Data "Explosion" Looms
The information stored on disk arrays has
grown at a compound annual growth rate of 60% over the last
decade - and that rate is predicted to be maintained
through to 2010, according to an IDC and EMC study. The amount of information created, stored
and replicated in 2006 has been calculated to
be 161 billion gigabytes - equivalent to three million times
the information in all books ever written. That figure is
expected to reach 988 billion gigabytes by 2010. The
research predicts almost 90% of data will be unstructured,
compared to around 70% historically. (KenRadio's

U.S.
Senators Probe Outsourcing Firms' Use of H-1Bs
Senators Chuck Grassley and Richard Durbin on May 14 sent
letters to nine foreign outsourcing companies requesting
detailed information on how they use temporary work visas
(H-1Bs) to bring foreign workers into the U.S. Critics say
outsourcing firms are using the visas to replace U.S.
employees with foreign workers, often cycling overseas staff
through U.S. training programs before sending them back into
jobs at home. "Supporters claim the goal of the H-1B program
is to help the American economy by allowing U.S. companies
to hire needed foreign workers," Durbin said in a statement.
"The reality is that too many H-1B visas are being used to
facilitate the outsourcing of American jobs to other
countries." In outlining the investigation, Durbin and
Grassley are making details of the visa program public for
the first time, including the number of visas awarded to
non-U.S. companies. These nine firms use 19,512 of the H-1B
visas, or 30% of the 65,000 visas allowed each year. (KenRadio's

State Senate Considers Limiting RFID
The
California state Senate is mulling legislation that would
prevent the use of RFID in drivers' licenses and public
schools, and tighten security standards on state-issued
documents that carry RFID, as well as outlawing
surreptitious access.
In the past year, 22 states have introduced legislation
regarding RFID technology, which boosts companies' ability
to keep track of inventory and equipment. A small but
growing number of tech security experts and some state
lawmakers fear RFID's unchecked deployment will lead not
only to eavesdropping, forgery and hacking but also to a
society in which an individual's privacy is compromised at
every turn by the remotely readable objects they carry.
