Study by Flexera Software and IDC: Enterprises wasting money on … – funkschau

            The study “2013-14 Key Trends in Software Pricing & amp; Licensing Report” by Flexera Software and IDC shows that companies despite saving projects and decreasing software budgets continue to waste money on shelfware, ie nichtbenötigter software. At the same time, a clear trend away from perpetual licenses through to subscription and usage-based license models can be observed, as companies want to want more flexibility and more value out of the software costs.

The study “2013-14 Key Trends in Software Pricing & amp; Licensing Report” ^[1] is that almost all companies waste money for unused software – so-called shelfware. 96 percent indicate that at least part of the purchased software can be described as shelfware. With 39 percent reported a large part of that at least 21 percent of software costs are spent on shelfware. At the same time budget to be reduced more. Almost two-thirds of companies (63 percent) say that the software budget in the next two years either stagnate or decrease.

“shelfware accumulates easily when companies no best practices and technologies for the capture, use management and optimization of the software portfolio proactively, “says On Konary, research vice president for Software Licensing and Provisioning at IDC. “Companies need knowledge of where and how software licenses are used, and need to match with the complex provisions in the license agreement that data. With this information, CIOs can identify shelfware, eliminate waste and allocate their budgets more effectively “

The study reveals also that the traditional procurement model for software -., The perpetual software license – is much less frequent application. Currently only say 45 percent of the companies that the majority of their software portfolio based on open-ended licenses. In 12 to 24 months, this proportion will fall to 36 percent.

alternative licensing models are becoming increasingly popular. Almost a quarter of respondents (24 percent) indicates that the majority of their software portfolio based on subscription licenses. In 12 to 24 months, this proportion will rise to 26 percent. Use 17 percent of their software inventory usage-based licensing models. In 12 to 24 months, this proportion increases to 18 percent.

“Sometimes it makes little sense to pay the full price for software, if still uncertainty about the expected benefit is,” said Steve Schmidt, Vice President of Corporate Development at Flexera Software. “In their search for ways to optimize some companies prefer payment models with which they can bring their costs more in line with the benefits. Some pay a subscription model for certain periods and other usage-based models rely on to pay only for used features, functions or capabilities. “

Die eBook Series “Storage” Lights 3 essential aspects of the concept of software-defined storage: data security, performance and management. Part 1 of this series describes how Integrated features guarantee high availability and provide protection against failures.

The term “software-defined” has arrived in the storage world. Hardly a big supplier who does not use this word to describe its products. But what lies behind this concept the advantages offered by companies through its implementation and when it is worthwhile to think about software-defined storage.

The eBook series “Storage” examines three key aspects of the concept of software defined Storage:

• Data Security: Integrated features guarantee high availability and provide protection against failures
• Performance: Optimal use of different storage media brings the storage infrastructure in top form
• Management : Central and automated management of all storage resources – completely independent of manufacturers

software definied Storage provides high availability and fault protection (Part 1/3)

 Today’s digital “24×7″ world does not tolerate IT downtime or loss of valuable data. Companies are therefore reliant on their applications around the clock run without interruption and access is guaranteed to business-related information at any time.

software-defined Storage (SDS) is characterized by the fact that for the efficient and intelligent data management essential features are integrated from home and can be used directly speicherklassen- as well as device-across at no extra cost. For companies that are looking within their business Continiuity- and disaster recovery strategy for alternatives to conventional approaches, the exchange on SDS is therefore an attractive alternative

OnePlus: software updates in October, OnePlus Two planned – AndroidPIT (blog)

To OnePlus and the unattainable smartphone OnePlus One will not stand still, even though many have probably already written off. In two of the minds behind Reddit OnePlus now answer questions about software updates to the interchangeable backs, the Invite system and the successor OnePlus Two, which should be planned already.

 
 

The unattainable OnePlus One. / © AndroidPIT

If you have a OnePlus One is lucky – all the others are likely to become indifferent shrug their shoulders at this topic. Rarely has there been at such a promising smartphone so many disappointments.

 
 

Open ticket sales before 2015

 
 

Reddit now answer Carl and David of OnePlus some questions, but a lot of good news there is not. First things first: This year there will be no more the OnePlus One free sale. The reservation and pre-order system that has annoyed and deterred many potential customers, continues to be the only way to get to a device.

 
 

Software update with voice activation

 
 

For the owner of a one but there will be a software update in October, which will bring, among other options for voice activation (“OK OnePlus”) with itself, similar to the Moto X (2014). How this will affect the battery time, but remains to be seen. In addition, to resolve problems with the touch screen and other bugs the update. At least three other surprises are also planned.

