SME users includefarms, hotels, health surgeries, embassies and even a castle
A recent survey of UK customers by Blink, a leading provider of affordable, wire-free HD home security systems reveals that a high percentage of Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are using smart-tech systems to monitor and protect their properties. We here also use such gadjets and find them very usefull and easy to use with little or no tech know how to set such equiment up we can see why these systems are becoming popular.. See our BLINK REVIEW
95 SMEs survey respondents use Blink camera systems to monitor their businesses. This is evidence of an emerging trend of SMEs who are shunning traditionally more expensive and complex business property security measures such as hard-wired, monitored CCTV systems, alarm systems and manned security patrols.
All types of SMEs turning to smart-tech security solutions
The highest proportion of SME respondents (30%) described themselves as “small tech businesses”, followed by “small offices” (17%) and “retail outlets” (12%). SMEs who listed their organisation types as “other” (28%) disclosed what type of business they operate, the range includes: embassies, farms, doctor and dental surgeries, storage facilities, children’s nurseries, hotels, construction sites, landlords, catteries, elderly care homes, police dog kennels and even a castle, all of which are using Blink systems to help secure their business properties.
The average size of the organisation is typically 1 to 5 employees (45%) followed by sole proprietors (28%) and SMEs who have more than 10 employees (20%).
Remote surveillance rated primary reason for purchase
SME respondents rated “keeping an eye on the business while I’m not there” (73%) as the primary reason for having a Blink system at their organisation, followed in second place by “protecting my property from burglary and vandalism” (41%).
Dave Coles, Information Manager, Severndroog Castle elaborated on the use of the Blink technology at the castle: “We rely on technology to underpin and augment the work of our mainly volunteer staff. Our Blink cameras are helping us monitor footfall and provide out of hours security.”
David Laubner, Head of Digital Marketing and eCommerce for Blink, comments: “The benefit to small business owners of using Blink cameras to protect their properties is that they are alerted immediately to any unusual activity via their smartphone. Using Blink in isolation or with other security measures gives SMEs owners peace of mind.
Cloud CIX the largest commercial data centre outside Dublin, has announced ambitious plans to expand its capabilities by 500%, which will be a game changer for the Cork and Munster region.
The development, located in Hollyhill, will be completed in April 2018 – to coincide with Cloud CIX’s tenth anniversary – and will nearly double the footprint of the site to 32,000 square feet. More significantly this extension allows CIX to extend capability from 500kW to 3 MW, making it a significant facility by international standards. The technical specification for the new build is one of the best in the world, allowing clients achieve both high power density and low and industry leading energy efficiency.
Cloud CIX is the EU data centre with the lowest latency (the transit time for a message to reach its destination) to North America, and the Irish data centre with the lowest latency to London, which arguably makes it the best single data centre in the world from which to serve digital assets. This will provide Cork and the Munster region with a competitive advantage for many sectors including Financial Services.
This €6million investment with an expected follow-on investment of a further €6million in IT infrastructure, is the second major expansion since Cloud CIX was established in 2008, and follows the opening of a second data hall in 2014.
With ISO27001:2013 and ISO 9001:20015 registration, Cloud CIX more than 150 small and large clients including Dell EMC, Masterlink Logistics, Bon Secours Hospital Group, Populo, Viatel, and the PM Group. It continues to enjoy rapid growth due to the expanding service offering and the superb connectivity, low latency and a highly resilient network, which are now essential for modern businesses. With the new expansion plans not only will Cloud CIX have enhanced capacity but its team will be able to provide a one stop shop, full suite of turnkey IT services for clients.
Commenting on the expansion, CEO and owner, Jerry Sweeney said
“Since opening the business in 2008, we have seen an amazing increase in the sophistication our customers’ demands from us. Initially we were focused on networking, power and cooling but soon our customers needed managed services. Cyber Security and Cloud Services are the challenges today. At Cloud CIX we anticipate the demands of the marketplace and we continue to invest and deliver capability to match these demands”.
This significant development is big news for Cork and beyond, as it further strengthens the region as an IT power centre, helping to attract even more businesses in the sector to locate here. Jerry Sweeney has also adopted a policy of ‘shopping local’ and has worked with Cork based companies and suppliers wherever possible in the expansion process.
Speaking about Cork, Jerry added
“I really believe Cork has the potential to be a major connectivity centre similar to Marseilles. With twelve major subsea cables, Marseilles connects Europe to Africa across the Mediterranean and via the Suez Canal to the Far East. Cork should focus on becoming a switching centre with connections to North and South America, mainland Europe, and the Far East via the Arctic. With Cork’s existing renewables focused power infrastructure and ever improving subsea connectivity, Cork will attract more data centre business. Cloud CIX continues to lead the way on this path for the region.”
