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.

The BYOD Security Dilemma

March 29, 2012 01:00 PM
The Information Security Forum this week released a report titled 'Threat Horizon 2014' that looks at the continued global threat to computer networks, businesses and individuals from cybercrime. But one section of the report also looks at 'Internal Threats', which at first glance would seem like another discussion about malicious insiders who attack the network because they’re disgruntled. In fact, the Internal Threats identified in this report are from new technology that comes into an organization, sometimes presenting security issues its advocates weren’t aware of. A case in point is BYOD.

Shared Data Plans Will Have Significant Impact

January 10, 2012 06:01 AM
As the major U.S. carriers get closer to unleashing shared data plans for mobile devices, it’s worth noting how this change in offering will likely impact both the private and corporate sides of the mobile client world. Smartphones and tablets have already been profoundly disruptive in a number of ways, and new multidevice data plans will only magnify the effect.

The Mighty Pen Will Change How We Do Mobile

December 06, 2011 08:49 AM
I remember getting my first stylus-equipped handheld computing devices. Back in the salad days of my multitouch input youth, a plastic-tipped pencil-looking thing that made chunky letters was slick stuff. Fast forward to today, and the tea leaves tell us that we may be on the edge of a new pen and multitouch input technology explosion, enabled by slick "active pens" that are a far cry from stylus devices of old.

Fat Apps Are Where It's At

November 23, 2011 11:52 AM
Virtual desktop infrastructure, or VDI, is seeing something of a revival lately due to the increased penetration of mobile tablets. Why lug a laptop around that has a short battery life and takes forever to load when you can use a lighter, more responsive tablet? If you can get your desktop on your tablet, all the better, right? No. Not at all. More over, server-based desktop applications, such as those served from the likes of Citrix XenApp and VMware ThinApp, or just the UI components. We need need fat apps.
