it is done with a simple drag and drop of the files, followed by redirecting the quick links of the uploaded files.

#2. RapidShare:

RapidShare is credited as the best in the name of storage. Apparently there is no limit either for file size or storage space. The biggest limitation of RapidShare is its download bandwidth and file preservation. The JavaScript and the inability of RapidShare to import contacts lists are also regarded as its restrictions. But with all these limits, when it comes to storage, RapidShare simply is the best.

#3. ShareFile:

Corporate’s most preferred online storage service- ShareFile is more of an enterprise style rather than the consumer manner. ShareFile offers no free plan except for a 30-day free trial for all account tiers. But the upper tiers are offered with desktop widgets and Outlook plugins. One of the standout features of ShareFile is that it’s written in Adobe Air, which means the app can generate a download link for each file or folder. Along with that, ShareFile also creates space for mass mailings via Excel spreadsheet.

#4. YouSendIt:

Even though the lower levels seem pretty clumsy, YouSendIt gets better and better with each level. The higher levels are for business users as it provides add-ons similar to ShareFile. Also you can set expiry time period for yourself. But the first and foremost thing is that YouSendIt requires an account and a login ID. The client interface of YouSendIt is almost similar to Dropbox, where you are required to drop the files in the folder, with the synchronization label overlapping the files. Still with its limitations, YouSendIt does well with all common file types.

#5. Box:

Box provides file management and file uploading via the drag and drop technique, but it also offers the Java based bulk uploader for a whole bunch of files and subfolders. Links to social sites and discussion threads can be created from the web page itself. Also in Box, the user can direct a link to the file instead of its upload page.

#6. Dropbox:

The first to invent the technique of drag and drop, Dropbox has its app version for the system, so that user can simply drop the files to be uploaded and the synchronization happens silently in the background. Dropbox also offers space for sharing, but it can be only done with user’s Facebook friends. Another noticeable feature is that Dropbox allows files to be linked to directly, without a click-though download or preview page, to a special ‘Public’ folder created in the user’s Dropbox account.

#7. Google Drive:

Google’s cloud storage, Google Drive works similar to Dropbox and SkyDrive. Google Drive creates a folder for every user to host his files through cloud as it offers automatic synchronization. But the sync can be done only through Drive’s web interface which supplies redirected links to Google contacts and groups. Google Drive also grants additional benefits like direct uploading of files from Google Docs and groups.

#8. Minus:

An online service that is still on the rise, Minus features this list mainly in the name of its characteristics meant for consumers instead of corporate’s. Users can sign up into Minus using their Facebook and Twitter accounts. Most of the Minus’s features are meant for non professional uses. Users can directly pin their links of uploaded files to social networking sites with a click and can follow each other along with sharing each other’s feeds. The client interface is similar to every other storage services, the usual drag and drop. Minus also offers a unique function of snap and uploading screenshots, including a snapshot of webpage.

#9. SkyDrive:

A part of Microsoft, SkyDrive provides storage services for both Windows and Mac operating systems. Users can upload individual files, where bulk uploading is not supported through browsers. The user interface is considered to be the most pitiable version among storage services, as the option of sharing files is limited to its website. But still SkyDrive provides the option of direct uploading of files and documents from Microsoft’s Office Web apps and can be distributed directly to users in Hotmail contact lists.

#10. SugarSync:

A surprise contender to feature this list, SugarSync is considered as the black horse in online storage services. SugarSync outstands with its ‘Magic Briefcase’ option; that is anything placed there is automatically synced across all devices registered to the user account. The ‘Web Archive’ is another option that stores files, but it disallows user’s to share the same file if the originals are changed. The client interface is also considered as one of the best, as it provides the overall view of files synced across all the devices in the cloud.

Top technologies for future enterprise IT

2012-07-23T11:00:00.001+05:30

10. HTML5:

The fifth edition of the Markup language; HTML, originally introduced by Opera Software, is capable of accomplishing tasks that are significantly different from its predecessors HTML4.0 and HTML4.1.

HTML5 brings with itself the features of Local Storage, canvas, video, that let you do much more than dragging images and text into one rectangle box. The new WebSockets spec brings a new way to conduct full-duplex communication that will bring a drastic shift for web developers from Flash to HTML5.

9. Client-Side Hypervisors:

Desktop Virtualization failed for two reasons: It entailed constant connection between the client and server, as well as a huge server to run the desktop Virtual Machines. Client hypervisors provide a solution to both these problems. By installing Client Hypervisor on an ordinary machine you can power the processing capabilities of the client. Laptop users can take a business Virtual Machine that contains the OS, apps, and personal configuration settings. This VM is safe and separate from everything else that may be running on that machine including accidentally downloaded malware and you get all the virtualization management advantages, such as VM snapshots, portability, and easy recovery. Client hypervisors represent a future where we can bring our own computers to work and download or sync our business Virtual Machines to start the day. As of July 2012, the Client hypervisors are still under development and once released will revolutionize the way we work.

