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.

Aruba Networks Swings Big At BYOD And More With ClearPass

February 21, 2012 09:00 AM
Gone are the days of simply providing good signal in the WLAN environment. Guest requirements, the new reality of the BYOD--or bring your own device--model and increasing reliance on the wireless network as a critical resource combine to make life complicated for us in the business of enterprise wireless networking. Aruba Networks is ready to answer the back-end challenges of contemporary wireless with its new ClearPass framework, and the impressive array of features is not limited to use by Aruba customers.

Shared Data Plans Will Have Significant Impact

January 10, 2012 06:01 AM
As the major U.S. carriers get closer to unleashing shared data plans for mobile devices, it’s worth noting how this change in offering will likely impact both the private and corporate sides of the mobile client world. Smartphones and tablets have already been profoundly disruptive in a number of ways, and new multidevice data plans will only magnify the effect.

Ignoring BYOD Spells Disaster!

December 22, 2011 09:59 AM
Last week in a blog titled "BYOD--Bring Your Own Disaster," I urged caution and scope for BYOD projects. This week I'm playing devil's advocate with myself. A conversation with Greg Knieriemen got me thinking of the consequences of ignoring BYOD. Let's dive into the risk of burying your head in the sand and ignoring the BYOD push.

BYOD: Bring Your Own Disaster

December 14, 2011 08:27 AM
In keeping with the tradition of the last three to five years, 2012 is being touted by analysts and vendors alike as "the year for VDI." This year there is a slightly new twist to the hype and marketing, and that's Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). It's a simple concept: Employees own devices that they like to use and are most productive on; IT should support the apps and services used to run the business on the employees' devices.

ISACA Survey Looks At Online Shopping At Work, Shows Worrisome Side Of Mobility And BYOD

November 16, 2011 09:08 AM
I'm generally not big on survey results when it comes to drawing hard conclusions about IT matters, but occasionally the right data set hooks you. Given that we're fast approaching the thick of the online holiday shopping season, ISACA's recent "Shopping on The Job" survey tickled my curiosity. Even though I don't see many smoking guns in the results, I do find it interesting to be privy to how more than 1,200 U.S. consumers in an increasingly mobile world see their own use of company time and resources when the shopping bug hits.

Meru Network Embraces BYOD, Offers Beefy New Hardware

October 27, 2011 07:00 AM
Lately, the solutions I've analyzed through the lens of BYOD have usually had something to do with smartphone and application management. But Wi-Fi vendors are also well aware of the procedural and technical complexities spawned by clients that show up with all sorts of gadgets that need to simply work on the WLAN. Meru Networks has recently introduced a new feature set for its WLAN product line that helps with BYOD and other aspects of today's changing wireless landscape.

Yes, Virginia, RAID Drives Are Different

February 01, 2011 09:30 AM
While some other members of the storage industry's chattering class enjoy the process of haranguing array vendors for their seemingly outrageous disk drive markups, I've started recommending that users seeking cost-effective online storage look at BYOD (bring your own drive) storage systems. There are many choices available, from prosumer Data Robotics offerings and SOHO network-attached storage (NAS) boxes from NetGear and QNAP Systems to disk arrays with enterprise aspirations provided by Promise Technology and Infortrend. However, care must be taken when choosing the drives for a BYOD array.
