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.

Considering Skype For The Enterprise

August 17, 2010 11:00 AM
I recently wrote about how Skype is going to be using the revenue generated from the IPO to attack the business market. The company does a good job highlighting its penetration into fringe business cases--mobility and international calling--and emerging business cases, such as video calling, but perceptions of Skype as prone to security and other problems have been a barrier to enterprise-grade use. Should you consider Skype for enterprise-wide deployment? Let's discuss.

Cloud Communications Services Put PBX To Pasture

August 16, 2010 09:00 AM
Arguing that business communications is about more than just voice, providers of cloud-based communications services say the traditional office-based PBX phone system is a thing of the past. Cloud communications services deliver integrated voice, video, text, chat and other forms of communications to customers without those customers having to make a capital investment in purchasing equipment to do that themselves. It offers the same advantages of cloud computing in general, which also include paying only for as much of the service as is used, scalable capacity, better reliability and the avoidance of maintenance costs.

He was bullish, as you'd expect, about their prospects to penetrate business, and went through detailed plans on how Skype for Business would succeed in business communications.
