  • The value of networking to tourism is now widely recognized, but given the industry's constant day to day, operational & time demands, its virtues as a development and growth strategy can easily be overlooked
  • Networking has already proved to be an essential tool for 'not for profit' tourism attractions, but even this industry sector could benefit from the extra opportunities opened up by e.g. 'wildcard networking' initiatives (explained below) or more strategic and finely targeted networking programs pursuing clearly defined corporate goals. Investigating the value of 'staff networks' is a further option

Social networking sites become an invaluable tool for the international marketing of hotels.

    I pretty believe that social medias are playing an important role in marketing of hotels, such as facebook. But something I have to say that facebook can not been accessed all over the world.

    The article provides on outline on what a local area network is by definition. Although written in 2013 I think this article provides information that remains relevant today in 2018. The article provides a definition of local area networks along with a listing of characteristics and functions. I made notations in pink which define local area network and explain its purpose. As noted in the article, LAN refers to a particular region interconnected by multiple computers into computer groups. For example, LAN can be found in your office building, home and even school building. Through LAN there is a local domain server. I know that my office building works on a LAN as both my coworker and I have access to print from our wireless computers to the printer. The main purpose off LAN as noted in the article is to provide resource sharing and mutual communication. As a result of this purpose LAN services as the sharing of resources, data transfer, improving reliability and a form to easy distributor processing. LAN has many different characteristics. It is the job of all of the noted characteristics to work together to service its main purpose. Some of the noted characteristics to remember include its ability to run multiple services and ability to support a variety of communication transmission system. LAN is an important part of the hospitality industry.

Cisco Revenue Forecast Disappoints, Hurt by Networking Shift - Bloomberg - 0 views

Cloud Based Networking Shift

shared by rderonville on 21 May 17 - No Cached
  • Chief Executive Officer Chuck Robbins is trying to recast Cisco as a provider of networking services, seeking to reduce its dependence on hardware by offering more software and cloud-based products that provide predictable revenue.
  • Companies are ordering less equipment for installation on their own premises, according to Raymond James & Associates analyst Simo
  • Robbins is working to restore the kind of growth that made Cisco one of the world’s largest companies
  • rderonville on 21 May 17
     
    "Cisco Systems Inc., is the biggest maker of equipment that runs the internet". This article highlights the disappointing revenue that Cisco Systems is facing currently. However, the CEO is pushing to have Cisco's networking services to be more cloud based than hardware based. Because their company is known for its hardware, they are taking a hit revenue wise in their transition to a cloud based system. Companies are buying less hardware and are relying on other alternatives to keep their business running efficiently. I believe that Cisco is identifying with the current trends that are apparent in the IT world. As stated in our discussions, a cloud-based software eliminates the use of bulky hardware, eliminates costs, and allows companies to scale up or down depending on their size. So Cisco can use this information to help develop their cloud system. The businesses see value in switching systems and Cisco is in the business of providing them with what they need. Cisco is being recasted as a networking system so it is taking time for companies to switch their view on Cisco. I believe that Cisco should not deter from this transition and be able to reinvent themselves as a cloud based network. Though their revenue is taking a hit, they should continue for now until they are able to establish themselves.

Dual neural networks can be used by organizations to enable robots to learn new tasks by monitoring and dissecting several behaviors. Robots that use artificial intelligence (AI) are exposed to a wide variety of data, which helps them learn how to distinguish between distinct objects, group related objects together, and recognize new objects that resemble what they have already seen.

The networked technology allows guests to get upgraded seats, help with parking, order food or merchandise from their seats, and even watch replays of a play from multiple angles. They can even connect to one of the many apps that are now available for sport events.

