Sendio 100% Email Anti-spam Solution in Nigeria – BCX Networks

Sendio ESP is what I call the “Spammer’s Nightmare!”.  The stingy anti-spam solution is very easy to deploy and works on a simple subscription-based Sender Address Verification / Silverlisting technology. Many Anti Spam vendors claim they can eliminate 99% of spam and false-positives. What happens to the 1%? You simply lose business because legitimate business mails are wrongly classified as spam and you do not get to see them. Well before I begin to tell you the many good things that Sendio does, I need to tell you the truth from a Sendio Partner’s point of view: If a genuine email sender sends a business mail at 4:59pm on Friday to a receiver, for the first time, using Sendio ESP at the other end, closes his system and rushes home, he will definitely return on monday morning to find the Sender Address Verification (SAV) message instead of a reply! This means the receiver has probably not seen the message. The message resides in the receiver’s Sendio box until the sender verifies that he is indeed human, only then can the mail be pushed to the receiver. This ensures that the mail was not sent in error and also proves that the sender is not a spammer. Sweet and sour, right? Not exactly.

The SAV is pretty easy to deal with. If a spammer sends an email address with a masked address, e.g. GeNS@gtbplc.com asking you to validate your ATM Debit Card and populates the body of the mail with phishing sites, Sendio says, no problem, and sends the SAV back to the originating email address (not the reply to email address which is usually different). The SAV message goes to GTB of course, and not the spammer! All the sender needs do is click reply, the validation string is a random one and needs not be typed, click send and your mail is delivered to the intendend recipient. Sendio only deals with the to and from string, does not parse the body (contents) of the mail in order to save time and bandwidth.

If a sender is not on your safe senders list, they must explain who they are to the Sendio Interface before hitting your exchange server. This should prevent the so-called ‘Artificial Intelligent’ anti-spam from guessing wrong or right after screening the contents of your email (extra latency). If you are looking for an anti-spam solution that really works 100% for 25 to 10,000 + users, then you have come to the right place.

Deployment is slim easy, you can have a Sendio Box installed with user licenses just before your exchange server in your server room/data center or go green by using Sendio HaaS/SaaS in the cloud where your mail hosts direct your mails to a hosted Sendio Service and back to your mail server. If you are not okay with configuration headaches and integration backlashes, then Sendio is your saviour. Access Bank Plc and Bank PHB, both top Nigerian Banks use Sendio and can testify to seeing little or no spam and better Network Admin utilization compared to any other Email Security Solution out there.

MTN Launches Cisco Telepresence in Lagos Abuja Port Harcourt – BCX Networks

Cisco Telepresence finally live in 3 states in Nigeria, by MTN

Karl Toriola must surely be proud of his time as CTO of MTN Nigeria. Nigeria’s number 1 Telecommunications company MTN, are the first to launch a 21st Century conferencing solution, Cisco’s flagship Telepresence (often marketed by Cisco’s CEO, John Chambers). Telepresence enables people in different locations to appear to be in the same board room. The users adjascent to the screen has no idea how far the others are as images are clear, sound is real and emotions and gestures can be seen like in real life meetings.

 Telepresence is NOT exactly videoconferencing but employs the underlying technology, these two terms should therefore not be “inter-changed”. Telepresence, the most advanced visual conferencing solution to date, is very expensive (costs millions of dollars) to set up and requires huge pipes of bandwidth with low latency (preferably fibre). Very few companies can afford to implement Telepresence in different locations, it is therefore wise for Service Providers with Fibre (IP/MPLS rings) backbone to implement and lease to users (See AT & T Cisco Telepresence video below)

TelePresence Benefits

» Reduce travel related costs
» Recover time spent travelling to and from meetings
» Eliminate security risk associated with travelling
» Increase productivity as time spent travelling can be channelled to more productive use.
» Make important decisions faster
» Hold important project meetings, negotiations, executive interviews etc can be held as often as necessary eliminating the constrains of travel

MTN Nigeria Telepresence Sessions cost 60,000 naira per hour and seats a maximum of 6 individuals (2 minimum) per location (I guess that amounts to 10,000 naira per head). I mean you ship 6 men down to the hotel in Lagos and ask your business partners to arrive at the Abuja and PH venues 15 minutes before “kick-off” time, having paid 24 hours before, they set your meeting up and off you go. They give you 2 extra hours if your meeting lasts beyond 4 hours but I don’t see why anyone would sit at a virtually real boardroom for 6 hours!