CEO of Cork Chamber of Commerce, Conor Healy said
“We warmly welcome this announcement as we see the enhanced and expanded facility as being a huge asset to the region. Superb online connectivity is an essential ingredient for all businesses today and Cloud CIX have played a significant role in delivering this to the region. The enhanced offering will make the region even more attractive and we will use this as a key selling point when marketing the region to businesses who looking to open new locations”

Tablets are popular and actually beginning to get good and can in some cases replace laptops,this is of course due to the user and their needs and the tides have turned for laptops with and people opting for a bigger tablet instead. I have a few tablets myself and of course my big phones which in most cases keep me away from my laptop.. So like phones we have specs and prices to consider with the iPad being continually been pushed and touted the best there is BUT there is other options and remember how locked down iOS is so it’s not for all and Android tablets out there today are just as good and of course we have Surface which again like what Apple offer overpriced in my book.
I like to use a tablet for either travel or just lazing about the house and this tablet with keyboard is something you will love or hate depending on your needs, If you are power user move along now Im going to get that bit out of the way there is just no point in considering this but as the saying goes you get what you pay for and this is true to form here even though you get a keyboard with it which by the way is a good move rather than like others charge an additional hefty fee like Apple or Microsoft would do just to mention AGAIN…
UNBOXING THE SATURN 10 Pro
This tablet would be ideal for those just browsing at home or using social media it’s by no means a workhorse but then again its the price you pay. If you have kids it’s also ideal this is built like a tank to be fair and it has a bit of weight to it too which can be forgiven but kids will manage just fine.
If you are watching media or Netflix for example it would suffice provided you have strong internet so I cant fully state the constant buffering issues I suffered because my internet is woeful its an ongoing issue i am trying to get sorted. Though this proved an issue once again casting from this table to my TV which even this had severe lagging issues but I can’t entirely blame the tablet..
Where i did notice lag was just doing general tasks even typing,the words would finally catch up with my inputs on-screen which was annoying but it was not a constant issue and again depending how many tabs I had open which is on average 8 to 10 which would be things I would use like social media and email.
The keyboard is actually nice to work on albeit some things moved about but I got over it quickly enough and was able to type like a boss after some use on comparison to my person laptop or desktops here at home. The trackpad was a bit on the slow side even after changing the sensitivity settings and no right-click or longpress like you would find on your standard layout but there is of course other ways to do this which again takes time to become custom to and enjoy the same workflow and speed on your current home set up but overall time heals all shortcomings here.. In some cases found negative repsonses to clicking and found myself using the screen to overcome some of these shortcomings which worked all the time…
The camera and video
OK its dreadful… Yes but for me its not a problem because I am not one of these who like to carry my tablet in the street like a tourist and wave it in the air taking pictures and videos. However this is now becoming a trend you will always see people with their tablets in the air these days and its something to get use to even though it looks ridiculous but that’s how I have always felt about that scenario so don’t take it to heart or personally if you have a tablet in your back you most likely have a phone..
See some samples above along with settings range and judge for yourself.. Again most tablets in fairness fail in this department anyway so its not a dig in itself at the actaul product when you compare to a mobile phone in 2017 and the front facing camera is no better here either with good light comditions you will get a passable photo..
Ports Galore
Its got plenty but nothing comes in the box such as a mini HDMI cable and one highly annoying thing that needs to be wiped out is god dam MAINS PROPRIETRY CHARGING.. You loose your power lead you are done meaning you need to cough up for a new one this is Android albeit and outdated version like….HOWEVER… You can charge via micro USB so all is not lost but it will be a slower process.. One thing which was nice to see was the standard USB port present which can be handy for some folk..
The Screen is not so bright but will suffice again its down to the price but you can enjoy content on it at a satisfactory level. For a 10.1 inch screen there is plenty of estate to get a decent viewing of whatever you might be at be it You Tube or Netflix for example. One annoying thing to note there is no tap to wake or hit key to wake you will need to tap the power key but its not a huge deal but a tad annoying..
The speaker on the rear is “Just OK” I found it very tinny at most levels but overall its fine you have a headphone socket present so this is another option if you dont want to pee off your family or friends with blaring your own prefrences in a room and with headphones the sound is ok actually..
Overall its a tablet you will love or hate and it is unsual for me to have this conclusion and thats how I feel about it Its got many good points and bad ones too but for the price its not a bad buy to be fair but just dont expect to run heavy games or use it for multitasking as it will let you down more often than you think but this is down to whats under the hood ( Spec sheet above) but other than that for the money and if you have kids and just like to browse the web and do social and want something solid this will do the trick and performs quite well at those tasks . What’s an additional bonus here is you get a keyboard with the tablet which comes in cost effectively and not trying to fleece your pockets with an additional purchase like others in the market do.

Ok it’s a hard disc with a difference – Bond style!
Use a pin to access the drive, lose the pin / or loose the hard disc and no one else can get in either. This is overly simplified but add in speed and array of features. What if Computer / network won’t start, lost your laptop, do you have a backup!
This PIN authenticated Hardware Encrypted drive is available in 500Gb, 1TB, 2TB, in a choice of 4 colours. This review is on the Racing Green model. The size is smaller than expected but sturdy with the usb cable attached to the device. This is great in not having to find a cable each time. (the Diskahur2 usb cable is short so the Diskahur2 must be placed close to the laptop etc.) The unit comes with a strong protective case.
