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.

Citrix Gives CloudStack To The Apache Software Foundation

April 03, 2012 09:05 AM
Less than a year after acquiring Cloud.com, Citrix is sending CloudStack, the open-source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines as a highly available, scalable cloud computing platform, to the Apache Software Foundation Incubation program, joining such as OpenOffice and Wave, which was spun out from Google. Citrix will continue to sell and support a commercial CloudStack offering, and there is no change in pricing or support. Last year's cloud announcement, Project Olympus, the company's commercial implementation of OpenStack, is at an end. This marks another twisting turn in Citrix' path in cloud software.

Riverbed Virtualizes Cascade

January 31, 2012 09:00 AM
As use of IT grows in enterprises, so, too, do demands on networks to deliver more capacity and speed and to be able to prioritize traffic. Video gets priority over a simple email, but a VoIP call gets priority over video if the video in question is something frivolous on YouTube. The need to manage the growth and increasing complexity of networks is driving demand for network performance management technology that can monitor traffic, identify possible bottlenecks and intervene to clear bottlenecks up.
