Dukung Kominfo, Importir Rela Stop Pasok BlackBerry

Jakarta - Asosiasi Pengusaha dan Importir Telepon Genggam Indonesia (Aspiteg) mendukung penuh langkah Kementerian Komunikasi dan Informatika (Kominfo) dalam menegakan aturan terhadap Research in Motion (RIM), vendor layanan BlackBerry dari Kanada. "Kami 100% mendukung Kominfo. Stop sertifikat impor mereka, evaluasi kinerjanya, baru silakan jalan lagi. Sebagai asosiasi, seluruh anggota kami siap tidak impor BlackBerry dulu sampai RIM mau mematuhi aturan dan undang-undang di Indonesia," kata Ketua Umum Aspiteg Alie Cendrawan di eX Plaza, Jakarta, Jumat (14/1/2011). Aspiteg merupakan asosiasi importir yang beranggotakan lebih dari 20 perusahaan yang memasok ponsel-ponsel merek vendor ternama termasuk BlackBerry. Setiap bulannya mereka tercatat memasok ponsel lebih dari dua juta unit. Dari total dua juta unit, impor BlackBerry memang hanya 5 persen dari total ponsel merek ternama yang didatangkan. Namun karena BlackBerry termasuk ponsel kelas menengah ke atas, nilainya diakui Alie cukup besar. Sebagai pebisnis, para anggota Aspiteg tentu sadar dengan menyetop impor BlackBerry akan menurunkan pendapatan bisnis mereka secara signifikan. "Namun demi merah putih, kami tidak menganggap ini sebagai kerugian," tegas Alie. Sebagai pebisnis ponsel yang mengerti seluk-beluk kerja sama bisnis RIM di Indonesia, Aspiteg mengaku sadar benar bahwa langkah yang ditempuh Kominfo sudah benar. Menurut Alie, Indonesia selama ini sudah banyak dirugikan oleh skema bisnis yang dipaksakan RIM. "RIM beralasan cuma jual terminal dan tidak mau membangun server agar tidak terkena pajak. Padahal mereka melayani pelanggan di Indonesia. Sebagai perusahaan jasa, sesuai UU perdagangan, 30 persen harus masuk ke pajak. Dengan pendapatan per bulannya Rp 1,5 triliun dari dua juta pelanggan, RIM kelihatan sekali tak mau kehilangan Rp 450 miliar," papar Alie. Aspiteg juga menilai, RIM tak sungguh-sungguh membangun service center di Indonesia. Karena selama ini, kata Alie, dari enam service center yang dijanjikan RIM cuma ada satu saja di Jakarta. "Itu pun cuma satu, dengan Teleplan yang milik perusahaan asing. Sementara lainnya yang diklaim RIM, itu cuma pick-up point saja. Bukan service center sesungguhnya. Bagaimana RIM bisa melayani keluhan kerusakan BlackBerry kalau begini terus caranya," keluh Farid Manan, Wakil Ketua Aspiteg.

Duet 'Cabe Rawit' Toshiba di Awal Tahun

Jakarta - Toshiba memperkenalkan dua netbook terbarunya, NB520 dan NB550. Keduanya bakal tersedia mulai kuartal I 2011 di seluruh Asia Tenggara. Seri NB520 merupakan netbook pertama di dunia yang dilengkapi sound system kelas premium Harman Kardon. Sementara NB505 adalah model yang hadir lebih minimalis tanpa speaker Harman Kardon. "Jika di Indonesia, Toshiba menyebutnya cabe rawit. Kecil tapi memiliki kualitas maksimal," papar Paige Shi, specialist product marketing group computer system Toshiba Singapore, saat acara peluncuran bertempat di Four Season, Kamis (13/1/2011). Saat dijajal detikINET , Toshiba NB520 memiliki suara bass yang mendentum layaknya versi laptop multimedia Qosmio. Netbook tersebut juga dilengkapi Dolby Advanced Audio yang menyediakan kualitas suara natural saat mendengarkan musik. Disertai fitur Sleep and Music, NB520 memungkinakan pengguna tetap menikmati musik walau netbook dalam keadaan mati. Mereka hanya perlu mencolokan MP3 player ke jack audio NB520. Dengan segala fitur audio di atas, mahalkan harga kedua 'cabe rawit' Toshiba itu? Paige Shi menyebutkan harganya dimulai USD 409 (sekitar Rp 3,6 Jutaan) hingga USD 469 (sekitar Rp 4,1 Jutaan). Silakan disimpulkan sendiri, apakah memang semahal harga cabe saat ini.

The weakness in Internet Explorer

Microsoft warned of a gap weakness in Internet Explorer 6.7 browser, and 8. Gap has the potential to be exploited malicious people to smuggle malicious programs when visitors access the site dangerous.