 
 

bamboo and other removable trays

 
 

Who was hoping for a change of shell, also had to practice patience and sacrifice in the last time. The coveted bamboo covers are still not to be had, as of Wednesday, October 01, but it should Sandstone-type cover for reordering. In October also want to announce how and if you come to one of the StyleSwap cover made of bamboo. This is surprising, but it had recently been called, the project change shell had been pulped.

 
 

OnePlus Two, Smart Watches, Tablets

 
 

a successor we must so soon but do not expect: A OnePlus Two is not expected until the second or third quarter of 2015 – if it still gives the company. For fans of smaller displays, there is a glimmer of hope: “We think about it,” Carl responds to a question from a user for a OnePlus with 4.7-5-inch display.

 
 

Smart Watches or tablet but it will not be in the near future probably. The market for wearables seems to OnePlus-makers not mature enough, and in the tablet sector, one can currently offer anything significantly better than the Nexus tablet.

 
 

A bit of self-criticism can be found in the interesting Reddit thread also. So Carl admits that at OnePlus things went wrong:

 
 

 

“It’s definitely not gone as planned, the demand was about thirty times as high as thought -. Now we try to catch our team wear just is not big enough to be this rush We meet new people like crazy one.. – in a few months we should have everything under control. ”

 

In the market place now will find used software from Microsoft also licenses of Adobe Acrobat, Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop and the Creative Suite. For companies that want to migrate to Adobe’s subscription offering, sale of the old licenses worth circumstances rather than the premium manufacturer.

“65.212394366197”

in May launched initially with a focus on Microsoft products used software market li-x has been operational now Adobe products. As a marketplace that gives prospective buyers and buyer, it is incumbent li-x course, to provide an attractive offer. Should encourage a sample calculation with which the operator wants to win provider.

reason is that in many companies will be thinking about switching from the current license usage to the recently introduced Adobe subscription model. To make the attractive lures Adobe customers with discounts. This they get, for example, when upgrading from a purchased Creative Suite 3 on the cloud model. However, the matter from a user perspective a catch: Because by accepting the discount offer for the subscription service goes out the purchased license

This is li-x with his argument.. The operator of the used software market calculates that it can be financially rewarding to forgo the discount and instead the ones not needed when switching to the subscription model licenses for sale.

is the calculation of the annual Rental price for CS6 without discounts applied. The is around 600 euros per year. The sale of used licenses of CS6 Web Premium, in li-x – bring up to 1300 EUR – depending on the daily exchange rate. Who takes care of the transfer passengers off in Adobe claim is only 300 euros saves in the first two years. In the best case, a company with the sale saves so around 1000 euros.

The example of a CS6 Premium Royalty expects li-x before, that it may be worthwhile to kick off Adobe’s cloud-transfer passengers and statttdessn to sell Sofftware no longer needed on the stock market (Graph: li-x).

As the operator of the stock market is li-x companies, institutions and government regulated market for used software. This means that is provided with an upstream clearing for legal certainty and transparency. In addition, an automated trading system determined daily rates for software licenses. li-x is funded by a commission for selling and buying company on the transaction amount. This currently stands at 12 percent.

basis of the business model is a judgment of the Federal Court in conformity with a decision of the ECJ, the sale of licenses is referred to as lawful. For trade with Adobe software licenses specifically also a judgment of the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main is significant. This was determined with reference to the decisions of the Supreme Court and the ECJ, that the trading volume licenses is legal – way, no matter under what conditions these were left to the original purchaser. At the latest so that was a counter-argument to the manufacturer obsolete, that this had led to the field again after the decision of the ECJ.

Vulnerabilities – urgently Refresh this software – THE WORLD

To be safe from attacks from the Internet, the use of anti-virus software is recommended. Equally important to always keep installed programs up to date is. In this way, you close dangerous vulnerabilities, take control of your PC via the malicious programs.