8. Continuous Build Tools:

Continuous Integration helps developers implement quality control by applying a small amount of effort put in repeatedly. It helps in implementing quality analysis of software and to reduce the time in which the product is delivered. Some continuous tools like Jenkins, Hudson, and other "continuous integration" have been there for a long time. These tools put the code through a number of tests, warning developers about problems with code they checked in recently, so that everybody keeps moving towards the same goal.

Tools like Hudson or Jenkins are old and there have been a number of efficient proprietary continuous integration tools for some time, but the surfacing of open source solutions hearten the kind of experimentation and innovation that comes when programmers are given the chance to make their tools better. It has many advantages like early warning of conflicting or broken codes, immediate unit testing of all changes that explain the reason why continuous integration is a technology that will stay for a long time.

7. Trusted Hardware Check:

Promising security at the highest application level requires authentication at every level, including the physical construction of the computing device. The TPM (Trusted Platform Module) from the TCG (Trusted Computing Group) was among the first hardware chip that was popularly adopted to check for trusted hardware and boot sequences. In the same line, last year, Intel combined the TPM chip and a hardware hypervisor layer to guard boot sequences, memory, and other components. Any software vendor can benefit from it. Hardware trust solutions are not perfectly secure, as the Princeton memory freeze and electron microscope attacks have shown in the past exposing its slim side of TPM. The hardware protection schemes will only get better in the future. The latest advancements in this field have shown tremendous promise in the recent past and soon you can expect to see every computer device you use having a hardware/software protection solution running.

6. JavaScript Replacements:

JavaScript has been the most commonly executed code in this world until now, but for all the success it had, everyone wants to move on to the next big thing. Some users want to build an entirely new language that will fix all of the troubles they were facing with JavaScript; while others just want to translate their code into JavaScript, so that they can act as if they don't use it. Translated code is the new rage in the market. Google's Web Toolkit cross-compiles Java into JavaScript so that the developer types only correctly typed Java codes. Some translations are superficial: Programmers who write in Coffee Script don't need to worry about much of JavaScript's punctuation because the cross-compiler inserts it before it runs. Other translations, such as Google's Dart, are more ambitious, pointing to a future of ever more options. These will bring a necessary change in the software industry enabling swift development of the software.

5. Distributed Storage Tier:

Much faster than disks and many times cheaper than DRAM, NAND flash memory is a hot commodity that will heat up further with time when storage management software will catch up with its potential in the data center. Its unique combination of high speed and low cost makes it excellent for the server-side cache and a natural choice for tier-one SAN storage. With flash becoming cheaper day by day and the capacities of SSDs on the rise, the days of disk drives in servers and SANs seem to be reaching an end very soon. The best part is that the Flash storage will enable server-side storage to be administered as an extension of the SAN, storing only the most frequently accessed or I/O-intensive data closer to the application. It resembles caching, but smarter and more cost-effective and this is the primary reason that it can be touted as one big game changer in the Enterprise IT sector.

4. Apache Hadoop:

An open source software framework, it supports data intensive data applications under the Apache v2 license. It enables its users to work with number of computational independent computers; it also lets its users to read through several terabytes of unstructured data. Tools such as Apache Hive and Apache Pig allow the users to explore Apache Hadoop in a much easier way. It has been one of the top level Apache project and has contributions from all across the globe. Yahoo! has been the major contributor in the project and uses this platform extensively across almost its entire platform. Some of the other users of Hadoop have been Amazon, American airlines, HP, IBM, Intuit, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Twitter, eBay, Foursquare and many more. The best part about Hadoop is its wide acceptability and the way this platform has so much to offer. Its importance in the long haul can be estimated from the fact that we have just started discovering Apache Hadoop and it has lots more in store.

3. Advanced Synchronization:

There has been one major flaw in the computing model that we have been using for years: The limitation of accessing the data on a single platform. Apple and Microsoft understood that single user environments will only limit their users and thus Apple initiated the concept of cloud computing from its operating system iOS. Microsoft taking a step further has integrated the feature of putting Applications on cloud so that the users can sync their devices irrespective of their location and the environment in which they are working. This advancement is sure to bring a new development in the way we use computers today and will give apps a whole new utility. This will give rise to a more user centric model of computing and will be free from contexts such as location, available input methods, connectivity etc and will profoundly change the way how IT has been approaching applications off late.

2. Software-Defined Networks:

The Data center networks have grown drastically in the recent past. The servers and storage have benefited themselves from software abstraction, the networks still continue to be hardware-bound and static, and this has been the major hurdle in implementing cloud computing. This brings the role of SDN (software-defined networking) into act, which covers one software layer over switch and router hardware to serve as both a centrally managed control plane and a platform for innovation. SDN is not a network virtualization rather it is a way to program the networks that is; it allows the cloud source and ISVs to build new networking abilities on which the rest of the users can draw on. The leading example of SDN today is OpenFlow which is the idea of university researchers who wanted to experiment with new network protocols on large production networks. These software defined networks can bring a drastic change and have the capability to become an integral part of enterprises over a long period of time.

