MICROSOFT DUBS WINDOWS SERVER 2012 ‘THE CLOUD OS’
Microsoft recently unveiled the latest version of its server operating platform known as Windows Server 2012, bringing new capabilities to the operation of top notch hardware. What’s even more interesting is how the company is looking to make its own mark on the server operating market, most recently referring to its latest release as “the Cloud OS.”
Windows Server 2012 includes features such as server virtualization, VDI, networking, storage, management capabilities and more. Meanwhile, a report appearing on PCWorld. com noted that the platform featured support for “up to 64 virtual processors.” That’s an improvement compared to previous support for just four.
The last version of Windows Server hit the market in 2009 as Windows Server 2008 R2.
WIPER MALWARE SEARCH ENDS UP FINDING ‘FLAME’
Search for something smaller and you could stumble upon something much more serious. That’s how things went for security firm Kaspersky when the company was tasked with investigating destructive malware known as “Wiper” by the International Telecommunication Union. “Wiper” was affecting the oil industry in Western Asia. Given the momentous task of analyzing the matter, Kaspersky didn’t turn up any credible links to the malware. However, what they did turn up was the Flame virus, highly suspected of being launched by a nation state. Kaspersky initially detailed Flame in May, a virus the company referred to as “the most sophisticated cyber weapon yet unleashed.” Flame was also notable for sharing coding with the infamous Stuxnet virus.
TWITTER, FACEBOOK COMPETE IN MOBILE ADVERTISING
Facebook may be the dominant force in the social networking arena but the world’s top profile site is facing increasing competition in another area: advertising. According to reports, Twitter will beat out Facebook in mobile advertising revenue during the course of 2012. So how much exactly could Twitter make? $129.7 million. That’s astronomical compared to an expected $72.7 expected to be made by Facebook. However, the top social site could be playing catch up. The report noted that Facebook just launched its mobile advertisement platform earlier this year.
eMarketer also identified a variety of issues that could account for the social networks’ progress in the market. Among them were Twitter’s use of Promoted Tweets and Facebook’s reliance on Newsfeed Premium ads.
Facebook previously received scrutiny over its advertising plan when General Motors pulled ad support within the social network shortly preceding the site’s highly anticipated IPO in May.
