Before
the explosion of cell phone towers and providers in the mid '90s, only those
who had to stay constantly connected or could afford the steep cost could be
seen lugging around those brick-sized cell phones.

We appreciate your feedback on the last

I was just handed a huge IT project for a very important and lucrative new client. If we impress them, it will be the first of many big projects to come.
I have two teams in mind to work on this project. The first team meets every deadline and communicates well with me and my direct reports. Their team leader is efficient and gets the most out of her team. Their projects meet expectations, but never exceed them. They are technically perfect but creatively uninspired.
The second team is headed by a dynamic and creative team leader who can wow and charm any client. His team wins awards right and left for their projects. Its no secret, however, that they drive everyone insane by nearly missing deadlines and never communicating when they are running behind. Their creativity comes at a price.
Considering the importance of this new client and their product, which team should I choose? Should I value creativity or reliability?
It's
hard to believe that a short time ago, we only had to deal with megs of backup
data. Now, we're dealing with terabytes worth of data. What are the most
effective backup approaches and hardware to use for managing such large volumes
of data?
