Abstract: Virtual data centers must enable increased physical server use and central management of
virtual machine infrastructure. A clustered file system, with a
virtual machine manager (VMM), can add critical new management and migration capability to current
virtual servers. Before installing and configuring VMM, find out the hardware and software required for migration and integration, and helpful “how-to” pointers.

Abstract: No doubt you’ve heard of such tongue-in-cheek expressions as 'Keep it simple, stupid!' and 'It’s the economy, stupid!' However, today, the appropriate mantra for those who belong to social networks should be, 'Virtual organize it, stupid!' Find out how you can apply the principles and best practices of virtual organization management to any level of organizational structure, in combination with social networking tools.
Abstract: Virtual worlds are created for a range of purposes, including support for various industries and applications. These worlds require a distributed client-server architecture allowing applications to scale from a single-user application to a large-scale environment. However, if your developers are going to concentrate on the application of virtual environments, the hard technology problems need to be solved in advance.
Abstract: You wouldn’t be entirely wrong in assuming that the security practices and policies you apply to your physical infrastructure can be transferred to your virtual. But you need to be aware of the complications of virtual infrastructure security. Learn about a solution that can help overcome the challenges of virtual networks, to back up for disaster recovery, better consolidate your servers, and reduce energy requirements.
Abstract: Over the past five years, virtual environments have moved from “interesting” to an essential part of the IT management job description. There are as many challenges as there are benefits, and it’s important to have a plan for managing and monitoring this new environment. Learn the pitfalls of virtual monitoring and management, and how to navigate the maze of competing virtual monitoring and management vendors.
Abstract: Data center commissioning requires tight coordination between vendors, facilities, IT departments, engineers, the commissioning agent, and others. Managed properly, commissioning can deliver an unbiased evaluation of whether a new data center will succeed or not. Managed poorly, it can lead to problematic data center performance issues. Learn 10 common data center commissioning mistakes, and find out how to avoid them.
Abstract: Modern online social networks are successful and popular, and have been since the mid-1990s. The question now before us is this: what is this phenomenon and where do we go from here? Find out how online social networking and the many related user trends can impact businesses, governments, and other organizations—including virtual organizations—with a detailed account of the types of social network users.
Abstract: The exploding popularity of VMware’s server virtualization has created a corresponding demand for shared storage. However, traditional storage arrays, burdened by a legacy of addressing physical infrastructure requirements, fail to optimize the unique storage requirements of a virtual infrastructure. Find out about one storage array that meets the requirements of a next-generation virtual infrastructure storage system.
Abstract: To play any popular online computer game, all a user needs is a computer and an Internet connection. But there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes than this gamer may realize. In order to interact in a shared virtual environment, the system the user connects to requires technology capable of creating, operating, and modifying persistent, distributed, three-dimensional virtual worlds.
Abstract: Any organization that deploys multiple same-application servers with regularity could benefit from virtual appliances. Virtualization solutions eliminate the need to copy an operating system (OS) and application into each virtual environment, by creating a single, centrally installed master copy instead. It saves time on installation and enables greater levels of efficiency, manageability, flexibility, and resource use.
Abstract: With the increasing complexity of the data center and its dependent systems, data center automation (DCA) is becoming a necessity. To replace the costly and inefficient human aspect of managing the data center, IT departments must adopt DCA solutions. Combined with utility-based computing architectures, these solutions can provide greater dynamics in the environment and facilitate speed of response to market demands.
Abstract: Interaction center managers must deliver greater value on smaller budgets. But you can’t simply cut costs and services, or your customers won’t remain satisfied. To better weather the economic storm, release the untapped potential of your interaction center with software that maximizes your workforce management capabilities. Learn how to go beyond traditional channel data for bigger contact center return on investment.
Abstract: Historically, enterprise level IT tools, at enterprise level prices, have been out of reach to most small businesses. In recent years, the landscape has changed and more frequently small businesses are gaining access to enterprise level features at small business prices. One of the most talked about large-scale features in storage is the capability to use and manage virtual storage to create separate, private disks for different departments or clients. Learn about solutions that offer a simple way for for small businesses to implement virtual storage.
