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.

Adaptive Computing Addresses Converging HPC-Cloud Market

November 23, 2011 09:22 AM
After a less-than-stellar 2009, the high-performance computing industry turned in a strong showing in 2010, surging 22.4% to $25.6 billion in total product and services revenue. It will continue to grow at a 7% compound annual growth rate, reaching $36 billion in 2015 (Intersect360 Research Worldwide). HPC specialists Adaptive Computing are looking to cash in on this growth with the launch of the Torque 4.0 beta and the new Moab HPC Suite Enterprise Edition.

Aerohive's $99 Branch Office Offering Is Not A Black Friday Sale

November 21, 2011 08:22 AM
For the price of an external hard drive or a printer, you can get a complete branch office network from Aerohive Networks. We're talking wired and wireless networking here. Granted, the branch that can be serviced for under a hundred bucks is a small one, but the story is still quite interesting as part of a larger trend. Cloud-managed networking continues to get less expensive and more feature-rich, and the used-to-be-wireless-only guys are laying claim to more of the wired network in cool new ways.

CloudSigma Adds SSD Capabilities To Boost IaaS Performance

November 10, 2011 08:16 AM
In a move that is intended to provide higher performance to its IaaS clients, CloudSigma is adding SSD storage. Such higher-performance drives are particularly important when I/O operations become more random in multitenant public cloud environments because magnetic storage solutions that rely on physical spinning disks can only process thousands of I/O operations per second, leading to performance bottlenecks.

Are We Lagging In SLAs?

November 09, 2011 11:50 AM
Nearly 80% of the cloud service providers I have spoken with have told me that they either have very generic SLAs in place for their customers or that they don't have any formally stated SLAs for customers at all. On the other side of this equation, businesses engaging cloud services have also reported that, by and large, they simply sign and accept the contracts that the cloud service providers present to them. This begs the questions of whether SLA definition and adoption is lagging cloud services.adoption—and whether it is OK if it does.

Blue Coat Targets ROBO WAN Optimization, Security Via The Cloud

November 09, 2011 08:27 AM
Blue Coat Systems is enhancing its MACH5 WAN optimization and virtual appliances so that remote office/branch office (ROBO) customers can apply Web security from Blue Coat Cloud Service to enable "branch-to-cloud" direct Internet access rather than back haul Internet traffic to and from the corporate data center. A branch-to-cloud topology lowers networking costs and speeds access to cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications, says the company.