Patch to close the vulnerability is being developed. Despite the critical status, there are no plans from Microsoft to update its emergency. So far, the gap has not been exploited irresponsible party.

"Until now, the impact of the weakness was still very minimal and we have not seen any consumers who become victims or active attacks, addressed to its users," said Caelene Chmaj, a spokesman for the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC), Microsoft's official blog on Wednesday ( 12/22/2010). He said, however, it continues to monitor these weaknesses and to update as soon as possible.

This weakness was first reported several weeks ago by a French security company, Vupen, which was found in the HTML engine in Internet Explorer (IE).

IE7 and IE8 users may have a smaller chance to be a victim because this browser Protected Mode feature that will ask for permission to users if it will do the installation programs, launch applications, or modify the operating system components.

Microsoft emphasizes prevention to professional users. They suggested using the Enhanced Experience Mitigation Toolkit 2.0 (EMET 2.0) to increase the defense effort in the browser. These additional programs for free download at the Microsoft site.

Berhenti Merokok Lebih Efektif Lewat Konseling Ponsel

Jakarta - Schroeder Institute for Tobacco Research and Policy Studies di American Legacy Foundation AS menemukan bahwa para perokok yang rutin mendapatkan bimbingan atau konseling melalui telepon dan mengikuti program berhenti merokok di situs internet, bisa dua kali lebih cepat berhenti merokok dalam kurun waktu 18 bulan.    "Ini adalah salah satu dari beberapa percobaan besar yang telah memperlihatkan keberhasilan kombinasi konseling melalui internet dan ponsel," kata Amanda Graham, direktur pengembangan riset di Schroeder Institute for Tobacco Research and Policy Studies.  Graham menyebutkan, tingkat kebiasaan merokok di AS telah menurun drastis dari 30 persen di tahun 1985. Sayangnya dia tidak menjelaskan lebih rinci hingga berapa persen penurunannya. Konseling melalui telepon telah terbukti menjadi cara yang sangat membantu. Dan kini banyak program berhenti merokok melalui telepon menambahkan komponen internet untuk kian melengkapinya. Demikian dikutip detikINET dari Reuters , Rabu (12/01/2011).  Para peneliti mendata 2.000 perokok yang mengikuti program salah satu situs program berhenti merokok bernama Quitnet. Mereka dibagi dalam dua kelompok, yakni kelompok premium yang mengikuti program secara lengkap melalui konseling telepon dan internet, dan mereka yang mengikuti program basic yang mengikuti konseling dari telepon saja atau internet saja. Setelah 18 bulan, 15 persen partisipan yang mengikuti program premium dilaporkan tak lagi merokok. Didandingkan mereka yang menjalani program basic , hanya enam persen yang berhasil berhenti merokok dalam kurun waktu yang sama.

