Hawaii has to be the most beautiful place that I have had a chance to visit. The warm oceans, cool breeze in the evening make this a true magical paradise.We were able to stay in Maui in a vacation condo on our 10 year wedding anniversary and had a blast. Some friends that we went with explored the option of a Maui Charter Fishing company to take them out on a half day fishing trip. There are several so make sure you do your research before you go. I have read about and seen the reviews on one company called Extreme Fishing Maui where they make sure that you will have a successful trip by moitoring the weather and fishing patterns for you.

We walked the beaches, took the road to Hana, and went snorkeling with some large sea turtles. Our favorite part of the trip was the trip we took in a red convertible to Hana. The waterfalls and scenery were amazing. I will caution you though that the trip is made on a winding road that will actually go down to one lane. The locals go flying on this road and they will pass you, but remember that you are there to relax so just take your time and enjoy the scenery on the way. Plus there are some nice little villages on the way where you stop off and grab a refreshment and ask questions.

1. A companies failure to mover their legacy systems from their existing networks to IP solutions. Many companies are trying to bridge over the two technologies and you will find bottle necks at the blade server in order to accommodate that various speed and size requirements.
2. There is a failure to properly plan for and implement systems that will meet traffic requirements that will be needed by the company and your employees. Having a business phone maintenance plan in place in order to increase up time.
3. A neglect to bring in your IT admin and outside vendors to help design and develop new services that you place on your servers on top of the IP networks.
4. Lacking the vision and planning to have enough peak capacity to meet large spikes that may take place during normal operating processes.
5. Lastly and one of the most common issues for converged IP systems is the complete disregard for and development of open standards and protocols. Many vendors will have a solution, but they may be proprietary to their equipment and software and do not allow for simple upgrades and expansion.
Business IP also offers your sales team a way to work from home or abroad and still have the local presence of their home office telephone number because the technology allows you to plug into wherever there is a broadband connection. This can help small businesses look bigger while providing a more robust and cost effective solution.

There are several hundred social networking sites that are now trying to find a niche. Some of the site are relatively new and have about 600 members as of this post. The great thing about new sites like this is that if you get in early you can make a name for yourself and grab some of the cool names that can be a huge benefit when the site takes off. Some are offering  cool features that they are launching called Shout Cast where you can be a DJ online or just listen to what others are mixing up. I do like how they show the latest members, videos, and blogs right on the front page so that everyone can get exposure and hopefully attract new friends.

Thank goodness now there are professional companies who at the time we were looking to make the conversion were pretty expensive. Now that the technology has become more affordable and the medium that is used has come down in cost it makes sense for individuals and businesses to send these projects out to have them done. The typical turn around time is about 1-2 weeks depending on the size of the order and what you need done. Most of the companies will even offer DVD replication where they can master and burn thousands of disks so if you are trying to send out a training video it can be more cost effective.
