Microsoft BI Is Head of the Class at Coppin State University 2007-12-04 Microsoft Tips

Faced with a small IT staff, a limited budget and a need to optimize its existing PeopleSoft ERP application and HEAT helpdesk platform, solving their data access problems could have been a daunting task for Coppin State University (CSU). Adding complexity, it needed a BI solution that would not take two or three years to implement. Finally it had to be easy-to-use with minimal training since it would be deployed to 200 users across the organization. CSU selected SQL Server and Windows Server 2000 as the best choice for moving forward. They also implemented Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 for in-depth data analysis, an integrated performance management application designed to help improve operational and financial performance across the organization.

Data Center Workload Monitoring, Analysis, and Emulation 2007-12-01 Duke University

Over the last ten years the author has witnessed a shift from large mainframe computing to commodity, off-the-shelf clusters of servers. Today's data centers contain thousands or tens of thousands of servers, providing services and computation for tens or hundreds of thousands of users. In addition to traditional IT challenges such as server management, security, and performance, data center owners now must deal with power and thermal issues, previously the domain of facilities management. These trends will continue to accelerate as organizations acquire bladed servers and consolidate multiple, smaller clusters into centrally-located data centers. However, in spite of these trends, there has been no corresponding change in emphasis in the methods and toolkits that target system instrumentation, analysis, management, replay, and emulation.

TechNet Webcast: Deliver Actionable Insight Throughout Your Organization With Data Mining (Part 3 of 3): Use Predictive Intelligence to Create Smarter KPIs (Level 200) 2007-11-29 Microsoft

The Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is an essential tool in building business intelligence applications for executive and strategic use. However, traditional KPIs are built over historical data, showing what has happened in the past and the current state of the business. There is increasing demand for "predictive KPIs," which show not only current status but project future status. For example, rather than knowing how many customers churned last quarter, would it not be useful to know how many customers are in danger of churning next quarter? This webcast demonstrates how to design, build, and deploy predictive KPIs using Microsoft SQL Server Data Mining.
