"...In recent months, allegations of agents copying pornography, music and alluring photos from customers' computers have circulated on the Internet. Some bloggers now call it the "Peek Squad."Any attractive young woman who drops off her computer with the Geek Squad should assume that her photos will be looked at," said Brett Haddock, a former Geek Squad technician."

Test center analyst Victor Loh writes: "Now, vendors including Compellent, EMC and Hewlett-Packard are simplifying buying decisions for IT managers by packaging [NAS, SAN, iSCSI and data protection products] together or offering them as add-ons as part of a unified product line. ...Smaller organizations [less than 250 employees] moving from DAS (direct-attached storage) to networked storage can now often do so without any specialized storage expertise." How much storage should an organization have before hiring a full-time data storage admin?
