Join us at CeBIT 2010 highlights event on 10 March at Breukelen, Netherlands
Logo Valadis
It has become a successful tradition: Our yearly (after) CeBIT highlights event.
We started this event after receiving a lot of remarks from our partners they were not able to attend the CeBIT because of their busy schedules or just because they didn't like to travel all the way to Hannover Germany. We decided to take up the challenge and create a worthy replacement for our valued partners.
The set-up is simple: we round up a bunch of interesting people from different vendors who then will bring you up to speed on new technologies and products in just 1 day! After the presentations you have the chance to talk to the vendors, look at new products, talk to our account managers and have a drink. 
We start at 10.00 and the event ends around 15:30. Check out the program here and see what vendors will be present. Click here to sign up. Before I forget: It's completely free!
See you in Breukelen!

SNOM M9 DECT
Now available from stock: the brand new SNOM M9 VoIP DECT phones. (not in US and Canada)
The SNOM M9 is the bigger, better, bolder brother (or sister?) of the SNOM M3. By combining professional functions of versatile business communication with the intuitive features of the mobile-carrier world, the snom m9 is ideally suited for professional and private use alike. With features such as hands free mode, calling line identification (CLI) by displaying name, number and image of the caller as well as typical mobile-phone features such as Address Book, Calendar, Calculator and Alarm function, the snom m9 provides the perfect blend of mobility and accessibility.
The CATiq and wideband VoIP codecs give you HIFI quality sound creating a superior voice quality when used to call other wideband codec voice users (DECT and/or wired). Wideband VoIP codecs will be the standard in the future raising quality for VoIP calls high above what you are used to from PSTN or ISDN on traditional networks. (no warranty that the quality of the conversation itself will be improved, that’s up to you and the party called/calling)
The SNOM M9 boasts integration possibility with Microsoft™ Office Communications Server 2007 R2 making it the only digital cordless phone in the market to offer this benefit. A further advantage of SNOM M9: the terminal already supports the latest IPv6-standard with its very first release. Such features combined with automatic configuration download make the SNOM M9 a truly unique cordless device. Last but not least, the SNOM M9 incorporates the renowned SIP stack from snom with its decade long proven interoperability and technology leadership.

Now shipping from stock: TPLINK MC220L Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter with SFP
TPLINK MC220L
I know about a lot of installations where fiber is used where there is no need for a full blown ethernet switch. Or situations where the switches are in place but do not have a fiber or SFP port. Try the TPLINK MC220L; easy to use, great (low) price and good quality.
I have seen a lot of this type of product, basically they are all the same. It's not an exiting or sexy product but they are used in huge amounts. The MC220L has the feature set needed; check out the specifications here. The MC220L has 1 Gb ethernet port and 1 SFP slot which can be filled with a SFP module to your liking.
The MC220L can be used stand alone but also in a 19" rack based chassis (TPLINK MC1400) holding up to 14 Media Converters.
The price is very good: around € 20,- (Listprice, excluding VAT, excluding shipping)

QNAP introduces next generation NAS series based on the new Intel Atom D510 Dual Core CPU’s
QNAP
The hard working boys and girls at QNAP did it again: they have taken their products to the next level by adopting the brand new Intel Atom Dual Core D510 CPU. This new Atom CPU boosts performance while lowering power consumption: still going green and saving the environment.
There will be a whole new series replacing the TS-x39 series; TS-259Pro, TS-459Pro, TS-659Pro and the TS-859Pro. All new Turbo Station NAS devices have the Intel Atom Dual Core D510 at 1.66 GHz with 1GB fast DDRII RAM on board. With this new series QNAP stays ahead of the competition in their market segment.
New is the VMware ready logo awarded for new enterprise level iSCSI features such as SPC-3 persistent reservation for clustering in VMware and Windows 2008. You can set up a Microsoft cluster environment using the Cluster Shared Volume and also build Hyper-V Clusters and execute virtual machine live migration between Hyper-V hosts. With the support of MPIO (Multipath Input Output) and MC/S (Multiple Connections per Session) on the Turbo NAS, you can connect to the QNAP iSCSI targets using 2 or more network interfaces from your server providing you failover and load balancing services. Furthermore, you can achieve better data transmission performance with MC/S setting.
I look forward getting my hands on these new models, maybe I should replace my current QNAP also.
