Few processes are as impactful to business operations as the introduction of technology changes. This is particularly true of trending technologies supporting IT service optimization, cloud computing and workforce mobility, which collectively represent a radical departure from traditional methods of enterprise computing. In this whitepaper learn about these three key trends and technologies, how to
Realizing the business value of cloud is one of today’s key challenges in enterprise IT. The key strategic capabilities of cloud – agility, resiliency and efficiency — can only be harnessed if the IT organization possesses the automation, orchestration and integration capabilities required to tie together hardware and software along the lines of business processes.

Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data—so much that 90 percent of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone. This data comes from everywhere: information-gathering sensors, social media sites, digital pictures and videos, transaction records and cell phone GPS signals, to name a few. This
Harnessing the necessary high performance compute power to drive modern biomedical research is a formidable and familiar challenge throughout the life sciences. Modern research-enabling technologies – Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), for example – generate huge datasets that must be processed. Key applications such as genome assembly, genome annotation and molecular modeling can be data-intensive, compute
Cybercriminals are taking advantage of the rapidly expanding attack surface found in today’s “any-to-any” world, where individuals are using any device to access business applications in a network environment that utilizes decentralized cloud services. The 2013 Cisco® Annual Security Report highlights global threat trends based on real-world data, and provides insight and analysis that helps