Some programs are particularly vulnerable. In general, the common software, the higher the degree of hazard. This post shows popular free programs that you should urgently update for security reasons.

security risk Java

A great danger is based on Java. The runtime environment is required to run various programs or Web applications. Practical:. Java supports various device classes, so it runs well on PCs as on cell phones

This is attractive to attackers: they bring malicious programs in circulation, the exploit a Java vulnerability that they might operate under the same multiple operating systems. Java also runs on nine out of ten computers worldwide – the widespread use makes the use of a security risk

Download: Download Java Runtime Environment (32-bit)

Download: Java Runtime Environment (64-bit) download

Adobe Reader and Flash Player

Also common in use are Adobe Reader and the Adobe Flash Player. Although the distance to Java is huge – Java gets forty times as many attacks such as Adobe Reader. But the Adobe programs are due to the dangerous security gaps and over again in the headlines

Download:. Download Adobe Flash Player

Apple iOS 8: Update to 8.0.2 to correct errors – Spiegel Online

Since Friday morning, iPhone users can download an update to iOS 8.0.2 from Apple’s servers. The software corrects problems with the wireless connection and the fingerprint sensor of the new iPhones 6 and 6 Plus. The trigger for this error was the update to iOS 8.0.1, Apple had released on Wednesday and already withdrawn due to numerous error messages after an hour.

according to press reports to have been affected by the problem at about 40,000 iPhone users to be. A confirmation of this number does not exist, however. The Group had advised users to reinstall iOS via iTunes 8, if the new iPhones were rendered useless by the faulty update. A very time-consuming, complicated process. Affected the new models iPhone 6 and iPhone were only 6 Plus.

You have worked “day and night” to eliminate the error, it says at Apple. Now the corrected update on the Software Update of iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch can be found. Because it is a so-called incremental update that replaces only part of the operating system, rather than replace the entire system, the download just over 70 megabytes is done quickly.

We have tried the update on both an iPhone 6 as well as on an iPhone 6 Plus and could not detect any new faults on both devices. A connection to mobile networks works just as easily as the touch-ID fingerprint sensor on the device after the update.

In addition, eliminating the update to iOS 8.0.2 just those problems which had iOS 8.0.1 addressed. Above all, a bug is fixed, the disturbed data exchange between the new Healthkit technique and fitness apps. One can therefore expect that in the next few days a number of updates for those apps will appear.

The most important new features of iOS 8

iPhone 6 – iOS 8.0.2 available – Few problems – THE WORLD

So much scorn and displeasure with a really hot coveted Apple product did not exist long. Now, Apple responded to the problems with the new iPhone models. A software update had been circulated, the U.S. company said. iOS 8.0.2 will fix the recent problems.

In first reactions on Twitter, users made about the re-updating Vesuch funny and celebrated themselves as pioneers .

The software version 8.0.1. the operating system iOS had been previously withdrawn. Many users had complained after the installation, including simple calls to mobile networks was no longer possible and the fingerprint sensor was defective. After updating to version 8.0.2, the most pressing problems seem to be but fixed. Most Tweets reported accident-free installations.

In addition, customers were on the Internet, that the iPhones are supposed to be easy to bend. Under the title “Bendgate” joke campaigns have since been conducted on the Internet. Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller share this with via email: “In normal use a bent iPhone is extremely rare after the first six days of sales is only nine customers have reported with a bent iPhone 6 with us.”

The housings of the devices were made of solid aluminum and tested for load capacity. The devices are also reinforced in several places with titanium.

The three-point Verbiegetest in Cupertino

In an unusual step for the traditionally secretive company Apple on Thursday allowed some journalists insight into his lab in Cupertino, where the stability of the iPhones is checked. These included the technology blog “Recode” and “The Verge”. In the laboratory, according to their reports simulates, among other things, what happens to an iPhone when it sits down.

It also said there was a “three-point -Verbiegetest “where on the iPhone in the middle of pressure is applied while it is supported on the top and bottom edges. In this case, an iPhone is not bent 6 Plus under a weight of 25 kg durable, it said.

Also, competitors jumped on the “Bendgate” train on. Samsung said in a tweet, its smartphones have extra and not by chance curved screens. BlackBerry CEO John Chen encouraged at the launch of a new smartphone on Wednesday those present, to subject his device one will bend test.

“We do not bend, we break”

The candy brand “KitKat” saw in the situation a perfect transition to her usual advertising slogan. “We do not bend, break us,” it said in a tweet to a photo by broken chocolate bar.

What else to do with the iPhone? In recent days, especially the model was shot through 6 Plus, among other things, frozen with liquid nitrogen, dropped from a height of about two kilometers and shredded in a blender.

Apple shares were sacked on Thursday by four percent. Result, the company had lost in Silicon Valley some 24 billion dollars in market value. With the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Apple wants the South Korean rival Samsung slimming market share in the highly competitive smartphone business.

