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.
This webinar will help attendees understand the overall concept of SDN and its benefits, describe the different conceptual approaches to SDN, and examine the various technologies, both proprietary and open source, that are emerging. It will also help users decide whether SDN makes sense in their environment, and outline the first steps IT can take for testing SDN technologies.
Symbian's goal of lowering the cost of developing of phones is a meritorious one. Although Symbian has enjoyed great success worldwide, its penetration within the U.S. market has been low. Americans are much more price-conscious than their global counterparts; decreasing the price of Symbian-based phones may help Symbian enjoy increased success in the U.S. market. Device-memory enhancements will help Nokia, Sony Ericcson and others develop feature phones with lower memory requirements. Meanwhile, enterprise-class devices should gain performance benefits with a more efficient OS, enabling more complex applications. Also important are new features in the network stack, allowing more efficient Wi-Fi to 3G roaming and better prioritization of VoIP. Both features will be important as dual-mode phones start to make their way into enterprises' Vo-Fi deployments. Sean Ginevan NWC Contributing Editor
Symbian debuted a new version of its smartphone operating system this week that promises to improve system performance and support the latest device features while reducing memory, processor and battery capacity requirements.
Symbian OS 9.5 includes memory-optimization capabilities, such as demand paging and automatic RAM de-fragmentation, which the company claims can cut RAM requirements by more than 25 percent. This makes it possible for users to run more applications simultaneously, Symbian said.
