In the last few years, businesses have changed the way they protect data. Studies show they’re abandoning traditional backup and recovery in favor of disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS).1 With DRaaS, businesses enjoy the luxury of keeping a replica of their data hosted at a remote site that they can fail over to in an emergency—without bearing any of the infrastructure costs or maintenance responsibilities.

Simple is STILL Better: Embrace Speed & Simplicity for a competitive edge

Customers’ embrace of the web and smart phones creates massive new data sets, many of them unstructured or semi-structured. These include opinions, preferences, chat and email transcripts, and web clickstreams. The hardware and software technologies underpinning first generation warehouses were not designed to manage data at today’s volume or variety. While coercing older technologies to satisfy new demands may be possible, the results are inefficient and burdened with unplanned, unnecessary costs.

PureData System for Analytics has been designed, integrated and optimized to deliver data services to today's demanding applications with simplicity, speed and lower cost.

Best Practices for SaaS Adoption in the Enterprise

Traditional enterprise performance management solutions were designed for applications running inside the corporate network and are unable to provide visibility beyond the corporate network perimeter. With the rapid adoption of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications by enterprises, these performance management solutions that are completely blind to issues outside the enterprise, are unable to help IT teams troubleshoot performance problems with the SaaS applications.

Platform-as-a-service, DevOps, and Application Integration

An introduction to delivering applications faster

Application demands are increasing, but the availability of resources is not. Pressure from internal and external customers to create more apps faster is generating a need for new processes and methods. Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offers many benefits across IT organisations. Developers gain the freedom to focus on coding, while IT operations maintains control without having to manage spin-up environments.

This eBook illustrates how PaaS, combined with application integration technology such as Red Hat® JBoss® Fuse can reduce application delivery costs, increase application reliability and developer productivity.

Making IT Relevant Again

One of the main drivers of large, global enterprises is the increased use of SaaS applications. These applications are cheaper than on-premises solutions and can be ramped up faster, but have yielded three key impacts on high-transaction businesses—increasing bandwidth demands, loss of IT control and the need for more effective monitoring tools.

In this whitepaper, we will discuss the IT challenges inherent to tech-dependent, high-transaction, multi-location organizations and the key to making IT relevant again—a comprehensive application performance monitoring (APM) solution.

Explore the Benefits of Switching to Perceptive Document Filters

Content extraction and file format conversion are key behind-the-scenes capabilities for many enterprise and personal software solutions. These capabilities, though, are not core competencies for most independent software vendors (ISVs), developers, or cloud solution providers. Rather than investing heavily in time and resources to build their own tools, it often makes better business sense to partner with a best-in-class content extraction and file format conversion provider.

Lexmark Enterprise Software is both a preferred and proven enterprise choice. Many factors contribute to the choice of a best-in-class OEM software technology provider. These factors typically include technical capabilities, reliability and performance, as well as business considerations, such as licensing terms and vendor responsiveness.

Switching providers is a serious matter that requires a business case based on benefits and costs. This document explains why Perceptive Document Filters is a preferred file conversion and extraction technology provider, maps evaluation and implementation steps, and provides justification for the decision to upgrade from either a current provider, or from a do-it-yourself approach—to Perceptive Document Filters.

Learn here how your software product can benefit from Document Filters and why IBM, Cisco and EMC choose Document Filters.
