Counter Terror Expo 2010: Record Attendance Reflects Threat From Terrorism Remains High

Counter Terror

April 14-15 delivered a busy week for the Steatite Team at the 2010 Counter Terror show.

The official show figures have revealed that over a two day period an excess of 6900 attendees passed through Olympia’s National Hall doors. This show has enabled the team to meet many of our current customers while receiving new interest from visitors who approached us with specific requirements and technical questions, which resulted in a whole series of project ideas.

Attending on the Steatite stand was Mike Mountfield, Paul Edwards, Sebastian Leaver and Debbie Reed. The Team experienced two extremely busy days at the Olympia Exhibition centre in London.

Due to the unprecedented demand from the sector, the Counter Terror Expo will move to the much larger Grand Hall of London’s Olympia Exhibition and Conference Centre in 2011.

Debbie Reed Marketing Manager for Steatite comments:

“This was our first time exhibiting at the show. Although very hard work, the general consensus of opinion from the team was that it was a great success and we were so impressed that we have booked a space at the next Counter Terror show planned for April 2011.”

Microsoft Windows Embedded Server Products

When designing an embedded solution it is very easy to spend many hours and much of your budget designing your end point client device and leave all thoughts of the server that will be running these devices until the last minute when it is often too late to evaluate products correctly.

This can often lead to a poor choice in hardware and software and potentail weaknesses in your embedded solution.

The overall reliability of any computer system is dictated by the weakest part in the chain; if you are designing a system that is going to be in a dirty environment and you spend your budget designing a bullet proof embedded node but use an off the shelf commercial server you should expect this to be the part of the solution that fails.

The same theory applies with software, if you have spent time and money designing application software to run within a specific environment which meets very specific critirea, would you not wish to be sure this is not only the running on the correct operating system that offers adequate perfromance and security, but also offers the longevity of supply you require?

It is a little known fact that Microsoft have an embedded server range, and those that do know of it tend not to really understand how it can benefit their solution.

Selecting the correct Microsoft Embedded Server O/S at the out set will enable you to develop your software and embedded solution safe in the knowledge that not only do you have the correct technology to back you up, but also that you will be able to obtain this technology for as long as required.
