operational risk...

One major concern of customers today is to ensure that their collaborators are working on core business activities, which is challenged when users' machines are infected by a virus or operations are disrupted by attempts to install non-official applications: downloads or the use of I/O devices such as the CDROM drive or USB memory sticks to install programs.

In the above cases, both user and support staff time is lost. The user might not be able to perform his or her daily work (jeopardising the company activity: no email, no remote access, no credit card transactions, no more inventory management, etc.) while the support staff will spend time stabilising the computer's (maybe even the network's) environment to restore normal operations. In worst cases, companies are obliged to shut down all IT activity in order to stop a virus from spreading around, having major consequences on the organisation's activity.

When installed, Sanctuary solutions reduce the management cost of a network by up to 60%, increase the stability and availability of critical business applications and reduce instances of support intervention on both desktops/laptops and servers.

customizing the places bar

When you save or open a file in an application that uses Windows XP's common dialog box, chances are that you use the Places bar on the left side of the dialog box to speed up your navigation.

By default, the Places bar contains the following five locations:
* My Recent Documents
* Desktop
* My Documents
* My Computer
* My Network Places

While these locations are generally helpful, you may want to customize this list with your own folders/locations.

To do so, you simply edit the local group policy with the Group Policy Editor. Follow these steps to learn how:
1. Launch the Group Policy Editor (Start | Run | Gpedit.msc)
2. Go to User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Windows Explorer | Common Open File Dialog.
3. Double-click the Items Displayed In Places Bar setting.
4. In the resulting dialog box, select the Enabled option.
5. Type the paths to your custom folder locations in the Item 1-5 text boxes and click OK. Keep in mind that once you enable this setting, you must manually specify all five locations.

If you want to keep some of the default locations or specify other common locations, in addition to your custom items, you must use one of the following special shortcuts:

* CommonDocuments * CommonMusic
* CommonPictures * Desktop
* MyComputer * MyDocuments
* MyFavorites * MyMusic
* MyNetworkPlaces * MyPictures
* Printers * ProgramFiles
* Recent

mouse with a difference

The Fish is a new sardine shaped hand held mouse that will change the way we use computers. The Fish simply plugs into any available USB port and is ready to use.

Being hand held, surfing the Internet, playing games, designing or editing becomes a pain free pleasure. Without the need for a flat surface, The Fish is ideal for use with a laptop computer on trains or planes, where room is restricted.

don't just protect your business, protect your intellectual property too!

ask yourself...

How long would it take my business to return to normal operations if we encountered a catastrophic failure today?

ask yourself...

Would my business cease trading if I lost all of my history? e.g debtors, client information, quotes etc

Did you know...

Data loss due to disasters happens every single month in Cairns?

In the wake of major disasters, such as the Asian Tsunami, SARS, 9/11, and the looming threat of additional potential terrorist attacks, the message is still not hitting home...

What is a Disaster?

When thinking of a disaster most people immediately think of fire, flooding and earthquakes but a disaster can be any situation that unexpectedly interrupts service or corrupts data in an entire data centre. It can be any event that completely severs a network connection and even an act of sabotage.

how vulnerable is your computer system to a disaster?

Data loss can and will occur in several ways. Some examples seen in Cairns are:

  • An organisation falsely believed their data was being backed up.
  • An organisation where maintenance to server equipment caused critical services to fail (accounting application & email). 100+ users were affected for up to a week.
  • A small company where an employee saved company wide data to their local hard disk. The workstation failed and that data was unretrievable.
  • The disgruntled employee who was asked to leave the company and subsequently attempted to sabotage the computer system.
  • Fire resulting in building and computer damage. The insurance claim replaced the building and equipment...but the business never recovered from the data loss.

planning for a disaster is easy!
