Divining the bottleneck
Posted by admin on October 1st, 2007
We all know the trick to getting the best fastest piece of IT kit for your buck. -Locating the speed bottle neck. Its no use buying a hyper fast graphics card, if the speed of onboard memory is too slow, or having a fast shooting Digital SLR Camera if the compact flash card has a slow write speed. Well its the same with access management. So much of what we do in improving access to content depends on every link in the chain. One element which we tend to look at least (maybe because it doesn’t have a technical standard linked to it?) is licensing.
24/7, remote, finely grained access to content only happens when the license permits it too.
Lets not forget we need 21st century licenses for 21st century technology.