Hey before you start cursing and fuming over reduction in per-diem, travel allowance, hotel back-runs etc, remember that Telepresence will keep you close to your family, reduce the risk of travelling, increase productivity, save you time and set up more impromptu meetings. You can even interview top prospects (including a new football coach) – HR Managers, take note. Kudos to MTN for taking the big risk as usual to be the first to deploy a solution that will make Nigerians proud.

Introduction (case study: iLab)

It is inevitable in modern day ICT projects that initial plans will fail and in such cases, the best option is to have a backup plan with minimal effect on the overall budget. Sometimes the entire project can be screwed up due to unforeseen circumstances or inadequate planning and if there is no backup plan the failed project becomes another black hole to the company. Many well-meaning companies have tried in vain to give back to the communities by going the ICT way, providing Internet labs, libraries or centers for schools, higher institutions and rural communities. These deployments are often greeted with user enthusiasm and media publicity but in less than a year after commissioning a huge project, the site is often left in a sorry state. Why are these solutions short-lived and unsuccessful in the long run? The question is rhetorical as the answers stare right at one in the face:
1. Vandalism
2. Corruption
3. Use of sub-standard materials and devices
4. Inadequate planning
5. Lack of Support and Continuity (Management)
6. Inadequate Power and Technical resource
7. Inadequate training and education of end-users and operators
8. Lack of core ICT materials and values
9. Politics
I shall discuss each briefly and proffer solutions accordingly.

Vandalism: At a time when companies are trying to cut costs and justify every financial implication, it is hard to concede investment in ICT to vandalism but this is the leading cause of failed ICT projects in Africa (Nigeria inclusive). A well meaning company tries to build a 100-seater ICT laboratory for a federal university with burglary proof e.t.c., networks the building and sets up a server room; flat screen monitors, UPSes, speakers and other computer accessories, branded and ready for commissioning. The MD/CEO shows up few days later and commissions the project, the papers and TV spread it to all and sundry and an idle mind sits somewhere thinking of how to break in and steal the devices, if possible. The week following the commissioning, vandals either break in through the windows, doors, and roof or seize the guards and empty the Lab or just some expensive devices and make away with them without any trace. Replacement of missing devices takes a while and in the meantime, others take advantage of the backdoor to loot what is left of the building until the project fails completely leaving the community with a dead ICT lab and the public with false information that a lab exists in the school. Vandalism can only be resisted with anti-theft, vandal-proof ruggedized technology. The building itself must be very secure, vandal-proof, fire-proof, the seats properly glued to the classroom floor, the devices quite far from the window, the devices kept in a ruggedized, unbreakable enclosure. The LCD screens, often the easiest targets must be kept in tight enclosures such that only the display can be seen. Finally, fire, burglar alarms and GPS locators must be installed in the lab. The only thing that can be stolen from a secure lab is oxygen!  You need a bulldozer to stand a chance of getting away with scraps of damaged devices – the best you can get.

Corruption: Due to corruption, some attendants and ICT lab managers have resorted to using the labs for personal gains. They bring family and friends in and sometimes charge other users and fail to remit the money to the designated channel. I witnessed this in some of the sites I visited in Lagos and some northern states. Sometimes, students don’t even have access to the lab at all for reasons best known to the “man in power”. This anomaly can be corrected by using biometrics to authenticate each and every user sessions. This way, outsiders will not be registered by the authorities and students cannot login to the workstations upon expiry of their sessions. This implies that no one person can hold a workstation to ransom, browsing the internet all day while others wait at their mercy; everyone is provided equal access at specific times of the day (or sessions) and the benefit of having a state of the art ICT lab can at least “go round”. This approach was the deciding factor in the Zambian government picking a proprietary emergency ICT lab solution. The same issue faces the use of legacy ICT labs in modern Nigeria today and poses a threat to the development of ICT skills in our schools and communities.

Use of substandard materials and devices: This is obviously no news to us. Contractors are out to milk the well-meaning firms by all means and most of the time, low-quality materials are used in building the facility while cheap ICT components are either substandard or outdated often with no warranty or support. The end result is a faulty keyboard, flickering monitor, burnt CPU, creaking hard disk drive, broken seats, ants-infested tables, cracked ceilings and dead switches. Their short-term solution often outlasts the long-term agenda of the Investing company usually to the anger of the users who immediately form a bad opinion and blame the firm for giving them a “fake lab”. If you prefer an Apple iPod to a nameless Taiwanese mp3 player, you should know that quality outlasts quantity and pick the best, yet secure devices in the market. Not many contractors have good records if you bother to visit their previous installations. It is commonplace to see a 6-month ICT lab with 60% of devices faulty and without replacement. Materials must be vandal-proof, ruggedized and authentic with accompanying seals and warranty. Accept no average products e.g. UPSes and servers with no after-sales support or excellent rating.