Deformation of the iPhone is in normal use “extremely rare,” said Apple. In the first six days since its launch just nine customers had reported due to a bent iPhone 6 Plus. “Our iPhones were designed, developed and manufactured, so they are nice and sturdy at the same time.” For stainless steel, titanium and the hardest glass would be installed in the smartphone industry. A user had a picture of his slightly bent phone published on the internet after he had worn for 18 hours in the front pocket

Apple:. Nearly 40,000 affected by iOS problem

The revised version of the iPhone operating system iOS 8 contains “bug fixes and improvements”, share with Apple. Previously, many users of the new version were reported in social networks and online forums about problems: Some owners of the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus could not connect to the wireless network more with other users worked the recognition across the fingerprint, the Touch ID, not more.

U.S. media report that Apple underestimated the number of affected customers of the problem to nearly 40,000 owners. The Group had the new operating system iOS 8.0.1. published and withdrawn a few hours later because of complaints again. The update was designed to integrate programs for fitness monitoring in the Apple operating system. Whether with iOS 8.0.2 now all the problems are solved, was initially unclear.

price of Apple’s stock plunged from

fell, the price of Apple stock because the bad news by 3.8 percent to $ 97.88. Investors worried about the sales of the new products

The competition from Apple rubbed in the face of circulating the net Spotts under the heading “Bendgate” hands. Consolidated Samsung, for the sake of success of the iPhone has 6 preferred the launch of its new smartphone Galaxy Note 4 in China and South Korea, showed an iPhone that is in front of a – very straight – bows Samsung smartphone, and advised: “Bowing yourself from those who are worth it . “

iOS 8: Warning! This error has the latest Apple software – tz online

Munich – iOS 8, the new operating system from Apple, since Wednesday is available for download. However, the software has many quirks. We have summarized the errors for you.

Since Friday, September 19, there is the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus to buy in stores in Germany. The rush is huge, the new smartphone from Apple brings with it with not only a new design but also a new operating system: iOS 8 All who already own an iPhone, iPad or other Apple product, already had two download days before launch the new software. With the following restriction: 8 iOS is only available for iPhone 4S and iPad from the generation from the second generation. The reason: Older iPhones have a too slow processor to get the new OS up and running.

But maybe that’s not a disadvantage for those affected. For a few hours after download start there were some angry reactions in the network. Partial downloading of iOS would have taken eight to ten hours. And even if the software seems to have crept some errors. Apple needs to accept the criticism you to have 8 a bit sloppy in the development of iOS.

iOS 8 requires a lot of memory

Apple users, the iOS 8 wanted to load on their smartphone or tablet itself, not only had to contend with the fact that the download due to server overload delayed by hours. They were faced with another problem. To download the new operating system, it takes about 6 GB of free space, otherwise is not possible to download it. Many users were annoyed on Twitter and Facebook that they would have to delete in order to install the software only music, photos and more apps. Who wants to work around this problem, iOS 8 can download via iTunes. There, the software requires only about 1 GB of space.

Whatsapp conversations can not be saved in iCloud

Another problem is there with the messenger app ‘WhatsApp’. Users complained that no longer have the chats saved in the iCloud. Although the Whatsapp developers have already adapted their app on iOS 8, but the memory function apparently still does not work. Thus, it is the users no longer possible in the meantime to secure their conversations in the iCloud and consult them at a later point in time.

Problems with iCloud Drive

Apple announced that iCloud Drive would help all those who have problems with too little space. For this to each user 5GB of storage are available for free. With iCloud Drive, it is possible to share content between multiple Apple devices. However, the synchronization between iCloud iCloud Drive and can cause problems. Above all Mac users have reason to fret, because iCloud Drive the Mac operating system OSX Yosemite needed, this is but provided only in the fall of Apple.

HealthKit was removed from the App Store

The fitness program ‘Health’ was a big topic on the keynote by Apple . With this application, users have the option of their physical activity and other personal data, such as blood pressure values ​​observed over the iPhone. But shortly after the launch of iOS Download 8 was noted that the fitness app does not allow the integration of other apps. This makes ‘HealthKit’ but little sense, since the application is dependent on it to work with other apps. Apple reigned and took the fitness program unceremoniously from the App Store.

Calls not disappear from app switch bar

Another problem that users of iOS complain 8, represents the call history. With a gesture can be, for example, on the iPad an overview of all open apps provide. In this summary function for the last dialed calls are displayed in iOS 8 and can not delete. The display can be initially only change by coming into contact with other people and is quickly visible to prying eyes. The display can be shut off permanently only on the ‘Settings’ menu. There you have ‘Mail, Contacts, Calendars’ and select Deselect the’ Add App Switcher ‘recent’ contacts. Thus, the problem should be resolved.
