Ein erster Blick auf Windows Server 2012 R2 und Hyper-V

Lange Zeit galt Windows Server als solide Serverplattform, doch in Bereichenwie der Virtualisierung kann es nicht mehr mit den Konkurrenzprodukten mithalten. Als Microsoft Windows Server 2012 konzipierte, bestand eines der Hauptziele darin, einen Hypervisor zu kreieren, der gleichwertig mit den Angeboten von VMware sein sollte. Microsoft hat dieses Ziel weitestgehend erfüllt (und in einigen Bereichen sogar übertroffen), dennoch blieb weiterhin Spielraum für Verbesserungen. Der bald erhältliche Windows Server 2012 R2 soll diese Lücken in Windows Server 2012 nun schließen.

Automatisierung für das Rechenzentrum

Die Arbeits- und Denkweise eines IT-Administrators unterscheidet sich heutzutage erheblich von der vor einigen Jahren.

Zur gleichen Zeit müssen IT-Profis einen hochwertigen Service anbieten und das unter einem strengeren Budget als früher. Diesem Wandel liegen mehrere Ursachen zugrunde.

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.

Application Server TCO comparison: WebSphere vs JBoss

When considering open source, in most cases it is not the ability to modify source code that is attractive to customers, but the perceived cost savings that open source can offer. While the easiest and most obvious costs to calculate are acquisition costs, often overlooked are the far reaching effects that your choice of application server can have on other areas such as management, administration, training, hardware, and lost opportunity due to unexpected downtime. Learn the facts of TCO and performance in this comparison of IBM WebSphere Application Server to Redhat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP).

A New Approach to Malware Defense

For years, enterprises have relied on endpoint defenses like anti-virus software to detect and disable malware. But that approach—which relies on signatures of known attacks—has failed to stop targeted attacks. Anonymous proxy networks like Tor provide cyber criminals the ideal communication vehicle for malware. Increased reliance on mobile devices and corporate BYOD programs increase vulnerability. And new technologies like IPv6 bring complexity and offer hackers a security gap when defenses lag technology. As a result, IT security organizations are falling farther behind in the war on malware.

HP TippingPoint next-generation intrusion prevention system (NGIPS) and next-generation firewall (NGFW) broaden malware defenses by disrupting every phase of the malware lifecycle. To enable this, TippingPoint uses a three-prong approach based on original security intelligence from HP Security Research.
