Tiptoeing Through Virtualization Licensing Minefield
April 24, 2012 11:00 AM
Virtualization is still gaining steam in data center, and it is moving to the desktop, as well. However, many IT managers are finding that they have to tiptoe around licensing issues and deal with vendors independently to secure the best deal and not break the law.Speed, Agility, Not Cost Reduction, Drive Cloud
April 13, 2012 11:00 AM
Large enterprises that have moved toward a virtualized network infrastructure are now beginning to look at adopting private clouds, a trend that is moving from hype to actual deployments this year, says Tom Bittman, a VP and analyst with Gartner Research.PCIe Encroaching On SAN Space
April 11, 2012 01:00 PM
As enterprises struggle with the need to expand their network resources while working within budget constraints, Modular PCIe is being viewed as a low-cost alternative to expensive SAN infrastructure. But don’t rule out SAN completely yet, storage industry watchers say.There's More To Enterprise SSDs Than Just Speed
April 10, 2012 11:06 AM
Year-on-year, enterprise implementation of solid-state has doubled, analysts say. SSD benefits range from durability – supposedly up to 40-year lifespans – to space and power savings, in addition to the old standby, they're much faster than mechanical (HDD) devices. In the second part of this series, the vendor implications will be examined.Where Do Hypervisors Go From Here?
April 05, 2012 09:00 AM
The history of the personal computer is a series of wars--operating system wars, network OS wars, browser wars and then virtualization wars. But while virtualization at first followed the lead of the OS in battles between hypervisors, such as VMWare’s vSphere and Microsoft’s Hyper-V, virtualization is increasingly following the leads of the other pieces of infrastructure before it and is enabling user organizations to set up heterogeneous virtualization networks by supporting multiple hypervisors.Infoblox Automates Network Virtualization Changes
April 03, 2012 11:00 AM
Infoblox has introduced a new platform to automate the previously manual process of making network changes associated with virtualization deployments. The launch of its automation offering is accompanied by the release of an Infoblox-backed industry survey that shows communication and collaboration across various IT silos, including servers, storage, networking and software, is sorely lacking.Big Switch Unveils 'Open' SDN Architecture
March 20, 2012 11:00 AM
Big Switch Networks, which is considered an early leader in the push for software-defined networking (SDN) based on the Open Flow protocol, is putting its own stake in the ground, declaring its commitment to open standards in developing new technology to bring virtualization to networking environments. This week, to mark its second anniversary, the company announced its Open SDN (a trademarked term) architecture based on 'three pillars' of open standards, open APIs and open source.Next-Gen Networking Drives IT Budgets
March 20, 2012 10:10 AM
Vice President Joe Biden once said, "Don't tell me your values, show me your budget and I'll tell you your values." If the vice president saw the enterprise IT spending budgets, he would rightly conclude that they place an increasingly higher value on their networks as the critical circulation system for all of their IT assets. As demands are placed on networks to handle more video traffic, migrate to 10GbE connectivity, connect mobile and wireless devices, and handle the increase in data traffic brought about by virtualization, companies are investing significantly in their networks in 2012.Add Smarts To IT With Predictive Analytics
March 09, 2012 09:00 AM
While adoption of predictive analytics systems is still relatively modest, the promise they hold--giving companies a quick and logical way to make use of unstructured or big data in order to provide preemptive warning of failure, among other things--is prompting vendors to embed the functionality in their larger management consoles and application performance management systems.Acronis vmProtect 7 Tightens vSphere Integration
March 06, 2012 09:00 AM
Following six months on the heels of the previous version, which was launched at VMworld 2011, Acronis is releasing the latest version of its small business/branch office virtualization solution for backup and recovery, vmProtect 7. vmProtect 6 was designed to be a fast, light and easy-to-install-and-use backup and recovery product that made use of Acronis’ long-standing relationship with VMware. It was designed to be optimized for vSphere, but according to Seth Goodling, Americas virtualization practice manager at Acronis, vmProtect 7 has been more tightly integrated into VMware vSphere.« Previous Page | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | Next Page »
