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.

Cachengo Offers Premises/Cloud Backups For SMBs

January 29, 2010 09:30 AM
Startup Cachengo has launched a hybrid storage service that combines on-site file-sharing and backup appliances with an optional cloud storage service for resiliency and disaster recovery. The on-site appliances, called Directors, act as file servers to let users share and swap documents and other files. Director appliances support CIFS, NFS and iSCSI and can integrate with Active Directory and LDAP to support user authentication to files. The appliances also serve as a disk-to-disk backup platform for PCs and servers, including all data, OS and applications. Cachengo says Director can restore a PC or server from bare metal. In addition, all Directors are pre-provisioned to connect to off-site storage hosted by Cachengo. Customers can switch on this option to have a second copy for disaster recovery or simply peace of mind.

Hybrid Clouds: The Best Of Both Worlds?

December 11, 2009 08:30 AM
While some of the greatest enterprise activity of late has focused on augmenting data centers with cloud services, there's need for even SMBs to be able selectively leverage the accessibility and availability of the cloud. The Egnyte Local Cloud on NAS does just that, letting IT use the cloud and local storage. Data stored on-premise NAS devices is synchronized with Egnyte's hosted cloud servers. Corporate users can access cloud-based files at gigabit speeds while local files remain accessible from anywhere in the world.

Cloud Storage Stability

August 19, 2009 12:28 PM
Every week or so one major internet service or another goes down for a moment, Amazon S3, Google Apps, Twitter etc... As a result I get a few emails using this as proof that the cloud is not reliable for business storage. While I agree that various providers have to improve their uptime, this does not mean that the whole cloud needs to be thrown out.
