Mau tanya tentang Mesin Scanner Cepat

 
3-4 tahun lalu, saya pernah ikut seminar ttg document management yg diselenggarakan canon.
untuk entry levelnya, sekitar 25 jt kl gak salah. Kurang tahu, masih ada gak yg sekarang..
 
Coba cari keyword 'document management' untuk hal ini.
Saya kurang tahu, apakah mesin scanner cepat ini akan di pergunakan sbg hardware dari document management yg saya pikirkan. cmiiw...
 
Yg saya pernah tahu, HP ada line khusus utk document management.
 
Trus coba canon, dgn imageware nya.
 
kl document management,  malah setahu saya ukurannya spt mesin printer kantoran. Kecil, tp kecepatan scanningnya bs sampe 20-30 sheet per minutenya. 
Tp disini yg penting solusi softwarenya yg terintegrated. Untuk berbagi pakai dgn para user2 lain di tingkat network/corporate.
 
Semoga membantu..
 
Salam,

Above the Rest: Windows 2008's Terminal Services Client
One shining gem you can't ignore in the new Windows Server 2008 OS --
one which might compel you to upgrade -- is the implementation of
Terminal Services.

December 2007 * by Greg Shields

Windows Server 2008 is coming. By year's end this update to our core
Server operating system should be ready for deployment. As a function of
the five-year delay between this and our last server OS, Microsoft has
had plenty of time to work on a host of new feature sets. But, there is
one in particular that rises above the rest and has the potential for
driving the most immediate desire to upgrade: Terminal Services.

But before we start talking about what's new and exciting in the
server-side of Terminal Services, we need to spend a little talk talking
about its client and the new functionality already available within. The
new Remote Desktop Client version 6.0 actually isn't all that new,
having been released with Windows Vista. But, there are a few features
of RDC 6.0 you may not be aware of.

-- advertisement --

New Client = New Features
Other than the obvious facelift to its graphical interface, RDC has
gotten quite a bit more useful. In the previous version, the ActiveX and
full-client instances were two separate tools with two separate
installations. Now with RDC 6.0, these two functionalities have been
merged. Integrating the web-based client version with the full client
version means administrators no longer need to consider separate
installation and management of two different tools. The integration of
these two tool sets means that.RDP files on file shares as well as
web-based hosting of published desktops and applications are now
supported from the same client installation.

RDC also sports a host of new improvements in the types of devices it
can bring from the remote server to the local client. Some of those
improvements include:

* Maximum screen resolution increase to 4096x2048
* Maximum color depth increase to 32-bit color
* Support for ClearType fonts (called "font smoothing")
* Support for connected USB and other peripheral devices
* Support for Single Sign-On
* Support for spanning multiple horizontally-connected monitors
using the "/span" switch
* Enhanced security using Network Location Awareness (we'll discuss
this further in the next post)
* Ability to use client-side themes in remoted sessions
* SSL-based security using TS Gateway (we'll also talk about this in
a later post)

Each of these new visual and security-based improvements makes RDC 6.0 a
compelling upgrade, even before Server 2008 makes its debut.

Reversing Bad Security
From a security perspective, the original RDC's design was actually
backwards from what is considered good security.

Think about how you connect to a pre-W2008 Terminal Server. You enter
the name of the server and a connection is initiated to its logon
screen. Then, once you hit that logon screen you begin the process to
authenticate. From a security perspective, this isn't a good idea. By
doing it in this manner, you're actually accessing a server prior to
authenticating to it. This is the reverse of how nearly all other
network services provide authentication security.

NLA, or Network Level Authentication with RDC 6.0, reverses the order in
which a client attempts to connect. If you've used the new client,
you've probably noticed how it asks for your username and password
before it takes you to the logon screen. If you're attempting to connect
to a pre-W2008 server, a failure in that initial logon will fail back to
the old login process. But where this new feature shines is when
connecting to Windows Vista and W2008 servers with NLA configured. Here,
that failback authentication can be prevented from ever occurring. This
prevents the bad guys from gaining console access to your server without
a successful authentication.

You can set up Network Level Authentication in Vista and W2008 by right
clicking on Computer and choosing Properties, then selecting Remote
Settings. Under Remote Desktop, ensure Allow connections only from
computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (more
secure).

Accessing the Console
Every previous version of Terminal Server -- and indeed every previous
version of Windows -- reserved "Session ID 0" as the connection used
when the user is directly on the console of the machine. Reserving this
session in this way was easy for software installations that pushed
error messages to the console session. But it also added the potential
for misuse as a vector for exploit. In W2008, "Session ID 0" is no
longer a session that can be used by normal users. Instead, it is the
session where system services reside. By limiting session connections in
this way, the security profile of the Terminal Server is enhanced.

What is different, though, about making this change is that what
administrators used to think of as the "console session" can now be tied
to any session ID number. The command

mstsc.exe {servername} /console

can be used to connect the user to session ID 0 for those older O/S
versions. Using the same switch with Vista and W2008, RDC 6.0 will now
automatically connect to the correct console session.

Where this comes in particularly handy is when servers run out of
licenses. Using RDC to connect to the console session doesn't consume a
TS CAL. So, in addition to being able to install software through
terminal services directly on the console, you can also use this feature
to remotely troubleshoot a Terminal Server that has stopped accepting
new connections.

