Brother QL-700 label printer (S$238) comes with 1-year carry-in warranty.

Brother QL-700 label printer (S$238) comes with 1-year carry-in warranty.

The QL-700 is suitable for both small and large jobs. A range of pre-designed labels and banners are available in the Label Collection feature, ensuring commonly used professional labels are printed quickly and safely.

“It is ideally suited for office and home use, as well as vertical markets including medical, retailing, logistics and shipping. Users can produce labels such as address or shipping labels quickly, easily and professionally,” said Mr Nigel Lee, Country Manager, Brother International Singapore Pte Ltd.With the use of a continuous roll or die-cut of tape, users can print labels to size from 12mm to 62mm in width.

Also included is the P-touch Editor version 5 software, allowing users to customise their prints. The software also has the ability to print barcodes, graphics, and company logos.

It also prints Chinese, Japanese, Korean characters and any other foreign languages and can connect to databases to print name lists, product list and mailing address.

It is compatible with Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook and users can utilise the Add-in Feature to print directly within these applications, without the need to open P-touch Editor software.

With ‘Plug and Print’, users simply connect a USB cable to start labelling immediately. There are no virus concerns and the QL-700 can be easily shared with others.

The QL-700 uses direct thermal printing, eliminating the need to replace toner or ink cartridges.

Consumables are available in both a wide range of die-cut options as well as continuous length paper or film tape.

Brother label printer consumables are supplied on a spool, which is ready to slot into the QL-700, ensuring easy and correct installation.

The automatic detection technology instantly recognises the label size and adjusts instantly. This not only ensures all labels are aligned correctly but also prevents the wastage of labels.

Fuji Xerox DocuCentre S2010 & S1810

Tuesday, May 29th, 2012

Fuji Xerox has introduced two new digital  monochrome multifunction devices (MFDs). The DocuCentre S2010 and S1810 offers small and home offices (SOHOs) with cost effective and high-performance copy, print and scan jobs of up to A3 size.

Available now. Enquire at Fuji Xerox on price which varies with configuration.

Fuji Xerox DocuCentre S2010 & S1810

Fuji Xerox DocuCentre S2010 & S1810

The DocuCentre S2010 and S1810 print and copy at 20 pages per minute (ppm) and 18 ppm respectively. Both print images at up to 600 dpi resolution.

Fuji Xerox DocuCentre S2010 & S1810The Duplex Automatic Document Feeder loads up to 110 sheets and scans multi-page documents at 18 sheets per minute while the durable platen glass handles small or varied-sized documents and books for printouts.

Users can also electronically set and sort desired page order for fuss-free print collection, minimizing the need to manually collate high-volume printouts for faster turnaround time.

Multiple-Up function prints up to two pages on one sheet, and when in duplex mode – fits up to four pages on one piece of paper.

Fuji Xerox DocuCentre S2010 & S1810Further paper-saving can be achieved by digitizing documents up to a maximum of A3 size and storing scanned data to a personal computer (PC).

Connect a single user directly through USB or configure a network of multiple users through Ethernet support to facilitate document sharing.

The Toner Saver Mode calibrates toner density according to print or copy requirements, which controls ink usage and maximizes replacement schedules.

Equipped with built-in energy-saving Sleep Mode and Low Power Mode, DocuCentre S2010 and S1810 operate on low energy Typical Electricity Consumption (TEC) and follow stringent International Energy Star Program standards.

The MFDs can be configured to fit workflow requirements – a desktop set-up for individuals or small groups, or a stand-alone device for multiple users, with maximum paper tray capacity of up to 850 sheets.

Affordable cloud backup for small and medium businesses

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012

Kronicles has launched, in Singapore, a new Backup-as-a-Service solution for small and medium businesses (SMB).

The solution includes both on-site and off-site backup and promises enterprise-class reliability and fast recovery at affordable subscription-based pricing starting from S$5,000 per month (before government subsidy).

Kronicles BaaS includes both on-site and off-site backup.

Kronicles BaaS includes both on-site and off-site backup.

Only last week, I wrote about EMC’s “Disaster Recovery Survey 2012” which found that “81% of businesses in the Asia Pacific and Japan might NOT be able to recover lost data and systems in the event of a disaster”.

“71% of all organizations had lost data or suffered systems downtime in the last 12 months” – Vanson Bourne interview of 2,500 IT decision-makers.The results point to outdated backup and recovery infrastructure in businesses in Japan and the Asia Pacific.

Kronicles has come to the rescue with their new “Backup-as-a-Service” (BaaS), powered by technology from Quantum.

In the customer’s office, a POD (Periphery Onsite Device) backs up 30-days worth of data from a customer’s email and application servers.

The POD provides on-site backup for quick recovery.

The POD provides on-site backup for quick recovery.

The POD provides quick recovery of files over the local network, which is typically faster than an Internet connection.

Every day, during off-peak hours, data is copied over a dedicated link to Kronicles’ secure data facility for off-site protection.

In Singapore the data resides in-country within Starhub’s Tier 3 data center.

At the end of each month, Kronicles provides a copy of the data on an LTO tape, which can either be returned to the user or stored at a secure third=party location that can be returned on demand.

At any one time, there is a local copy of data for everyday operations, one stored on Kronicles’ cloud for business continuity, and one copy on tape for long-term archival.

Following today’s launch in Singapore, the service will be launched next in The Philippines and Malaysia.

Pricing

Three price packages are available. The basic Gold package – at S$5,000 per month – includes 200GB to 1TB of data backup, support for three to 10 Windows servers, up to 30-day history.

The Platinum package – at S$8,000 per month – includes 1TB to 2TB of data, three to 10 Windows servers, and up to 60-day history.

Customers with even more stringent requirements can discuss the Platinum Plus package with Kronicles.

Is the data secured? “Yes, data is encrypted with up to 256bit encryption when the data is ‘in flight’. At the data center itself, the data is not encrypted but protected,” says Pramotedham. The data on the back-up tapes are also not encrypted.A War Room for DR and BCP

Piti Pramotedham, Group CEO of Kronicles, described something that caught my attention during his presentation.

He described how a “War Room” can be set up in StarHub’s Media Centre should a customer’s premises be gutted by, say, a fire.

The customer, together with its partners, can set up shop in the War Room while their IT servers are re-constituted from the backup servers.

Is the data of one customer physically compartmentalised from that of another customer? “Yes, at the data center, it’s like a bank vault – so you see a whole wall of storage dedicated to one customer, separate from that of other customers,” say Piti.This can be completed in a matter of hours, after which, the customer and its partners can resume “business as usual”.

The aim is to suffer minimal disruption in times of disaster.

Pramotedham says that Kronicles insists that customers practise this once a year to ensure everything is well-rehearsed.

For SMBs that doesn’t yet have any Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity Plans (BCP), this is like having DR and BCP thrown in together with the BaaS.
