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.

Network the 'Next Big Thing' For Virtualization?

April 27, 2012 11:00 AM
The concept of network virtualization seems to be gaining a lot of momentum across an industry that has virtualized most anything to do with IT. Can the same successes be applied to the networking market, transforming how systems communicate and revolutionizing infrastructure by abstracting the physical network from the demands of applications?

Broadcom Enables Programmable 100-GbE Switches

April 25, 2012 09:00 AM

HP: When 'Good' Security News Isn't

April 23, 2012 09:00 AM
HP is just the latest in a long list of security vendors touting its comprehensive cyber security report showing what the most recent threats are, how they’ve changed and--sometimes subtly, sometimes not--how their security technology can protect you. But its study is another illustration of how the tech industry is constantly playing catchup with the criminals. HP’s report also illustrates how seemingly good news can turn out to be bad.
