Where the Cloud Touches Down: Simplifying Data Center Infrastructure Management

Thursday, July 25, 2013
10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET

In most data centers, DCIM rests on a shaky foundation of manual record keeping and scattered documentation. OpManager replaces data center documentation with a single repository for data, QRCodes for asset tracking, accurate 3D mapping of asset locations, and a configuration management database (CMDB). In this webcast, sponsored by ManageEngine, you will see how a real-world datacenter mapping stored in racktables gets imported into OpManager, which then provides a 3D visualization of where assets actually are. You'll also see how the QR Code generator helps you make the link between real assets and the monitoring world, and how the layered CMDB provides a single point of view for all your configuration data.

IT Pro Ranking: Apple And HP Top Tablets

February 25, 2011 01:25 PM
Apple, HP and Dell show when it comes to PC alternatives, IT is trying to serve two masters. These three vendors topped the list of preferred vendors in a recent evaluation of alternative client devices, including tablets and netbooks. In fact, only 2 percentage points separated top-ranked HP and third-place Apple in our survey of 493 IT professionals. That's a pretty close game.

iPhone 4 And High Performance Coolness? Here's Hoping!

June 10, 2010 09:50 AM
It was inevitable: you don't sell a bazillion iPods and iPhones and not get a sense of what users want in the next version. Apple certainly delivered, with new video capability, a front camera, video calling, a lower price point, more processing power, multitasking, and so on. This is cool stuff in a platform that already cornered the market for cool. From a wireless network administrator's perspective, a couple of features have me jazzed.

Apple Good, Apple Frustrating

May 28, 2010 09:00 AM
With media buzz proclaiming that Apple has surpassed Microsoft in aggregate value, I find myself reflecting on my running frustrations with Apple products from the perspective of the enterprise wireless network administrator. Let's get it right out there: I think Apple devices are sexy, cool, hip and unique. Steve Jobs' story is the stuff of legend, and even if you dislike the product line, you have to admire the man behind them. I get all of that and throw no stones at the coolness factor Apple has honed or the technical milestones that they have achieved. But my personal, shall we say, befuddlement, comes from Apple's seemingly head-in-the-sand-like attitude regarding the fact that their products are actually used on wireless networks outside of the home.

Mobile Applications Really Do Matter, Especially On The iPad

April 19, 2010 11:30 AM
My review of Apple's iPad, recently posted online, quickly met with some criticisms. The comments either deemed it flawed, pointing out that the tablet was not meant to be a laptop replacement, or basically implied that I really didn't understand the use cases for the device. And of course, there was the comment that I was a dinosaur, stuck in 1990's thinking about mobility.

Apple's iPad Not Ready For The Enterprise

April 13, 2010 09:00 AM
Much like the iPhone before it, the Apple iPad is a polarizing device. Supporters of the tablet see it as a new paradigm in personal computing, while others deride it as just a really big media player. We put Apple's tablet to the test, seeing how close the new device could get to replacing the traditional laptop in the hands of an enterprise user. After a week of testing, the iPad experience offered a series of highs and some really big lows, but in the end, it is not quite ready to replace my laptop yet.

Spend More To Save More - Rethinking iPad For Enterprise Users

March 05, 2010 02:00 PM
The launch details of Apple's iPad tablet were just recently revealed, with the WiFi-only version of the device going on sale April 3rd and is open to pre-orders on March 12th. While the gadget geeks will certainly be standing by with credit cards at the ready, I believe that waiting a bit longer for the 3G model, and paying a bit more, is the way to go for most enterprise road warriors.

The iPad Is Not A Kindle Killer

January 27, 2010 03:30 PM
This is a bit off-topic, but indulge me. In the lead-up to Apple's iPad launch today, many folks are making comparisons to Amazon's Kindle, claiming that the iPad will be a Kindle killer. No, it won't, and here's why. Kindle is a single-purpose device devoted to e-reading, and it does that very well. The iPad is more than a eReader. It is closer to a netbook without the fold-out screen and physical keyboard. It's also a lot more expensive and comes with a fairly pricey data plan, whereas Kindle's wireless service is free. If the iPad is going to succeed, it's going to succeed because consumers want a tablet device for everyday surfing and Internet activity to either augment or replace a laptop and not just to read books.
