interviewed for The Nation Hugo Espinoza, executive Citrix, a corporation that u $ s 1,300 M bill some and not sells software, but is dedicated to the delivery of applications.
The work is no longer associated with a place but an activity. For several years this new paradigm is emerging in the technology industry. Following this logic we can understand the growth that has taken virtualization as a way to make business applications accessible anywhere that users demand.
In fact, consultants such as IDC data indicates that currently 9% of the servers already virtualized and ensure that this figure will double every year, reaching 40% in 2011. One of the most active companies in the business is Citrix application delivery. Some of his clients in our country are Comafi Bank, DeRemate.com, Antarctica Insurance, Ticketek and Scania. To learn more about this business, THE NATION interviewed Hugo Espinoza, general manager for the Southern Cone of Citrix, a company which last year billed $ 1300 million worldwide and 50 million just in Latin America.
To put this in perspective, the global business application delivery has grown between 15% and 20% in the last three years, almost double what the software industry grows it.
IDC believes that virtualization global services, which amounted to 5500 million dollars last year, reaching a value of 11,700 million for 2011.
"Telecommunications companies, banking and retail are our customers," says Espinoza. Tratz is connecting business applications, but not between them, as does SOA (Service Oriented Architecture ) but people use them, so we call Service Oriented Computing. "The example of telecommunications companies (telcos , in the jargon) is used to better understand these services.
" The telcos are basing their business model to eliminate branches and move to a customer based on contact centers and Web pages. They put their software applications within the data center and we will make ourselves available securely to their own employees and for others, "he explains.
Apps Delivery
Strictly speaking, the business of providing the delivery Applications refers to the components of a distributed infrastructure that companies implemented between data centers and end users to ensure the delivery of any application to any user anywhere.
"This is evolving from a tactical solution to a given technological problem to become a centerpiece of how they do business so that technology is increasingly important for business," says the executive.
Its impact on the Southern Cone is still incipient, but is on the rise. "Our turnover last year in the region was 6 to $ 7 million, with growth 48%, and last year we had grown 30%, confirming the business model, expanding.
Citrix is \u200b\u200ba company that in the past four years has bought 7 or 8 companies to expand its portfolio of services in a purchasing strategy that is reminiscent of Oracle for its speed to digest. "We have spent between 1800 and 2000 million in acquisitions and research and development. We needed a solution integration and went out to buy the leaders of each segment to sum to the bid. Now sixfold the market in which we operate, "he concludes.

The impact of social networks adjust the supply of business software. Now, also the CRM, which is used for customer relations, change of direction. What is new is seeing the company from the perspective of consumer
Accusing the impact of mobile devices like the iPhone and BlackBerry, plus the boom of social networks as a new modality of sharing strategic information, the software company now poses a new relationship with users, more participatory.
The change can be seen even in the business of selling software as a service (SaaS, Software as a service), where the data management made through the Web. The CRM (Customer Relationship Management), as is known, is the software that companies use to manage their customer relationships. Last year, analysts specialized consultants such as IDC, Yankee Group and Gartner, began to focus on the concept of CRM 2.0, which was coined by Paul Greenberg, CRM Research Center.
The main change in perspective comes from looking at the business from the perspective of the client and not the client from the perspective of the company.
In this context, Oracle, one of the giants of enterprise software, has released its proposal in the region of CRM 2.0. While the market model applications under demand and has ten years on the market, with 15 versions in the past four years, Oracle seems determined to consolidate its position in this segment, playing field as traditional providers such as SAP, as companies born of the Web specifically SaaS model under his arm.
"Gadgets and widgets are part of this new release is a key element of the ubiquity of users," says Rich Caballero, Vice President of Product Strategy -. OnDemand is the first time it crosses the power of CRM with applications like Google Maps or MyYahoo!
The content is the interface
Collaboration is the key to this model that aims to give greater visibility to sales process and customer service. In the case of Oracle's CRM that is produced by the combination of virtual notes left by users and a message center that allows the movement of these comments are updated, consolidated and centralized to be accessed from a Web page. "The idea is to collaborate to better understand customer behavior in markets where a lot of work with references, for example, financial environments, and thus broaden the contacts through the power of social networks," says Niccolo Spataro, Senior Director Oracle on Demand for Latin America.
"are users that are driving technological innovation involved now," Ricardo Cardenas CRM Solutions director for Latin America. They are the ones that find new ways to interact with businesses, the demand is different and he is us decide whether we will participate in that conversation, to bring other blogs, other blogs, other ideas in the context of the transaction. "
The point at which the three managers agree with the same emphasis when talking about ubiquity. The CRM, in this new era of on demand software, is profiled as a resource that is increasingly have to access from anywhere and from any device connected to the network

