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.

Red Hat Rebrands, Reconfigures Virtual Storage Appliance For Amazon AWS

Less than four months after its acquisition by Red Hat, Gluster, now known as the Red Hat storage unit, is announcing new storage products. The Red Hat Virtual Storage Appliance for Amazon Web Services (AWS), announced this week, is essentially a rebranding of the Gluster product, or what the company refers to as "baselined." This means that it now uses the Red Hat Linux open-source operating system rather than the CentOS operating system it had used previously, and it has also been retested and re-certified. In addition, it now supports a new file system option, the Extensible File System (XFS).

Replay Director 3.1 Makes Fault Isolation Easy

August 17, 2010 10:29 AM
Replay Solutions Inc. has added log amplification and defect searching to its Replay Director 3.1, an application monitoring and software debugging product. Replay Director watches while an application runs in real time and logs what actions the application performs and what the results were. Replay calls this "log amplification," which lets users recreate any level of logs, even if the application log data was not originally generated. This is particularly useful for intermittent events where the event can't be reproduced, making it impossible to go back and capture debug or trace-level logs.
