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.

Akamai, Riverbed Shrink SaaS App Latency

March 01, 2012 09:00 AM
One of the dirty little secrets of software as a service (SaaS) is how long it takes to get the service. A request for access to a SaaS application travels from the client device, across the corporate WAN, across the public Internet to the SaaS provider's data center where the app is hosted--and back--so a lot of time is spent making the connection, not to mention the hundreds or thousands of round trips made in just one session in which the app is being used. Application delivery platform provider Akamai Technologies has partnered with WAN optimization provider Riverbed Technology to include their technologies in each other's products to improve the performance of SaaS applications.

Private WANs For Better Performance

November 05, 2010 10:00 AM
The explosion of transaction traffic, large files, mobile devices and rich media, coupled with carrier bandwidth throttling are filling up Internet WAN connections and contribute to WAN slowdowns. Companies have combated these problems by localizing large files at remote branches, and setting specific schedules for when these files can be transferred elsewhere and by setting quality of service prioritizing some traffic over others. Unfortunately, the continuing demand for high throughput transactions, and the evolution of large data and rich media files as mission critical data payloads, no longer make these strategies foolproof practice. Companies that require better performance for their businesses are rediscovering an age old solution: building their own private networks.