Horacio Werner, general manager of Cisco for Argentina, on technological growth that qualifies as "historic."
few days ago released a study on the use of broadband in Argentina as revealed in figures two remarkable facts. The first was that in 2007 had grown by 61% the number of connections of this kind , which positioned the country as the fastest growing in Latin America in this regard. The second point was that the largest increase was recorded in the interior, with 75%, while in the metropolitan area of \u200b\u200bBuenos Aires there was a 57% increase. According to a study by IDC and sponsored by Cisco, Argentina currently has 2,557,413 active connections. To break down the reading of these results the NATION interviewed Horacio Werner, a former Motorola is now general manager of Cisco for Argentina. This is their point of view. - What makes reading the results? "A growth of 61% is something not very common. When 25% of households have access to broadband and we are not talking a niche, or the ABC1 sector. And if we add the people who access from an Internet café or from a cyber, and is massive. Not to mention the access from the mobile, which today is still in its infancy, but it moves well. Mass access to connectivity change the map, because although we are the largest company in connectivity also creates a scenario for multiple communications services. There is much to be done, but this is a reality.
- How business impacts this new scenario?
"I come from a cell phone, and I remember that at first was only within the CTI, and when he entered the first competitor Movicom, there was a dramatic acceleration of the business. A whole world of smaller companies focused on value added. Today there are many SMEs that are starting to grow services in the world of mobile applications, and with the right public policies that can grow even more. But the news that a quarter of the population has broadband is a milestone in our industry.
"When you took his post last year, he announced his intention to work with the Government on the issue of digital inclusion. What was that?
"There is enough activity. The creation of a Ministry of Science and Technology is definitely something auspicious, but there is a complication of high level because there are many actors in the public sector have interference in the issue of digital inclusion. I say complicated because it is always easier to have few partners to work, now also on Science and Technology, is the Ministry of Public Management, the Ministry of Economy, Beatriz Nofal in the National Investment Agency, and something that is not smaller, the President, who has also expressed interest in this regard.
agenda should be to make a calendar with Cicomra Cessi and because there are many top level officials who are taking the issue as their own; Economics, for example, we are working with a group of officials in the Argentine technology cluster development. COMMENTS

Clear Bubble Inside Lower Lip
In 2007, information created by humanity amounted to 281,000 million GB
, developed by the consultant IDC. According to the source, in 2007, the total volume of information created, captured and replicated worldwide climbed to 281,000 million gigabytes. The number is so huge, so abstract, that the report calls for an almost poetic metaphor to explain: "We can only say that during 2007 the number of bits in the digital universe was greater than the number of stars in the physical universe" . And they say grow 10 times over 5 years. According to an IDC forecast, the digital universe will increase at a rate of 60% annually between 2007 and 2011
. And in the face of phenomena such as Web 2.0, in 2011, advance, users create 70% of the global digital information. However, data created by the public do not represent half the total, which is predominantly digital shadow
call. The concept refers to content that is not created by people, but about people. Examples? Security camera images, searched the Internet, credit card transactions, mailing lists, images of medical studies, and so on.
The digital shadow
The report also states that while corporate and government level produce 30% of the global digital information, are directly responsible for the safety of 85% of the information that must be protected issues confidentiality and regulatory compliance.
Your challenge is to manage a flood of unstructured information that is not indexed in any database, because according to IDC, 95% of the digital universe is unstructured data composed of organizations and these data add 80% of all available information. For everyone to do an analysis of their own fingerprint on this world of ones and zeros, is available a free software called Personal Digital Footprint Calculator .
To Henry Forbes, a former Oracle
is now manager of the Content Management area of EMC
-company-sponsored study, the explosion of unstructured information required by companies' use of all resources software intelligence to optimize their availability. "
According to the manager, "a solution that addresses these requirements are listed today from $ 30,000 in the country." In the future, perhaps the new and challenging ways as atomic storage, which aims to transform the hard-disk atoms can provide an answer to the Big Bang of data to be announced. Rafael Bini

With respect to LTE is already filed and processed by ITU and 3GPP for the first and main driver of this evolution to 4G is Ericsson. With regard to WiMax should mention UMA Universal Mobile Access that allows this technology is compatible with UMTS / WCDMA and can be offered on the same phone, as we offer several OEM. The note seemed like a good but incomplete that is halfway on the 4G. It is a very important step regarding previous notes on this subject, but not stay there. Thank you very much, Jorge

LTE, Mobile WiMAX UMD and seek to dominate the 4th. generation cellular
While in Argentina is still very recent debut of 3G or third generation cellular technology, which basically means broadband on mobile phones in more mature markets there is already talk of 4G and there is a heated debate about which technology will prevail in the future.
One by one LTE (Long Term Evolution) is proposed as an enhancement of UMTS, but say that coexists well with the known standards. Is behind corporations like Nokia Siemens Networks field testing in urban areas to 173 megabits per second. Its availability is expected to be from 2010. For its part, Mobile WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is the telecommunications technology created in 2001 by the WiMax Forum, which defined WiMax as a technology that allows the arrival of the last mile with wireless broadband and an alternative to cable or ADSL. " For mobile WiMax, also known as IEEE 802.16m, implementations may be used for both fixed and mobile services. The telephone company Sprint Nextel in the United States invested $ 5 billion to deploy its WiMax network and many corporations such as Vodafone, Intel and Telmex, who have put their chips on it. For UMB (Ultra Mobile Broadband) is a derivation of the standard known as CDMA2000. It is a system based on TCP / IP, that is, the Internet standard, and reaches speeds of 280 Mbps; say it commercially in 2009. Now it is expected that in the course of this year and next, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) convened to all bidders to formally establish who the main players of the future of mobile phones and have the right to be considered 4G.

