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?

Cisco Offers More SDN Hints, Confirms Insieme

April 20, 2012 04:00 PM
Despite months of rumors and speculation, the networking industry's most powerful and influential vendor, Cisco Systems, is continuing to keep its plans for software-defined networking (SDN) largely to itself. In an exclusive interview during this week’s Open Networking Summit (ONS), Shashi Kiran, senior director of market management at Cisco, also an ONS member, says that OpenFlow and SDN are both so new that companies should not be deciding whether to use OpenFlow but rather how they can use OpenFlow along with other approaches.

SDN Implementations Proving Its Value

April 19, 2012 09:00 AM
"SDN is ready to go," says Kaoru Yano, chairman of the Japanese tech giant NEC to his audience at the Open Networking Summit in Silicon Valley this week. At a conference last fall on software-defined networking (SDN), many presenters spoke of the promise of SDN to bring the same type of virtualization to the network that has made server and storage IT resources more efficient. This time, presenters such as Yano described actual implementation of SDN in production data centers. Although SDN has a long way to go before it’s anything approaching mainstream technology--and many cautions about it remain--it is making demonstrable progress.

Preventing SSL Certificate Authority Breaches

April 09, 2012 09:00 AM
SSL (X.509) certificates have been the backbone of public key infrastructure and privilege management infrastructure since virtually the onset of the Worldwide Web. But in recent years, SSL certificates have been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons, with certificate authorities (CAs) from RSA to Dutch company DigiNotar suffering high-profile breaches.

Google, HP Raise Data-Center PUE Bar

April 06, 2012 09:00 AM
Running rows and rows of servers, storage appliances and networking equipment makes the electric bill a data center receives at the end of each month a whopper. That’s why data-center operators are constantly working on ways to improve energy efficiency. A couple of tech companies in Silicon Valley have reported considerable progress in improving energy efficiency, and a national organization shows the average energy efficiency also improving, though some data-center operators are having more success than others.

Private Cloud Lessons You Can't Learn From Amazon, Google, Etc

March 12, 2012 09:58 AM
Very little of what the large public cloud providers do is actually applicable to a private cloud. The reason for this is twofold: scale and application.