1. Private Clouds:

A private cloud is a term used to refer to clouds that organizations implement borrowing technologies from public cloud providers to implement their own data centers. These private clouds can redefine the way organizations store the data. This will not only improve the way data is stored these days but will also enable the workers of the organization to access the organizational data on the move irrespective of the contexts of location, connectivity. This will empower the organization manifolds in dealing with storage problems. Several Private cloud orchestration have gained popularity in the recent past, one among them is the open source software OpenStack that has received wide acceptance among users in a short span of time. Eucalyptus is another option that gives the facility of private cloud orchestration. Private clouds will surely transform the conventional form of storing data that forced its users to be limited with respect to its location.

Upcoming open source technologies

2012-07-11T11:24:00.001+05:30

Apache CouchDB:

‘An open source database that completely embraces the web’, that’s Apache Couch DB or simply Couch DB. Couch DB is a NoSQL database and it uses JSON documents to store data. Created in 2005 under former IBM Lotus notes developer Damien Katz, Couch DB was initially used as storage system for large scale databases until it became an Apache project in 2008. Still number of companies like the BBC and Credit Suisse uses Couch DB’s dynamic content platforms to store configuration details for its marketing data framework. CouchDB is available under the Apache License 2.0.

8. MongoDB:

Another NoSQL database technology to make this list is MongoDB. Developed by the founders of DoubleClick, MongoDB formulates implementation of data in certain applications faster, as it stores data in the form of JSON like documents that are coalesced with dynamic schemas. In 2007 10gen began offering MongoDB commercial licenses. As for today a whole lot of enterprises like MTV Networks, Craigslist, Disney Interactive Media Group, The New York Times and Etsy utilize its technology. MongoDB is available under GNU General Public License, with language drivers available under Apache License.

Apache Cassandra:

An open source distributed database management system, Apache Cassandra is another NoSQL data store developed by Facebook. Facebook created Apache Cassandra to power up their Inbox Search feature, only later to be dropped in 2010 as they pursued HBase. But Apache Cassandra is still preferred by other companies like Netflix as a back-end database. Apache Cassandra is also available in Apache License 2.0.

6. Apache HBase:

Another open source big data technology to make this list is Apache HBase. Apache HBase is one among a handful of open source technology that supports NoSQL data stores. Apache HBase runs on Hadoop Distributed Filesystem (HDFS), as it is designed as a non-relational columnar distributed database. In 2010 Facebook acquired HBase as it provides fault-tolerant storage and access to large quantities of spare data. Now Apache HBase is available under Apache License 2.0.

5. ElasticSearch:

ElasticSearch is a free open source search server that is being developed in Java. It is also a distributed, RESTful search server which is developed under Apache Lucene. Created by Shay Banon, ElasticSearch came to reality when Banon was to release the third version of Compass, an open source Java Search Engine Framework. Banon created ElasticSearch as a much awaited answer to his ‘scalable search solution’. Now ElasticSearch is available as an open source technology under Apache License 2.0. Implemented by a number of firms like StumbleUpon and Mozilla, ElasticSearch now provides support for real-time search and multitenancy without a special configuration.

4. Scribe:

Developed by Facebook in 2008, Scribe is a server used to combine and send log data, generated by other large servers that are associated with Facebook. Scribe was initially designed to minimize the server big data challenges in Facebook, but as for now the company boasts that it handles over tens of billions of messages a day. At present, Scribe is an open source technology and it’s available under the Apache License 2.0.

3. Cascading:

Available under the GNU General Public License, Cascading is an open source software abstraction layer for Hadoop. It allows users to create and execute data processing workflows on Hadoop clusters using any JVM-based language. Designed by Chris Wensel as an alternative against the complexity of MapReduce jobs, Cascading provides support to a number of sectors in ad targeting, log file analysis, bioinformatics, machine learning, predictive analytics, Web content mining and ETL applications. Wensel also developed a firm called Concurrent to provide commercialization support for Cascading.

2.R:

Popularized under Revolution Analytics, R combines open source programming language along with software environment only to provide solutions for statistical computing and visualization. In 1993 Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman formulized R at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. As for now, R is considered as one of the best in statistical analysis, as recently reports have emerged that R is now tracking services and supports from models stimulated by Red Hat’s support for Linux.

1.Apache Hadoop:

Created by Doug Cutting, Apache Hadoop is considered as one of the best in storing the structured, semi-structured and unstructured data. Constructed to be an open source software framework for data-intensive distributed applications, the Apache Hadoop uses a series of nodes to store the data. Named after his son’s toy elephant, Cutting structured a MapReduce facility with a distributed file system to meet the multi processing requirements of his firm, Nutch. This technology later to be known as Apache Hadoop became so popular that it’s considered as one of the best in open source technology.