What Do Pinky Rings Mean
The consumer electronics products projected $ 171 check billion in 2008
The picture typical samples Gates and Slash is not a photomontage, is that each year the International Fair of Consumer Electronics (CES, according to its acronym in English) of Las Vegas becomes, for a few days, the planetary capital of consumer electronics. And the show is the language of the big brands to communicate and demonstrate their ability to gain the attention of others.
From Monday to Thursday of last week, the world's most powerful companies in technology and design came together in this exhibition, a series of buildings covering an area equivalent to 28 football stadiums, to present their innovations compared to an eager public and crowded.
News from this year? Panasonic plasma screen with 150-inch, Sony's brand new Blu-ray to $ 200, Intel with their mobile devices, which strengthen the mix of Internet and home electronics, and once again, the farewell of Bill Gates, from the middle of this year will devote himself to philanthropy. There are few facts for an exhibition in a few years managed to move in the interest of the legendary Comdex, despite the specter of recession.
All green
Beyond the endless fashion devices, including solid trends perceived as irreversible the boom in green technologies, with products aimed at saving energy and manufactured with less toxic materials.
Virtually all major manufacturers are betting industry to the environment today, under pressure from countries with increasingly demanding legislation on these issues.
Another controversial issue that the bank is the poor impact of Windows Vista operating system. Not reached with the statements of Gates and his sales figures, which speak of a hundred million of the new updates for Windows, to change the mood. Many analysts still wonder if after five years of development could not have released Microsoft operating system with a satisfaction level as high as that reached at the time XP.
In another vein, while the American economy today through some storm fronts arising from unemployment, oil prices and deteriorating credit markets and housing, the spokesmen Consumer Electronics Association (organizers of the expo) estimated that the sector had, in the United States earns about U.S. $ 161,000 million during 2007, up 8% over 2006. The outlook for growth this year, and is estimated to be around U.S. $ 171 billion. Both
deployment seems to have aroused the envy among those providing the infrastructure for the implementation of the CES organizers complain that all costs were five times more expensive there than anywhere else in the United States. A sore that can become a major reason for the CES next year to move with trends elsewhere, according to advance.

Rook Piercing Swollen
Interview with Alejandro Raffaele, manager of Sun Microsystems in Argentina, published
the newspaper La Nacion.
talked about what happened in 2007 and how will the agenda for 2008, with a company that went from selling "irons" to sign up fully to software and services. Sound familiar?
Sun Many remind one of the companies that led the dotcom boom in the 90's. Sun today is no company that Microsoft and shooting darts IBM. Now, both are their partners. No more disputes over control of Java since Sun decided to open this technology in 2006 and its Solaris operating system, which is now open source.
-Sun made two important things in 2007. The first business was the largest infrastructure integration has done in its history with the public sector, where in addition to selling its own technology, we have sold third-party products such as Oracle. The project is related to a system of information technology that forms a national network which by now I can not give many details. "The second event relates to that we now have a portfolio of more software products. We have acquired companies in the area of \u200b\u200bmiddleware and integration middleware pointing Enterprise Service Bus and Service Oriented Architecture. And we have developed an Identity Management with which we are making progress in some projects, it has been acquired by the segment of the telecommunications and banking. This is all new to us, historically a company dedicated to hardware. And it all happened in the course of 2007.
- What happened c on the map of alliances?
"We have four great allies in the area of \u200b\u200bthe integrators who are Accenture, Siemmens, Indra and EDS. On the other hand, we have business with large developers such as SAP, Oracle and Symantec. But this year we began working with Microsoft and now sell hardware with its operating system, while IBM and Dell have started selling their products in our (Solaris). Sunday's competitors are our Today's part-ners.
- What is shaping the agenda next year?
"The public sector went very slowly on the issue of the election, but next year will open up numerous opportunities. The banking industry has become a catch-up after the crisis. And telecommunications remain a key driver for us. Finally, agriculture has evolved so much that now the inside is a powerful market for all technology. The new challenge is to open our channels to the interior. Rafael Bini

. The figure represents an increase of 23 percent over December 2006, according to a private study. By 2008 the number of users reached 18 million. There are 2.6 million individual accounts broadband. The paper estimates that in late 2008, although that is expected to occur amesetamiento growth in the number of users is expected to reach 18 million users , almost half of the population, said Paul Tedesco. The expert noted that in the past three years, growth in the number of users was around 30 percent. "The massiveness of the Internet will come when the connection is through a simple and affordable device"
he said.
added that while current market there are 16 million users, in terms of individual customers or businesses, the number drops to 3.1 million customers. The standard estimate is that each client has 4.7 users and the most obvious example is that a company is considered a single client, but ultimately has several dozens of users (employees). Chau
Dial-up
One of the trends that characterized the Internet market this year in Argentina was the retraction of the dial-up accounts (via telephone), which loses customers at the hands of connections broadband. So accounts dial-up customers are located in
530,000-a 54% drop in late 2006 - while the broad band are 2.6 million, sustained growth.
