EMA Radar Summary
Hybrid cloud, DevOps, big data and digitalization are driving a need for more sophisticated workload automation, which underpins the consistent delivery of traditional and cutting edge workloads. Modern workloads require more sophistication; data is collected from a greater variety of sources, and the success or failure of job streams can be directly exposed to both business users and customers. Significant enhancements in workload automation (WLA) tools have been added in recent years to address these trends. This Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) RADAR report identifies the thirteen leading WLA platforms and empirically compares and grades them against a broad range of measurements to determine overall product strengths and cost efficiencies.

Lessons Learned Deploying Microsoft Private Cloud at Scale
Have you started down the path to architecting and deploying a Microsoft Private Cloud using Microsoft Server with Hyper-V and Windows Azure Pack?
Have you selected which applications would be best suited for Private Cloud? Do you understand the implications of scale as your application grows?
Watch as industry experts discuss strategies for overcoming design, deployment, and monitoring challenges in a Microsoft Cloud Platform environment. They examine real-life situations in which Rackspace architected and deployed Microsoft Private Cloud at scale, across multiple geographies. You'll get first-hand what Red Hat has learned along the way, such as how to approach the integration of Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) functionality, designing resilient architectures and failover, as well as building for scale. At the end you will hear about the future of Microsoft Cloud Platform with the advent of Microsoft Azure Stack. Register to watch the webcast now.

BC/DR in the Cloud Era: Options and Challenges
In this paper, we will discuss the different types of Cloud BC/DR solutions and the challenges faced by both customers and Cloud Service Providers (CSP) prior to Zerto Virtual Replication (ZVR). Then we will discuss how ZVR addresses these challenges and improves upon many of the traditional
solutions.
Zerto performed a similar exercise when creating Zerto Virtual Replication. We first assessed the state of the industry, and then developed a solution to not only meet, but also exceed the required capabilities of both the consumer and the provider for cloud-based disaster recovery.
5 Things Your Spreadsheets Can’t Do
For many, Excel is the go-to analysis tool of choice. As useful as it can be, for delivering real insight from big data, spreadsheets simply won’t provide all of the answers you seek. Read this whitepaper to learn five critical ways go beyond spreadsheets to get more from your data.
In this whitepaper, you’ll learn about:
• Using all of your data, no matter how big or where it lives
• Seeing the complete picture with data blending and cleaning
• Four powerful ways to improve data visualizations
• Fast, interactive and shareable dashboards
• Real-time data and automatic updates

In-Memory Databases Put the Action in Actionable Insights
In order to derive business value from Big Data, practitioners must have the means to quickly (as in sub-milliseconds) analyze data, derive actionable insights from that analysis, and execute the recommended actions. While Hadoop is ideal for storing and processing large volumes of data affordably, it is less suited to this type of real-time operational analytics, or Inline Analytics. For these types of workloads, a different style of computing is required. The answer is in-memory databases.
Follow the Money: Big Data ROI and Inline Analytics
Wikibon conducted in-depth interviews with organizations that had achieved Big Data success and high rates of returns. These interviews determined an important generality: that Big Data winners focused on operationalizing and automating their Big Data projects. They used Inline Analytics to drive algorithms that directly connected to and facilitated automatic change in the operational systems-of-record. These algorithms were usually developed and supported by data tables derived using Deep Data Analytics from Big Data Hadoop systems and/or data warehouses. Instead of focusing on enlightening the few with pretty historical graphs, successful players focused on changing the operational systems for everybody and managed the feedback and improvement process from the company as a whole.
Data science methodology: Best practices for successful implementations
Often, data scientists construct a model to predict outcomes or discover underlying patterns, with the goal of gaining insights. The flow of IBM's data science methodology ensures that as data scientists learn more about the data and the modeling, they can return to a previous stage to make adjustments, iterate quickly and provide continuous value to the organization.
IDC Whitepaper: NetApp All Flash FAS: Die Performance von Flash mit der Vielseitigkeit von Enterprise Storage
Das von IDC veröffentlichte Whitepaper behandelt schwerpunktmäßig das strategische Angebot von NetApp und die große Auswahl, die das Unternehmen zu bieten hat. Die Unterstützung von NetApp für Hybridinfrastrukturen – bei Bedarf auch einschließlich der Cloud – ist eine Grundsatzfrage, die im Produktangebot deutlich sichtbar wird. Innerhalb dieser Infrastruktur bietet NetApp ein Portfolio breitgefächerter Lösungen unterschiedlicher All-Flash- und Hybrid-Flash-Arrays, um Flash genau dort einzusetzen, wo es gemessen an Geschäftszielen, Bedürfnissen und vorherrschenden Bedingungen im Kundenunternehmen am sinnvollsten ist. NetApp denkt weiter. Im Unterschied zu vielen Mainstream-Anbietern hat NetApp nicht einfach nur ein oder zwei SSD-Varianten in sein Storage-Angebot aufgenommen, sondern liefert seit Jahren bahnbrechende Lösungen mit Flash.
Evaluator Group: Strategische Investitionen in All-Flash-Arrays
Für Kunden, die Flash-Systeme für primären Datacenter Storage implementieren möchten, bietet das All-Flash FAS System von NetApp erhebliche Vorteile gegenüber anderen Angeboten. All-Flash FAS Arrays lassen sich beispielsweise jetzt nur für bestimmte Applikationen implementieren und später auf private oder Hybrid Cloud-basierte Applikationen ausweiten – ganz so, wie es die Langzeit-Strategie der Unternehmens-IT vorsieht. Gewinnen Sie in diesem Papier technologischen Einblick für strategische Investitionen in All-Flash-Arrays.