Inadequate planning: Sometimes investing firms along with their chosen contractors have good intentions but overlook key factors due to poor planning. It is necessary to do a comprehensive site survey and interview users and operators before rolling out the ICT lab. A rural area without power supply would have to rely on alternative means of power supply, labs should not be situated in dark, insecure places with no illumination at night. Location of the lab must be strategic and not at random due to security reasons to avoid throwing seeds unto rocky soils and thorns.

Lack of Support and Continuity: After-sales support often determines the life of an ICT implementation. You don’t want to be stuck-in-active with a faulty device in the middle of training. Remote or on-site support must be available in order to protect your investment in ICT projects. Continuity plans must also be in place. ICT components are hardly relevant after 3 or 4 years, plans must be in place to upgrade software/hardware or other components of the lab with buy-back options, cheaper upgrade plans and replacement procedure agreed with contractor. Contractors without partnerships with OEMs usually do not do very well to keep this promise.

Inadequate Power: Like vandalism, this is a major issue in Nigeria today. Power is almost non-existent. Plans for alternative means of power supply must be provided. Diesel/petrol – powered generating sets, Solar powered inverters with batteries and wind-generated power plants are options that must be considered for stand-alone implementations especially in rural areas. Unfortunately, most ICT deployments in Nigeria require huge amount of power in order to drive the ICT labs. In a country where power is considerably scarce, the answer is to use energy saving alternatives e.g. thin-client technology, solar powered devices and low voltage specifications. I have, in the past designed a 48-seater ICT lab with two Air Conditioners, printer, giant LCD screen, routers and switches all of which were powered by a 5KVA generator. At a point, the school decided the lab would feed off its giant diesel-powered plant and it so easily did. I was surprised to see some of our local schools having to feed off the local transformer or PHCN pole directly due to the overall power ratings of the lab’s components. I should also mention that alongside cost of internet subscription (which is usually sponsored), power supply is the number one headache for ICT lab managers.

Training of supervisors and users: Commissioning the Lab is half the job done; the second half determines the success of the project in the eyes of the users. If the users are not impressed or do not explore the opportunities presented to them, then the project is just another failure. Supervisors must be trained to use and support all of the technology in the train-the-trainer mode so that they can educate first-time users and if possible impart knowledge based on the software contents of the solution. Unfortunately, most supervisors find it difficult to administer a server and schools have no e-learning software, the labs are more or less like cybercafés (sometimes even free). The supervisor or operator must be trained, practically.

Lack of core ICT materials and values: I sincerely hope other people reason with me that a modern-ICT lab should portray innovation and suspense. Labs now come with e-learning software, biometric authentication for each workstation, headphones and webcams for multimedia, 3G/GPRS enabled routers for use in places where getting internet connectivity will be difficult, secure LCD screen for interactive content and training e.t.c. E-learning Software can be customized to bear the logos and contents specified by the investor. These software can add value to the lab especially when such labs are dedicated to specific topics e.g. Graphics, 3D-modelling, Architecture, Sciences or Accounting. Also, as different people use the same workstations over and over again, viruses (the nightmare of every supervisor/operator) are likely to surface from flash drives, downloaded contents from the internet and external sources and systems are likely to crash. The answer to this is thin-client computing. This is how it works: the robust thin-client server handles all the operations and storage of the individual workstations meaning all documents, and profiles are actually stored on the server, the client only displays the contents to the user at the workstation. What this implies is that if the client crashes for any reason and needs to be replaced, the supervisor does not need to install any software on the replacement unit, upon connecting the client to the server again, all the user profile, programs and files of the faulty unit are transferred in minutes to the new one, minimizing downtime and interruption. Also power consumption is extremely low and management is pretty easy as the instructor controls the display of all the users from his/her central desk to ensure that no one is doing something else while training is going on.

Politics: Unfortunately, I cannot help in this regard. Politics can make a gigantic ICT project appear inconclusive and dead even when it is not. A project can be cancelled half-way even while the structure is being constructed. Also, a powerful person who sees no forthcoming personal monetary gains from the project will do almost anything to bring it to a halt. These things do happen especially when implementation takes quite a while, from 3 months to 2 years. While I cannot really help in this regard, my next and last topic can offer an alternative.

