Well, I hope everyone who has ever thought about purchasing a Maxtor External Hard Drive from Seagate, seriously rethinks the idea, because mine no longer works. And to make matters worse, I called their data recovery center and I got a prerecorded message saying that everyone was in a staff meeting. Bull crap!

I opened the thing, which of course voids the warranty to see if I could jerry-rig it and get it to work, but to no avail. I think the thing I’m going to miss the most is the literally thousands of pictures I lost So, if you’re thinking about getting a Maxtor External Hard Drive, don’t!

Data Multicasting: A VERY Brief Overview

I’ve been reading some techie docs lately on the power of data multicasting. Yes, I know it sounds incredibly boring, but it’s a valuable asset to have in the digital signage industry. In fact, there are only a handful of companies within digital signage that currently specialize in data multicast technology. To remain competitive, some will require adaptation and continuous engineering going forward. Many customers are asking for it, hence the education.

What is Data Multicasting?

Multicasting involves a one-to-many or many-to-many relationship and allows for increases in efficiency in use of network resources when it comes to packet distribution. Multicasting can use the following protocols: MOSPF, CBT, IGMP, PIM-DM, PIM-SM, and BGMP.

Multicasting can be used in the following applications:

Network Configuration
Content Distribution
Shared Apps:
Information Distribution
Multipoint Distribution: which includes, but is not limited to anycasting, unitcasting, and broadcasting.
