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.

Dealing With The Vendor End-Around

September 20, 2010 01:24 PM
In his recent blog, Mike Workman, CEO of Pillar Data Systems, offers an example of what is commonly called the "end-around." This is when a larger vendor will leverage a relationship at the VP or CxO level to stop a lower level person from selecting a more innovative product from a new and smaller vendor. Instead of getting stung by this tactic, there are steps that you can take as the IT Manager, project manager or even the evaluator to keep it from happening.
