Colonial files ‘burned to keep secrets’
The document discusses how colonial governments burned paper files and documents before handing over power to new independent governments to keep secrets and avoid embarrassment. Sensitive documents from places like Northern Rhodesia, Kenya, Belize, and British Guiana were burned in bonfires. Other documents were shipped back to Britain or given codes to restrict access. Now, companies have an alternative to burning paper files by storing documents electronically which allows better security and control over sensitive data.
Rail broadband faces tough questions
Proposals to introduce new high speed broadband services onto Britain's rail network this week may sound like great news for companies who can benefit from the remote working possibilities this would bring – but the likelihood of this being established effectively has been questioned.

Higher education: harness the power of cloud
In order to retain and recruit
students, higher education
institutions must position themselves
as experts in the learning network
and find more cost-effective ways
to implement IT services. It is time
to take the financial and structural
pressure off of college IT staff by
steering away from the burdensome
cost of maintenance and upgrades,
long lead times for infrastructure
improvements and incompatibilities
between systems and tools.
Moving a system to the cloud can
reduce the cost of ownership by
20 percent. Federal agencies have
already reduced their operating costs
by 30 percent.5 Colleges can expect
to see similar results. The cloud also
allows institutions to pay for what
they use versus building capacities
that are largely unexploited.
Section 4.2 finance, hr and payroll services in the cloud
The document summarizes two projects that moved finance systems to the cloud - a multi-college project called FE Sussex involving 8 colleges, and a single college project at Isle of Wight College.
For the FE Sussex project, change management was identified as the biggest challenge to ensure the 7,000 users across colleges adopted common business processes. This project is expected to save £75,000 annually by reducing in-college servers.
The Isle of Wight College project encountered technical issues during testing but has since seen staff find the new cloud-based system easier to use. It is projected to save £18,000 annually along with staff time savings.
Both projects aim to improve services and achieve cost savings through moving
MIGRATING IN-HOUSE DATA CENTER TO PRIVATE CLOUD: A CASE STUDY
This case study summarizes the migration of the University of Hail's in-house data center to a private cloud solution using VCE's Vblock system. The traditional data center was facing challenges of an aging infrastructure with high maintenance costs and inability to scale rapidly enough to meet growing demands. The private cloud solution reduced costs, footprint, and complexity while improving performance, availability, efficiency and time to provision new resources. Key metrics like server count were reduced by 63% while maintaining high service levels for 40,000 users.

Uk banks targeted in cyber attacks
The Bank of England reported that UK banks continue to face significant risks from cyber attacks, which have cost over £20 billion to address since 2011. Several UK banks and financial market infrastructures experienced cyber attacks in the past six months that disrupted services, though losses were small. However, if vulnerabilities were exploited more significantly, the costs to the financial system could be large. A program is underway to better assess risks and strengthen defenses against such attacks.
Glasgow tragedy shows need for disaster recovery
The Glasgow helicopter crash that killed 10 people highlights the importance of disaster recovery planning. While the crash site was sealed off for the investigation, digitizing documents allows staff to work remotely when physical access is restricted. Remote work also provides benefits like flexibility even without a disaster. Other incidents like fires have also blocked access to city center businesses, showing why data storage and remote access are crucial for continuity of operations.
Burglary figures may highlight byod data risk
Burglaries increase in December when nights are darker, presenting security risks for devices used for BYOD. An insurance survey found a 25% year-over-year rise in UK burglaries in December 2012, with the highest rates in Bradford, London, and other cities. Remote data storage and encryption can help protect company information if BYOD devices are lost or stolen.
Uk risks falling behind others in cloud adoption due to data security concerns
The UK risks falling behind other countries in cloud computing adoption due to data security concerns. Almost a quarter of UK businesses failed to implement cloud systems in the last two years, compared to a global average of 14%. While 36% of UK firms have adopted cloud technology, 30% say they will never move major data to the cloud. Many UK decision makers have concerns over data protection and regulations, which 31% say significantly impacts cloud adoption, while 29% say it slows adoption. Financial, petrochemical and healthcare industries are most affected by these issues. Despite concerns, cloud adoption has increased 31% in the US, Canada and Singapore, 25% in Japan, and 18% in Hong Kong and Nordic countries. Firms

