Shutdown during Lockdown: Cease and Desist Order on ABS-CBN

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Ihihinto ng ABS-CBN ang broadcasting ng 42 television stations, 10 digital broadcast channels, 18 FM stations, at 5 AM stations nito sa buong bansa bilang pagtalima sa utos ng National Telecommunications Commission.


FYI, Only the broadcast thru air wave is shutdown not the entirety of the network's operation. ABS-CBN can still air thru online like that of social media.

Also, shutting ABS-CBN as a company is a different story. The government did not shut down the network but only bar it from using the air waves. Remember it's a privilege not a right.

If ABS-CBN is true to it's commitment to serving the people, it has to follow the order while at the same time appeal to court. The network has all the capital and machineries to exhaust all legal remedies.


ABS-CBN SHUTDOWN REASONS:

Hindi naman dahil sa 'way of reporting' or how biased ang ABS-CBN kaya sila na-shutdown.

Isa-isahin natin mga cases nila. OK?

1. Selling of their TV PLUS Digital Box eventhough hindi sila kumuha ng license for it to sell and it wasn't registered in NTC.

2. Adding 'sister-channels' like Cinemo, Yey Channel, etc. under their company name but not registering it to NTC.

3. Unpaid 'due taxes' issued to them and not cooperating with the higher authorities since late 2014.

4. Asking for pay-per-view for KBO MOVIES when under their signed contract it's called FREE TV meaning FREE TO AIR, FREE TO WATCH.

5. Lastly, operating their registered channel under the name of one franchise as ABS-CBN, wherein they only registered one channel, but they have 'channels'?
– Baka i-bash niyo ako.

Yes, my TV PLUS kami.

I also enjoyed their shows and find it entertaining, specially AC CHANNEL bcoz KDrama is lifee nowadays.

PERO, WAKE UP GUYS. KUNG HINDI TUTURUAN NG LESSON YUNG MGA PAGKAKAMALI AND ILLEGALITIES NG HIERARCHY NILA,

PAANO NAMAN YUNG NGA TAONG NADAMAY AT NAWALAN DAHIL SA KAPABAYAAN NILA?

TIKOM BIBIG AT BULAG-BULAGAN NALANG BA?

Palalampasin nalang kasi fave channel mo?
I beg to disagree.

May point yung NTC.

In this time of crisis we need to be as one.
Pero, paano yung mga pamilya noon na nagwowork sa Cable Companies na nawalan ng work because of TV PLUS and its 'cable channels'?

Sad din ako, but when it comes to ILLEGALITIES one should shoulder it's CONSEQUENCES.

New Hitachi Ops Center Software Features AI-Driven Management Tools To Radically Simplify Storage Provisioning for AI, ML and Containerized Apps

New EverFlex From Hitachi Vantara Provides More Choice To Help Customers Move To Pay-Per-Use Consumption Models That Lower Cost and Reduce Risk


Hitachi Vantara, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501), today introduced Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) E990, the company’s new storage platform for midsize enterprise customers.

The E990’s high performance and low latency supercharge business applications, and industry-leading data de-duplication guarantees storage cost reductions. Hitachi Ops Center’s powerful artificial intelligence (AI)-driven management software can also dramatically simplify storage provisioning for AI, machine learning (ML) and containerized applications.

With the vast spread of COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, numerous countries, including the Philippines, have regulated counter measures to manage the situation. Public and private sectors have rolled out work-from-home operations to ensure and protect the health and safety of their employees. However, medium and large enterprises then are challenged to secure their own company’s data while remote working.

Business continuity for medium and large enterprises, in times like these is only efficient if companies are willing to also invest in their cloud and storage infrastructure. 

The company also unveiled EverFlex from Hitachi Vantara, a program that provides simple, elastic and comprehensive acquisition choices for the E990 and the entire Hitachi Vantara portfolio. EverFlex adds consumption-based pricing models that range from basic utility pricing, to custom outcome-based services, to Storage as a Service. It will align IT spend with business use for midsize enterprises, enabling effective ways to lower cost, avoid wasting capacity and eliminate disruption. 

Industry-Leading Deduplication Reduces Storage Costs

With data volumes forecast to rise to 23%1 and data storage budgets growing only 10%2 on average, midsize enterprises urgently need solutions to reduce storage costs. The new Hitachi VSP E990 with Hitachi Ops Center delivers industry-leading 4:1 data deduplication – twice that of Hitachi’s closest competitor – guaranteeing to free up 75% of storage capacity.


AI-Enhanced Management Tools Radically Simplify Storage Provisioning

Industry analyst firm 451 Research, now a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, suggests 43%4 of storage buyers feel unprepared to support increased future demands. Hitachi Vantara VSP E990 combined with Ops Center directly addresses this challenge. Ops Center’s AI-enhanced management streamlines storage delivery by up to 90%3 for demanding applications. It also reduces manual storage provisioning tasks by up to 70%3 and delivers root cause issue analysis four times faster to accelerate troubleshooting.


Trusted Performance That Won’t Break the Bank

Hitachi Vantara VSP E990 addresses the data infrastructure reliability challenges that many enterprises continue to face: One-third of enterprises still suffer outages5 or significant performance degradation as a result of storage reliability issues. VSP E990 delivers Hitachi Vantara’s long-standing leadership in reliability to midsize enterprises at a price point they can afford. It features an all-NVMe architecture with the industry’s leading and lowest-cost IOPS (as low as $0.03 per IOPS) and ultra-low latency for the most resource-hungry business applications.


Predictable Pricing and Flexible Consumption

New EverFlex adds greater choice in consumption-based pricing models that make pricing predictable for cloud-like storage usage. It starts by enabling customers to pay only for what they use and align technology spending with business use to reduce costs by up to 20%3, eliminating the need to pay for the essential reserve capacity that every installation needs. Added services are available to further reduce costs and avoid disruptions to business by providing outcome-based operational services that help deliver more consistent service levels without placing additional burden on staff.


VSP E990 Is Supercharged for Partners, Too

The VSP E990 is ideal for partners to deliver innovation and benefits important to midsize enterprise customers. Hitachi Vantara continues to invest in its predictable, profitable and pioneering partner program with enablement tools, marketing resources and incentives designed for distributors and resellers focused on midsize enterprises.
