With Google constantly attempting to ‘drive’ enterprise customers away from Microsoft, the Google Drive service could essentially replace a vital feature that Windows Enterprise clients use on a daily basis: shared hard drives. Google Apps already is offering a more robust and customizable feature set for small to medium sized companies in terms of email, it makes perfect sense that they are making a foray into internal file sharing.

“This was an obvious power play by Zuckerberg; the pre-IPO timing is no coincidence,” said Jordan Hudgens of software design firm MCW Services. “With all the commentary surrounding the reasons why Facebook has taken so long to go public, the number one factor for the delay has always been Zuckerberg’s reluctance to give up control. It’s clear that he is not relenting on his belief - and rightfully so - that he is the best person to lead his company.”
I was just interviewed by Alan Earls of TechTarget, the quotes are below:
Another enthusiast is Jordan Hudgens, senior software engineer at MCW Services in Midland, Texas, which specializes in creating software applications for the oil field industry. His company has a heterogeneous database environment, including Microsoft SQL 2008 for its .NET applications and MySQL for PHP. They are using managed servers from Rackspace and LiquidWeb, along with other cloud-based solutions, and are in the process of migrating to SQL Server 2012.
Hudgens said the best feature in SQL Server 2012 for MCW Services is its ad hoc query paging that is going live.
“By being able to more efficiently filter query results, we can decrease lag time and increase the data available to users,” he said. “Specifically the new functionality built into the OFFSET, SELECT and FETCH commands will help return more accurate results for our data-rich applications.”
Hudgens felt those commands in SQL Server 2008 R2 were “somewhat cumbersome” and that they will be more streamlined and efficient with SQL Server 2012.