10 Prediksi Teknologi Storage di 2011

Jakarta - Teknologi data center terus berkembang setiap tahunnya. Lalu, bagaimana tren di tahun 2011 ini? Simak prediksi Hu Yoshida, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Hitachi Data Systems. Menurut Hu, tahun 2011 akan diwarnai dengan 10 tren storage utama seputar transformasi data center. Berikut penjabarannya seperti dikutip detikINET , Selasa (11/1/2011): 1. Adopsi virtualisasi storage dan dynamic provisioning semakin cepat. Keduanya menjadi fondasi bagi penerapan komputasi awan dan data center yang dinamis dengan tingkat ketersediaan tinggi. Virtualisasi storage, virtualisasi dari array storage eksternal memungkinkan migrasi dari satu array ke array yang lain tanpa gangguan. Sementara itu, dynamic provisioning memungkinkan storage disediakan dalam hitungan menit. 2. Integrasi virtualisasi server dan storage semakin erat. Integrasi ini diperlukan untuk meningkatkan adopsi virtualisasi data center. Saat ini, virtualisasi server sudah matang melebihi pengurangan biaya dari konsolidasi server print, file, test dan development untuk mendukung server aplikasi tier 1. Virtualisasi server memerlukan integrasi virtualisasi array storage yang bisa mengurangi 'leher botol' I/O peranti lunak seperti SCSI, sehingga bisa memenuhi kebutuhan aplikasi kelas enterprise.    3. Adopsi virtual tiering untuk manajemen daur hidup. Saat ini, virtual tiering mampu mengalokasikan volume ke satu pool of storage (kumpulan storage) yang berisi kinerja, biaya dan jumlah tier pada storage. Virtual tiering juga memiliki kecerdasan untuk memindahkan komponen dari volume tersebut ke tier yang lain berdasarkan jumlah akses. Pengguna tak perlu mengklasifikasikan sebuah volume dan mengalokasikannya ke satu tier storage. Pengguna juga tak perlu menaikkan atau menurunkan volume ke tier tertentu berdasarkan aktivitas. Virtual Tiering atau Dynamic Tiering akan melakukannya secara otomatis tanpa perlu melakukan klasifikasi atau pemindahan antar tier. 4. Saatnya menggunakan SSD (Solid State Drive) dalam konfigurasi virtual tier. SSD mampu meningkatkan kinerja sekaligus menurunkan biaya dalam konfigurasi virtual tier. Saat ini, 80% lebih volume tergolong tidak aktif, hanya sedikit saja jumlah SSD yang dibutuhkan dalam Tier 1 untuk melayani komponen-komponen yang aktif dari satu volume. Sebagian besar volume bisa memakai drive SAS atau SATA yang lebih murah. Pool storage multi-tier yang memiliki sedikit SSD dan banyak drive SAS atau SATA akan lebih murah dibandingkan satu pool drive SAS dengan total kapasitas yang sama dan memberikan IOP empat sampai lima kali lipat. 5. Adopsi Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) untuk sistem storage enterprise. Tidak seperti Fibre Channel (FC) loop yang digunakan mendukung drive FC pada sistem-sistem storage tua, SAS adalah protokol point-to-point. FC loop mensyaratkan setiap drive dalam loop membantu akses ke loop tersebut yang mengakibatkan inefisiensi. Jika drive yang lebih cepat  – seperti drive SSD -  disambungkan ke loop itu, akan menghabiskan loop tersebut sehingga drive yang lain tidak kebagian akses. Kebanyakan drive SAS saat ini berkecepatan 6Gbps dan sebagian besar FC loop adalah 4Gbps. Dengan demikian, SAS memiliki kinerja yang lebih cepat dengan akses point-to-point sehingga lebih mudah menemukan drive yang gagal dibandingkan FC loops. SAS juga kompatibel dengan SATA. Satu-satunya perbedaan adalah port-nya, SAS memiliki port ganda sedangkan SATA port tunggal. 6. Drive SFF (Small Form Factor), akan semakin banyak ditemui. Terutama karena efisiensi daya dan pendinginan yang dimiliki SFF. Peranti SFF adalah drive 2,5 inch yang mengkonsumsi daya sekitar 6 sampai 8 watt, dibandingkan drive Large Form Factor (LFF) 3,5 inci yang memakan 12 sampai 15 watt. Dengan demikian, SFF memangkas daya dan pendinginan secara dramatis, ditambah juga penghematan dari pemakaian ruangan. Sejumlah vendor mengemas 24 disk SFF dalam satu laci setinggi 2U dengan lebar 33,5 inci. Hitachi mengemas AMS dan Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) sehingga lebih padat. Satu laci AMS memiliki 48 drive setinggi 3U dengan lebar 24 inci. Laci ini bisa ditarik untuk pemeliharaan dengan 48 disk masih berputar. 7. Awan diterima sebagai salah satu model infrastruktur. Komputasi Awan akan mulai diterima sebagai salah satu konsep yang teruji. Sejumlah landasan ke Awan akan mendorong adopsi dengan menyediakan sejumlah peranti manajeman dan lapisan orkestrasi yang menyediakan transparansi seluruh proses. 8. Konvergensi data center melonjak. Konvergensi infrastruktur server, storage dan jaringan akan menyederhanakan dan mempercepat penggelaran aplikasi. Penggunaan server, hypervisor, storage dan virtualisasi jaringan memberikan jalan bagi platform terbuka yang memastikan perlindungan investasi dan pilihan bagi pengguna. 9. Aplikasi semakin transparan dalam virtualisasi storage atau aplikasi akan membutuhkan infrastruktur Awan. Tanpa transparansi ini, para pengguna aplikasi tidak bisa mengetahui apakah target Service Level Agreement (SLA) sudah tercapai, bagaimana mengetahui mekanisme penagihannya, perencanaan utilisasi dan tingkat kesehatan dari infrastrukturnya. Peranti lunak manajemen bisa menyediakan dashboard aplikasi bagi unit bisnis yang menggunakannya sesuai dengan target SLA. Dashboard tersebut menunjukkan status SLA, alokasi disk, tipe RAID, port storage dan tingkat kesehatan infrastruktur yang digunakan, serta kapasitas pemakaian. 10. Layanan terkelola (managed services) jarak jauh mulai tersedia. Remote Managed Services ini akan mengurangi beban monitoring, pelaporan, peringatan dan manajemen yang menghambat operasional TI beralih ke teknologi baru. Selama lebih dari 10 tahun, mandat yang diberikan kepada TI adalah mengerjakan lebih banyak hal dengan lebih sedikit sehingga staf disibukkan dengan pemeliharaan teknologi yang sama. Untuk melakukan transformasi data center, staf TI harus mencari waktu untuk pelatihan, perencanaan dan eksekusi. Sekelompok ahli TI yang beroperasi di luar Service Operations Center menggunakan peranti manajemen jarak jauh bisa meningkatkan kemampuan ini ke berbagai instalasi dengan biaya yang lebih diterima dan mendorong lebih cepat tingkat pengembalian investasi.

