RapidSwitch Offers Clients More Control through Hosting API

Filed under: Geeky Stuff, House Of Software, Universe Of Technology — admin @ 10:26 am

RapidSwitch, Ltd announced the launch of its new application programming interface (API) in its MyServers control panel. The new API is touted to allow customers more control by giving them the option to use their own systems to monitor their servers.

RapidSwitch is a UK-based managed hosting and dedicated server firm. It hosts more than 4000 servers for various clients.
The said API is believed to be the first in UK hosting. It offers all the traditional features and server management functions that clients expect from their control panels for dedicated servers but all these features are delivered via an API. Using this new product, clients can build applications that can send and receive data directly from the MyServers control panel.

This new innovation is expected to open a wider range of control possibilities as far as server management is concerned.
The new API will also be designed to contain the current, historic and forecast bandwidth usage figures in order to allow for easier management planning. According to RapidSwitch Director Ed Butler, this is an important improvement to their control panel. He adds that the API is expected to benefit all types of clients. Reseller customers can give their clients access to IP requests, bandwidth data, reboots, etcetera, thereby improving the services that they offer.
Meanwhile, web developers and systems integrators are provided the ability to implement data into their own client-facing control panels. This allows them to also deliver full services to their customers.
RapidSwitch, Butler states, strives to maintain its competitive advantage and the control panel is just an example. The company will continue to seek new ways to improve each stage of client relationships from the servers and network to the management systems and support provided by the company.

The PS3 Isn’t Just a Game Console

Filed under: Geeky Stuff, Playing Games, Recreation Info — admin @ 12:02 am

While a new video game console can bring your family entertainment for many hours, picking the wrong one due to bad information can lead to serious disappointment. There is a baffling number of choices on the game console market. The information you are looking for can be very difficult to find, but you will find there’s a lot of misinformation out there.

First off, here are some questions that you need to ask yourself and you should keep in mind while reading:

-What are the types of games that interest you?
Do you plan on buying an HDTV anytime soon or do you already have one?

Why dont we go over your financial situation so we can figure out what your budget is for it?

Which piques your interest the most, playing games with a group or the solo playing experience?
Have you got any of the old school gaming systems?

There was a period in time where one could not find a game system that cost more. It’s a good thing that you will now find lower prices on them. Now priced at four hundred US dollars (it all depends on the model you plan on buying)this price is more comparable. Prices change constantly so chech the latest games consoles prices online.

The Playstation 3 is more than another mere game console! As it’s compatible with Blu-Ray, CD, and DVD media, it also has the ability to play DVDs in HD. Blu-Ray is now the leading high-definition film format; thus, if you’ve got an HDTV but no HD movie player, a PS3 might be a great means of getting both your movie and your gaming needs met in just one place. Without an HDTV display, movies in Blu-ray format don’t provide any better quality. That feature will not be of any use to you if you have only an old-fashioned standard-def TV.

While the PS2 controller is nearly identical to it, this unique controller utilizes a motion sensing technology known as Sisaxis. The controller, which can be tilted in six different directions, is able to sense which of the directions to which it has been tilted. How well this is going to work varies from each game. Doing it well means you’ll gain lots of experience, doing it wrong means you’ll be nothing more than a problem. You need to keep in mind that the Sixasis controller is missing the vibration feature. The newly released DualShock 3 controller with vibration will not be included with newly purchased PS3s until June 12, 2008.

Video games for the PS3 and Xbox 360 are pretty much the same the same for either system.

How Reliable are Cell Phones

Filed under: Geeky Stuff — admin @ 5:58 am

Cellular phones and pagers are part of the “now” generation, instant contact, anywhere at any time. People are looking for convenience, comfort and security. The question is how instantaneous and reliable is the contact?

Talking with someone is the main use for a cell phone, yet due to poor reception how often do calls not go through, or important calls “dropped” due to flaky coverage? Let us not forget, that in a time of tragedy, lines were congested and the resounding “all circuits busy” messages were heard from coast to coast. There is certainly room for improvement if you want to reach out and touch someone.

The alternative to voice communication is traditional text messaging, enjoyed by the young as SMS, a ‘hip’ communication method, and the older as the tried and true paging, a trustworthy means of communication. A carrier receives pages or text messages via a traditional dial up modem or Internet connection to their terminal, and then broadcasts the messages over their network to the appropriate wireless device. How instant is sending a text message? The answer might surprise you…it depends.

Traditional means of sending text messages is surprisingly reliable and fast. However, many cellular carriers, wishing to merge technologies while keeping costs down, have opted to utilize email technology to send text messages. Why not, an email is nothing more than a text message, using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). On the surface this sounds like a great idea, nearly everyone has email access, and the use of the Internet streamlines the sending of messages.

What is often overlooked, is the fact that email was not designed to be time sensitive. There can be significant delays and an instantaneous receipt can be lost when sending email to a pager or cell phone. Text messages sent via the email protocol SMTP could take a more scenic delivery route. While in many cases, receiving messages in a timely fashion is not critical; some industries require and benefit from the receipt of urgent messages. It is therefore important to realize and make a distinction between the protocols that are designed for instantaneous communication and those that are not.

If sending messages immediately to a cell phone or pager is required, more reliable protocols are available. When sending text messages, via a modem, the Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP) is extremely dependable, albeit slower due to the modem dialing. If sending messages with a high-speed Internet connection use the newer time sensitive Internet protocols: Simple Network Paging Protocol (SNPP) and Wireless Communication Transfer Protocol (WCTP). If your carrier supports these protocols they are the better options for sending important messages.

If carriers understand the “now” generation is about speed and reliability, customer satisfaction will improve. Text messaging is a reliable and useful communication method, especially since voice is not always convenient or possible. With public awareness and urging, carriers will increase their offerings of text messaging protocols. Carriers should offer email or SMTP, but they must also support time sensitive protocols, regardless, of whether the protocols are older such as TAP or newer such as WCTP.
