Thanks, and look forward to seeing you at the event!

Still reeling from the after-effects of the Web 2.0 Expo, we have just come back to India with a great euphoria in our hearts and minds. The Expo was brilliant, and not just in meeting clients, but also for the great sessions conducted by some of the most brilliant business strategists and tech-wizards that we have seen.

We had a great time at our booth too there. Our booth attracted hundreds of prospective clients, and many of our existing customers came visiting. We are really glad to have met you and talk business with you. Here are some of the snaps we took at the Expo:

We had great fun there. And we cannot wait to go back to the Web 2.0 Expo again. Who knows, maybe the next time, the world has progressed enough for it to be a Web 3.0 Expo!

On that exciting thought, have a Happy Easters and a great summer!!!

We have canvassed our exhibition at the Expo a lot, and we have heard back from so many of you saying that you want to meet us! Good to hear back, and we look forward to meeting you at San Francisco as well! We are meeting up with many of our existing clients and partners located in the Bay Area, and we look forward to meeting you as well. It should be a good opportunity for us to know more about each other’s business and work.

Our tag line is “apps for everything”, and that is what we do – create apps for everything. We are also in the line of creating products and providing solutions for our clients and partners, and we are exhibiting these at the Web 2.0 Expo as well this time.

So if you are around in SF at that time, drop in at Booth #828 and we would love to chat with you and talk about business and other matters as well. And while you are at it, you could drop in your business card, and stand a chance to win a free iPad 2.

Yes, you heard it right! As a small, but enjoyable part of our extensive campaign, we are looking to give all the visitors at our booth a chance to win a free iPad 2. We believe in spreading the love, and what better way than this!

Come, meet us, and you could walk away with an Apple iPad 2 in your kitty. Life surely does not get more tempting than this.

First up was the booth designing and backdrop preparations. We talked to many companies who are into this business of setting up booths with all their fancy equipment, and finalized on something we thought was very Web 2.0ish. No sneak peeks at the design yet though! You’ll have to come meet us as Booth #828 to find out.

Next up, we worked on getting an email newsletter out to our contacts this week. Apart from the above, we also are going through a whirlpool of other seemingly myriad, but actually Herculean tasks that we need to complete in order to be fully geared up for our Expo visit.

In the mean, I’m sure you would love to know what we would be showcasing at the Expo. We have been into a lot of web designing and development over the last 10 years that we have been in business, and have now entered the more product development side of things. We have done wonders with Web 2.0 solutions that we have provided and are putting these up for you to have a look at along with our desktop application work that we have done. We also are showcasing our mobile (iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry) application development work that we have done.

Your opinions, suggestions, thoughts and criticisms are all welcome, as we continue to grow as an organization. 10 years is a long time in the IT world, but we feel like it has passed us by in a blink of an eye.

So, that’s about it from us for now. I’ll keep you posted on what we do further to improve our experience there in San Francisco, California. We’ll also be Tweeting a lot. Hope to meet you at the Web 2.0 Expo.

What is a blade server? Blade servers manage power, storage, connectivity and maintenance using an outer housing or chassis which accepts between 6-16 blades. This chassis is an assortment of specialized motherboard units (blades) with each unit functioning as a computer containing vital processing and storage elements. All blades do not have to be for computing; they could provide connectivity, storage, system management etc…

How does adoption of blade server technology help businesses? As companies look to improve their capability to handle (process and storage) data or replace aging infrastructures, many turn to blade server technology for better computing power, to save space by cable reduction, increase density and decrease power consumption, while lowering total cost of operation and improving infrastructure flexibility.

The blade server model promotes thin-client computing, where users can log on to their computer from remote terminals. If the workplace’s network is accessible over the Internet, perhaps through a VPN (Virtual Private Network), then the worker can access their PC from anywhere they have access to a client computer and the Web.

Blade servers score over other types of server technologies in checking redundancy, hot swapping [ability to add, remove and replace units without having to power-off the chassis], reduction in cable requirements and other aspects including power and size requirements. Although there is a substantial initial hardware investment compared to other server technologies, but in long term it brings economy of scale.

There may be some limited storage on a blade server. With the use of a SAN (Storage Area Network) the chassis and blades can be completely free of storage, removing the inherent heat, noise, and reliability problems from the system completely. Everything from booting to data storage can be done over the SAN, enabling the blade servers to be focussed entirely on processing.

As part of this program, our staff has volunteered their time to work with the Seattle based nonprofit SeeYourImpact. SeeYourImpact’s mission is to transform giving into a joyful and fulfilling experience for all donors by enabling charitable organizations to show the connection of each donor’s gift to the actual end beneficiary in an authentic and transparent manner.

SeeYourImpact focuses on high quality projects in health care, clean water and education across Asia, Africa and Latin America that allow donors to create dramatic life change with a contribution of as little as $10!  Donate to one of our two favorite projects: The Restoring Force, which distributes solar lanterns to families living in Central India and Padma Industrial School, which provides free vocational training for the children of farm hands in south India!
