Google gears up for music service

Google is planning a music service that would let users store music in the cloud, reports CNN.

The details of Google's long-rumoured music service are starting to leak out; setting the scene for the roll-out of a cloud-based storage locker that users could keep their music in and stream it from anywhere.

Songs and albums can then be streamed or downloaded to any Internet-connected device, likely including Android phones and the forthcoming Google TV.

Dell has unveiled a range of products to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) upgrade their IT infrastructure as they grow, states V3.co.uk.

The portfolio includes PowerEdge servers, PowerVault network storage and a wireless networking kit, all designed to be easy to deploy and simple to manage, according to Dell.

"These are all tailored to what SMEs told us they need: help with constrained budgets, and products that are easy to deploy, install and configure," says Mark Smith, Dell's SME manager for the UK.

SafeNet and NetApp have partnered to offer a new approach to storage security solutions, says SC Magazine.

The two companies claim the collaboration will provide customers with the ability to manage and protect their on-premise, cloud-based and virtualised data storage in a secure manner.

Tsion Gonen, corporate vice-president of products at SafeNet, says: “Working with NetApp enables us to offer data protection within the storage market. The end result is a robust security solution for customers that need persistent protection of and secure access to their data today and as they move to the cloud.”
