Workload Change: The 70 Percent of Your Business DevOps Forgot

Organizations that have successfully integrated workload automation (WLA) into their software development lifecycle have seen substantial benefits. So why is WLA, also referred to as job scheduling or batching processing, largely missing from the DevOps discussion? Adding WLA early in the development process ensures that the benefits of DevOps accrue for all applications, including your batch services. This paper explores the benefits in greater detail and explores possible ways to remedy the situation.

Common Pitfalls in Implementing Application Performance Management

On an ever-increasing basis, the typical organization’s core business processes rely on a combination of applications and the supporting IT infrastructure. In most cases, when a core business process is not performing well, the company loses revenue and the perceived value of the IT organization is diminished. An application performance management system can help, but is has to be the right solution. The goal of this white paper is to describe seven common pitfalls that IT organizations need to be aware of and to avoid when implementing application performance management solutions.

APM Essentials: Navigating the maze of EUE Solutions

Application ecosystems have become more complex and the value of Application Performance Management (APM) has shifted from the application to the transaction. The transaction is no longer confined by the application and can traverse multiple composite applications before being displayed on the user’s device. For this reason, transaction monitoring has become user-centric and more sophisticated.

This white paper by leading analyst firm EMA, offers clarity to these discussions, giving readers additional insight and a starting point for selecting the solution that best meets their needs.

Why Everyone Needs to Own Customer Experience in the Application Economy

VMware vSphere Backups: What are you Missing?

Backups used to be easy. Just check the time stamp or the archive bit. If it changed, then back up the file.

Suddenly virtualization became popular, as did server applications. The unstructured data inside files and folders found itself sharing the datacenter with all manner of applications and databases. Virtual machines (VMs) joined physical machines as the method of delivering IT services.

Data Deduplication in Windows Server 2012 R2 in Depth

Data deduplication has been around for years and comes in many forms. Most people think about expensive storage arrays when they talk about deduplication but that is certainly not the only type of data deduplication technology.

This white paper examines the data deduplication technology embedded in Windows Server 2012 R2 and the benefits it can bring to your environment. The discussion includes how it works and the possible scenarios for using Windows Server 2012 R2 data deduplication.
