An IDG Connect survey of 300 enterprize organization decision makers involved in hardware investment decisions reveals the challenges and opportunities that lay between the old style of IT characterized by cost-cutting and infrastructure silos, with the new style of IT driven by the technology trends of Mobility, Cloud and Big Data. These trends have created
Traditional server management and provisioning can create unnecessary burdens for many organizations. Information technology (IT) administrators in today’s business environments need a more streamlined process to manage servers throughout the IT life cycle, including tools to help them diagnose problems and procedures for efficiently resolving errors. This white paper provides an in-depth look at the
An IDG Connect survey of 300 enterprise organization decision makers involved in IT infrastructure decisions reveals the challenges and opportunities that lay between traditional IT characterized by complex, silo’ed infrastructure designs that are optimized around system technologies and the new style of IT optimized around delivering better business outcomes. HP Proliant Gen9 servers powered by
Delivering high-quality services with greater speed and efficiency is one of the greatest pressures facing your information technology (IT) infrastructure. The rise of cloud computing, expansive mobility options, and increasing pressure to boost application performance adds even more complexity—introducing inefficiencies that can limit your opportunity for growth and success. Traditional, siloed IT infrastructures are often
This report compares IBM’s new POWER8-based scale-out Power System to Intel E5 v2 x86-based scale-out systems. A follow-on report will compare scale-up POWER8-based Power Systems to Intel scale-up servers when those POWER8-based servers become available.
The analysis for comparative positioning of IBM PowerVM on POWER8 technology was updated to examine the findings when looking at industries whose results vary from the average in virtualization deployment arena, as defined in the 2014 study titled, “Why Your Virtualization Matters”. In this further review, the positioning and differentiation of PowerVM with POWER8 and
In this report we take a detailed look at the world of Big Data and enterprise analytics, discuss the differences between analytics usage models, and provide some definitions along the way. We also take a close look at a new platform that IBM believes can best x86 on both cost and performance measures. Can IBM
Kelsey-Seybold Clinic needed high-performance, cost-effective compute, storage and virtualization capabilities to improve patient care and support growth in medical specialties and patient visits.
The rate of change in the storage world continues to accelerate. Adoption of new technologies such as virtualization and flash (semiconductor) memory has become pervasive. High-end disk arrays have not been an exception to these trends. There has been a large-scale shift toward use of hybrid, multi-tier architectures that employ flash technology and conventional hard
The universe of mobility is a complex thing, and it is ever-expanding – much like our actual universe. The other similarity mobility shares with our ever-expanding cosmos is the potential that can be realized through a rational, analytic, and comprehensive understanding.
