Forrester Report – Strategically Locate Your Next Data Center

Are your business systems, applications and content close to where your customers are? If not, then you have an opportunity to rethink your data center’s location to deliver the best customer experience possible ‐ and colocation can play an important role.

Gartner – Use Colocation Networking

Colocation has evolved from simple space and power to become a key element in enterprise networking. Beyond simply connecting compute assets to the enterprise, colocation networking can enable new business models, support the move to hosting and the cloud, and reshape the enterprise WAN.

Gartner – Communication Hubs Improve WAN Performance

The cloud is impacting WAN architectures. IT leaders looking to use a cloud-based infrastructure and/or application services, especially high-bandwidth, real-time voice and video over Internet Protocol applications, should strategically locate communications hubs outside the enterprise data center.

Tableau Metadata Model

The first layer of abstraction is the Connection. The Connection stores information about how to access the data and what data to make available to Tableau. The connection attributes for the database, the tables, views and columns to use, and any joins or custom SQL used to access the data. To support true ad hoc analysis, Tableau does not require that all fields, tables or joins be included in the initial connection. This allows users to get started with a simple connection and change it as needed to include more fields or tables.

Unfettered Mobility: Driving the International Extended Enterprise

Organisations are increasingly international in both their outlook and their operations. Despite these developments, international workers continue to be impeded by their organisations' approaches to mobility.

IDC research highlights that when working internationally, employees make a distinct change in their communication preferences, becoming less available and less collaborative. This impacts both productivity and job satisfaction.

This whitepaper outlines the learnings that can be implemented in mobile policies by senior decision makers who are responsible for managing telecommunications across the globe.

Unfettered Mobility: Research Highlights

Organisations are increasingly international in both their outlook and their operations. This is being driven by developments in the global economy and the search for new partners, as well as access to travel and communications. As a result, businesses are making greater use of a global network of customers, suppliers and partners. IDC refers to this network as the International Extended Enterprise.

Unfettered Mobility: Driving the International Extended Enterprise

Over half (52%) communicate with international customers, partners and colleagues several times a day, but were less likely to travel and meet them in person. In fact, 40% travel just once or twice a year, in comparison with the 28% average across all respondents.