Why do companies consider a secure emergency ICT structure?
• While legacy structures require 3 months to 2 years to set up, a more secure, fully functional emergency structure is up in less than 7 hours.
• You do not need to buy a piece of land, you can lease one and relocate your structure in due time, that gives you more time to plan a more permanent alternative and protect your investment.
• Product Branding is very easy with these secure structures (outdoor advertising license required in some cases)
• Pre-networked, pre-installed thin-client technology saves power, time to deploy and provides for ease of operation and support with little or no need for maintenance
• E-learning software, Biometrics for sessions and giant LCD screens are provided
• In-built Cyber-cafe billing, management and monitoring software
• Anti-theft, Vandal-proof ruggedized (stainless steel) fire-proof technology implemented throughout.
• Evidence of longevity and 99% success rate in southern Africa.

Secure Emergency ICT structures can be deployed for Emergency Contact Centres, ICT labs for schools and communities, fully functional remote branches and secure mobile (temporary) offices. Units can be branded all over, inside and outside with logos, pictures and slogans of the Investor. Thus the Corporate Social Responsibility of the Investing Company to the community is almost incomplete without investing in secure ICT labs to reach out to more individuals and paint a better picture about your company in their minds. But when time is an issue, the answer is an equal if not better alternative on the fly.

Is Santa dead or alive scientifically?

Is Santa dead or alive scientifically?

There are approximately 2 billion children (persons under age 14) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist (except maybe in Japan) religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 19% of the total, or 378 million (according to the population reference bureau). At an average (census) rate of 3.5children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming there is at least one good child in each.

Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 967.7 visits per second. This is to say that, for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has around 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stocking, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh and get onto the next house.
www.RubMinds.com
Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but will accept for the purposes of our calculations), we are now talking about 0.78 miles per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting bathroom stops or breaks.

This means Santa’s sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second — 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second, and a conventional reindeer can run (at best) 15 miles per hour.

The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium sized LEGO set (two pounds), the sleigh is carrying over 500 thousands tons, not counting Santa himself. On land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that the “flying” reindeer can pull 10 times the normal amount, the job can’t be done with eight or even nine of them — Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons, or roughly seven times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch).
www.RubMinds.com
600,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance. This would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft re-entering the earth’s atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer would absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second each. In short, they would burst into flames almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team would be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second, or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip.

Not that it matters, however; since Santa, as a result of accelerating from a dead stop to 650 m.p.s. in .001 seconds, would be subjected to acceleration forces of 17,000 G’s. A 250 pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force, instantly crushing his bones and organs and reducing him to a quivering blob of pink goo.

Therefore, if Santa did exist, he’s dead now.

How to convert a USB Disk or any drive from FAT 32 to NTFS without losing files or formatting

Go to start button

Type cmd

Right click on command prompt and click run as administrator

Do not close. Go to your My Computer to see the drive letter (e.g. F: ) and volume label which is the name of the drive e.g. (My Backups).

Return to the COmmand prompt window and type the command (take note of the space)

convert drivename: /fs:ntfs

This would give you something similar to:

C:\>convert F: /fs:ntfs

The computer would ask you if you want to force close handles that’s if the drive is still open, answer yes if you have closed all open explorer file windows.

Next you need to enter the volume label, if any, that is the name of your drive (e.g. My Backups)

Hit enter key and wait…

wait…

wait…

If your HDD is about 1TB and you have used about 500GB already on FAT-32 then go to bed and disable your screensaver. :)

 

NB: If you are trying to copy a large file (more than 4GB) Windows will tell you the file is too large for the destination file system. You MUST be using NTFS to copy files larger than 4GB.

Sound Audio, display video, printer, network drivers backup before formatting or restore

Imagine all your drivers from different sources in one folder?

Imagine all your drivers from different sources in one folder?

Imagine all your drivers from different sources in one folder?
Double Driver: This software helps you to Sound Audio, display video, printer, network drivers backup before formatting or restore. After re installing your OS, you can then run the utility to restore all previous drivers. This is very useful especially when installation CDs or online drivers are scarce or out of reach. A must have for every ICT student or techie. Plus, it’s free!
“One of the main reasons why you would want to collect installed drivers is if you don’t have the Driver CD that came with the computer or they are unavailable online. This comes in quite handy if you purchase a computer and want to backup the initial set of drivers. It can be quite difficulty for example to find drivers for hardware installed in a notebook if the operating system has to be setup again. Luckily Double Driver can now lend you a hand with that and save you a lot of time.

Double Driver is a very simple and useful tool which not only allows you to view all the drivers installed on your system but also allows you to backup, restore, save and print all chosen drivers simply and reliably.

Double Driver analyzes your system and lists the most important driver details such as version, date, provider, etc and offers you the chance to update to the latest version. All drivers that are found can easily be backed up the application and easily restored at a later point in one go. ”
