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.

Porticor's Safe-Deposit Box Strategy Balances Data Control And Security In The Cloud

February 16, 2012 09:00 AM

HP Serves Up Multivendor Cloud Management

February 14, 2012 11:00 AM
As more and more businesses make their way into the cloud, the ability to manage various suppliers becomes far more complex--especially for large enterprises. Another issue for IT is that business groups are rapidly adopting cloud services, often independent from their IT. Procurement of cloud services from external suppliers by such business groups is creating "supplier sprawl," which obscures IT’s visibility into all cloud services and suppliers.

Riverbed's Granite Virtualizes Branch Office Storage

February 10, 2012 09:00 AM
When Riverbed and others brought WAN acceleration to the market around the turn of the century, many of us hoped that with WAN acceleration we could pull the servers, and the headaches they cause, from branch offices. Unfortunately, many organizations found reasons to keep servers in the branches. Riverbed's new Granite appliance allows organizations to keep servers in their branch offices while eliminating many of the headaches through what Riverbed's calling Edge Virtual Server Infrastructure.

Encryption, Data-Centric Approach Needed To Secure Cloud, Mobile Users

dinCloud: Making a Big Impact in the Cloud

February 06, 2012 09:00 AM
Have you reached the saturation point yet on the cloud? The endless cacophony of cloud messages seems to have transformed into white noise, where trying to distinguish and differentiate among competitive cloud offerings can leave one in either a state of decision-making paralysis or trusting that familiar vendors know what they're talking about without, perhaps, the full measure of due diligence that is appropriate. Enter dinCloud, which plans to break through the droning blather and show how its approach to cloud is different.
