Offshoring Is a Cost Effective Solution to Your IT Needs

This white paper discusses the growing demand for IT security auditing and why current approaches-manual procedures, scripts, and network vulnerability scanners- fail.

What is Agile? How can Agile help improve my organization? This paper discusses answers to these questions. This paper is written for IT managers and CXOs with an interest in improving development productivity.

Real Case Studies - Maintaining and Upgrading a Legacy Data Center Webcast

New technologies emerge every day, but not all of them pay off, and adopting them too early might be risky for your organization.

Despite progress in delivering IT as a service, providing up-to-date enterprise software flawlessly and rapidly to the business remains massively challenging for in-house teams.

Application Performance Management & End User Experience Monitoring Platform for Fortune 500/Global 2000

Ultra High Speed Internet, TV and local/long distance phone services combined into 1 superior service.

Today's lean, more tightly-regulated economy and the ever-increasing importance of IT have many organizations caught in a bind. On one hand, reliable access to power is vital to keeping data centers operational, and the costs associated with loss of power can be devastating. On the other hand, IT departments are being asked to get more done with less money even as energy rates continue to rise.

Absolute Software has announced it has completed its acquisition of the LANrev systems management platform. Absolute plans to integrate LANrev's popular Mac and PC lifecycle configuration management technology with its flagship security and asset management suite, Computrace.

User Customization & Configuration in Software-as-a-Service Deployments

This whitepaper explains step-by-step how you can deploy a complete Snow Leopard disk image to a Mac OS X computer, even while it is being used. No immediate boot from a server, FireWire drive, or boot DVD is necessary, and no pre-configuration of the target computer is required.

In the broadening data center cost-saving and energy efficiency discussion, data center physical infrastructure preventive maintenance (PM) is sometimes neglected as an important tool for controlling TCO and downtime. PM is performed specifically to prevent faults from occurring. IT and facilities managers can improve systems uptime through a better understanding of PM best practices.

Use the IDS Low Administration ROI tool to assess potential savings and expenses in deploying IBM Informix Dynamic Server 11.

We need to move away from the current environment in which data is treated as separate from (and subservient to) applications and business process-which may require a cultural shift within the IT department.

The complexity and size of networks are increasing dramatically. This is placing new demands on network operators to deploy networks in an affordable and effective manner. NETCONF is a new IETF standard that is redefining the way in which network devices are configured using a highly-scalable, XML-based, machine-to-machine protocol. This webinar will provide a technological update on NETCONF.

The NETCONF protocol is a modern building block for device management automation, offering a unified approach to network configuration, rather than a device-specific methodology. To equipment vendors, NETCONF is a way to standardize the management interface of network elements. To service providers, NETCONF is a way to optimize the administrative workflow, by moving management intelligence out of the device under management, and consolidating this management into higher-level applications.

This whitepaper describes how NETCONF and YANG can help drastically simplify network configuration management. The IETF has recently standardized the NETCONF configuration management protocol and is currently in the process of standardizing a NETCONF-oriented data modeling language called YANG. These two new technologies promise to drastically simplify network configuration management.

IT Managers are tasked with making the desktop environment more secure and locked down to a uniform corporate standard, yet flexible enough to handle the myriad of exceptions that arise across the enterprise. Centralized Configuration Management (CCM) tools are great, especially in environments with branch offices. But CCM tools can’t do the big job of making your environment inherently more secure or more flexible.