Improve your security, minister tells major firms
A survey by the UK Department for Business found that FTSE 350 firms are falling short on cyber security, with only 14% considering cyber threats regularly and many not receiving intelligence updates. The science minister said large companies need to do more to protect their data. A new cyber security standard will be introduced in early 2023 along with one-on-one assistance from auditing firms to help companies strengthen protections based on their survey responses. Research also found that small and medium businesses often prioritize tasks like ordering business cards over improving data security.
Paperless self assessment ‘a step closer’
The UK government aims to make the self-assessment tax process paperless by allowing HM Revenue and Customs to communicate electronically rather than by post. This proposed change seeks to modernize the tax system for the 21st century and allow taxpayers to complete their self-assessment entirely online. Moving to paperless self-assessment could help both the government and self-employed individuals reduce their use of paper. While taxpayers must retain original documents, these do not need to be physical copies but can be stored electronically. The overall goal is to minimize paperwork throughout government departments.
Bitcoin data loss set to cost over £4 million
A man discarded a hard drive in 2013 that contained 7,500 bitcoins which are now worth over £4 million. The man, James Howells, "mined" the bitcoins in 2009 when they were worthless but failed to back up the drive. He has been unable to retrieve the drive from the landfill where it was thrown out. The story demonstrates the importance of backing up important data to avoid losing potentially valuable information if hardware is damaged or lost.
Tesco data centre consolidation ‘nearing completion’
Tesco is nearing completion of consolidating its 35 global data centers into a single UK-based center to more efficiently manage data from its expanding international operations. The consolidation is part of Tesco's effort to simplify and centralize its management of increasingly large and complex volumes of global data. Research from Gartner predicts that over the next five years, many companies will similarly need to modernize their data center strategies and infrastructure to adapt to growing data needs driven by new technologies and mobile use.
Data security breach may embarrass fa
Three men, including a Football League referee and FA referee development manager, are accused of hacking into a fellow referee's email account and stealing confidential data. If failings in the FA's data security are found, it could embarrass the organization. Proper data encryption and security practices are important for organizations to protect themselves from data breaches and resulting fines, as was shown by a £80,000 fine against a council for losing a memory stick with unencrypted sensitive information.
Companies warned over new nsa malware allegations
The document discusses allegations that the NSA infected over 50,000 networks with malware between 2008 and 2013 in order to steal information. A Dutch newspaper reported that the NSA malware was able to lie dormant on systems before activating to access data, unlike normal malware. Computer security experts warn that companies need to be wary of state-sponsored cyber attacks and should apply the highest security standards to protect their data, regardless of whether they think they are a target. Storing data in secure data centers with the latest security technology is suggested as one way for companies to better protect their information.
Banks ‘falling s short on data protection’
UK banks have seen their reputations taking a battering in recent years over the credit crunch, bailouts and the personal protection insurance scandal, but matters could get even worse after a study indicated they are falling short on data security.

Data centres getting greener, say experts
Experts at a data center conference discussed how large companies like Facebook and eBay are improving energy efficiency. Facebook increased efficiency by 38% and lowered costs by 24% at one data center by optimizing server hardware and using more efficient cooling and power systems. eBay reduced its energy use per user transaction by adopting technologies like fuel cells and liquid cooling. While large companies have advantages, smaller data centers may find their own customized solutions to become greener. As data needs grow, improving efficiency will be important for reducing environmental impact.
Data protection may be sidelined as eu and us talk trade
The EU and US are negotiating a trade deal called the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, but data protection laws may not be addressed due to recent revelations that the US spies on EU leaders like Angela Merkel. While this has caused diplomatic issues, the trade deal is seen as too important to risk failing over these spying concerns. As a result, data protection laws may be sidelined during negotiations in favor of other trade matters. However, companies should still take steps to protect their own data security such as using remote data storage in the cloud.
Microsoft warns of potential attacks
Microsoft warned that a vulnerability in the graphics component used in Windows, Office, and Lync could allow hackers to access private information. An attacker could potentially execute remote code or access files by convincing a user to open a specially crafted email, file, or website. Microsoft is working to address the issue through security updates. The incident highlights the importance of data security and backup storage to protect against potential cyber attacks.
It spending set for rise after 2013 dip
IT spending growth dipped to its lowest level since the financial crisis in 2013 at 4%, down from 5% in 2012, mainly due to lower spending in emerging markets like Russia and China. However, IDC predicts that IT spending will increase in 2014 as economies strengthen. While Europe's IT spending increased only slightly in 2013, the report notes signs of improved business confidence and economic growth that are expected to boost IT spending in 2014.

UCAS boosts admission process using cloud computing
- 1. UCAS Boosts Admission Process Using Cloud Computing Facebook.com/storetec Storetec Services Limited @StoretecHull www.storetec.net The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) adopted cloud computing prior to the release of this year's A Level results in a bid to boost the higher education applications process, it has been revealed. Ten days before the publication date of August 15th 2013, the body launched a public cloud infrastructure so that its IT infrastructure could be scaled up to meet the demands of students.
- 2. Every year, UCAS processes more than 2.5 million university and college applications and its website has to handle up to 180 logins per second when the A Level results come out and their recipients begin to react to them. Consequently, a fast, efficient and expandable computer system is vital if UCAS is to avoid having to deal with multiple crashes. However, it is also important to scale this back down when the sudden peak in demand subsides, as UCAS may not attract many hits at all for the rest of the year and it is therefore impractical to spend vast sums of money on a lot of hardware.
- 3. This is why the public cloud was deemed a suitable choice for the organisation. Chief operating officer at UCAS Steve Jeffree said: "The admissions process can be extremely stressful for students. Their futures depend on this move into higher education so we take our responsibility as the facilitator of this process very seriously. It is for this reason that, in 2013, we chose to move the core of the UCAS confirmation and clearing process to the cloud. The higher education sector will benefit from the move to cloud computing for many years to come."
- 4. UCAS revealed last week that there had been a decrease on the proportion of A Levels being awarded top grades, the second fall in two years. Some 26.3 per cent were given A or A*s, down from 26.6 per cent in 2012, although the overall pass rate increased to 98.1 per cent.
