Product Description
This volume consists of abstracts of genealogical data from four of New York’s earliest newspapers–the New-York Gazette (1726-1744) and the New-York Weekly Journal (1733-1751), the two earliest city papers, and the New-York Mercury and the Weekly Mercury (1752-1783). These newspapers were originally produced as weeklies and usually consisted of four pages, with occasional supplementary issues. Their subject matter encompassed essays, treatises, parliamentary proceedings, governors’ messages, European and West Indian news, shipping news, incidents culled from other newspapers, and many advertisements. In this volume of abstracts may be found items yielding information concerning marriage, birth, death, age, status, place of residence, and place of origin, covering, in all, the years 1726 through most of 1783. Treatment is not confined to New York, for among individuals mentioned are those from all the other colonies, especially New Jersey (which had no newspaper in the colonial period), New England, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Clearfield’s reprint edition, which appeared serially in The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record between 1964 and 1976, has been reprinted by kind permission of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, with the addition of an introduction and an index containing the names of some 10,000 persons.

Product Description
This IDC study examines some of the issues raised by enterprise-liable users’ adoption of consumer-oriented data/application services. Specifically, it analyzes the potential of such usage to cause an operator backlash among enterprise wireless buyers/administrators and the financial impact such a backlash could have on operators.
“Were it not for the high-profile merger/acquisition announcements made over the last 12 months, 2004 would have likely been remembered as the year in which mobile data finally reached a point of salience in both the business and consumer markets. But, although this mobile data growth is great news for the industry as a whole, the nature of the development means that it has a very real potential to raise significant issues in the enterprise segment,” said Keith Waryas, research manager for IDC’s Wireless Business Network Services program. “At the core of the problem are conflicting trends in the market. On one hand, enterprises have generally begun to accept mobile as a cost of doing business and are increasingly centralizing their mobile spending into enterprise-liable contacts to gain a level of usage and, more important, cost control. On the other hand, business end users represent one of the key segments for mobile data sales, as they are currently among the heaviest users of mobile data services, including those targeted at consumers, and demonstrate the highest interest with regard to new data offerings. Operators will therefore face a critical challenge in making sure business end users continue to have access to the consumer services/applications they want, which plays directly into carriers’ overall data revenue generation plans, while at the same time making sure that this end-user activity does not create conflict between the network provider and the enterprise wireless buyer/administrator.”

Product Description
Using Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and related technologies, data centers can consolidate data traffic onto a single network switch, simplifying their environments, promoting virtualization, and substantially reducing power and cooling costs. This emerging technology is drawing immense excitement, but few enterprise IT decision-makers and implementers truly understand it. I/O Consolidation in the Data Center is the only complete, up-to-date guide to FCoE. FCoE innovators Silvano Gai and Claudio DeSanti (chair of the T11 FCoE standards working group) systematically explain the technology: its benefits, tradeoffs, and what it will take to implement it successfully in production environments. Unlike most other discussions of FCoE, this book fully reflects the final, recently-approved industry standard. The authors also present five detailed case studies illustrating typical FCoE adoption scenarios, as well as an extensive Q and A section addressing the issues enterprise IT professionals raise most often. This is a fully updated version of Silvano Gai’s privately-published book on FCoE, written for leading FCoE pioneer Nuova Systems before the company was acquired by Cisco. Nearly 12,000 copies of that book have already been distributed, demonstrating the immense interest in FCoE technology, and the scarcity of reliable information that has existed about it.
