- Workers used an average of four passwords, although one systems administrator used 40 passwords, which he stored using a program he wrote himself to keep them secure.
- 51 percent of passwords were changed on a monthly basis, 3 percent changed passwords weekly, 2 percent daily, 10 percent quarterly, 13 percent rarely and 20 percent never.
- Many workers who regularly had to change their passwords kept them on piece of paper in their drawers, or stored on Word documents.
Network Attached Storage (NAS), for the most part, comprises a hand full of hard drives, enclosed in a rack-mountable case with a customized operating system. Although NAS has made tremendous strides beyond that recently, a reoccurring problem with many of the NAS boxes out there is that they are pieced together with different hardware components and proprietary software, which really do not co-exist well when smashed together. Many times this mix and match method hinders performance and serviceability. Down the road this presents an unfavorable outcome many organizations can ill afford to have.
HP's StorageWorks 2000s is the exception. It is a NAS device built on proven ProLiant server technology. Incorporating the ProLiant technology underneath the covers of the NAS hardware offers many of the specialty management tools like Integrated Lights-Out and Insight Manager, which help maintain a high level of quality service.