The diskAshur2 is an ultra-secure, PIN authenticated, portable USB 3.1 hard drive with real-time AES 256-bit XTS hardware encryption. This used USB 3.1 giving very fast speeds. The diskAshur2 has a keyboard attached allowing you to enter a unique 7-15-digit PIN. The operating systems including all versions of MS Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Chrome, Thin Clients, Zero Clients and embedded systems.
Compatible with:
PC, Mac, Laptop, Printer, CCTV, Medical, Citrix Ready, Smart Phone, Chromebook, Tablet
Features
➢ USB 3.1 Portable Encrypted Hard Drive
➢ Capacities up to 2TB*
➢ FIPS PUB 197 validated
➢ AES 256-bit XTS hardware encryption – no software required
➢ OS & Platform independent
➢ Employs EDGE* Technology
➢ Available in 4 colours-Phantom Black, Ocean Blue, Fiery Red & Racing Green
This is quite clever, Wear Resistant Epoxy Coated Keypad which is designed so that (as always happens in the movies) the bad guy sees the most worn digits and guesses the combination, this keypad is design not to fade giving an idea of the common digit used in your password.
Super-fast USB 3.1
This has super-fast USB 3.1 data transfer speeds of 148 MBps (Read) and 140 MBps (Write). If your system is an older device the iStorage diskAshur2 is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports.
Unattended Auto-Lock Feature
If you set the unattended diskAshur2 to automatically lock after a pre-determined amount of time this will lock requiring the pin to be re-entered preventing any one access to your drive if you pop out for a coffee.
Self-Destruct Feature
Another cool Bond style feature, you can pre-program the diskAshur2 with your own unique Self Destruct PIN which, once implemented, instantly deletes the encryption key, all PINs, data and then creates a new encryption key.
One of the unique and underlying security features of the GDPR compliant diskAshur2 is the dedicated hardware based secure microprocessor (Common Criteria EAL4+ ready), which employs built-in physical protection mechanisms designed to defend against external tamper, bypass attacks and more. Unlike other solutions, the diskAshur2reacts to an automated attack by entering the deadlock frozen state, which renders all such attacks as useless. In plain and simple terms, without the PIN there’s no way in!
Unlike other solutions, the diskAshur2 reacts to an automated attack by entering the deadlock frozen state, which renders all such attacks as useless. In plain and simple terms, without the PIN there’s no way in! General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation by which theEuropean Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission intend to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the European Union Those of you in the IT industry / compliance will probably know this already, but if not how does this sound!
I am unsure with Brexit if this is still the case but currently, In the UK, under the existing data protection act (DPA), the fines are around £500,000 which may become like GDPR. Any company that works with information relating to EU citizens will have to comply, making it the first global data protection law. Did I mention One of the unique and underlying security features of the diskAshur2 is that it is GDPR compliant diskAshur2
Warranty:
iStorage operates a 36-month return to base warranty on all Flash based products (i.e. datAshur), and a 24-month return to base warranty on all HDD/SSD based products (i.e. diskG, diskAshur, diskAshur DT).
I don’t think this is a product that will purchased due to the colours, but rather for business to insure they comply with some legal requirements, the choice is not whether to get an Encrypted Portable Drives rather which one to get in terms of size and features. It may be worth considering current budgets to decide does every sales person on the road need one, every HR person that takes home staff details and the list continues. This may be like the phrase “Nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM” to the diskAshur2. On the colours note if you are like me I do like options than the default that is typical and everyone having the same thing, This for me is an added bonus to have something different even be it colour than everyone else..This is evident for those that know me for my bright flashy mobile phone collection where the standard colour is simply not good enough..
There is still a bit of hype about the Nokia 3310 however there is several other models which are soon to land on our shores, Thankfully there is no fake versions of the 3,5 and 6 to be seen yet we still need to be careful. Also to note the Nokia 6 can be purchased from some online sites right now outside the UK but you need to be careful on what you get and it has the Play Store installed but with Android there is many ways around this.
Nokia are to come back into the game this year with multiple models but their launch plans have followed suit of old and dates being pushed back this is not boding well for users waiting to get a new phone with the NOKIA logo atop. Also with other devices launching next month it will become a very picky market for people to decide on what their next smartphone will be regardless the cost but for entry level and mid tier which the 3,5 and 6 will cover there is already ample choice and with more devices coming soon it will leave people who are fed up just spending their hard earned cash on other models..
Vodafone will be selling the Nokia 3 and are the first to shed light on the device whilst the other operators remain silent but we expect that to change pretty soon, The price comfirmed by their latest mazagine which I picked up today in the city has the Nokia 3 pencilled in at €149 which is a fair price. The device can be bought though sim free but you will pay way over the odds and of course you have the early adopter rush which wont stop some folk paying more now rather than waiting.
Vodafone have said to keep an eye out early August for the Nokia 3 so if this is for you stay tuned for more when we get it from the Irish end of things. Pricing will most likely vary per network but this is what you can expect to pay or therabouts when it launches in stores soon, Sim Free prices of course are much higher but Sim Free phones are best overall and does not leave you tied to lenghty contract unless you buy it outright if it suits. At this price though we would expect to see it free on all billpay plans..
If you cant wait you can pick it up from John Lewis or Clove whom are reputable sellers and we have used them both in the past..
