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.

Microsoft, Others Closing In On VMware In Server Virtualization Market

May 03, 2012 10:00 AM
VMware has long ruled the server virtualization market. Learn how Microsoft, Citrix and KVM may change and have already helped level pricing.

Will VM Pricing Topple VMware Juggernaut?

April 26, 2012 11:00 AM
The virtualization market continues to heat up, exceeding expectations across the board for servers, desktops and appliances. However, will licensing and pricing concerns, along with competition, derail the growth of industry giant VMware?

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.

Microsoft, Citrix And KVM Continue To Erode VMware's Virtualization Domination

My Next Data Center: Server Console Access

September 23, 2010 10:00 AM
Over the years, I've used a wide variety of systems to access and manage the servers in the various data centers I've worked in. At the turn of the century we used CRT monitors and standard keyboards and mice on rack shelves with single user analog KVM (keyboard, video, Mouse) switches. Today most of the mid-market data centers I work in have pull out LCD consoles with touchpads in each rack, but I'm starting to think it's time for a big change.

What Should I Use In The New DeepStorage Lab?

January 11, 2010 06:35 PM
The powers that be have decreed that it's time to move the DeepStorage lab. While our data center is minuscule compared to one at Google, or even the average Fortune 500 company, the fact it's a testing lab means we're performing MACs (Moves, Adds and Changes) much more than a well-run user organization should. As we move into the new lab I'm looking to include all the gadgets and software tools I can afford to both simplify the process of reconfiguring the lab to test some amazing new storage thingamabob and enable as much remote work as possible.