  • Top benefits of cloud computing Cloud computing is a big shift from the traditional way businesses think about IT resources. Here are seven common reasons organizations are turning to cloud computing services: Cost Cloud computing eliminates the capital expense of buying hardware and software and setting up and running on-site datacenters—the racks of servers, the round-the-clock electricity for power and cooling, and the IT experts for managing the infrastructure. It adds up fast. Speed Most cloud computing services are provided self service and on demand, so even vast amounts of computing resources can be provisioned in minutes, typically with just a few mouse clicks, giving businesses a lot of flexibility and taking the pressure off capacity planning. Global scale The benefits of cloud computing services include the ability to scale elastically. In cloud speak, that means delivering the right amount of IT resources—for example, more or less computing power, storage, bandwidth—right when they’re needed, and from the right geographic location. Productivity On-site datacenters typically require a lot of “racking and stacking”—hardware setup, software patching, and other time-consuming IT management chores. Cloud computing removes the need for many of these tasks, so IT teams can spend time on achieving more important business goals. Performance The biggest cloud computing services run on a worldwide network of secure datacenters, which are regularly upgraded to the latest generation of fast and efficient computing hardware. This offers several benefits over a single corporate datacenter, including reduced network latency for applications and greater economies of scale. Reliability Cloud computing makes data backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity easier and less expensive because data can be mirrored at multiple redundant sites on the cloud provider’s network. Security Many cloud providers offer a broad set of policies, technologies, and controls that strengthen your security posture overall, helping protect your data, apps, and infrastructure from potential threats.

Now guests and crew aboard Allure of the Seas will be able to enjoy lightning fast download speeds and performance that is anticipated to also be four times more responsive than existing and planned GEO satellite systems. O3bMaritime will be the only satellite system capable of enabling cruise line guests and crew broadband services on par with onshore telecommunication standards.

    Royal Caribbean and O3b Networks have again signed a multi-year contract. O3b will once again be providing "high-speed satellite-delivered broadband service" to the Allure of the Seas. The system used is O3bMaritime and Royal Caribbean was one of the first cruise lines to use this system. This system will be on their two largest ships the Oasis and the Allure based in the Caribbean. It is also the only system that is on par with telecommunication standards on land. Soon O3b will deliver more bandwidth on these two ships than on all other cruise ships in the Caribbean. I personally feel internet access really lacks on many of the cruise lines right now and feel Royal Caribbean is taking a step in the right direction with O3b. My family and I like to cruise a lot and have received very spotty internet access around the globe. In today's world many people still have to check up on work while on vacation or keep in contact with family, it only makes sense for cruise lines to start working on faster internet comparable to on land. I read various cruise line message boards and this is a common complaint about slow internet access or virtually none. In the current economy where all the various lines are in competition against one another, this gives Royal Caribbean a leg up in the competition. Additionally, my understanding the only region where satellite internet is unavailable is off the coast of Japan due to government regulations. This system makes sense to have available one day in more regions.

    I for one am very happy to hear this news. I too have experienced the snail-paced internet "access" on cruise ships. With the high cost per minute and slow speeds, cruisers can't help but feel that they wasted their money. This definitely gives Royal Caribbean an advantage over Carnival, NCL and other large cruise lines. By implementing O3b networks on their two largest and most popular ships, they will reach their target consumer and help spread the word.

  • many hoteliers might be interested to learn that the most common concerns about fiber have been addressed in recent years, making it a viable alternative to copper cabling

  • fiber is actually stronger and more flexible to work with than copper
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • consider what his typical guest requires and expects the hotel to provide
  • it makes sense to consider making the change to fiber is if the hotel is considering upgrading its copper cabling, which typically happens every 10 years, during a remodel
  • Hoteliers might remember a time when fiber optic cables were very expensive to install. However, in the past 10 to 15 years, quite a bit of cost shifting has occurred
  • "It wasn't until I could use the terminology and talk about fiber with confidence that the quotes started to align better. If I hadn't spent the time learning about it, I could have spent three times what I did."
  • instead of having to install three separate cables to each hotel room, they only have to install one
  • fiber optic cables tend to last 10 to 15 times longer than copper cables
  • Hotels must know early on anything and everything that will be tied to the network so that the appropriate interoperability testing can occur and issues can be resolved early on.
  • bbguy09 on 27 Feb 17
     
    Many of the concerns that a hotelier might have regarding the upgrade of the physical hardware at the base of their information technology system, their cable network, to fiber optic wiring have been addressed in recent years. Fiber has been around since the 70s, and the cable is stronger and more flexible than copper alternatives. In order to determine whether or not a fiber upgrade is right for a specific property, one should first consider the technological needs of the hotel and be sure that the increased bandwidth and speed are really needed. The hotelier should also consider when the switch will be most cost effective and time efficient. This usually coincides with a hotel remodel. Finally, while the cost /foot of fiber installation has become comparable with that of copper over the years, one should educate himself regarding the terminology and mechanics of a fiber network before shopping installation quotes. A solid understanding of interoperability and terminal needs will keep the costs at a minimum while limiting the need to reinstall cable in the future.