Because of how this change in connections to Session ID 0 has been done,
there is one major difference between how W2003 and W2008 handle the
acceptance of incoming connections: You get one fewer concurrent
connection.

W2008 supports a total of two rather than three concurrent connections
in Remote Administration mode. With W2003, a server would support two
TermServ connections in addition to the console connection. With W2008,
a server will only accept two concurrent connections, no matter if
they're at the console or via TermServices.

This seems like bad news at first blush, but there's a bit of good news
to go with it. With W2008 the third user who attempts to connect now
gets an opportunity to kick off another user. Once the third user
connects, they'll be asked if they want to disconnect one of the other
users instead of our old error message, "The terminal server has
exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections."

All of these features are currently supported with the new RDC, which
comes native with Vista. But for those of us with XP SP2 clients on the
network, a free download from Microsoft is available that will allow you
can take advantage of these feature upgrades as well. Download the
upgrade to RDC 6.0 here.

Office 2007 SP1 Surprise -- OS/2: Dead OS Walking

Office 2007 emang banyak bug nya.
Masih sering crash kata temen2..
Untung SP1 nya udah di keluarin.
Sharing yaa... Masih banyak errornya gak ?


Gue baru tau kl OS2 nya IBM itu udah discontinue alias udah di stop
sejak desember 2006
:)


SURPRISE! OFFICE 2007 SP1 ARRIVES EARLY
In a welcome change, Microsoft actually delivered earlier than
expected the first service pack (SP1) for the 2007 Office System.
http://redmondmag.com/news/article.asp?editorialsid=9331

SP1's improvements, which were in direct response to customer
complaints, concentrated on performance, stability and security
across desktop applications and servers. Some of the improvements
include support for deploying AJAX so developers can better create
customized Web parts for users; better management capabilities so IT
admins can better consolidate or repartition site collections across
SharePoint databases; performance improvements to Outlook 2007,
particularly in working with PST/OST files; and feature improvements
in performance and stability in working with Project 2007 and
Project Server 2007.

"We think SP1 provides the stability and performance improvements
that key in on customers' productivity concerns, and beefs up
security precautions in order to stay ahead of the latest threats
from malicious software and other risks," said Reed Shaffner,
Microsoft's Office product manager. "Crashes are one of the most
frustrating experiences customers have, and the team worked hard
with SP1 to make our products more stable."

More information about the improvements contained in SP1 can be
found here:

DEAD OS WALKING
While IBM officially discontinued support of its long-suffering OS/2
operating systems in December 2006 (I know that to many, it seems
like it's been years), there are still those zealots out there who
keep trying to open its crypt.

The latest attempt comes from OS2World.com, a seven-year-old site
founded by Kim Haverblad, that serves as a source for the latest
news about OS/2, along with a number of technical forums where IT
pros, third-party developers and other longtime loyalists can
exchange information and ideas about the product. Haverblad and
friends petitioned IBM last month again (the first time was in 2005)
to make the "much-loved OS/2 technology" freely available by taking
it open source.

http://www.os2world.com/petition

The group acknowledges that there are inherent problems with IBM
doing this because of the third-party code still stitched in the
product. But, to that end, the group says it's willing to "contribute
its own efforts" if it will convince IBM to release the code. The
petition goes on to say that making OS/2 open source would prove
beneficial to Big Blue's larger customers. Another more subjective
reason for making the decision is "that OS/2 is an important part
of the history of the operating system and, furthermore, it still
contains values that the computer science field considers unique."
Hmm, OK. Well, there's a lot of room for debate on that one.

There have been many attempts by different groups over the years to
bring OS/2 back to life: large corporations -- most notably banks --
that are heavily invested in the product, hardcore user groups, and
vocal and influential individuals. None of these grassroots lobbying
efforts got very far, though.

OS/2 was certainly an admirable undertaking in its day, racking up
more than a few technology firsts for a 32-bit desktop operating
system. But it was too chunky to run well on the vast majority of
desktop systems back then, and was poorly positioned as a product.
(It should've been positioned as a high-end workstation OS, and not
as a direct competitor to Windows. Remember the "Better Windows
than Windows" campaign?)

But looking at all the time and money spent on getting Windows Vista
to market -- and all the criticisms leveled at it from every quarter
in its first year of availability -- it makes you wonder what sort
of product OS/2 would be today if IBM and Microsoft had worked
cooperatively on it over the past 17 years. I have to believe that
the state-of-the-art in desktop operating systems would be much more
evolved today than what we see in Vista.

It's way too late for OS/2 to make any sort of real comeback now,
but by making the product available to the open source community,
there's no telling what ideas and projects could spring up, resulting
in inexpensive but practical solutions for at least some IT shops.
Given IBM's already substantial contributions to the open source
community, maybe it should give the folks at OS2World.com a call
and see what sort of arrangements can be worked out. And if anyone
out there can show me where I can either download a copy of the latest
version or how I can get my hands on a CD, let me know at
escannell@redmondmag.com. Even though I haven't written a story on
OS/2 since May 2000, I'm curious to see what sort of laps it can
still run.