Operator Dukung Kominfo Desak RIM

Jakarta - Sejumlah operator yang menjadi mitra Research in Motion (RIM) dalam penyelenggaraan layanan BlackBerry di Indonesia justru mendukung langkah penyensoran yang diminta oleh Kementerian Komunikasi dan Informatika (Kominfo). Seperti diketahui, Menteri Kominfo Tifatul Sembiring sebelumnya telah mengultimatum RIM agar menutup segala akses konten pornogafi di BlackBerry. Jika permintaan itu tak dipenuhi hingga tanggal 17 Januari, maka layanan BlackBerry terancam ditutup total. "Kami akan meminta enam operator yang menjadi mitra RIM untuk menutup layanan BlackBerry di Indonesia," begitu katanya usai melantik pejabat eselon satu di kantor Kementerian Kominfo, akhir pekan ini. Tifatul menegaskan bahwa ancaman yang ditujukan kepada RIM bukan gertak sambal belaka. Namun karena berpegang teguh pada UU No. 14/2008 pasal 17 tentang pencegahan penyebaran pornografi. "Kita bukan sedang bernegosiasi, kalau RIM tidak memenuhi aturan dan UU RI, enough is enough ," tulis menteri dalam akun twitter-nya, @tifsembiring. RIM yang mendapat ancaman justru belum juga buka suara sampai detik ini. Konsultan humasnya di Indonesia berpendapat bahwa yang harusnya mengomentari masalah ini adalah perwakilan dari RIM pusat di Kanada. "Levelnya (CEO) Mike Lazaridis atau (Co-CEO) Jim Balsillie." BlackBerry sendiri di Indonesia diselenggarakan oleh RIM melalui kemitraan dengan enam operator, yakni Indosat, Telkomsel, XL Axiata, Natrindo Telepon Seluler, Hutchison CP Telecom, dan Smart Telecom. Diperkirakan jumlah pengguna BlackBerry yang terdaftar hingga saat ini mencapai lebih dari 2,5 juta pelanggan. Mayoritas berasal dari Telkomsel (960 ribu), XL (750 ribu), dan Indosat (750 ribu). Meski ketiga operator itu memiliki jumlah pelanggan BlackBerry yang terbesar, namun ketiganya justru mendukung langkah pemerintah dalam mengultimatum RIM. "Seharusnya (BlackBerry) tidak sampai tutup. Ini masalah pornografi, aturannya jelas. RIM harusnya mematuhi aturan Indonesia mengenai masalah ini dan melakukan blocking ," kata Direktur Commerce XL Joy Wahyudi kepada detikINET , Minggu (9/1/2011). Pendapat serupa disampaikan oleh perwakilan Indosat. "Masalah blocking konten di BlackBerry tentunya mengikuti peraturan perundangan yang berlaku di Indonesia," kata Teguh Prasetya, Group Head VAS Brand Marketing Indosat. "Oleh sebab itu, kita harus bekerja sama dengan RIM khususnya untuk layanan BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) yang server layanannya berada di Kanada agar bisa menerapkan filtering tersebut," lanjutnya. Meski demikian, Teguh berharap batasan waktu 17 Januari yang diminta pemerintah masih bisa dinegosiasikan. "Tentang batas waktu yang ditetapkan, tentunya operator menunggu konfirmasi dari RIM terhadap rencana implementasi tersebut. Operator akan terus mempersiapkan pelaksanaannya bersama dengan RIM dan pemerintah tentunya," kata dia. Saat ditemui sebelumnya, Direktur Utama Telkomsel Sarwoto Atmosutarno sempat terkejut saat BlackBerry diultimatum oleh Kominfo. Ada sedikit kekhawatiran kalau BlackBerry benar-benar ditutup, akan menggerus pendapatan. "Kita ini kan punya 960 ribu pelanggan BlackBerry, terbanyak dibandingkan operator lain. Tapi kalau Kominfo sudah memerintahkan demikian, ya kita lihat saja bagaimana nanti," kata Sarwoto saat itu.
