Cyberport's network infrastructure in a league of its own
   
A major facelift to Cyberport's Network Operations Centre will be completed by the end of July following months of renovation works that promise a stronger, more secure and higher performing network infrastructure for all your data storage capabilities.

The over HK$9 million investment which included revamp of the Network Operations Centre, upgrade of its work stations, implementation of the Juniper Networks ISG-2000 Firewall system, a switch to IPS and full HD monitoring displays, will enhance the overall operational efficiency and facilitate better cohesion between the Network Operations Centre and the Central Data Exchanges.

Shortlisted finalist at the Stockholm Challenge
   
Cyberport's Digital Rights Management (DRM) platform, a technology pioneered by iResource Centre to protect intellectual property rights, was shortlisted as a finalist in the Culture category of this year's Stockholm Challenge.

Launched in 1994 by the City of Stockholm to challenge European cities to showcase their best ICT applications, the biannual awards programme has since evolved into an internationally renowned initiative that has recognized more than 5,000 international ICT projects over the years.

Greece on your doorstep
 
     
Greece, renowned for its deep blue sea and ancient historical sites, no longer needs to be plane rides and car journeys away. In fact, with a bit of imagination and ample more work, very soon it will be right on your doorstep.

From July 17 through to August 31, The Arcade, Cyberport is launching a six-week Greek Festival to explore the culture, history and culinary wonders of Greece and its islands.

The festival, offering fun and entertainment for both adults and children, is expected to draw ample visitors to The Arcade. A Greek themed buffet lunch offered at Le Meridien Cyberport throughout the period will further raise its attractiveness.
