In the IT world we should all be aware of what happens if you lose a datacenter, from both business and technical perspectives this possibility can leave us vulnerable to costly outage or even failure of the business itself! There can be many reasons for this to happen. Mother nature and human error show us time and again that a number of different unplanned events can hit your datacenter.

Ho Chi Minh City – The second seminar for CFOs and top executives “Office of the CFOs: Change the way work is done” on 8^th August 2013 had ended successfully with participants from over 100 companies in Vietnam including CEOs, CFOs, CXOs and top managers from large companies such as ACCA, PWC, Holcim, Viet Jet Air, Bitexco, Phillips, PNJ, etc. The seminar had gathered great attention from the media including VITV, HTV9, VTC10 and especially FBNC. The news, entitled “CFOs should be involved more in the business strategy development process”, was broadcasted on FBNC at 8:00 pm on 9^th August 2013.

Do you really know why you are doing desktop virtualisation? As with most technical solutions, desktop virtualisation has its place. It can enable flexibility, mobility, and a bunch of other “-ility” words. Unfortunately, I’ve seen people try to use a technical solution with the wrong goals. Take the following, which is a common occurrence:

Ho Chi Minh – August 2013 – The 10^th anniversary of World Blood Donation Day, hosted by AmCham Vietnam on 2^nd August 2013, attracted hundreds of people from large corporations in Ho Chi Minh City.  This is the second time TRG attended Amcham Blood donation day in 2013. By joining this event, we wish to lend a hand in helping the society save lives.

Hanoi – August 19^th, 2013 – Following the success of previous seminar in Ho Chi Minh City, the “Office of the CFO for Hospitality: new ways of working to maximize profits”, TRG once again bring this concept to the audiences in Hanoi. The seminar - which is on Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at Hilton Opera Hanoi - is going to expect more than 120 representatives who are CEOs, CFOs, and Chief Accountants, Hotel owners, directors and managers from 3 and above star rating hotels, resorts and other companies in the hospitality industry countrywide.

Today, it is a known fact that desktop virtualisation architectures touch many, if not all components and layers of an IT infrastructure. Thereby, we are confronted with many challenges and issues due to the requirement of creating a harmonized infrastructure, where all components interact well with each other to ensure the best user experience by also meeting IT and business objectives. This was not a mandate in the traditional IT model, where we did work in silos.

The success of the hotel industry tends to go hand in hand with the state of the economy.   With extremely large buildings and surrounding property to maintain, overhead is steep.  Owners and managers will often keep out-dated technology rather than upgrade in an effort to keep the costs down. Randy Steinbeck, Vice President of Sky Resorts in Orlando, says, "Forgoing technology upgrades may be sound enough in the short run but the long term effect may not measure up to close scrutiny.  Stay relevant using technology with the guest first and foremost in every decision." With never ending changes and upgrades in technology possible, how will a hotel manager decide which ones to install and what to skip?
